Here are some of the numbers culled from the patent #5,018,180 by Kenneth
Shoulders, section 31, column 67/68(no page number).  

input power:  1KV thru 1500 ohms = 667  (P = I^2 R)

output power:  2 Kv thru 200 ohms = 20,000 (P = I^2 R)

ratio of output to input:  20,000 / 667 = 30


input pulse width #1 = 5 ns
input pulse width #2 = 0.001 ns

output pulse width   = 16 ns

energy conversion factor with 5 ns input pulse:

	(16 / 5) * 30 =  96 times more output than input

(output width/input width) * ratio of output power to input power

energy conversion factor with 0.001 ns input pulse:

	(16 / 0.001) * 30 = 480,000 times more output than input!!!!!!


These numbers seem quite amazing.  I hope that they can be confirmed.

In column 69, Shoulders mentions that the "source of the energy appears
to be the zero point radiation of the vacuum continuum."

Would anyone care to comment on the numbers?
