Hello! The registration form finally works! 🙂 Chris, I had actually left a message about that on your second to most recent video. I also tried the site's contact form and the email address for the wise donations, both sent back MAILER-DAEMON, undeliverable. I hope that is all sorted, and sorry for being spammy.
My name is Marcel. I grew up in California USA, spent about 5 years in the US Marines which landed me in Finland, and have been here now for about 16 years. My education was in embedded electronics, however, most of my career has been I.T. security and software testing.
I was into energy research a bit over 10 years ago, mostly at energeticforum. Spent some time messing with Eric Dollard's Crystal Radio Initiative. I never did light up a light bulb from a local AM station, but I was successful at getting a bit of action over 80 meters with my Tesla coil style antenna, which I had floating on a nearby lake. I also managed to achieve a bit of energy transmission over my house heater radiator system, from my basement to the second floor. I re-uploaded a few old videos about that. Nothing above unity, but the study of the longitudinal waves was really interesting. My channel. https://www.youtube.com/@FringeIdeas
Anyway, I had gone through a nasty divorce and quit research. Recently I started watching videos again, out of the need of a hobby. It's unbelievable how much trash is on YouTube now. But I was lucky enough to come across a few Don Smith videos which grabbed my attention. These led me to the aboveunity YouTube channel, which then led me to the aboveunity forum. So for 3 weeks or so I've been going over as much material as I can, and I'm quite excited to finally see and understand an application of asymmetry.
I'm going through the builders guide currently. It will take me another week or two to complete savings and purchase a function generator and scope. But when I get my gear in place I'll start with the intro experiments, MrPreva experiment, etc. and go from there. A huge thank you to Chris and everyone who has contributed and worked so hard. This forum, plus the information on the YouTube channel, is quite an amazing collection of work and research. I really hope once I get up to speed I can help contribute.
Thank you again, and nice to meet everyone!
Marcel
