the material is a kind of barium titanate or some other high dielectric ceramics
i almost build it... i even managed to made the barium titanate powder but didnt finished the prototype because i came across the following
the electric field is not only determined by the set up of charges but also on the current and resistance of the medium
is true that if we apply 50 kv most of it will be on water if the dielectric is much higher.. however when the water (resistive medium) terminate the flow of the electrons the electric field will be almost zero...
so i felt it was not worth
but instead recently i started to have more interest in this but have no time or money to finish that...
i also tried the fracture cell with no success or at the time not so much effort or knowledge
i think we should try
my idea about the tayhe is that it first charges the capacitor than discharge to keep it aways having a changing electric field..
last but not least there is also that other patent that uses a kind of graphite layer over the capacitor and has some structure to let the ions discharge to prevent the screening of the charge...
