Subject: #58 Wimshurst generator experiment with magnets to see if lightning is a form of superconductivity; new textbook: "How Superconductivity really works; nanosecond Capacitor discharge current"

In the history of superconductivity theory there was much debate as to
whether superconduction was a phase
change over regular-conductivity, much like a phase change of water as
solid or liquid or gas.

In that history, phase shift was ruled out and the theory focused
entirely on the electrons as the property of
superconduction.

But in that history, a Capacitor theory of Superconduction would have
also ruled out a phase change. Because
Capacitor would focus on electrons only as a mechanism of buildup of
charge and then a nanosecond discharge
and another buildup.

So if currents come in two types, one of regular currents in copper or
aluminum or currents that have a
capacitor buildup and then discharge in series of buildup and then
discharge would be two distinct type of
currents.

Now lightning current is a Capacitor buildup of charge and then a flow
of current in the discharge. So I aim
to experiment with a Wimshurst generator to mimic a lightning bolt
current and to see if I can alter the current
with applied magnets as electrodes or nearby the electrodes. I want to
see if I can create a Meissner type
effect in a Wimshurst.

Now it maybe the case that the Meissner Effect is a phase shift from
type 1 superconductors to type 2
superconductors of the perovskites. No telling what lightning current
type superconduction possess. Maybe
lightning is type 3 or type 4 Meissner Effect superconduction.

So what I am saying with this theory of superconductivity, is that it
is Capacitor discharges of current in
nanosecond time intervals. These discharges are so rapid that we
perceive them as a continuous flow of
current when in fact they are quantized by the Capacitor buildup and
then discharge.

Imagine a large tank that is rapidly filled with water in a split
second of time and then the tank opens
its gate and the water is released in another split second of time. So
the filling up and the release
is so fast that we perceive it as just one continuous flow of water.

Now I need to do the experiment on regular conduction of current flow
in a copper wire with magnets nearby
to see how it affects the current and it should not affect the current
as a Meissner Effect. But if the Capacitor
theory is correct, magnets near a Wimshurst generator should affect
the current as a moderate-Meissner Effect.

I am going to set up a small Wimshurst generator and hopefully able to
get some measurements. Measurements
that would not be good enough for journal publication but measurement
good enough for me to settle
the questions in my mind as to whether a Capacitor Current is
distinctly different from a Regular Current
and whether a moderate Meissner Effect can occur in all Capacitor
Currents.

Now there is much news in recent years that Lightning bolts are
triggered by Cosmic Rays. So that the clouds
act as Capacitor but that the Cosmic Ray is essential for the current
to flow.

I started this book with Microwire concept that electrons form
geometrical microwires and when in the frozen
state of near absolute Kelvin zero that those wires are all aligned.

I am very satisfied with the Capacitor mechanism of superconductivity,
but I may need a "trigger" to discharge
the capacitor buildup. Up to now, I have settled with the idea that
the Capacitor of a superconductor automatically
discharges when "full" and in another nanosecond recharges the
Capacitor. But, like lightning, I may need
another mechanism to trigger the discharge.

So although I have rallied around the Capacitor concept and have sort
of ignored the Microwire concept, it may
play out that I need the Microwire concept as a trigger mechanism in
superconduction. So that the Tc temperature
aligns all the electrons in a Microwire array so that as the layers of
the Perovskite acting as Parallel Plate
Capacitors all fill up on charge, that the Microwire array then aids
in the discharge.

At the moment, I think I need only the Capacitor concept to explain
all of superconductivity and all of the Quantized
Hall Effect and the Meissner Effect. But it may turn out that I need
more than the Capacitor mechanism and
may need the Microwire concept in addition.
