Tony Wakefield on the "Wakefield
Experiment".
A challenge to Academia.
The "Wakefield Wakefield Experiments " one
& two were both performed in non-laboratory conditions with the best
equipment & materials available. The challenge is to ask that these
experiments be repeated in a controlled laboratory environment by recognised
professionals and the findings reported.
Ivor Catt claims that there is no such thing as a static
charge in a capacitor and that the energy is moving at the speed of light (c) in a dielectric.
Light travels 30
centimetres or 11.811 inches in 1 nanosecond in a vacuum .
Capacitors come
is different shapes and sizes, making it difficult to show what is happening
inside. By stretching out the capacitor to 2 very thin & long wires makes
it very easy to measure the results. A coaxial cable provides the ideal method
to produce a long capacitor and also minimise external interference.
A capacitor is a
transmission line and a transmission line is a capacitor. The experiment
required a termination into a infinitely long
termination (matching coax of same impedance). This is not practical, but can
be simulated by a terminating resistor of same impedance as the cable. This can
be simplified with a metal film small resistor of value equal to the Coaxial impedance.
It was noted
that minor imperfections in the components and test equipment used would result
in slight overshoot / undershoot / ringing in the waveforms observed in the
documented experiment.
The length of
the capacitor / coax used was 18 meters so that we could measure the times
within a couple of nanoseconds accuracy and minimal losses.
At the
completion of the experiments I am in agreement with Ivor
Catt that the results matched his prediction of some 40 years ago.
History.
I first met Ivor Catt in the late 1960's when we both worked for a new
UK computer company. We both worked in the design and development of a new fast
mini computer. I lost contact with Ivor for 50 years, but made contact a few years ago and
studied some of his work via his website. I looked at the experiment that he
was unable to do as the test equipment he had obtained would not function due
to age. I was able to come up with a way to replace the equipment he had. After
discussions I offered to perform the "Wakefield Experiment One". [We still have not met for 50 years, and now he is in Australia. I
watched “Wakefield 1” on Skype. – Ivor Catt]
At a presentation
to Newcastle University given by Ivor Catt, four Phd students came up with a different experiment that would
verify the results of experiment one. This is now known as
Linkedin Tony Wakefield: https://au.linkedin.com/in/tony-wakefield-4020723 18 July 2016
Tony failed to say (above) that before he did the
experiment I told him
it would not be possible to publish the results in a peer
reviewed journal.
Peers would
not permit the suggestion that a charged
capacitor
did not have a stationary electric field.
Professor Yakovlev refused
to give me the names
of
the four students responsible for Wakefield 2
I wanted them to
do the experiment and try to publish the results.
Newcastle
University could not afford to be involved in an experiment which
showed that a charged capacitor did not have a stationary
electric field.
Neither will
Newcastle do the next “Wakefield” experiments called EEB
