Permittivity (eps_0) and Permeability (mu_0) Constants of Vacuum
represent fundamental characteristics or fundamental properties of the
physical space or vacuum. For detailed presentation of this notion,

Good page! :-)

It. should be required reading for someone in the market
for more than just a few cubic metres of 377 ohm
'free space'.

Henri Wilson is selling some space at 0 ohms and
infinity that doesn't reflect. Marvelous stuff! . ;-)

I am not placing an order for any 'till it is appropriately
discounted for all the ohms the manufacturer leaves out.

But how much 'space' does a person really need?
Does it depend on one's real 'potential'?
Or does it depend on what 'signal' one wants to convey?

This is a social issue, and set by society.
For example small scale murders, like the one who killed a film maker
in my country, are put is a mall enclosed space (or cell) with 24/7 video
observation, while the big scale murderers, like for example GWBush, are put
in a big space (White House) with 24/7 video coverage.

One could then say that the permittivity depends on the current local
consensus.

This also goes for the 'signal' (bomb Iran versus bomb US).

Just a few miles make all the difference.

No they don't. In modern physics they are merely units conversion
factors which can be set to 1 by an appropriate choice of units.
Actually permeability is often set to 1/4pi....

Why do you say that Andre? To denominate eps0 in terms of c^-2 , I
have in Eq. 5-35 of my book
eps0 = e^2/Lmc^2 = 8.8e-12 Farad/meter
where L is the electron-positron cell size 3.54e-14m
which comes down to
e^2/eps0*L = mc^2.
Is that of any use?

André and I had a big discussion about this recently. Guess you missed
it. Basically André is creating a new unit system based on SI that is
somewhat interesting.

L = e^2/(eps0 mc^2)

alpha = e^2/(4pi eps0 hbar c)

So your L is 2*alpha*lambda_C, lambda_C being electron compton
wavelength. I think it is too small for "our world" and too big for
Uspace. Your mistake is in using e^2 instead of 4pi*eps0*hbar*c,
quantum "vacuum" charge. L should just be,

L = hbar/m_e*c = lambda_C/2pi

for the cell size wrt our spacetime.

This is simply an alternate definition of eps_0. The corresponding
mu_0 is = 4 pi 10^-7. From Stratton. I also saw it used in various
other refs, Resnick and Halliday for example.

Well, in my model, your L2 = alpha lambda_C
and is what I named the integrated electron Compton wavelength
(your equation 4-5)
because it turns out to be the lower limit of integration of the
energy of a localized electron (from infinity down to r=r_e.

So, your L is twice that wavelength L = 2 L2

In my model, there is no need anymore for eps_0 nor mu_0.

When combined in a certain manner with the integrated wavelength,
they integrate to provide a transverse integrated amplitude from
which the energy of the particle can be calculated from transverse
acceleration without exceeding the speed of light.

For the electron rest energy, for example,

m_e c^2 = E_e = (e^2 10^-7) c^2/((lambda_C alpha)/(2 pi)) (joules)

In my model, joules define as (C^2 m)/s^2

The old MKS system, I think, with charge measured in statcoulombs. In
that system, the force F (dynes) between two charges Q1 and Q2 at
distance r (cm) is F = Q1*Q2/r^2. Many of the EM books up to about the
mid 1950's used that system, but is has now passed out of fashion.

That would be the gaussian cgs system. Permittivity, not permeability,
is 1/4pi in that system. eps0 = 1/4pi in cgs. Heaviside-Lorentz units
does have eps0 = 1, however Coulomb's constant, k_e = 1/4pi so it is
basically the same thing.

If anyone really wants to understand
why the constants Permittivity (eps_0) and Permeability (mu_0) exist,
I suggest that they visit my web site,
and read the article "Uniting the four forces".

In a few graphic steps,
this article concisely and clearly shows
that the "C" and "Z" of space are arbitrary constants,

and that permittivity and permeability of space constants
follow naturally from the selection of the values for
the "C" and "Z" of space.

I might also mention that the
"C" and "Z" of on non-space for non-lossy media
are functions of the "index of refraction" for each media.

In other words,
the "C", "index of refraction", and "Z" for space
are set arbitrarily to 299,792,458 meters per second, one "1.00000",
and approximately 377 ohms,
and the "C", "index of refraction", and "Z" for other materials
follow directly from this.

The values for the permittivity and permeability of space
follow naturally from the selection of the values
for the "C" and "Z" of space.

