need someone to build a test unit

antenna will actually loose charge in quanta, that is to say it will
not be at a flat rate but will be in measurable steps.

Sorry, you're too late. This was done by Millikan in 1909,
ninety-seven years ago, and he's already collected his Nobel Prize for
doing it.

An three-foot-long antenna isnt the way to go either-- several billion
billion quanta are going to leave it every second just due to thermal
noise.

...details as this site is full of people ...

This isn't a site. This is a USENET newsgroup.

It's not a site, it's not a chatroom, it's not myspace.com, it's not yahoo
groups, and it's _really_ not google groups - google just got a clever
idea to offer a backdoor into our newsgroup to scriptkiddies, more's the
pity.

Try some of these links, if you want to learn about USENET newsgroups:

Good Luck!

Because that is one of the parameters of the design.

Sounds like you're trying to build a relaxation oscillator where you
charge up the wire from a constant-current source until it "sparks"
into space, at which point the lost charge will be eventually
replaced with enough charge to cause the cycle to repeat. is that
what you want?

I did not refuse to provide details and would have if someone had
asked. I tried to make the posting short and list enough information
for someone to understand what I wanted if not what I intended to use
the unit for. I expected that if it was not sufficient someone would
ask for more details. No, they take it apart and say everything that
it is or isn't and call me an asshole with an attitude. I will be the
first to say I am not familiar with how this posting system works and I
am sorry that I am viewed as having an attitude but my name is Larry,
not asshole.

OK, Larry,not-asshole, let's start over.

1. What do you want to use the unit for?

2. How fast do you need the current source to be?
That is, how quickly do you need it to charge up the antenna
once it has dumped its quantum of charge into space?

3. What do you need the constant current to be?

My knowledge is very limited in some areas of physics but I am well
versed in the physics relative to the use and parameters of this unit.

---
Then you should have no trouble answering the questions I asked.

AAA, bottom posting is the convention most all of us have adopted
for use on these electronics newsgroups and involves, basically,
placing your reply to a post at the bottom of the post you're
replying to.

In-line posting is also acceptable (and, often, desirable) and
entails placing your reply immediately after the portion of the post
you wish to comment on.
