Getting Free Energy From The Sky!

I show you how the sky can generate power

Wonderful rendition James! I did the exact same thing when it comes to shocking myself. While attaching the wire, you think “well, no power is flowing I guess, ” until you touch the bare end of the wire and it feels like you’re about to die lol.

Imagine if the Eiffel Tower was sitting on insulators. I’m pretty sure you could tap a fair amount of current from that structure =]

As an electrical engineer, I'm shocked (puntended) that 1:58 worked as well as it did with the paint/coating. In fact, one way to improve your drone experiment would be to sand the cans.

0:46 "In order to actually feel something you gotta go really high." That true

Our power company was stringing a new line and posts, had about 7km finished. A local lineman was helping up on the new metal pole when bare skin on his calf grounded on the pole. He was knocked unconscious still belted to the pole. He survived with only a huge burn on his leg. The wire was not yet connected to the grid. The official story from the power company claimed it was lighting. It was of course, not lighting. They just neglected to ground the 7 km long wire and it collected voltage from the air. This was not in the U.S. by the way, so no OSHA, or training apparently.

We used to be able to draw a 1/4 inch spark for the lead from our old TV roof antenna. Thing was, we lived about a mile from the WPEN radio transmitter tower. 50K watts or so can do weird stuff.

My man's really taken the world's electricity problem personally

I went outside to look for my cat in a thunderstorm yesterday and lightning hit a tree no more than 40-50 yards away, so close and powerful that I felt the shockwave hit me in the chest - not electricity, just sheer energy, like a sonic boom. It made me instinctively lean and jump back. Really was a pretty cool experience, considering the fact that I'm okay.

I’m convinced at that this man is a future time traveler who set up this channel to slowly feed us information from the year 5000

i'm a ham radio op out in the Arizona desert. When the monsoon thunderstorms are moving through the area, the charge in the air goes way up. We disconnect our antennas of course, but if you place the feed line for the antenna next to a ground rod, we can draw half inch sparks off it from the charge. Yes, I've been shocked while unhooking it too.
Another thing. We can use kites and balloons to take an antenna wire way up. It's standard practice to install a 1 mega ohm resistor between the antenna lead and ground to bleed off the charge and save the radio from dealing with it.

You can also get free energy (your meter will turn backwards) by setting the output of a variac one turn less than a 1:1 ratio. You connect the AC input to the mains normally, then you connect the secondary to an extension lead which you plug into the neighbour's outdoor socket.

[svoranger]

Do it during a lightning storm. That will increase the current by a lot

[tayzonday]

If I tried this in rural America, a Karen would complain and police would absolutely come confront me for some zoning violation, FAA violation, permit violation or other selectively-applied law. Cool experiment! 😎

With a couple blank copper clad panels (PCB blanks) and the right sort of filters you can actually get power - I once used a little breakout board for a LTC3588 that I got from one of the maker websites (several offer it) for about 30 USD and I soldered 4 blank panels into two larger copper panels (just ran a bead down between them), hooked them up to the breakout board (it came populated), held up the boards towards the fluorescent lights in the lab (at work), and it started pulling 100mA at 3.3V no problem from a distance of about a foot from the ballast (that's what makes the noise/heat, noise=audible energy spray, heat=tactile/IR visible energy leak - inefficiencies=leaky/spray you can harvest).

03:45 The diagram on the bottom right is really interesting.
They used a hairpin circuit to create high voltage impulses from the high voltage DC potential.
Then these pulses are fed into a transformer to transform it down to a usable voltage.
As far as I know, the amperage should increase by transforming high voltage to a lower voltage.

The high voltage potential between the antenna and ground holds a huge energy potential but has very little energy flow (current).
You would need a device at the bottom that can transform the high voltage potential down to a usable and by doing that it should induce a higher flow (more current) of said potential.

I do believe that there is free energy that can be harvested in the atmosphere. You can really harness it...

[alexander]

The law of conservation of energy is fascinating. It’ll always find ways to prove itself right no matter how far (up or down) we look for breaking it!

[SuperVstech]

I think the “shock” he felt is the static charge from the rotating blades… it’s the reason helicopters need a ground cable dropped in the ocean before hoisting the rescued out…

I believe the key point here is to purchase property where you have land and mineral rights for mining to include the sky above in your real estate purchase whereby you would be owning the land below and the sky above in your acreage.

[SenorSchnitz]

Would be interesting to know if the balloons would work - and how much power you could harness from one.

And how many/how big of a balloons you would need to get the same energy as you can get with a solar panel or wind turbine...
