Stay Tuned...
I'm working on compiling a list of Stan's Equations from his "birth of new technology".
Others have probably already done this. However, I think that it'd be a good thing to do here for folks here.
(I'll edit this post when I get the equations ready)
Any input?
Also, if anyone can help me with Eq 9. on Section 1-4 that would be most helpful.
The resistance thing for the water is getting to me. Doing a little homework... I've discovered..."Insulation Resistance"
What is Insulation Resistance Testing?

"Basically, you're applying a voltage (specifically a highly regulated, stabilized DC voltage) across a dielectric, measuring the amount of current flowing through that dielectric, and then calculating (using Ohm's Law) a resistance measurement. Let's clarify our use of the term "current." We're talking about leakage current. The resistance measurement is in megohms. You use this resistance measurement to evaluate insulation integrity. Current flow through a dielectric may seem somewhat contradictory, but remember, no electrical insulation is perfect. So, some current will flow."

"Leakage current. No insulation is perfect; even new insulation will have some leakage current, albeit small. This leakage current will increase as the insulation ages. It also will worsen when the insulation is wet or contaminated."
"Absorption current. The charges that form on the plates of the capacitor attract charges of the opposite polarity in the insulation, causing these charges to move and, thus, drawing current...This current is called dielectric absorption, or just absorption current.

"When a DC signal voltage is applied to a capacitor... three types of currents flow
1. Leakage current...
2. Charge current...
3. Dielectric absorption current
Just as a thought... couldn't you use a "conducivity meter" and then use that to determine your correct frequency?

I'm inclined to believe that stan had the whole thing already setup as a "conductivity meter" with the "pick up coil". (I could be wrong on that aspect.)
