I did not went through all the posts but I wish to share some informations that I managed to found while reading some pyramids patents on google
The one that caught my eyes is the patent 6974110:"Method and apparatus for converting electrostatic potential energy" from Peter Grandics.
His electric converter is a pyramids which convert electrostatic from the atmosphere to usable AC electricity.
In order to work correctly, he needs to put a load of 30KV on the top of the pyramids which simulate the earth strosphere, ionosphere.
He calculated that if we want to use it without an artificial load of 30 kv he had to raise a giant pyramid.
This is where he caught my attention.
I'm quoting him:" The earth's voltage field creates a potential difference of about 400,000 V (Feynman, R. P. Lectures on Physics(Addison Wesley,
Inc., Palo Alto, Calif., 1964) v.2, Chapter 9), with a voltage gradient of about 200-300V/m around the surface of Earth...."
"Given this voltage drop of 200-300 V/m, the desired 30 kV potential can be obtained at a dpyramid height of about 100-150m"
So I went through wikipedia to check the height of the Great Pyramid of Giza an it says:"Initially at 146,5 meters, thethe Gret Pyramid was the
tallest man made structure in the world..."
So, I went back to the patent and read: "A production pyramid with a projected 40,000 meters square base surface area, a height of 150 m, and a
metallic composition would provide a far more effective charge sink than the surronding ground surface. As current always flows in the direction of
least resistance, this would lead to a concentrated flow of current from the thunderclouds into the pyramid. As a result, a column of air above the
surface of the pyramid, would become highly ionized and much more conductive than the air in the surrounding area. Therefore, the current flowing
into the pyramid would likely be very strong...."
Well, according to wikipedia, each base side lenght is about 230.4 meters so the square base is 230.4x230.4=53084.16 meters square which is oversized
but who knows?
Here's the google patent link
and here's the wikipedia page
The patent is worth a look, though.
