phantom

Having observed one of these ‘entities’, I am of the opinion that the mind makes the interpretation from some visual stimulus.

Theosophy appears to be explanations from some sort of hallucinatory phenomenon applied to the “real world”… which doesn’t work too well.

I saw one during the day.

Since you said it was a clothesline pole I’ll take a wild guess and say it was to tie off to secure the end of the clothesline. And then you stated: “Clip fit easily…” You stated in post #6 explaining your experiment: “Car battery charger rated at 20 amps”. I asked in post #19: “Was there some indication on the ammeter of the battery charger to tell you how much current was going through the circuit?”. You replied in post # 20: “I hooked the positive aligator clamp from the charger on the pole because of Leedskalnin's description of current”. Side Note: They don’t use alligator clamps (more accurately – clips) on battery chargers. You then said: “It pushed 20 amps through the clamps, but I don't know how many amps actually flowed over the wet pavement”. I then asked in post #26: “How can you conduct 20 amps through the circuit you described? And you replied: “20 amps comes out if you have it connected to a car battery”. Since an automotive battery doesn’t come with an ammeter, may I dare ask, how did you know this? It doesn’t make any difference what the power source is, what determines the amount of current flowing in the circuit is the resistance and the applied voltage. Since battery chargers have an output voltage higher than an automotive battery, it stands to reason more current would flow through the circuit using a battery charger. Since the battery charger is rated at 20 amps, it should have no problem sustaining this amount of current (if not a little more) before some circuit protection kicks in. There is no such thing as a “concreted brick”. You described a concrete building block which is quite porous because it contains entrapped and entrained air. You did use the word “soak”. When in doubt go to Google and in the box, type in- define:soak. It doesn’t mean to moisten. Maybe your bathroom scale only has two readings – 13 and 15 pounds. If water were that conductive then automotive batteries would quickly discharge from fog, mist, rain, snow, ocean spray, road salt, etc. There are many connections in automobiles, trucks, tractors, bulldozers, etc., that are not well protected like the battery, alternator and starter connections. In the real world automotive storage batteries don’t magically discharge due to north pole magnets committing suicide and automotive electrical circuits don’t develop low resistance shorts under adverse conditions. In other words, your posts are full of nonsense. For the rest of you that may be interested in the Leedskalnin fantasy, you can find it here: http://keelynet.com/unclass/magcurnt.txt http://keelynet.com/unclass/magcur2.txt http://keelynet.com/unclass/magcur3.txt

A fireplace chimney is magnetic but it doesn’t levitate. Car axles turn too slow because of gear reduction in the transmission and differential. Leadskalnin probably used the PTO (power takeoff) from the forklift he used to load the coral stones to power his generator. I’m still trying to figure out the following: 1. How do you attach a 20 amp battery clip, which has a maximum jaw spread of one inch, to a six inch diameter pole? 2. How do you take a fifteen pound concrete block and soak it with water and still have it weigh fifteen pounds? 3. How can you conduct 20 amps through the circuit you described? The bathroom scale has several layers of insulation. The top of the scale has a non-slip mat which is an insulator. The is applied to the scale with some adhesive (another insulator). And the top of the scale is also insulated because it is painted. The bottom of the scale has little ‘feet’ to prevent scratching the floor and those are also insulators.

I assume what you mean by a “cement brick” is really a concrete brick or block. I’m having trouble visualizing this setup. There must be some reason why a T pole is embedded into the concrete pavement in the first place. Could you tell me what the diameter of the pole is? Does the “cement brick” weigh 15 pounds before or after it has been soaked? If before, then how much did it weigh after it was soaked? Did you dry the brick and then weigh it after the experiment? Or was it still soaking wet? Or did the scale just say – 13 pounds? Was there some indication on the ammeter of the battery charger to tell you how much current was going through the circuit? How did you hook the alligator clamp of the battery charger to the “cement brick”? How old was the battery charger at the time of the experiment? Did the battery charger have a non-polarized AC plug or a newer style polarized plug, or a grounded plug? Do you know what the voltage is of the battery charger? Answering these questions will give me a better idea of how this experiment was conducted.

I don't understand this experiment.

The answer is how he or rather his chemist did emission spectroscopy. http://alchemylife.org/ORMES_1994.pdf
