Hi webmug,
well i guess there should be 23 wires being one the ground.
In the Fig. 170 the ground is connected to the inlet of the water, well i tried that not too much also but i think that he placed there to mislead everyone. Notice how this ground form a capacitance in relation to the positive and negative voltage zones!!!
I know in his cavity we see no ground, i believe that he hid it. Inside all that Delrin. The ground actually can be so hid that it can only be the way he used to fix the resonant cavity on the dune buggy. You need a capacitance and it will have whatever the way you make it.
I just understood something that happened to me in italy when i was doing some tests. .
I had a prototype witch you can see in my youtube channel, that was composed of steel tubes inside a plexyglass tube, and water was only inside the steel tube. There was also a bolt in the middle that was my center electrode.
I was performing some tests, and something really weird was happening. I had a full wave bridge rectifier connected to the 220v in the wall, and when i connected for example the positive to one of the electrodes on water, just one wire, nothing happens. Than i disconnected this one wire and connected the negative, again only one wire. The result is that every time i change the polarity, the electricity of my house goes completely down. I mean that i need to go to the panel and restart all the breakers.
That was really really weird, but now i understand exactly what was happening. And it is exactly related to what i'm saying here. Water as a dielectric liquid in is in a isolated bath will take on an electric charge. So when i was changing the wire (changing the polarity), even if not connecting the two wires at the same time to close the circuit, the accumulated charge in the water kind of discharge all in one in my house line collapsing it.
Interesting hun
So water have a capacitance for its own. And will take on an electric charge if in an isolated place.
I think that this makes clear what i'm saying.
Tell me what you think.
