Vertical Potential Equalization (VPE)

During the studies of ADRES several observations have been made including the following:

(1)  At least some of the ADRES matter may carry an electric charge and is capable of "climbing up" objects and penetrate porous media (such as the mattress foam).
(2)  The AP also experienced a perception of a form of turbulent matter circulating around the feet and sometimes legs both in the "sleeping station" as well as while standing or sitting at the Hampton, VA research site.
(3)  It was also observed that the skin surface coverage (upper body vs. lower body) influences the intensity of the ADRES effects experienced by the AP.

Based on the above observations it was concluded that the application of ADRES to the body includes electrical effects related to the conductivity of the skin where the human body could be viewed as a conductor with the terminals attached to the feet and legs by means of some sort of a distributed media heavier that air concentrated closer to the floor likely induced in or introduced into the apartment of the AP from the floor above where the ADRES administration personnel is assumed to operate.  It is further assumed that the "opposite electrical potential" is applied to the head of the AP by means of some systems installed a floor above by using the difference in elevation of the head vs. the feet.  Based on the AP's account it may also be possible that the matter felt to be circulated around the feet and legs could be "drawn up" along the body towards the head by some technical means deployed at the apartment located one floor above the AP's residence.

Based on the above conclusions it was assumed that by introducing alternative means to equalize the potential difference induced between the floor and the ceiling at the Hampton, VA research site where the AP resides it may be possible to reduce the severity of the ADRES effects experienced by the AP.  As such it was suggested that the use of highly conductive wires running from the floor to the ceiling and possibly electrically connected to the ventilation ducts built into the ceiling would result in some degree of potential equalization.  It was also speculated that such technique may provide the ADRES matter a way to "climb up" to the floor above towards the equipment assumed to be used to manipulate the ADRES matter.

Based on the above assumption the practical implementation depicted in Fig 1 below was carried out.  As can be seen, Fig. 1 shows the tip of a set of copper grounding conductive wires formed by stranding 4 wires and forming a hook structure attached to a wooden dowel with a painter's tape.  The conductive tip is to be carefully inserted into the ventilation duct without causing damage and affixed in such a manner for the conductive tip to have electrical contact with the vent duct.  It is not clear if electrical contact with the duct is necessary or the use of conductive wires spanning from the floor to the ceiling alone would suffice.  Care must be taken to ensure the hanging conductive wires are not exposed to any sources of electricity.

Fig. 2 shows an outlet air duct with the conductive wires attachment inserted into the air duct.  Fig. 3 the loose end of one of the conductive wires from the conductive wires attachment located on the floor.

Fig. 4 shows an outlet air vent in a bedroom with the conductive wires attachment inserted into the air duct.  Fig. 5 shows an outlet air vent in a bathroom with the conductive wires attachment inserted into the air duct. As can be seen the bathroom implementation has the conductive wires run along the ceiling before they are directed towards the floor.  In case there is any fear that the insertion of the conductive wires attachment into the duct could cause any damage to the air duct or apartment, it may be sufficient to run the wires along the ceiling without making an electrical connection with the air duct ventilation channels.  It is not clear if the electrical connection to the air ducts provides any benefit or if running the wires along the ceiling (as shown in Fig. 5) before they are hung towards the floor provides any benefit.

The research site in Hampton, VA where AP resides has 12 outlet HVAC air ducts and one suction duct.  One of the outlet air ducts is a larger outlet air duct, the rest of the 11 air ducts being standard small outlet air ducts.  Currently only 9 air ducts are being used excluding the suction duct, the larger outlet air duct, and 2 smaller outlet air ducts.

Currently there is no other way of telling if the implemented VPE approach leads to the reduction in ADRES intensity other than from the level of physical discomfort of the AP before and after this approach was implemented as well as from observations related to the inferred changes in activities of the assumed ADRES personnel residing one floor above the Hampton research site apartment (based on the way they walk, run, relocate heavy items or leave the apartment abruptly after changes in defensive setups implemented by the AP).  The AP believes that the VPE approach did result in some intensity reduction of the adverse effects perceived, there are however currently no technical means to confirm or disprove it.

The exact model of the copper wire used for VPE was not recorded at the beginning but it is believed to be a 500ft spool of uninsulated stranded SD bare copper grounding wire of gauge 18 by the "Southwire" company (Model# 55024745).
