Hey guys. I have built this monopole thing and the applications of this technology are absolutely immense. I just finished up a paper about it. I think you will find it very interesting.
Great description of acceleration / deceleration of time -1:37:08 - 1:39:40 - through change of rate of "vibrations" (basically) - a brilliant session as ever 🌀🌟⚡🤗
Aether technologies and engineering are repeatedly dismissed as "impossible" through appeals made to the Michelson-Morley experiment ad-nauseam as "proving the aether does not exist".
Now, while the Michelson-Morley experiment of 1887 was a "good experiment", its results have consistently been misrepresented or misunderstood, much to the detriment of humanity ... for the last 120 plus years at least.
This misunderstanding or misrepresentation comes from the stated aim of the Michelson-Morley experiment, which tried to "prove", by splitting a light beam in two, with half the beam continuing straight on to a first mirror and half being deflected at right angles to a second mirror at a distance equal to the distance of the splitter to the first mirror, and then bringing the two half light beams back together, the presence of the "luminiferous" (light carrying) aether.
According to their reasoning, if the aether was present - and assuming the aether was at rest everywhere "with the Earth ploughing through it" - the resultant times taken by each beam to travel from the splitter to the mirror and back again would be different, causing an interference effect. In the simplest case, in one direction the light would travel there and back with no change in speed, while in the other direction, the light would travel slower or faster on the way to the mirror and then the opposite on the way back (the math looks like "delta t = d/v + d/v = 2d/v" for the unaffected beam, but "delta t = d/(v+v_extra) + d/(v-v_extra) != 2d/v" for the affected beam).
What they found, however, was no interference effect - and this is where the misunderstanding comes in.
Those who believe "the math proves it" are missing one important underlying factor - the speed of light (in the same medium) is constant, so the light will not speed up or slow down but rather its frequency will (minutely) increase and decrease,: it will still take the same time (v_extra will always be zero) no matter which direction it travels, arriving back at the splitter with the same frequency it left with. Indeed, the lack of any observed interference was used by both Lorentz and Einstein as one of the evidences that "c" is constant.
The experiment also showed up something else, however. Given one axis of the experiment being aligned in the direction of travel of the Earth, with the other at 90 degrees, the light travelling at 90 degrees should be expected to trace out an inverted-V shape, while the light travelling in the direction of travel of the Earth should travel a longer distance on its way to the mirror and shorter distance on the way back. Yet this does not happen. Why? Well, consider someone who gets up from their seat in a plane travelling at 2000 kilometers per hour (km/h) to go to the bathroom 15 meters away. As far as the plane passengers are concerned, the person walks the same distance in both directions and takes the same time (given a steady fixed walking pace) - say 30 seconds. To someone on the ground, however, that passenger travels a lot more than 15 meters in those 30 seconds - 16km plus in fact. Yet, to the passengers, the person is not walking at 2000 km/h, nor is the bathroom moving away at 2000 k/h. All movement is perceived relative to by those on board the place as being with respect to the plane's frame of reference. In the same way, the experiment only made sense if the light was "seeing" the mirrors in the experiment as fixed with respect to the light source and the whole was behaving with respect to its own local frame of reference - the experiment was demonstrating concepts that went on to be used in the theories of relativity, in other words.
So, independent of "the aether", the Michelson-Morley experiment of 1887 demonstrated the speed of light in the same medium being constant AND the "reality" of relativity. What it did not do, however, was prove or disprove the existence of the aether. Yet, this experiment is always quoted as the reason "we know" the aether does not exist - despite even Einstein stating that the aether, in some form, must exist for electromagnetic waves to propagate through - and matter - and the universe - not to simply implode in on itself, for one golden rule of nature is that nature likes to fit matter into the smallest possible space - and nature abhors a vacuum, especially one that is void of any "stuff".
Found this bad boy on youtube, It's a functioning replica of an armstrong electrostatic boiler. I do not know if it's completely the way like the original though but it does accumulate quite some spark.

Keep up the great work Mr. Greenyer!

Just repeating my YT comment here:
