Bench
8 published findings from the ongoing work — what has been established, calculated and observed at the bench, each traceable to the session that produced it.
0 of 8 findings have been tied to a device. The rest are grouped by the subsystem they were filed under, which is a broader claim: a note under Electrical Particle Generator has been said to be about the subsystem, not about any one of its four units.

Contact Glow Discharge Electrolysis (plasma electrolysis): at several hundred volts a stable light-emitting plasma sheath forms around an electrode immersed in electrolyte, and the products (H2 + H2O2...

The Faradaic-vs-emission dispute is empirically decidable, not rhetorical. Faradaic electrolysis fixes 2 electrons per H2 molecule: ~0.116 mL H2 per coulomb at STP (22,414 mL/mol ÷ 192,970 C/mol). Pro...

A Dielectric Barrier Discharge puts an insulator between the powered electrode and the discharge: DC electron transfer is blocked, charge stores capacitively on the barrier, and the AC/pulsed drive mo...

Heinz Raether (1940s) showed a Townsend avalanche cannot grow smoothly forever: at ~10⁸ electrons (α·d ≈ 18-20, Meek criterion) the avalanche head's own space-charge field rivals the applied field and...

Friedrich Paschen (1889) measured that spark breakdown voltage is a function of the PRODUCT p·d, not pressure or gap alone: V_b = B·p·d / ln[A·p·d / ln(1+1/γ)]. The curve is U-shaped: too little p·d a...

One field-accelerated electron ionizes a molecule, freeing a second; both repeat — exponential cascade N = e^(α·d), with α the first Townsend ionization coefficient (α/p = A·exp(−B·p/E), gas-specific...

Polarized water molecules align end-to-end across the gap as series micro-capacitors; equal series caps divide voltage evenly, so V per molecule = V_applied / N with N = gap/2.7Å. For my 1/16" (1.5875...
