For understanding Kozyrev experiments one must understand mechanism of gravity first. The first proposal comes from Newton friend and colleague Nicolas Fatio and his follower Le Sage before four hundred years. According to it gravity results from shielding of longitudinal i.e. scalar waves of vacuum, which are all around us, and which manifest itself by quantum noise and ZPE energy. Massive bodies shield them, which generates shadow of longitudinal waves, which manifest itself as a dilatation of space/time there and pull known as a gravity force. But at the presence of multiple massive bodies (gallaxy) this mechanism can be reversed and shielding of this shielding by another massive bodies creates opposite effect known as a dark matter, which exhibits excess of scalar waves instead.
The shielding of shielding works best when massive bodies are aligned along single line and on their connection line dark matter filament establishes itself: a zone of vacuum, where scalar waves are in excess and time runs slightly faster. Analogy of this effect manifests itself in archipelagos of islands, which shield surface ripples, but these underwater ones (i.e. tsunami) get enhanced instead along connection line of islands - this is dense aether analogy of dark matter between galaxies. Scalar waves spread much faster than transverse waves of light (tsunami also propagate much faster than surface waves on the sea), so that their shadows follow motion of massive bodies without delay.
During eclipses and planetary conjunctions massive bodies get also temporarily aligned, so that dark matter shadow emerges along their connection line. This is the moment, which could be detected like local dilatation of time by watches, the speed of which also depends on motion of massive bodies (like the Accutron watches). This is also place, when vacuum capacitor comes into game, because dark matter shadow at the connection line of planet manifest itself like increase of scalar noise of vacuum and electric noise of capacitor. This is therefore why Gregory Hodowanec could use simple charged capacitor for detection of distant cosmic phenomena. Note that scalar waves handle massive bodies like hollow shells (gravitational potential get highest at their surface not at their centres) so that these events come in pairs.
