Here's a clue, first verpies posted a bs diagram of the Carlos Benitez patent with batteries and diodes.
I replied to your reference to Benitez patents, which you mentioned first
here.
Yes, I posted a schematic using modern symbols of electronic components, which I did not author (I found it on OU.com) but I do not understand why you call it "BS" (that moniker means "entirely false" with the intention to deceive).
What is false about this diagram ?
Assigning modern diode symbols to mercury rectifiers ?
BTW: The schematic does not contain a battery symbol (only a symbol of an electrolytic capacitor.). If the author of this modern schematic used a symbol of another capacitor technology then let's change it if you have data about it and if it matters.
Also, note that the text of the patent mentions a battery of capacitors (capacitors connected in series) , which still qualifies as a capacitor.
Then he didn't understand the direction of the mercury rectifiers nor there function.
And I still do not understand their function entirely. We had a good conversation going about them when you wrote that you want to move it to another thread.
Where is that thread ?
He also didn't catch the obvious fact that Benitez refers to inner and outer condenser coating and depicts Leyden Jar condensers in former patents.
I did catch the reference about the inner and outer coating but I did not bring it up in our conversation. You did not, either.
Also, the mere mention of these coating does not mean that the capacitor technology used by Benitez was based on Leyden jars because I've encountered identical inner/outer terminology in reference to other capacitor technologies which also have an inner and outer plate., e.g. see
this video.
Last but not least, the physical drawing in the GB191505591 patent depicts cuboid capacitors that do not look like the typical cylindrical shapes of a Leyden jars while the schematic does and the GB191417811 patent depicts parallel multiplate capacitors explicitly.
So it seems to me that you are guessing the capacitor technology as much as anyone who reads these patents.
He also didn't realize the device only has one input wire and two ground connections and clearly states the device can only be started by an electrostatic source such as a HV Wimshurst generator.
You are wrong about this detail.
The text of the patent clearly states that it can be a source of electric currents and gives the Wimshurst generator as
only one example. See the quote from the patent below:
...and supposing battery 1, connected by 49 means of wire 13, to a source of electric currents, (one electro-static machine Wimshurst, for instance);"
For these reasons alone I would consider verpies an amateur FE researcher at best
Yes, I am an amateur in this field but aren't we all ? Is any one here getting paid for this ?
..., at worst he is distracting people.
Since when asking questions about statements in other user's posts is distracting ?
...and distracting from what ?
