Standard White Page of Development testing for the Gold Plasma System.

The Second Test - This follows the first discovery that large plasma states could be achieved under water.

Key components to examine:

1. Thermal Updraft (the reference to the thermal) and it's potential role in regulating the plasma from going critical and melting down the source electrodes.

2. Borosilicate Glass durability - Can separators be used that will withstand the plasma strikes?

The development of a first holder condition that works was one of the thoughts behind this simple test.

3. Sustain the plasma without going critical - This was one of the first primary tasks as every test resulted in run away current saturation and even a load increase beyond a dead short circuit.

Regulation was only achieved shortly before the first electrode array proper was cobbled together and tested.

That video is here:

The Purpose of this test was to verify the formula which was the product of the testing data from the initial plasma tests pointing towards a stable plasma that could be regulated.

The key points of function otherwise were:

1. Ease of serviceability.

2. Minimal service for long duty cycles.

3. Standardize assembly techniques for future systems.

4. Easy setup and tear down for the end system.

The end results are weak spots in the insulator (the glass micro fractures after repeated plasma strikes)

This is a 40x magnification of the lower electrode. You can clearly see the impregnation of gold within the fine glass fractures.

Here is the Proto Array (electrode holders mounted on an open ended advance unit for testing of electrodes) and a typical run just 4 minutes shy of 1 hour. The concentration of the colloidal gold is 100ppm.
