need someone to build a test unit

I want to build a small unit for testing purposes that would consist ofa three-foot metal antenna with a negative charge source. The antennawould be negatively charged at a constant rate by the source and theantenna would bleed electron charge to the air at a constant rate. Theantenna will actually loose charge in quanta, that is to say it willnot be at a flat rate but will be in measurable steps. This x-quantaor step action should be measurable if we place a frequency meteringsystem parallel or in line with the charging line that extends from thesource to the antenna. When the antenna looses charge by x-quanta thecharging source will replace that lost charge in steps of x-quanta.Charge seeks a state of equilibrium and the charging line will have thesame charge density as the antenna and will show a step-drop ofx-quanta in sequence with the antenna step-loss action.What I need and will pay for is a complete unit as outlined above. Nowthen does anyone have the expertise or knowledge to build such a unit?

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.

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.

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?