The article also demonstrates that the constants
are basically expressions of the way forces are perceived, (By object size)
and shows how the constants for forces, other than the "big four",
can be determined.

In other words,
forces should be categorized by magnitude,
rather than lumped into categories based on size
such as strong, weak, E-M, gravitational, etc.,
and all these constants can be done away with.

The "forces concept" focuses on size:
particles (Small nuclear force),
nuclei (Strong nuclear force),
atoms (E-M force),
larger bodies (Gravitational force)

and ignores the fact that a continuum of force levels exist for each size,
and it isolates some sizes (The big four)
while lumping some sizes together.
(Molecules, planetary systems, galaxies, etc.)

The article develops a unique Physical Properties Chart
that shows the relationships between the physical properties
much as the Periodic Chart shows the relationships
between the elements.

In other words, you can use the chart
to verify the dimensions of existing equations,
and to come up with unique equations of your own.

And if you like Towers of Babel,
you can separate out other "forces" by size,
and find the required constants to rationalize them.

And who knows?
The article might help you
get a Nobel Prize for discovering the
"C", "index of refraction", and "Z" for molecules and galaxies.

Betting that homongenous spaces will radiate is usually
a pretty safe bet. So fixing some impedance/admittance
is a good way to stay out of a tail-chase about eps and mu.

377 ohms sounds good to me. If nothing reflects back to you
then you are matched to that one way or another

<< Note that in the far field, E and H are related by the
characteristic impedance of the medium (120 pi or 377

C - The "speed of light constant".
Zº - The impedance of space constant.

3. Defined by the selections of C and Zº.
?º = the permittivity of space constant = 1 / (C*Zº)
?º = the permeability of space constant = Zº / C

4. As can be seen in the article on my web site
"Uniting the four forces",
conventional theories couple the time domain properties
(Which are Nature's real properties.)
to the mass domain properties via two routes,
the "space domain" properties
and the "electro-magnetic domain" properties.

The constant "C" defines the space domain properties
and the constant "Z0" defines the E-M domain properties.

Nature considers C and Zº to be one "1.00000000000.." for space,
whereas man considers C to be 299,792,458 meters per second
and Zº to be about 377 ohms.

Time periods (Auto-correlations)
and time intervals (Cross-correlations)
are Natures real stuff.

The space domain properties came about
because man perceived time intervals distinct from space
and he needed a constant to bridge the gap.

The E-M domain properties came about
because man perceives time intervals distinct from capacitances
and he needs a constant to bridge the gap.

5. The z from cathode to anode is NOT zero.

It is your claim "values for the permittivity and permeability of space

of space", is it not?
Don't make claims you cannot support, Potter.


| 2. Arbitrary constants:

http://www.androcles01.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Sagnac/Sagnac.htm
Do you mean the red C or the blue C, Potter?

Never mind the value, define what you mean by "impedance
of nothing", Potter.

| 5. The z from cathode to anode is NOT zero.

You don't seem to know the difference between AC and DC, Potter.
The effective resistance, known as impedance, is found from
Ohms's law R = E/I, Potter, and for a capacitor is frequency dependent.
A DC circuit as in a TV tube has a frequency of zero, Potter.
It's a short circuit, Potter, not a 377 ohm resistor.

To be sure, the expression above was not used to compute L, merely on
expression among several, to accommodate Andre's c^-2.(JP)

>L = hbar/m_e*c = lambda_C/2pi
>
>for the cell size wrt our spacetime.

Your cell size is in real vacuum, but it's compressed by alpha in
pair-space. (Your mistake is that nothing can really happen in a
vacuum).

I forget how you derived your L, but here's how I derived mine, from
first principles, as usual. (Eq. 3-4 to 3-6 in my book or Eq. 5-7 on
my website Permittivity paper).

The capacity of the cube holding the pair is given by
C = L*eps0 (= eps0 * L^2/L)
A critical voltage Vc will pull both charges to the "walls"
and the resulting capacitive charge displaced is 2 e:
Vc*eps0*L = 2e
L = 2e/Vc*eps0
Vc is 1.022 MV defining the energy needed to free the two charges in
pair production. Each charge is dragged through Vc/2, total W = 1.022
MeV.

In my model, for any given localized electromagnetic particle,
(lambda alpha) /2 pi is the maximum transverse extent of to and fro
travel of its energy transversally to the direction of motion in
vacuum.

