Electrostatics of Ancient Temples

Ask - how? Find out about this below. What for? Most likely for the purpose of recovery. And it is possible that for the purpose of illumination (from the word light, without religious meanings). Maybe that's why the words sanctified and illuminated are so consonant?

In a series of articles THE USE OF ATMOSPHERIC ELECTRICITY IN THE PASTa version was shown that earlier all the temples were powerful collectors, accumulators (and maybe translators in some form) of atmospheric static electricity. What for? Most likely for the purpose of recovery. And it is possible that for the purpose of illumination (from the word light, without religious meanings). Maybe that's why the words sanctified and illuminated are so consonant? So, let's see:

This is what happened to a guy's hair if the body builds up a charge.

As soon as the body receives a charge, the hairs on the head stand on end. And everyone knows perfectly well that all women, girls, girls should be in Orthodox churches with their heads covered:

Maybe this is a cargo cult, from the times when temples were working or were working for real? Safety precautions. Is the hair long, so as not to get tangled, not to get caught by them when you are in the electrostatic field of the temple? Say that men used to have long hair and beards. I don't think it has always been. Look at antique images (frescoes, tableware). Neatly cropped men, perhaps even shaved (or did they not grow a beard?). The clergy explain this custom of covering the head of the female sex as follows: the custom originated from the words of the Apostle Paul, he said that a woman should have a symbol on her head that signifies her obedience and her husband's power over her. Praying or kissing shrines with your head uncovered is considered shameful. A headscarf on a woman's head emphasizes modesty and humility, and communication with God becomes purer and brighter. A purely symbolic explanation, like many traditions in religions. But in no case do I want to offend the feelings of believers. Pure analytics, nothing superfluous. Those who watched the video to the end probably noticed what kind of euphoria the guy was infected with. Maybe it was this static electricity that affected his psyche? Has it lifted your spirits, added strength? Although, it is not excluded that there is simply a frank children's interest in the experience.

Corona discharge from the finger. The video shows how the guy puts out the candles, pointing his finger towards the lovers. Perhaps that is why pointing the finger is still considered bad form?

As Zeus the Thunderer Ask, if we admit the fact of collecting atmospheric static electricity, then through what could statics be charged in temples? Here's through these hanging elements from the dome:

Let me remind you that a link to a patent explaining how electrostatics can be assembled in a building similar to an Orthodox church is in the title of the post. The effect is based on triboeletricity - the generation of static stress during friction. In our case - the friction of air in the wind against the dome of the temple.

Scheme from the patent. And a brief description: Dome-shaped triboelements, located vertically and connected to a cruciform antenna, allow, with a minimum volume, to create a maximum surface for triboelectrization by various atmospheric factors, similar to the electrification of aircraft bodies. The result is a potential difference between the upper electrically charged needle electrode and the lower electrode. During snowstorms, rain, thunderstorms, this process (accumulation of electric charges) is significantly enhanced by the use of the developed surface of the domes. The increase in voltage between the electrodes also depends on the rise height of the upper electrode (with antenna and domed triboelements), since the Ez vertical component of the Earth's electric field is up to 200 V / m from the Earth's surface, increasing during the period of disturbances (rain, blizzard, thunderstorm). The needle makes it possible to maximally concentrate the field strength for the breakdown of the discharge gap.

Inside one of the temples in Cairo, sometime between 1848 and 1852.

The voltage, probably, was not hundreds of thousands of volts as in the video, but it was quite possible to get a good charge. For safety reasons, so as not to get a lethal charge, they made metal floors:

Grounding. An example of a temple floor made of metal slabs. This is a huge cost for those times! So it made sense!

Iron floor in St. Basil's Cathedral.

They also told me once about the old temple in the city of Yeniseisk, where there was an iron floor. Unfortunately, there is no information about the temple. Do not believe that all this was possible (or maybe it works now, but something was removed …)? Here are researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology claiming that they have built a prototype of a simple device that converts start-stop motion into energy:

Conversion of friction energy into triboelectricity.

I have not seen enough specific information and scientific works that would study the issue of the effect of static electricity on the human body. There were only superficial texts with groundless phobias, such as: prolonged exposure to static electricity primarily leads to disturbances in the nervous system. The person becomes irritable, nervous, prone to conflicts. Headaches, insomnia, general fatigue and depression are more common. By the way, remember the tradition in Judaism to hang a mezuzah at the entrance?

Now it is a cult, and earlier, this thing could work all on the same triboelectricity effect (vibrations, wind create micro-friction and an electrical signal). Here is a state-of-the-art detection product on this effect:

These are the electrical technologies of the past.
