Voltage pushes jumps and current infiltrates floods.
I used to love playing with plasma balls, the arc from the single strand conductor, that is a lot thicker than most stands in the wire we use, etchs out conductors, causes corrosion, oxdization, and builds nano partcles, all those nasties I mention all from a power pack lucky to delivers 12 watts. Virtual electrolysys in mid air. We are not talking about vaccume. Air, particles, works as an electrolyte at high voltages and there is only so much electrical pressure that an atom can take before it's usuall properties and behavior changes dramtically.
All electro chemistry, revolves around changing the energy level of one atom to take on a different signature. What they can do with fusion we can do everything with electricty. The saying there is more than one way to skin a cat is not untrue.
To make an atom behave as if it was another, just add or take power. Simple H O2 generater, by adding enegy to water, we can make make H and O2 stable appart and behave differently to its original form. By burning oxygen and and hydrogen you remove that energy and it returns back into water. Yeah Fukashima should of been an energy implosion, it looked more like weaponized uranium to me.
Material and environment has everything to do with voltage rating as well. I was just correcting the OP about his assumption thick strands are good for current.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-YwbgXpnkACheck this out. By errecting an ultra high energy electrical field around the iron bar with enough current to contain the moles, we can manipluate solid Iron with another direct energy field.. I guess what happens here is he turns the atomic bonding within the Iron to a semi non newtonic state with the static field, and with a little directed energy jiggles the atoms as to warp the Iron, mind you, with out much controll over the manipulation. Still it's a good start.
These experiments are old and done through a home power outlet.. Hutchison is just a hack hwo got his hands on some old military expermental equipment, he thinks he is on to some free energy thing. A wall outlet can indeed provide the energy to warp this Iron bar many different ways, you just need to look at it in perspectve.
Over a longer period, say a month or two, 10 watts could turn this iron block into dust, just by using ultra high voltages.
It is my belief this technology is much more advanced under the cloak of secrecy. Only one could imagine the implications.