The general equation for a photon in my model is

E= hc/(2 lambda) + e^2/2C cos^2(wt) + Li^2/2 sin^2(wt)

C = capacitance of the particle
L = inductance
i = displacement current
hc/(2 lambda) = energy propelling the other half at c

No, in the "other" 3-brane it could be "compressed" by a factor of 10^20
order due to "warped geometry" between the two 3-branes. We can only
say what things are wrt our 3-brane. The other one is always beyond our
event horizon other than virtual pairs.

Unfortunately, it is not from "first principles" since you are only
considering e+e- virtual pairs.

How do you explain pion production from the vacuum? You are leaving out
a vast amount of other particles which when all combined happens to add
up to the sqrt(4pi*eps0*hbar*c) for "vacuum" charge. Not 2e. The
sqrt(alpha) is simply the ratio between electronic charge and the total
of "vacuum" charge.

As can be seen
"Sorcerer" uses several "logical fallacies" in his response to my post:
creating a strawman, childishly attacking the messenger
rather than addressing the message in a rational, intelligent way,
obfuscation, equivocation, etc.

But to address the points he did address:

1. "plate resistance" and "space charge" have a resistive component.
Note that the plates (And elements) of vacuum tubes do heat up,
and sometimes get red hot.
Capacitances and inductances DO NOT dissipate energy.

Vacuum tubes also have interelectrode capacitances,
and a tiny amount of inductance.

2. Note that "Sorcerer" calls space "nothing"
when it is clear that a "space" is proportional to a "time interval".

3. Regarding "Sorcerer's" statement:


"Don't make claims you cannot support, Potter."

It is pretty clear that the SPEED OF LIGHT IN A VACUUM CONSTANT "c",
is arbitrarily set to equate a "time interval"
(A time interval is the basic measure of a vacuum.)
to the distance between two points on some physical object
such as a King's body part.

And as can be seen,
if space is homogeneous and isotropic,
and the impedance of space Z0 is the same everywhere,
and in every direction,
then Z0 is an "IMPEDANCE OF A VACUUM CONSTANT".

And if space is homogeneous and isotropic,
and the permittivity of space e0 is the same everywhere,
and in every direction then e0 is a "PERMITTIVITY OF A VACUUM CONSTANT".

And if space is homogeneous and isotropic,
and the permeability of space mu0 is the same everywhere,
and in every direction then mu0 is a "PERMEABILITY OF A VACUUM CONSTANT".

The bottom lines are:

1. Space is a time interval.

2. The SPEED OF LIGHT IN A VACUUM CONSTANT "c"
is used to equate pure space (Time intervals)
to the SPACE between two points on a physical object.

length = time interval * c

3. The "PERMITTIVITY OF A VACUUM CONSTANT"
which is defined by the arbitrary constants
the SPEED OF LIGHT IN A VACUUM CONSTANT "c"
and the "IMPEDANCE OF A VACUUM CONSTANT",
is used to equate pure space
to the CAPACITANCE between two points on a physical object.

Note that the amount of "space" (Time interval) within a physical object
is almost always greater than a parallel sample of a vacuum.

In other words,
an event propagated through a vacuum space
generally has a shorter time interval
than an event propagated through a physical object
parallel to the vacuum space.

I suggest that "Sorcerer" or anyone who wants to comprehend
the real nature of space, the speed of light, impedance, etc.
should visit my web site, and read the short article


"Uniting the four forces",

as the article explains this in a few graphic steps,
far more clearly than can be done using ASCII characters
in a news group.

I don't know if you can justify the equation, because the first term
hc/(2 lambda) is 1/2h*f*137 where w = 2pi*f is the oscillation
frequency. It seems you have taken hnu and multiplied it by 137/2.
Also how would you derive the capacitance of the photon, when
capacitance is a lump parameter of coulombs per volt difference.

In my theory a photon would be a ripple running at light speed through
pair-space, (in which sqrt(Y/rho) = c, with Y = Youngs modulus & rho,
mass density).

The (still uncreated) pairs in pair-space are what gives it
permittivity eps0.

Presently, in my model, hc combines to be what I symbolized by
capital H, in fact, in my model, h is derived from H.

H = electromagnetic transverse acceleration constant.

H = lambda E = e^2/(2 eps0 alpha)

Derived from re-definition of energy from Marmet's paper.

It is the transverse amplitude based counterpart of time based
Planck's h constant. This is why it is used with the wavelength
instead of the frequency.

A pity you seemed to have missed the conversation Fred and I had
on all aspects of this.

> Also how would you derive the capacitance of the photon, when

Same remark, I discussed all of this with Freddyfizzx some time ago.

