STUDY OF A FLUORESCENT TUBE AS PLASMA ANTENNA

Abstract:
The present paper is a work on fluorescent tube performing the function of a monopole plasma antenna. In the construction, the needed power supply to the fluorescent tube is controlled by an IC 555 timer. In the experiments the supply frequency varies from 25 Hz to 200 Hz. By using a vector network analyzer it is shown that the persistence of plasma developed inside the tube persists for longer duration with increase in supply frequency. It is also found that the stability of resonant frequency increases with the increase in frequency of the AC power supply measured up to 200 Hz. Result shows that the effective part of a fluorescent tube functioning as Monopole plasma antenna is about 60% of the total length of the tube.

If this experiment would be scaled up to planetary scale, can the ionosphere be regarded as a giant plasma antenna?

Very interesting litle article
Can A Satellite Read Your Thoughts? - Plasma Antennas And The Binding Problem
From the article:

"What should become obvious at this point is that our understanding of neural activity is completely wrong. The synaptic firings that we can see are not information transfers, they are merely to drive the plasma antennas located on the axons.

Resonances (or beat frequencies) within neuronal clusters effectively tune the axon plasma antennas to their operating frequency. The plasma density around the neuron sets the plasma frequency. Rather than the input of the neural networks coming from the synapses, the inputs come in the form of near-field signals created by other neurons. More accurately, it is a form of near-field communication."

Very interesting little article reka. Now we just throw in some nonlinear quantum plasma physics,
and it all makes sense! From that primordial chemical soup arises a quantum supercomputer, isn't anti-entropy wonderful?
