Barker experiment: 40KV causes alpha emitter to (slowly) lose its radioactivity
This paper describes a method for treating a small radioactive mineral sample so as to make it lose its radioactivity. Mainstream science would predict that such a thing is not possible, since it involves changing the half life of radioactive atoms, and the half-life is thought to be inalterable. This paper is for your information only. The process described involves dangerous high voltages and radioactive substances. It should only be performed by persons skilled in safe handling of both of these. - Bill B. _________________________________________________________________________ Electrostatic Excitation as decribed by William A Barker. Paraphrased by Braider to describe actual experimental proceedure conducted from Nov 20 1994 to present [Jan 20 1996] 1) a small mildly radioactive mineral specimen was used. It is described as a type of periclase and is possibly radium or strontium isotope substituted. Activity to hand held counter is described as similar to a pop corn popper. Fairly rapid counts but not extreme. 2) a Van de Graff generator was modified as follows: a) Belt was removed. b) 1/2 inch hole was cut in sphere, about half way up the side. hole was de burred. c) A small stage was built in the sphere out of wood and carboard so that the top of the platform, or stage, was even with the bottom of the hole in the side of the sphere. d) periclase sample has wrapped in plastic and cloth and struck with the obligatory open end wrench in the best style and conformance with Cavendish lab ethic. e) app. 2 mm by 2 mm by 0.7 mm "chip" was folded into small piece of 2 mil polyethylene film and secured with standard spring type wooden clothes pin. f) hand held counter was rigged with rubber band and nut to hold down the press to run spring loaded momentary contact switch so as to be able to run counted continuously. g) nine volt battery clip was used to connect the counter to bench supply and lead wired were run down Van de Graff tube with counter in sphere next to sample so as to get nice "popcorn" count. h) silicone rubber insulated high voltage wire was also run from contact point INSIDE of sphere, through the plastic tube that used to house the belt to the negative side of a 40 Kilo Volt Glassman rack mount high voltage power supply. The positive side of the supply was conveyed by silicone rubber insulated HV cable to a 2" sphere mounted on horizontal glass rod about 2" from hole on outside of sphere. i) sample is JUST INSIDE of the hole. j) no arcing occurs ... it is not supposed to .... just strong field gradient from inside sphere [zero volts] to outside sphere [40 KV].. over the space of the wall thickness of the sphere ... which is about 20 gauge spun aluminum. k) field was applied for 14 hours and then there WAS NO FURTHER APPLCATION OF FIELD ... ever ... at all. None. Just the 14 hours. l) counts are now down to about background level. This is posted to allow you to duplicate the work. Please read Barker's patent. This will make everything clear as to mechanical and electrical set up of experiment. The theory and math are in the patent too. This is NOT posted to start some long winded, or short winded huffing match .... or to argue. Do the experiment and THEN report results as you have recorded them. This take at least a year for reuslts to manifest ....so it is kind of like breeding cows. Suggestion: Have a mineral speciment known to have some type of alpha emission radio dated by a GOOD geo radio dating lab .... have them wark the sample ... photograph it ... saw it in half .... have it marked, dated and photographed again ... so that EVERYONE is very clear there can be no mistake. Expose to 50 KV for 12 to 14 hours. Wait one year. Have it dated again. This is a quick and easy thing to .... you could probably run up 10 or 20 if you wanted.
