Extra current

I see you follow the explanation given by Meyer. That is OK, everyone is free to believe in what you feel comfortable with. So without wanting to attack anyone, his explanation does not make any sense to me. But let's try to avoid endless discussions. You have given it considerable thought, I'm sure, and so have I. We are not going to convince eachother.
So.... my explanation why it could work is very different and does involve extra current, generated from cosmic rays.
Now I'm sure this sounds like the least probable explanation to all of you but after exploring Tesla's work for as long as I have and having seen what I have in my own experiments I am quite convinced that generating extra current out of "thin air" is possible. The key to doing so is a sawtooth waveform (slow rise, sharp drop), either on its own (DC as with lightning) or AM modulated on a HF carrier (AC as with the QCW).
If anyone can identify such a current in the TPU or the works of Hubbard, Hendershot and Moray, please show me.
For the reasoning behind that allow me to promote my booklet here again. Your buying it helps me out a bit and I'm sure will provide you with new insights in Tesla's work.

Ernst.
I have zero desire to convince anyone of anything. I'm simply shareing where extra current is coming from in the examples I provided. There are about 5 separate currents moving in a lead acid battery when it gets charged and most people are only aware of one.
I also do not follow or agree with Meyer's explanation on many things because as you said yourself, he contradicts himself. The Meyer sycophants can't stand hearing that but fortunately, I am not one of them. In concept, I get what he is saying, but again, there is a 100% failure rate in anyone accomplishing what he was supposed to have accomplished doing it the way he says he did it. I can run my jet engine on almost pure water vapor and I haven't even modified the fuel yet so what I see is that the majority of what Meyer claims is not even necessary. I believe there are plenty of red herrings in his work and some are more obvious than others.
Extra current can show up from outside of the medium being polarized, which is different than the examples I gave before. If there is a sharp enough gradient, it will polarize the aether and that polarized and condensed aether will move into one of the two reference points for a potential difference, will move towards ground and is extra electromotive force or Heaviside flow not provided by the circuit. That in turn generates more current to move in the opposite direction. This is the case with the plasma ignition for example where there is more current than can be accounted for from the capacitor that is discharged so is sourced from outside of the spark gap. It's from the ambient aether and not from comsic rays. This also does not dispute anything you are saying, nor does it try to convince you of anything. This is simply another example of more current showing up than is provided by the input source.
Anyway, looking forward to learning more of what you are talking about and I will buy a couple copies of your books for myself and others. If you can provide a picture and bio, I can share it again in my newsletter if you're interested.
Here is the same stairstep waveform with one of Bedini's energizers, which is like what you see in Meyer's diagram:
