Img.100 (K2) The general shape, design, and main components of the pyramid. This illustration is prepared as if all the elements were transparent, i.e. through subsequent components the elements, shapes, and connections placed behind them are visible. It represents a repetition of Figure N2 from monographs [1/3] and [1/2], Figure D2 from treatise [7/2], and Figure 1 from treatise [7].
This device is shaped as a pyramid of around 27.5 [cm] high. Its wiring and main components are hermetically enclosed inside a pyramidal casing made of perspex or glass. The casing hosts: a copper frame (F) shaped like a pyramid and aligning each corner of the casing, a conical coil (C) also made of a copper wire, four aluminium disks (D1), (D2), (D3), (D4) attached to the side walls of the pyramidal casing - one of them (D1) should have a small hole in the centre, quartz crystal (Q) placed at one-quarter of the height, phial (T) placed in the centre of the base, two inductors (I1) and (I2), and four cascades of mirrors (M1), (M2), (M3), (M4) placed in four corners of the base. All these components should not touch each other, although they should be electrically connected together according to the original instruction. Their electrical properties should fulfil the condition of "harmonic" proportions.
The phial (T) should be half filled with ordinary kitchen salt, half with mercury. It is recommended that it should work under a vacuum. Both inductors (I1) and (I2) are made of small bar magnets with copper wiring tightly winded around them. Each cascade of mirrors (M) is made of three small mirrors of descending heights. The copper frame (F) is simply eight pieces of copper wire joined together so that they form the shape of a pyramid. It is recommended that the whole pyramid should be under a vacuum.
