The
Negistor & Negative Resistance - 04/07/00
by Marcelo Puhl
Some of the
relevant files deal with early germanium point contact transistors which had
negative resistance properties as pointed out by Tom Bearden.
True
negative resistance just means a "resistor" or other component that
outputs more energy than it inputs. Let's look at one attribute: In forward
time, a positive resistor is an element that diverges and scatters energy from
a flow of energy passing through it. At least that definition is good enough
for government work. The same unit, in negative time, would be gathering
"convergent" energy and outputting it as a coherent energy flow.
Just take a video tape of the forward time process, so to speak, and play it
in reverse to see this. So one way to produce a true negative resistor in
electrical circuitry, is to somehow produce a material or component that
causes a convergence (i.e., negative divergence) of the otherwise divergent
energy of a normal resistance, and outputs that reconverged energy in a
coherent energy flow or stream.
Well,
phase conjugation involves time reversal. In a time-reversed region, charges
behave oppositely to what they do in a time-forward region. Thus indeed
electrons run backwards -- IN A TIME-REVERSED REGION! If one thinks that is
"against nature," one just is inadvertently thinking that time in a
region can only run forward. Not so. The fiberous nature of the material also
adds to the credibility. Just examine the fiber fuse phenomenon, e.g. which
destroys a fiber optics cable by melting a little hole in the core surface
about every centimeter or so. Eerily, often after the cable has been damaged,
initiating the fiber fuse again in the opposite direction, will result in the
thing marching back down the cable, FILLING UP ALL THOSE HOLES AGAIN and
restoring the cable.
...negative
resistance indicates that the electrons in the system are flowing in a
direction opposite to that in which they normally flow. She stressed that the
mechanism behind the observation of negative resistance at the geometrically
complex interface between fiber layers is still unclear.
...When a
single atomic layer of graphite rolls up into a nanotube, the angle at which
the edges join can have a dramatic effect on the tube's electrical
conductivity.
...What is
remarkable about the discovery is how one small change in the structure of the
nanotube, can tremendously effect its electrical conductivity. For graphite,
each carbon atom links to three others, forming a HEXAGONAL LATTICE that
resembles a slice through an atomic-scale honeycomb. Because of the regularity
of this hexagonal structure, the edges of a sheet of graphite, rolled into a
cylinder can be made to match SEAMLESSLY at several angles.
...In the
February 19th, Nature, researchers Kenneth Showalter of West Virginia
University in Morgantown and Jichan Wang, found enhanced wave propagation
where addition of noise can BOOST A WEAK SIGNAL to detectable levels.
...a new
material in which fundamental laws of nature apparently will run in reverse.
...A
series of copper ring pairs, each of which looks like one locking washer set
inside another, exhibits a reversed version of the property called magnetic
permeability, which describes how the material responds to a magnetic field.
Instead of being a positive number as it is for most materials, the rings have
a negative magnetic permeability.
