I have to say, you guys are getting very close to figuring this out. I posted a while back about using an ignition coil but the idea I had did not work so I erased it, I know why it did not work but am not willing to share it at this time. However it's all in the tech brief. You guys are getting very close, trust me.
In my ign coil experiments I was able to charge the water, and even charge the containenr that the water was held in with a strong electrostatic charge.
Of course other things were figured out during these expirements but I am not willing to talk about them.
Like I said before, study the Tech Brief, it's simple, think simply as you study it...It's really pretty plain and easy stuff once you figure it out.
