The latest on the controlled generation of
Ball Lightning
basic info from the September 90' issue of
Electronics World
--------------------------------------------------------------------
A team of Japanese researchers, under the guidance of Professor
Yoshihiko Otsuki at Tokyo's Waseda University have successfully
generated ball lighting.
Detailed reports are not available at this time although the
experiment is known to have been conducted out of doors. The output
from a 2KW microwave oven was attached to a TUBE OF COPPER WIRE MESH
which then served as an OPEN WAVEGUIDE.
When the oven was turned on, the tube produced a glowing ball 2 to 3
centimeters in diameter that floated along the mesh for nearly 2
minutes.
During this period, the ball was seen to change from white to a
dazzling orange.

Vangard notes...
Researchers in the field of ball energy no doubt are aware of
the accidental generation of ball lightning onboard submarines.
Relays used on subs have contacts which have a downward curve on
the end which opens. The idea is to quench the intense
electrical arc which helps to reduce the life of the contacts.
This type of contact acts as a sort of waveguide to "shape" the
high intensity electrical field (no doubt having metal residue
in addition to carbon) into the shape of a sphere.
The description of the antics which the submarine ball lightning
carried out are very similar. A spherical waveguide would be a
much more logical means of generating a 3 dimensional sphere
which, with sufficient velocity, could be thrown off the end of
the tube.

information on the Kugelblitz and Feurball fighters developed by
the Germans prior to the end of WWII.
In addition, you might find the article by Larry Spring
interesting which is entitled SPHERE1.ASC. It deals with
Larry's discovery that all propagating waves take the form of a
sphere.
We will keep you informed of anything else we find since this
subject will eventually lead to a form of levitation much akin
to the Kugelblitz technology which disappeared at the end of
WWII.
