Built by members: over 2,000 volts in the water of Chris Bake's cell

Built by members. Chris Bake's cell, the water on the positive side. A compact fluorescent bulb held to the surface, with no wires to the bulb, and the gas in the tube ionizes. The scope says why: over two thousand volts peak to peak in the water, up to 2.84 kV, through a 500x differential probe. Stan Meyer treated the water as the capacitor in the circuit, and wrote: "The established resonant frequency is, of course, independent of voltage amplitude." So Chris turns the amplitude up and down, and the ring holds its tune. Both clips are on Chris's YouTube channel.

About the voices. The narrator is NeuralStan, an AI voice the archive uses for its made films. Where you hear Stan Meyer, it is Stan: every word of his is cut from an original recording, and nothing he says was synthesised.
