1992 Corum Daum & Moore "Tesla Coil Research"

I THINK this is downloadable by all, no login required.
James Corum apparantly won a 1992 $1M Army contract to explore a Death
Ray, a directed-energy weapon (method of guiding the discharge from a
large Tesla Coil.) They'd been putting vacuum-bulbs atop a large coil,
and when the glass envelope was melt-perforated as usual, they observed a
long straight discharge. Apparently a molecular (or perhaps macro-
particle) beam was emitted through the melted hole, and this would guide
the coil's normal plasma streamers. Using a designed emitter, they
attained ?30? foot straight-line discharges from their large coil. I
stumbled upon their PDF Army paper, on James Corum's personal page on
academic "researchgate" site.
PS
Did I post this here last year?

Their startup corp Viziv declared bankruptcy in ?Jan? 2021 Rumor is that
the Corums bailed out much earlier, after their board decided to start
telling lies to stockholders. Rumor: the hundred-plus patents are owned
by others, not the Corums.

Go grab a copy of this from archive.org...
NEW ENERGY TECHNOLOGY magazine, 2001-2005 (25 issues)
300meg ZIP of pdf collection
http://web.archive.org/web/20190808090740/http://www.faraday.ru/net25.zip
I notice that Alex Frolov's old 300meg PDF archive of New Energy
Technology magazine has vanished from his Faraday.ru website. English
language version, mostly. N.E.T magazine is even better than Electric
Spacecraft Journal and Fortean Times (lots more weird physics!) HOURS of
mental entertainment (nay! weeks!)
Or find inidiviual PDF files online: http://www.faraday.ru/net.htm

Terry Blanton in a thread here sevral weeks back compared phase transitions
to witch craft..
Most phase transitions are a "fractal edge," nonlinear populations
impossible to understand until the mid-1980s, when nonlinear dynamics
birthed the Complexity sciences, and some methods to investigate Emergent
Phenomena. The boiling and freezing points of water are not stored in the
water molecule, but instead are Emergent patterns, stored across a
population. They're basically similar witchcraft to turbulence: ab initio
creation of vorticity from thermal vibrations or perhaps from QM noise.
Continuous repeated amplification of nano-noise, femto-noise, sensitive
dependence on initial conditions, but producing some threshold phenomena
and "growth from seeds."
