ORIGINS
!6 6
The model is not without precedent. Some of the most
illustrious explorers in the history of the sciences have
long proposed that electricity plays a much more
important role in the heavens than has been
acknowledged – Benjamin Franklin, Michael Faraday,
James Clerk Maxwell, Sir William Crookes, Kristian
Birkeland, Nicola Tesla, Irving Langmuir, Hannes
Alfvén, to name only a few.

Childs conducted a preliminary evaluation to
determine if the ES model might be testable. He
employed the powerful Design of Experiments
(DOE) methodology. DOE are used throughout
industry to illuminate even the most obscure factors
responsible for the outcome of a process. That’s
how an auto manufacturer can make 120 million
brake sets a year without a single failure.

Exploring the work of William Crookes,
Childs was struck by one of Crooke’s famous
experiments. Crookes placed rubies in a
vacuum tube filled with an electrically charged
rarified gas. Although the rubies were not part
of the electrical circuit they mysteriously
started to glow.
!11
When he proposed the model might be empirically
tested in a laboratory, Childs was invited to present
his ideas at conferences exploring the role of
electricity in nature.

Funding for an initial test was promised by the
Mainwaring Archive Foundation, to be administered
by the International Science Foundation. Scientists
with backgrounds in plasma physics, astrophysics,
electrical engineering, and chemistry joined as a core
team.
!13
The standard scientific technique for
testing a model is to use the premise of
the model to construct an apparatus that
can challenge the model’s predictions and
provide evidence that will disprove or
falsify the model. Or provide evidence
that supports the claims.

THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM
But right from the start there was
an elephant in the room.

The prediction was that this rather simple combination
of a positively charged anode in a negatively charged
environment would produce a spherical plasma around
the anode. And, it did just that.

The first evidence of plasma phenomena
were small, round tufts appearing on the
surface of the anode. The tufts were in
constant motion as they sought to maintain an
equal distance from one another. Their
numbers multiplied as the electric current
supplied to the anode increased. When new
tufts materialized in an empty space on the
anode all the tufts jostled for an equidistant
position from each other.

The discovery was made that the plasma double layer
shells were self-organizing; and worked as high-
energy containment fields for the dense plasma within.

The trapping prevents the ions from flying out and
smashing up against the cathodes and the steel walls
of the chamber. It keeps the high energies contained
within the plasma, energies that would otherwise
destroy the apparatus.

The energy densities being produced by these experiments
are far greater than predicted. Energies of this magnitude
are found in two other places – the Sun’s photosphere …

SUMMARY
In summary the SAFIRE experiment is capable of:
• Creation of exothermic plasma reactions – the key to unlocking the reactions that cause
powerful electromagnetic spherical plasma double layer shells to form.
• Accelerating ions through the spherical plasma double layers to ballistic velocities.
• Materials testing.
• Optical Spectroscopy.
• Infrared measurements.
• Polarimetry.