Summarily, for any photon, in my model,

C = eps_0 2 lambda alpha

L = (mu_0 lambda alpha)/(8 pi^2)

i = sqrt(E/L)

where E is the photon's total energy.

> In my theory a photon would be a ripple running at light speed through

In my model, a photon is a localized quantum of energy amounting to
half the photon's energy LC oscillating between electrostatic and
magnetostatic spaces at the photon's frequency, while being propelled
in normal space by the other half of its total complement of energy.

As mentionned, in the most detailed equation set (transverse
acceleration based), eps0 and mu0 are not required anymore.

Bullshit.
You are merely replacing 'distance' by the time it would take for light to
travel from A to B if it moved at c.

Absolute spatial intervals are defined by rigid rods. They can be taken
anywhere, anyhow and will maintain their original definition of the interval.

How do you measure it without disturbing what you are trying to measure?

You cannot.

How do you know that differently moviung observers will get the same answer at
the same point in space?

You don't...

It has the value of zero in completely empty space.

It also has the value of zero in completely empty space.

Space is NOT empty if an electric or magnetic field permeates it.

"c", the "speed of light constant" is just that, a constant.
It is not a speed.

As I pointed out,
when you use the same clock ticks
to quantize the time interval between a cause and an effect,
and the time period between the same cause and effect,
you will always come up with the same number,
no matter when and where you quantize it.

All this "same number" does is relate
time periods to time intervals.

You can set "c" to ANY number you like,
and all that it does is express distances in
some other unit.

I might point out that the physical constants
c, G, permittivity of space, permeability of space,
and the impedance of space are just that, constants,
and that these constants apply to a certain set of conditions,
namely so-called space, which I called a VACUUM
in order to make the point that other bodies were not involved,
other than the bodies associated with some measured caused,
and its' related measured effect.

Regarding "Sorcerer's" statement:


"You don't know the difference between a yardstick and a clock, Potter."

I might point out that Einstein's "rigid rods" and "Sorcerer's" "yardsticks"
are nasty temperature sensitive, pressure sensitive, contamination
sensitive,
bending sensitive, acceleration sensitive beasts,
and that precision clocks can measure distances and lengths
far, far, far more accurately and reliabilbly that his "yardsticks",
or Einstein's "rigid rods".

"Sorcerer's" main arguments seem to be:
"Potter is a lunatic"
"Potter is a babblemouth"


"Perhaps you are another crackpot aetherialist."

"You wouldn't know a capacitor if it leapt off your motherboard and bit you,

"Go away, you are a hopeless boor."

that in a completely empty universe,

In a completely empty universe,

Total and utterly bulshit.
A normal CRT (color) has 3 electron guns, with each about .5 mA (500 ua)
max current (normal operation), so a total of 1.5mA electron current to the
high voltage connection from the cathode*S*.
The high voltage is 25kV, so the impedance seen would be 25000 / .0015 =
16 666 666 Ohm, or 16 MOhm. (mega ohm).

As the electron beam is constantly modulated by the luminance, or in case of
color the RGB signals, the curent varies constantly.
So it makes no sense / has no practical use to speak of an impedance.
[The] Electronics is only concerned with keeping the high voltage stable
as the laod varies.
A changing high voltage would give a changing picture size for the same
deflection power (magnetic field).
Feedback circuits are used for stabilization.
In the very very old tube color sets, a parallel stabilizer tube was used
(PD100), it had a lot of roentgen radiation too...

Not going to read the rest.

WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Man human species, how did it ever get this far.

Thanks to "Jan Panteltje" for supporting my position that:


"The z from cathode to anode is NOT zero."

and that tubes have "plate resistance".

But regarding "Jan Panteltje's" comment:


"So it makes no sense / has no practical use to speak of an impedance.
[The] Electronics is only concerned with keeping the high voltage stable
as the laod varies."

If the load varies, and the voltage stays constant,
the impedance varies.

impedance = voltage / current

Regarding "Jan Panteltje's" comment:
"how did it <Mankind> ever get this far.


OK it took some millions of years."

A better measure might be necessity
and man-years, rather than years.

For the first million years,
there weren't that many people around,
and of course, technology builds on technology.

It was not possible to make GPS and cellular phone systems
for almost fifty years after the German/American actress Hedy Lamar
invented spread spectrum modulation,

and after Edison invented the diode,
DeForrest stuck in a control grid and invented the triode,
then someone found that the cats whisker crystal was a diode
and the Bell Labs gang stuck a "control grid" in the crystal
and made the point contact transistor,
and then Texas Instruments and Fairchild
learned how to deposit "control grids" on crystals to form field effect
transistors
and added many active and inactive components to form integrated circuits
and then Intel put reprogrammable logic "integrated circuits" on a crystal
to make the microprocessor, etc.

