But you don't have to be a scientist to do it on the bench and try some experiments.

Because a capacitor, two conductive plates, in between them sandwiched an insulator, a dielectric that stores electric charge.

So, you know, what's complicated about that?

And if you read all the so-called research into the BB effect, none of it's exhaustive.

None of it.

It's all, oh, I did five kilovolts at DC.

I did 10 kilovolts at AC.

Obviously, Buhler went very far.

There are a few people that went far.

Army Research Laboratory.

But no one's done a huge battery of tests with a multitude of dielectrics, a multitude of different plates, the mass of the plates, not just the material.

Is it AC?

Is it DC?

Do you use a sine wave?

Do you use a ramp wave or a triangle wave or a sawtooth wave?

Or how long is your pulse?

What's your delay?

There's quite a few parameters compared to a lot of stuff.

But for a home experimenter,

It's doable within a few hundred hours, I think, and I've probably done about 60 hours all told.
