Hi Art,

The week is up, and your research reveals you have gone off into the
ditch. You have utterly failed to account for the necessity of the
"work function" when it comes to separating an electron from any
surface (your appeal to diamagnetics is specious).

I could go deeper into your absurdity of mass reduction above by
asking you how much mass would a filament be reduced by with a typical
cathode current of 1 Ampere - but I will save the board the boredom of
your string of non-answers when you are invited to specifically
support your own specific statements.