Of course, the great advances in the next few years
will be in energy conservation, information systems mashups,
human engineered, graphics/sound software,
mobile access to and from data bases,
DNA technology for health, plant and animal engineering,
history construction, crime prevention, etc.

It's a shame to waste time, money, and minds
speculating about time travel, worm holes, gravitons, etc.
when the time and money could be better spent elsewhere.

As "Jan Panteltje" said:
"maybe there is still hope."

A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

You've never heard of superconductors, Potter?
It's cold on the Moon and I wouldn't a need a glass tube
to paint a picture, either. I can design a TV for a lunar environment
without the tube, and I'm not talking about plasma or LCD display.
The tube fullfills three functions, one is to keep air out and the other
two are to provide a fixed distance between cathode, anode, field and
frame coils.
I can use glass rods for the latter and I don't need to consider the
first. Electrons go right through a vacuum as if it were not there,
which it isn't.

I havent followed all this but I believe you all started with an
argument about the Z of space.
Z = 377 ohms means in a far field radio signal you can calculate the H
field from the E field by
H = E/Z or volts/meter divided by ohms = amp turns/meter = H
It is a very real parameter and has nothing to do with resistive or
cathode ray ohms!

Yep, and i still learned about triodes with low Ri and penthodes

Yes you are right, but the man was relating to CRTs, and CRTs is what
I played a lot with, designed my first TV in 1968.
I have would those deflection coils, and transformers, all good old times,
people should know about electrostatic and magnetic deflection [of electron
beams = charged particles] hands on makes all the difference.
Design issues are quite tight for a TV CRT actually, you are limited by
what the HV rectifier / multiplier can do as current, the CRT characteristics,
and those are pretty much a known.. so that leaves only to be able to
create the 25kV and supply the current, and make that 25kV stable (and
filtering).
You have E background, so do I, many here do not and just RelaTitvit along...
;-)
E designers almost never enter stupid fights like we see here, learn
from the others designs, make things that ***have to**** work.

Nobody buys a TV that only shows 2 light dots, but look how they are selling
strings, LIGO, ITER, and all those other things you mentioned.

Facetiousness will not win you any brownie points, Potter, but there
is truth in what you say. The wires and all kinds of stuff are mostly
empty space, the electrons do not go through the nuclei of atoms,
they go around them through the nothing.

|

Assertion carries no weight. The burden of proof is upon the
claimant.
The point of contention isn't plate resistance which can be eliminated
in practice by using a superconductor and in theory by ignoring it as
irrelevant, it is the alleged permittivity and permeability of nothing.
What is the velocity of sound in a vacuum, Potter?
Is it zero, infinity or something in between?
What is the volume of a gas at zero degrees Kelvin?
They are meaningless questions, of course. One can extrapolate,
playing mathematical games, but there is no sound in a vacuum and
there are no gases at zero Kelvin.
Electrical impedance and/or resistance is limitation to current for a
given pressure, resistance being analogous to a pinhole drilled in a
cylindrical mug to limit the flow of coffee leaking onto the table.
By enlarging the hole, the flow is increased. Enlarge it enough and there
is no mug. The entire volume of coffee then falls under the influence
of gravity, independently of the resistance of the mug.
Coffee mugs provide infinite resistance to the flow of coffee
onto your clean shirt, drill the hole and you'll need to launder your
shirt or go without coffee.
Impedance is the equivalent of tilting the mug to drink the coffee,
and is zero when the mug is upside down. The hole at the top
of the mug offers no resistance.
It may be somewhat unpleasant and tasteless to consider spitting the
coffee back into the mug to repeat the cycle, but it can be done in
small quantities. <sputter>

Likewise, the vacuum of space offers no resistance to the flow of
photons or any other projectile, be it electron, bullet, spacecraft, planet
or star.
The photon is a single cycle of finite energy, represented by the green
radial vector in this gif:
http://www.androcles01.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/AC/AC.gif
No current passes through the plates of the capacitor.

The velocity of light in independent of the motion of the nothing, Einstein
was a muggle, for it is very much dependent upon the motion of the source.
That the source happens to have little motion compared to the motion of
the photon is irrelevant.

There is no longer any aether, hasn't been since the great sorcerer
Michelson
canned it, and although it once had the properties of mu0 and eps0, those
properties are now in the trashcan along with the aether that owned
them.

