Chuck Henderson was primarily into the work of Wilhelm Reich and Orgone Energy. He had in mind many experiments regarding cloud busting, Orgone accumulators and the use of orgone in free energy or levitation modes. Ron Barker was more into the effects of pyramid energy, UFO's and the uses of crystals and psychic energy. This included equipment to enhance ones abilities. Jerry Decker was primarily into Keely with interests in biology for healing and age reversal. Ron had spoken with Bob Wallace, Director of the Gates Planetarium in Denver regarding his lightning show ZAP! He told me of the discussion and we made a deal with Bob to lease his 2.3 MV coil and setup for the lightning show. We had it in mind to seek corporate sponsorship for public demonstrations as well as to do non-public experiments on our own. We also planned to try for a spot at the Texas State Fair to be held in October as we understood that up to $500,000 could be made for the 3 week period of the fair. We hoped that anything we made from this could be placed in trust to provide a continuing interest payment without affecting the principal. This funding would be used for our various research projects. As it turned out, no corporations were interested although we received many letters. We finally struck a deal with the owner of a closed movie theater to give the show a try for one month. After creating a special stage, running custom 220VAC power and shielding the inside walls with chicken wire to provide Faraday shielding, we began our shows. During that run, we only succeeded in attracting one newspaper article and one entertainment mention. Page 1 Ron had spent hours visting radio, TV and newspaper offices as well as many phone calls trying to elicit interest. We had numerous engineers and technical types attend our one hour shows, even with a special group from Texas Power and Light. However much they loved the show, they felt it would be irresponsible to sponsor a show that showed electricity streaming from ones fingers. Never mind that the show was heavy into explaining the safe use of electricity with all its dangers and the Kids, don't try this at home warnings. As to technical details and any phenomena that we noted, the coil had a maximum output of 2.3 million volts. It used a rotating spark gap which was fan quenched. It was tuned for 170 KHZ. By adjusting the distance between the spark gaps we could increase the output or decrease it as desired. For the general effects, we used the full 2.3 MV and for the section where the Mr. ZAP character allowed the electricity to run over his body, the power was reduced to 900,000 Volts. To get the best effects, the greatest power must be used so Ron, Chuck and I each stood on the platform to determine how much we could handle without pain. Chuck seemed to be most sensitive to the energy and would cringe at about 650 to 700 KV. Ron could take up to 800 KV while I had no problems running at 900 KV. Once, we cranked it up to 1 MV but I could only stand it for about 10 seconds. It felt like you were vibrating, rather jerking, but the worst was the emission of current from any pointed area. This actually burned the skin and drilled small holes which were black on inspection. Of course, this burning occurred anytime the energy was allowed to flow directly from the skin, however, the electrical potential determined the degree of burn and thus the pain level. The show used a narrator, Wayne Fowler who had memorized a script relating the facts of Tesla's life and which was all sequenced to the actions of the Mr. Zap character. We included as much spectacle as possible, from roasting marshmallows with lighting to be fed to the audience, to letting them hold fluourescent tubes while the machine was energized. Two interesting anomalous observations that occurred which might be of interest : 1) I had about 3 warts on my hands, one on my right thumb, one on my left index finger and another on my left wrist. Now warts are caused by viruses which are known to be destroyed by high levels of oxygen. These had been present for years. After about two weeks of doing the ZAP program which involved the emission of lightning from metal caps attached to the fingers (ZAP3.GIF), I happened to be at work and was using a screwdriver. Something did not feel the same and I looked Page 2 down to see that ALL the warts were completely gone with not scars or visible trace that they had ever been. 2) To watch the energy streaming off the skin is a fascinating display, and during the show we would separate the fingers to provide multiple paths and then join them together to form rivers of plasma. I would at times allow the energy to flow off my elbows and one day while watching it flow from my right elbow with an audience in attendance, I noticed these small yellow spheres mixed in with the outflowing streams. These yellow spheres were about 1/8 to 1/4 inch in diameter and all were identical as to color, intensity and size. They appeared to jump off the skin fully created. I was so entranced that for about a minute I forgot about the audience while viewing the spheres. After the show, I discussed it with Ron and Chuck and we decided it could be one of two things. Either it was ball lightning or it was energized salt particles that glowed yellow due to the sodium. I should explain here that we used two bottles of water, one was highly saturated with salt, the other was distilled. This was because energy when resisted, generates heat, so we wanted the greatest energy transfer from the electrical cable into our feet yet we did not wish to burn up our hair. For that reason, we sprayed the salt solution on our feet and the metal plate yet sprayed the distilled water on our hair and head to prevent burning. We thought it possible that the spheres could be ionized bubbles of salt, either generated from body salt or through careless applicaton of the salt spray. So the next day, I made sure that absolutely sure that no extraneous salt spray had come in contact with anything but my feet. When we lit up the machine, the bubbles appeared again. One further point, these bubbles DID NOT APPEAR until the power level reached or exceeded approximately 800 KV. There is another file on KeelyNet which had a direct bearing on this project, and that is the files HARDY1.ASC based on the image HARDY1.GIF. We hoped that such a large Tesla coil would yield much more spectacular results. However, we did not get the chance to carry out this experiment while in the theater setting. -------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have comments or other information relating to such topics as this paper covers, please upload to KeelyNet or send to the Vangard Sciences address as listed on the first page.
