Hi Karneki1,

I saw your post at the free electricity from thin air post and I have some questions from which I hope you're able to give me answers ;)

Probably I am doing something wrong for I only got 0.01 volts out of my replication. According to that I want to ask you if you have any pics of your replication so I can see where I got it wrong. Is that possible?

The second question I have for you is about the antenna. At this moment I am using a yellow copper wire, removed from an old doorbell. But do you know if it matters if one uses yellow or red copper? In the video namely a red copper wire is used for the antenna.

Thank in advance.

Best regards,

Arnold

how did u make the circuit?

And solder them together

wat u mean solder n dont i have to make a circuit like the picture he shows in the end?

I used all parts suggested accept Antenna wire, instead I used magnet wire in which the author said any wire should work.

Have you considered making multiple circuits to increase voltage that may power an electric car?

It works with a RC car :P

The weight of the all the antennae you would need to power a car would make the car unable to power itself.

It works with a RC car.

at .000001 mph. If there was enough electricity flying through the air to effectively power an RC car, then it would cause damage to humans and living things.

It doesn't cause damage on humans, because we don't have these elements on us !
Or you do?

Karneki1,

The most I got was .035V. Did you really get 27.4V from the 50ft antenna? you said you had it in your garden, Did you lay the antenna wire on the ground? What kind of antenna did you use?

I used an antenna wire an taped it to the wall up in the attic and the most I got was .035V.

Any suggestion?

Thanks.

Try bigger capacitors...
I tried 1F 48V capacitor and the voltage was ~40V

I really got 27.4V.
It wasn't on ground, because it's grounded there and you get 0V.
I bought 'antenna wire' for $0.1 per meter.
If it's raining u get 0V too :(
Try putting it on plastic layer or something...

Karneki1,

Thanks for your reply. What is the length of your antenna wire and how did you lay the antenna?
Did you put the antenna wire around your garden? How high from the ground is the antenna wire layed.
In getting the 27.4V what amperage did you get?
Also, in the 27.4V what capacitor size did you use?
Youi said increase the cap to 1F for which one, the multilayer ceramic capacitors or the electrolytic capacitors?

Thx

Lenght is 50 ft.
I laid it straight(we have huge garden) on vertical sticks.
I got ~0.6A, spike to 5A(capacitor)
Capacitor was 520mF, 30V...
Electrolytic capacitors

but they found out you would need tons of electric wires to power up your house ... or a computer ...

Who Cares..If you live in the Middle of no where or on a Farm, It's a Great Backup Source :)

Jameco.com

Digikey.com

Newark.com

Or local Electrical/ Electronics store.

from what I know...is age. The 1n34A was the replacement of the 1n34.

One of the guys below said he found the caps online at:
webtronics. stores. yahoo. net/index.html
(close Spaces after dots)

@ about 800 mA.
The video only shows it going up to 2 volts because the intent was just to show that it was generating voltage...would be plenty boring to watch voltage readings...

If you read my posts further down, I describe how much output the system I made will make where I live.

but you won't know until you try!

Virtually all of these parts should be available at Radio Shack...like they don't even carry the antenna wire?
Time to go to a different store.

I highly suggest just going to an electronics supply store. They carry lots more than Radio shack ever will...and the people that work at these places actually know stuff about the electronic parts (and can usually suggest good replacement parts)

Your antenna can be made out of any kind of wire (but antenna wire is better suited for it). If you want to test your unit prior to making the antenna (to make sure it works), you can hook it up to your TV coax cable and use the cable signal for your input...

why not hook up the antenna cirucits
to electrodes and make hydrogen?
what about aluminum foil for an antenna?
is it using radio waves?? does this work better in the big cities?

I believe that this harnesses AM radio power. IF you don't live near a transmitter you most likely won't get a lot of voltage.
that is my take. this is not from static.
but from man made energy.. or so it seems. you can use a ignition coil in reverse with a spark gap and and long wire to charge a battery. that is from atmospheric energy.

This is the energy generated from AM radio waves.

Essentially this is a crystal radio without the high impedance earphone and no variable capacitor so that it "tunes" to many different frequencies rather than one.

This is still a very interesting circuit. I have heard of people trickle charging batteries when they live near a transmitter.

Pay the Man!

If you go there, just add the following in the address bar (added to the flickr.com address)

photos/stilllife02/

Note that the blue wire in the photo is an optional ground

I really appreciate the photo but in daylight the flash needs to be turned off, I can't see exactly where some of the wires go due to flash reflection.

I built according to diagram using exact parts recomended other than antenna wire where I used stripped magnet wire but the project failed so I am attempting to follow your exact placement on the barrier strip. Photos of different angles are also very helpful. Thank you so much. Kevin

for the diodes...
can try ones like AA112 or the 1SS16. I have not tried these myself but they can be used as a replacement diode in radios that use the 1n34 so...

You can really make do with a wide range of capacitors...and would not expect the project to fail completely due to not choosing just the "perfect" one.

The easiest test to see if the issue is with the circuit or with your antenna: hook your cable (from the cable tv) to the unit and see if it works. You can easily light an LED lightbulb from the signal given by the cable company.
If the light doesn't work, the problem is with the circuit. If the light does work, the problem is with your antenna.

Hope you fix up your computer though!

But not sure what else I can do...short of actually building it for you.

From your post below, it looks like Dillybar sent you some high-res pics of his...and the video shows a simple circuit plan. This should be more than plenty to get this up and running.

Unfortunately, if you can't understand an elementary circuit plan like this one (as you admitted to below), it may not be a good idea to take on building projects like this.

I can assure you that the design works. It's too bad you're going to give the vid a bad rating because you can't get it working...

Can you email them instead?

I hope this helps you out :)

The only exception being if you are screwing around with a collector during an electrical storm.
But then again the funeral costs for your family will greatly out weigh paying for regulated electricity like everyone else.

Your assumptions are wrong.

This system does NOT depend on nearby electrical power...and certainly is not relying on my home's electrical system.
It will happily run out in a rural field far, far away from overhead powerlines too.

The system collects FREE radio waves which may have been either locally broadcast or the antenna could be tuned to take advantage of naturally occurring ambient radio waves.

Anyone who has built a crystal radio knows darn well you can run the radio without a battery because you use the energy from the radio waves to power the radio.

I will take pictures of the one i built and send them to you if you give me an email so i can send them to you

my email trunce83@yahoo.com

thank you very much...

The longer and the higher your antennae, the better. Tesla obtained extremely high voltages. Also if you paint sheet metal and expose the painted side to the sun, connect your antennae, you collect radiant energy. Also think painted metal farm silos, grain elevators, painted metal roofs and siding, fencing (must be insulated from ground. ) You'll need bigger, much higher rated caps to do it in a big way.

like 24 feet
