The newspaper story is probably real, whether it is related to his invention is another question :) Do ask for a demonstration of a lightning strike on demand out of blue sky before investing more time or money in this scheme. BTW, if you want to learn more about capacitors, VDGs etc, I remember

hmmm, that seems reasonable. I wonder if a metal-metal version would have a similar capacitance? I might get a multimeter, play with some foil and wire and try to see if that capacitance is any below the metal-metal version. At any rate that it has capacitance is good and means that IMO it's

Don't know Steven, I watched the other video link you supplied and surely one is inclined to take the word of those that say they saw it rise from the volcano... This is what's frustrating... SO many questions that need to be asked. If it was a common occurrence then whoever saw a ring rising
