Personal Letters to Eric Dollard

[Aaron]

If you have personal messages to Eric that aren't related to topics already in the forum, please post them here. I talked to Eric and he is interested in getting active in this forum again.

I moved the 432 discussion here: https://www.energeticforum.com/forum.../516854-432-hz

[Sescher]

Wow this is seriously amazing news! Also I'd like to ask is there a specific range to questions to be asked (obviously nonsensical ones and non constructive ones aren't allowed) such as is it only limited to purely engineering questions, or can they also be a little more "out there"?

[Aaron]

Eric prefers to discuss engineering topics. If it is something more "out there", I'd start a new thread in a different section. He will still see it and may or may not respond. lol

[Sescher]

Ok got it no problem! I don't have a strong engineering background so forgive me in advance or feel free to ignore XD! I'll start things off by asking what would Eric consider the absolute minimum amount of wattage one could use and still observe "Tesla-like" effects (I can't really think of the correct terminology at the moment)? I ask of this because I came across an article, in which somehow 1-foot sparks were obtained with less than 10W. Also what are Eric's thoughts an electrostatic generator/Induction coil going into the input of a Tesla coil set up instead of an AC step-up transformer? Is the input source interchangeable so long as it provides the high voltage needed or does the AC step-up transformer provide a specific advantage over an electrostatic generator or induction coil of similar output?

Aaron, could you confirm the username/s Eric has used in the past and his current username. I'm interested on his thoughts on LC resonance, as this is an area I am currently researching where I believe there are multiple examples where energy multiplication is possible. I'm still trying to wrap my head around why certain LC circuit can exhibit Overunity and others can't. At present, I put it down to the "Q factor" of a circuit.

I'm pretty sure it's a topic Eric has discussed extensively, eg talking about "making so much power from the square root of negative one" (ie reactive power), as well as his "100 Watt lightbulb challenge".

Hi, I'm also interested in the same subject more or less as phi1.62 and to that extent have carried out the attached mathematical analysis of RC and RL circuits with time varying inductance/capacitance with interesting results. Because of how the non constant terms change the equations I have used numerical methods for solving, I don't know if Eric has means of solving such differential equations analytically but that would be something of interest to me.

The image below is what I have got by solving the differential equations for RC and RL circuits driven by an AC voltage source with the inductance or capacitance varying at twice the AC frequency. True power is power delivered to the load, apparent power is basically input power. Negative apparent power means power is actually being sent back to the source while still dissipating power in the load, this effect appears to happens 180? apart for RL and RC circuits with respect to the function driving the parameter variation, it also reminds me of the SERPS videos. It seems to me the next question is how much energy is required to cause the parameter variation, if it can be done effectively by switching then it make sense the energy requirements for this would have no relationship to the changes in inductance and capacitance and the overall behavior of energy in the system.

If you could forward the attached on to Eric I would definitely be very interested in what he has to say. Aside from that thanks for continuing to put out the interesting content.

Eric's name in the forum is T-Rex

Another question I would like to ask, even though its not strictly engineering related. While researching articles related to Tesla, I came across this very interesting one titled "The Effects of Roentgen Rays on Light" in which not only did their conclusion provide more evidence to Tesla's particle stream being the true "X-Rays"(albeit the but also claiming the very same thing Eric does, in which that there's a good basis for the Sun and Stars are not visible from space. Even though these were done with Crooke's tubes and not actual Tesla Tubes, I would like to know what are Eric's thoughts on this experiment and whether there is enough merit to it to warrant being expanded upon?

Also sorry I don't know if the attached clips aren't able to be seen Eric, if they aren't then feel free to ignore the question.

Hello Mr. Dollard,

I’m seeking advice on where to start in Electrical Engineering and Field Theory. In one interview, you stated that the science of Physics is not the science of Electricity. In another, you advised a guest caller seeking guidance to skip Physics and study Electrical Engineering instead. My question is if I study Physics, which concepts are appropriate to learn? And since Physics, as you stated, “has no business in electricity,” what concepts in Electrical Engineering or Field Theory are most relevant to focus on?

What I’m hoping to understand is a clear distinction between the concepts taught in Physics and those in Electrical Engineering.

Good evening Eric, do apparatus that produce radiant energy effects at a distance do so by inducing vibrations in the Aether or by projecting particles of Radiant Matter as Tesla claimed? Kind regards.

The amount of power is immaterial since coil operation is linear. Small power small effects; large power big effects. Length of an arc is generally related to voltage, and not necessarily output power in terms of Watts. Electrostatic generator is not applicable: the source of power must be in the radio frequency range.

Steinmetz Theory and Calculation of A.C Phenomenon, Chapter on "Reaction Machines." I Wrote on the subject in the Lone Pine years.

Tesla Rays are not Roentgen Rays; they are "Cosmic Rays." I will have to review your enclosed article after printing a physical copy, and respond accordingly.

Read all three volumes of my book, Electromagnetic Induction and It's Propagation. See video presentation on Extraluminal Transmission Systems of Tesla and Alexanderson. A History of The Theories of Aether and Electricity by E.T Whittaker will give you a historical backdrop.All works by Oliver Heaviside, and Charles Steinmetz provide a theoretical basis; assuming you have the necessary mathematical understanding to adequately interpret their publications.
