A little more about that "EG Speaker project". I will explain in what I hope to be simply put for those who do not have a technical background, those that do will know what I am talking about, those that don't...I hope you will get it.
Sound is a longitudinal (travels in parallel to the medium) or compression wave. Sound was described as coming from the "fan loudspeaker" at Decker's. We have no way of verifying that other than to take Linda at her word. No papers, nothing in Brown's notebooks, no records from Deckers, an absolute dearth of information. However, Andrew Bolland had converted an ionic breeze to a loudspeaker, although he said that it was not too efficient, it did function as a rudimentary speaker. He felt that it was better suited for being a fan than a loudspeaker but there were possibilities.
A mechanical fan that we use to move volumes of air compresses the air in one direction and what we hear are the spaces in between the fan blades as they rotate, thus a slow rotating fan is transmitting short bursts of compressed air. Speed the fan up and the compression is coming faster and we hear it as such. If we could change the speed of the rotating fan at a period of .0166 we would hear a 60 hertz signal in the compression wave but then, we cannot make the fan start and stop or alter its rpm that fast. The conclusion is that a mechanical fan would make a very poor speaker.
The "Decker fan" is a bit different. It is based upon the principle of "ElectroHydroDynamics".
"Electrokinesis was first observed by Reuss in 1809 and has been studied extensively since the 19th century.[citation needed] The effect was also noticed and publicized in the 1920s by Thomas Townsend Brown which he called the Biefeld–Brown effect, although he seems to have miss-identified it as an electric field acting on gravity"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ElectrohydrodynamicsA lifter could be made into a speaker. Make multiple rows of corona wires and the skirt, place the apparatus perpendicular to the floor/ground. Energize the unit with High Voltage and air will move. Modulate the High Voltage with an audio tone
* and it will cause compression waves to be formed in the direction of the air movement. This is a rudimentary description of the Decker fan. The rub is that this is a capacitor that uses the air as a dielectric. The air will have ions as it is emitted from the speaker this is ozone. This process can be described as an electrophoretic device or electrokinesis in that electricity is causing a kinetic (energy in motion) response. This is not EG. This is not Biefeld-Brown.
The only conclusion I can come to is one of two things:
1. That there is some technology being done on the Resolute that no one publicly is aware of or;
2. Someone has done a misnomer. I would put this upon Linda in that she has on other occasions called the fan an example of the Biefeld-Brown effect which is not.
Now, is this post on topic? Perhaps, for I see a form of "bullying" taking place. Is it cyberbullying? Well, the Internet is being used so in my definition it is and I merely wish to point out the foundation of how it may be occurring and the manner thereof.
I could be totally wrong in my definition etc of how it is bullying but you know what? It is how I see it.

* The method to achieve this is in Brown's notebooks. Don't remember which volume.
