Utilization of Radiant Energy 1901 Nikola Tesla,My Test 3

The radiant energy absorbers, to me, are the only way to go. Tesla, Moray, Roy Meyers, and Linden, these men were definitely inspired. Just imagine putting all 4 devices together, what might happen. I'm going to print the illustrations, to try and comprehend the designs. Overunity website has schematics for the 555 timer circuit, where we can pulse the caps to utilize the energy to do work.

You're right, it has a huge advantage over solar, notice everyone seems to keep quiet about the fact solar only works properly 4 hours out of every 24. Divide the cell efficiency of 30% by the 16% of the day they actually work and the power generated for the money they cost is pretty poor.

There's no way of estimating how much wind power generates over a given 24 hours, it's too random.. but wind farms are now in the 100s of megawatt range... that's a fairly large target to compete with.

Hey I wanted to recommend that you look into improving your ground. From what I understand you probably want to have similar masses for the + and - components of the circuit. So 1 big aluminum plate up top means 1 aluminum plate in the ground. Otherwise the ground will be your weakest link. I'm pretty sure I read about this in a tesla patent.

Agreed. The costs for such systems however seem to outweigh other systems. Giant windmills have moving parts that would need replaced/repaired at intervals. Hydro destroys the local environment. Nuclear...well yeh... Towers built properly for electrical collection would need minimal maintenance I believe as compared with other methods....

Yep, I know he used 2 large balloons at 1000ft to collect 3.4 kilowatts. There's also Moray but there's never any real technical details about what he did.

A primary advantage of atmospheric electricity compared to solar and wind is that it runs 24/7, night and day.

The main disadvantage seems to be the sheer size and height of the antenna required to deliver small amounts of power.

Good info. Please post any other info about people researching these topics. It can be hard to locate that info on google sometimes.

If all of you are unfamiliar with Hermann Plauson I highly recommend you look up him & his patents. A google search should reveal some news articles on him from the 30's. They include drawings of huge balloons that he used to put mesh wire/wire cable in the air w/ maximum potential. They predicted in the 30's this would be every where in the future. The golden age of energy was probably 1890's-1930's before the oil energy barons clamped down on research w/ real potential to change the world.

In March 1971, Dr. Oleg Jefimenko proved that a wire held aloft by a ballon at 1200 feet altitude would provide 70 watts of high-voltage power to an electrostatic motor

The basics formula is 100v per vertical ft but @ microAmps. Obviously 300ft vertical is abit hard to do, although it's been proved to produce the best results. (a 1000ft 'skywire' has powered a 1/3hp 'static' motor) My best guess is that going horizontal is like going parallel, i.e more current, but it's an old radio truism that vertically polarized antenna pick up more 'static'.

It also seems the ground connection is just as important as the antenna size, another old radio truism.

ohhh yea, aint it great!! it will be sweet when we harness that energy!! leathal means that we can power some bigger devices!! in like a week once i get my first paycheck im gonna buy a high altitude ballon, or get a ton of ballons and test the voltage potential, as height increases. supposedly from one site, in 1922 they made the ballon go up to about 100 yrds and it got 100-1000v, with about 10 amps of current!! i might have told u already, im not sure lol. keep up the good work!

search nuenergy on google, the coil designed one is on that. thats the ignition coil setup. i think the wire might need to be made into an electret. thats something i have to test farther down the road, but thats what tsport100 is saying.

100m (300ft) is plenty of surface area. If you have antenna building experience you'll know a tuned bit of copper wire can produce some amazing results.

I just found this info on a ham radio forum where many hams have long wire antenna in their yards and it's a well known fact that during storms a long wire antenna collects potentially lethal voltage and they disconnect the antenna lead to avoid equip being zapped .

Do we know the gauge of the wire? I think the main issue is the volume (mass) of the collector. What was the wire height relative to the ground? I'm very interested.

I read about a simple set up that used a 300ft insulated wire on one end and a good earth on the other side of a high voltage capacitor (the longer the wire, the higher the voltage, and the cap is meant to be in the 1000v range) Connected in parallel with the high voltage cap is a simple circuit consisting of a spark plug and car ignition coil to step down the high voltage to 12v. The cap fills and periodically sparks the air gap into the coil. Could charge a car battery in a day.

yea i was wondering about the threshold voltage of the leds no letting as much energy through. whos hacker club?? really i dont need to insulate the plates??. i was just copying teslas patent the best i could and he stressed the importance of insulated plates. ill try what you say about the foil. what do you mean by electret foil. is that like when you run high voltage through cooling wax and leaves a permanant charge in the wax, but i never heard of electret foil. thank you for helping me out
