I don't think that people have lost their minds...more that inquisitiveness has been lost to convenience. That some have allowed their minds to be shaped for them, to a certain way of thinking, because it makes life easier to get on with. Constantly reinventing the wheel holds no purpose, therefore (goes the argument) just make everything the way that works. It's commonly accepted, therefore correct.
You could probably count on 1 finger the amount of friends you know who have read Perrigo's stuff and, likely be shown the middle one, if daring to explore that work by a different way of thinking and ask for their help. An interesting line above was "the power could be transmitted over fine wires without meltdown". There ya go...HV produced by a possible variation of Tesla coil or other well coupled wireless energy transformer. It's easily possible to light fluoro tubes of 40W rating over 30 AWG wire at 25ft distance. And, what's more, strange sparkly pin head sized lights dance within the tube. That much is without doubt correct. If a fella gets to that point in his demonstrations and experiments, then we have to look closer at obfuscations, rationale by peers and derision from contemporaries.
I wanted to pass this thought along, as discussed yesterday on the phone with a friend. That was who I originally took those pics above for and then thought of this thread. He said "think of a crystal radio, how being near to an AM station can light an LED easy enough, how that energy can be transformed to run more than an earphone, at a substantial distance compared to regular induction. Now, why does noone think about the actual motor that Tesla used in the car ?". What if the motor worked in multiple ways, such as collecting the flyback from each pulse generated by the black box circuit. How the coils themselves may have resonated at the broadcast frequency. 6ft aerial on the back, ground strip hanging off the rear like so many present day cars have and a tuning coil in the form of the motor windings. The control circuit is in the black box. Here's something else discussed - how about when he said "and now we have power", that his own body capacitance and resistance interacted to destabilise the circuit and fire it up. The contacts were made, conventionally enough by the rods, but the circuit only fired up because he was holding them. After all, in a modern Slayer Exciter, a 20K resistor or so is only needed to fire the circuit up, it can then be disconnected.
