The nine stages, which run to fifteen
Voltage Attenuation
Meyer's second law for the VIC: bring the voltage up in steps, a pulse train at sequencing amplitudes, and control gas by controlling voltage. He headed it "9 Stages to Voltage Attenuation" and kept going to fifteen, with two he never filled in. Each stage is in his words, with what the archive takes it to mean and where he explains it.
The heading says nine. The list numbers fifteen, two of them marked TBD in the copy the archive holds, and step 12 is the eleventh stage of Amp Restriction repeated word for word. It is given as he left it, gaps and all.
-
01
Conventional Power Supply
Conventional Power Supply - less than 1V - 110V DC (or equivalent rectified AC) — in Meyer's words
What it means
It starts from an ordinary supply, anywhere from under a volt to mains rectified. Everything that follows is how a modest input becomes tens of kilovolts across the water without the current that usually comes with them. -
02
Not stated
TBD - no mention (believed to be the Gate Frequency & Process) — in Meyer's words
What it means
Meyer left the second stage blank. Whoever transcribed the list believed it to be the gate frequency, the burst-and-gap pattern, and that fits the order; but it is a guess and is marked as one. -
03
Time-regulated pulse train
Pulse Train concentrated or "Time-regulated" variable pulse voltage frequency allowing for higher voltage amplitude — in Meyer's words
What it means
The pulses are packed into bursts with the timing controlled. A choke charged by a burst of pulses reaches a higher voltage than a single pulse would give, so regulating the train in time is how the amplitude is raised without raising the input. -
04
Resistive wire 430/FR in inductors
Resistive wire 430/FR in inductors — in Meyer's words
What it means
The same steel wire as in Amp Restriction, seen from the other side: with current held out by the wire's resistance, the voltage across the inductor can be allowed to climb. -
05
Formation and collapse of the choke fields
Repetitive Formation & Collapse of Oscillating Magnetic Fields (in Resonant Charging Chokes) allows duplicated Voltage Wave Form (9B) and forms Inductance Coupling (Allowing pulses through, but restricting amps) — in Meyer's words
What it means
Each pulse builds a magnetic field in the chokes and each gap lets it collapse. The collapse hands the pulse's voltage on, so the chokes reproduce the waveform at the cell while their inductance still resists current: the inductance coupling he names.(56) (62) (511) (512) Voltage to Amp Differential Ratio (WFC 429)
-
06
No arcing beyond the gap threshold
Preventing Electrical arcing beyond voltage gap thresholds — in Meyer's words
What it means
The voltage is raised only as far as the water gap will stand without breaking down. An arc is a current, and it would undo everything; the ceiling is the gap's own threshold. -
07
Sequential gate varied beyond attenuated voltage control
Sequential Gate is varied beyond attenuated voltage control — in Meyer's words
What it means
Once the voltage is regulated, the gate is the next knob: varying the sequence of bursts changes the rate of gas without changing the voltage the water sees. -
08
Frequency varied at the alternator
Frequency (Alternator) is varied — in Meyer's words
What it means
In the alternator-driven builds the pulse frequency comes from how fast the alternator turns, so varying its speed varies the frequency. -
09
Voltage pulse amplitude input varied
Varying of Voltage Pulse Amplitude Input — in Meyer's words
What it means
The last of the nine: the height of the pulse going in is itself a control, within the limit that step 12 sets. -
10
Repeated dual voltage pulse-train
Step 10: Repeated Dual Voltage Pulse-Train — in Meyer's words
What it means
Two trains of opposite polarity, one to each side of the cell, repeated: the dual voltage stimulation his later memos draw as pulses of plus and minus applied together across the gap. -
11
Duty pulse cycling
Step 11: Dual Voltage Pulse Train - Duty Pulse Cycling (Increase Pulses Per Second Per Attenuation) — in Meyer's words
What it means
More pulses per second at each amplitude step, so the water gets more strokes at every rung of the staircase before the next. -
12
Voltage amplitude adjusted no further once Compounding Action holds
Step 12: Voltage Amplitude is adjusted no further, to keep amp flow to a minimum, once Compounding Action is properly maintained. — in Meyer's words
What it means
The eleventh stage of Amp Restriction, word for word. Once the circuit is compounding, the input amplitude is left where it is; the two lists meet here. -
13
Not stated
Step 13: TBD — in Meyer's words
What it means
Blank in the copy the archive holds. Nothing is put in its place. -
14
Varying Gate Switch Circuit (58) on demand
Step 14: Varying Gate Switch Circuit (58) to control gas production on-demand — in Meyer's words
What it means
Gas on demand is a matter of the gate: the switch circuit numbered 58 opens and closes the bursts to give as much gas as the engine asks for at that moment. -
15
Switching excitors on and off on demand
Step 15: Sequentially switching OFF and ON additional Excitors to control gas production on-demand — in Meyer's words
What it means
The other way to meet demand: more or fewer electrode pairs in play, switched in sequence, with the voltage per pair unchanged. It is the ninth stage of Amp Restriction used as a throttle.