You can assert all you want to, Potter, wishful thinking isn't magic.

BTW, my last graduate was a Potter -- Harry Potter. I wonder if you will
do as well as he...
Alas, wizards are hard to find, but you may show promise if you'll
learn real magic before you try to write you own spells. The Wizard
of Menlo Park was not a sorcerer, I hasten to add, and neither was
the Wizard of Oz. It takes work for a wizard to graduate to sorcerer,
impossible for a muggle.

Of course we don't, and there should be no fight between us, Jan.
Incidentally, the EHT of 25 kV is derived from the line-output transformer
to make use of the voltage pulse during flyback when the energy is recovered
from the deflection coils, it is a simple matter of efficient design. The
almost
vertical pulse of the triangular waveform is ideal. The alternative is a
specially
designed EHT power supply (which do exist commerically, in particular for

Glad to hear it.
100 years ago energy was called "work", which is why the W appears

Whether a cannonball uses 'energy' to knock down castle walls,
whether it 'acts' upon them or whether it does 'work' upon them,
it all the same to me. Crystalline dried piss (oops, urine, same thing,
one should always call a spade a shovel for some unknown reason)
makes saltpetre -- saltpetre, coal and brimstone (or sulfer if you are
Americano) makes gunpowder -- gunpowder makes cannonballs work.

The original energy/work/action came from the sun.

Lift a cannonball onto the table, it rolls off, exchanging potential energy
for kinetic energy, does work and breaks your big toe.
You did it to yourself with solar 'action' stored in the food you eat.

I'll not argue semantics with you, it is pointless, but I'd suggest
potential energy (called energy) is what the gunpowder has, action
is what the cannonball in flight has and work is what it does when
it stops. Driving a nail is 'work', it requires 'energy' to make the
hammer 'act', it is constructive to the roof and destructive to the tree.

I will not accept that nothing has properties. Any you may think is has
are of your imagination, not mine.

That's incorrect. The values they have are accidents of the choice of
units.
With a suitable choice of units, those values become either 1 or some
multiple of pi that comes from geometric convenience. There is nothing
in those values that would suggest that the vacuum is a physical medium
for anything.

Remember that in suitable unit system, the speed of light is 1 and
dimensionless.

Actually not really an accident. More like "required" by the choice of
units.

Can you define "geometric convenience" for us? I wonder what might be
producing these "geometries". ;-) If we set eps0 to 1 we get something
that resembles Heaviside-Lorentz units. However with eps0 = 1, then
Coulomb's constant becomes 1/4pi. So we still have a "geometrical"
factor to deal with. Doesn't seem to be any way of getting rid of them.

Our Quantum Vacuum Charge concept smooths this all out (the geometrical
aspects) but does require a relativistic medium of an unusual nature.
It really is debatable as to whether or not the detection of a photon
can be considered to be detection of this medium. It is purely an
interpretational issue.

It was verbatim from your posting.
So either you were mentally absent when you quoted that >>> part, and

In the first case nothing goes, in the second case, that you were by your
senses and did know what you were doing, and that >>>>>> refers to OTHER
postings, you cannot complain if you are quoted referring to _such other

I went to google groups and entered:
'Henry Wilson sue'.

You seem to like to sue people, specially poor Androcles, who may not know
everything about everything, but I am sure neither do you or I.

So in that light, after checking with my legal team, it is considered
a possibility that you sue people for a living.
Like that lady that was hit so badly by cars hundreds of times, and got
big time money from all the drivers that never even saw her.

This is a mis-use of the legal system, in some places perhaps even punishable
by torture.
Will give you 10 years in the slammer.
One could then collect all victims, and look for some millions compensation
for sustained emotional damages, so it would be a work camp.
That is not all, I could have you extradited likely, but as I think you are

I am gone leave you there, as I just did read a federal agent was shot by

This is he start of your posting:

Indeed

Total and utterly bulshit.
A normal CRT (color) has 3 electron guns, with each about .5 mA (500 ua)
max current (normal operation), so a total of 1.5mA electron current to the
high voltage connection from the cathode*S*.
The high voltage is 25kV, so the impedance seen would be 25000 / .0015 =
16 666 666 Ohm, or 16 MOhm. (mega ohm).

etc.

Yes. Androcles owes me several bottles of wine.
I have never threatened to sue anyone else.

But OK, I have decided not to sue this time because you are not really a
diehard member of the SRian baboon brigade.
