Clarifying terms

It occurs to me that much of the confusion in this field comes from the convolution of terms with similar meanings under the vague 'ether'. On the one hand we have whatever it is (space? ether? stresses in ether?) that is bounded by magneto or dielectric vortices (with or without charged particles), bound inside/outside wires, bound inside/outside nucleic particles, etc. JJ Thompson, the guy who discovered the electron, used the term Ether. At this point I am quite confortable conceptializing this form just as a shaping of space (and counterspace?). The other term which is regularly referred to as Ether is the ambipolar neutrino radiation with oscillating mass, oscillating charge, and various species as a function of both frequency and wavelength. This form also goes under the terms massfree orgone energy, cosmic orgone energy, neutrino, ambipolar radiation, vril flux, radiant matter, radiant energy, and a variety of other names. Note that both of these are distinct from the notion of a purely mechanical ether. Which begs the question, what are the proper terms for these three species of distinct concepts?

More neutrino reactions

Mental note, investigate: cerenkov radiation

More lighning-in-wood forms

James Borges at Borderlands has kindly posted some more videos.

Here is one of Eric Dollard and Tom Brown at a 1986 meeting of the USPA (United States Psychotronic Association). http://research.borderlands.com/wiki/Brown,_Dollard_%26_Beck_on_MWO_(1986_U.S.P.A._video) In this video, they describe a reproduction of the Lakhovsky Multiwave Oscillator, Reich's "organomes", some antenna theory, and also Eric shows one of the 'lightning in wood' forms.

I have been reviewing some recently made available videos of the BSRF (Borderlands Science Research Foundation) crew's experiments circa 1987. Peter Lindemann has made them available as a package of 'classic energy videos' on one of his websites (http://www.classicenergyvideos.com/emediapress.php). There are all sorts of wonderful and fascinating phenomena demonstrated on these videos, but I will focus on a 40 minute span of Eric Dollard demonstrations on the 'free energy research' video from about 80 minutes to 120 minutes in. Some of these phenomena had been described in the previously published Tom Brown interview with Eric Dollard in the 'Eric Dollard - Free Energy Research' booklet still available from Borderlands, and there is some supporting imagery in said booklet of a dielectric discharge into an insulator with a prominent golden mean ratio Lichtenberg figure.

In any case, Eric shows (at least) the following things:

1) A small tesla transformer modulating some classical music with a spark gap producing impulse currents. When several pieces of wood are exposed to said current, a Lichtenberg figure is burned into the wood over time. The pattern is distinctly dendritic and organic in form, appearing like the top side of a tree. This pattern is descrived as being 'dielectric' in nature. Also described, but not show, are patterns shown from an inductive (magnetic) discharge with more 'root-like' patterns.

2) An evacuated (vacuum) globe of about 4" diameter is placed between the vertical pancake coils of 2 large small transformers which are facing with the high voltage nodes away from each other. In this area, there is a complex interplay between 2 monopolar dielectric fields. The interior of the bulb forms planetary looking globules within a distinct plasma membrane. Also described, but not shown, are formations from an earlier public demonstration with a very similar setup but much larger tesla transformers. Over time Eric claims that forms like nebulae and galaxies appear. This is in keeping with Wilhelm Reich's "Cosmic Superimposition" thesis and similar to the David Talbott's "Electric Universe" thesis. Also claimed is that over time these bulbs will form small punctures with the accompanying sound of escaping gas at high velocity and that if one holds ones hands near the bulb, one will feel an outward pressure. This suggests the manifestation of ponderable matter from interacting dielectric fields (in the presense of nuetrino's). This is also reminiscent of one of Dan Winter's maxims "matter follows life follow water follows dielectricity follows mind".

3) A phenomena is described, but not shown, where a form of dielectric discharge has the property of absorbing light and that this can be seen against a background such as a diffuse flourescent light. Gerry Vassilatos, in his work, describes this 'black radiance' under the term Vril at great length.

4) Lighting up a flourescent bulb in the vicinity of the capacitative node of the tesla transformer.

5) Extremely high voltage DC with dielectric lines of force visualized by strings.

Based upon my reading of Vassilatos' 'Vril Compendium'(s) and related works, in order to be complete, a Vril Theory must account for each of the following phenomena in a comprehensible and testable manner. I will continue to post the relevant experiements, video, source material, etc. I may supplement the list, but will keep this numbering:
VT1: Classical Electrodynamics (e.g. conduction, induction, capacitance, resistance, AC/DC power transmission, etc.)
VT2: All the stuff left out of Classical Electrodynamic theory but clearly in the canon (e.g. Faraday's homoplanar generator)
VT3: One-wire transmission of power, in the absense of measurable electic or magnetic fields (e.g. Tesla's magnifying transmitter, Dollard's analog computer)
VT4: Radiant Energy phenomena (Moray, Tesla) including the evolution, transmission, and reception of (net) electrically and magnetically neutral species, and conversion to conventional EM (e.g. with laminated aerial metal plates)
VT5: Creation and absorbtion of photons (e.g. Reichenbach's OD experiements, Vassilatos' description of 'Black Radiance' around grounded iron)
VT6: Disruptive Discharge phenomena (Tesla's quenched spark gap, Gray and Lindemann's "Cold Electricity")
VT7: Evolution/dissipation of matter (e.g. Reich's "Cosmic Superimposition)
VT8: Wireless transmission of power (e.g. Tesla's magnifying transmitter, Meyl's solid state Tesla transmitter)
VT9: Torque effect in high voltage lines
VT10: Neural impulse transmission of photon energy
VT11: Nerve induction between parties over 1 wire
VT12: Transmission of images directly to mind (e.g. Eidetics)
VT13: Projection/absorbtion of vril/orgone/dor to cause atmospheric effects (e.g. Reich's cloudbuster, Trevor James Constable's etheric weather engineering)
VT14: Golden ration electric charge/discharge effects
VT15: Other ORAC effects (e.g. temperature differential effect, relationship to static discharge)
VT16: One wire and wireless longitudial magneto dielectric transmission in excess of C (Dollard, Tesla, Meyl)
VT17: Evolution of classical quanta

In addition, a complete Vril Theory should attempt to address these appendix phenomena:
VTA1: Bilocation, or at least the sense of 'being there'
VTA2: Transmission of regenerative energy along nervous system and between individuals
VTA3: Seeing through walls (gothic cathedrals) or grounded plates
VTA4: Biological detectors
VTA5: Radionics phenomena (influence at a distance, taking pictures of past/current/future forms)
VTA6: Ganzfeld phenoma and related image transmission phenoma (e.g. remote viewing)

I went ahead and started a facebook group called "Lost Science - Gerry Vassilatos" and have been posting imagery and links there.
