Anselmo, I'm following your experiment closely trying to learn all I can that might apply to my own version of Patent 5796369. I would appreciate clarification on a couple of points. First, do your terms 'cylinder' and 'dish' correspond, respectively, to the patent's terms 'generator' and 'collector'? They appear, to but I want to make sure we are talking about the same thing. Second, is the top of your cylinder (generator) closed, i.e. a solid surface (as it appears to be in the diagram in my copy of the patent)? And finally, when you speak of the importance of a stable and rigid ground reference are you referring to your dish (collector) or to yet another ground screen or plane of some sort not described in the patent? You are doing us all a great service with your experimentation and frequent reports. Best wishes.
