[NewCandle] Brown/Hutchison batteries

[Kyle R. Mcallister]

Nick, Keith, et al.,

Interesting about Hutchison. I'll go back over the stuff he's done, and 
see what I can find.

Shamanic science. Interesting concept, and not altogether unattractive. 
I too like the best of both worlds approach to things.

Brown did tend to use high mass dielectrics, yes. But what I was getting 
at was the parallel between Hutchison's batteries, and Brown's 
batteries. I do remember reading someplace, or watching a video of 
Hutchison with these devices, where Rochelle salt (potassium sodium 
tartrate) was mentioned as being an ingredient.

The similarity of the two batteries, the fact that Rochelle salt and 
barium titanate are ferroelectric, made me make a sort of mental 
connection between the two. I could be grasping at straws however, but 
I'm having fun and not costing the taxpayers any money. :)

It does help also to cement my image as Wheatfield, NY's certifiable 
Herr Doktor.

Do have Rochelle salt now. Made from McCormick Cream of Tartar and Arm & 
Hammer Super Washing Soda. My wife liked the bubbles effervescing from 
the potassium bitartrate suspension as the sodium carbonate was 
gradually added. Heated the resulting clear fluid until it was thick, 
then let it sit in a warm place. Go to sleep, get up, go to work, come 
home. Crystals!

I will try to do a better write up of what I'm attempting.
