    Its called EMF / a farmer in Texas in the 60 set up his chicken house under power lines and ran a coil on his roof and it would run his lights till a surge would come through and blow all his lights in the chicken house and the power co told him he was stealing power from the power company but there was no way to prove it

    Inductive loads do use power otherwise anything behind a transformer would be "free" energy. This is just the worlds worst transformer in that form. The power companies claim is technically right, though not worth the time and the effort as power used for a couple lights is nothing. I doubt they would even spend the legal fees in fighting it.

    Get your hands on a regular TV antenna! This should get more current that could prove useful! 300V even at a few micro amps is not bad! I was trying to see if you were measuring AC or DC? But couldn't catch what the meter was set at? If the 300V was stepped down, you could achieve a usable voltage and current, and if it's charging a battery day and night! I would have that back fence covered in TV antennas! When questioned, I would complain that this is what I have to go through to get decent reception for my TV!

Please study this more before you play around much more.. Those transmission lines are carrying hundreds of thousands of volts to reduce loss..

He could argue that they allowed the magnetic field to enter his property and what he did with it was none of their business.

    You are receiving the electric field coming off the powerlines. The more surface area you have the more current you will get. The higher you mount the antenna the more voltage. Your metal ladder is shorting field to ground. I used a 3 foot long coil resonated to 60 Hz and got about 3 milliamps 50 feet away from residential lines. It picked up the magnetic radiation instead of the electrical field. Don't charge up capacitors to dangerous voltage levels, it takes time but can give a lethal jolt.

    Why not show us Voltage and amperage together? Of course, when there is a short circuit, the volts come near to 0, depending on the resistance and impédance of the whole circuit, as we are in AC there are induction in wire loops, and capacitance between conductors, that is what happens when your body is close to the circuit, you are a part of it. Is the frequency 60 Hz?

    The reason you cannot get any return on the wood only test is that the wood is nonconductive by itself. If there was a conductive fluid (water or almost any other fluid) on or in the wood, it would allow your meter to respond. You are correct about the trees draining the energy as the wood is "wet" and it absorbs the energy because it is grounded and electricity will find the easiest way to get to ground, lust like lightning does. Keep up the great work and you now have one more subscriber.

    Telluric Currents. I think this was what Mr Tesla was playing with. They occur naturally in the earth, as well as manmade things can cause these currents. Hydro lines and Pipelines use Cathodic Protection systems to protect metals in the ground from corrosion by pumping current into the earth in high corrosion potential areas. Sometimes the currents find their way to the surface and show up in conducting materials such as fence line wire! Would be cool to see if you could hook up a solar charge controller and battery to see if you could collect a charge:)

    I think if you do the same thing with a regular dry board with no electrolyte you'll likely get the same readings. The board is probably doing a better job of insulating the wire from the ladder's interaction with the field than the styrofoam does. Anything on the ground including the trees, people, the ladder, the grass, mostly anything will extend the ground's influence on the field. ElectroBOOM and Plasma Channel did great videos on this a few years ago, and powered a little static electric motor. lasersaber even built a longwire-powered atmomotor so powerful it could drill small holes in wood. Not even under a power line. You should check their videos out, but I love seeing someone actually try a bunch of different objects in different scenarios. Nice job! As for the wind, I'd consider whether it's causing any movement in the overhead cable, and also the triboelectric interaction of the air and its contents (dust, humidity, etc) with the materials you're using.

    A board without added electrolyte, might do the same thing. -(I started thinking I should try that also, though there are natural electrolytes in the wood too). The ladder is fiberglass which is a non-conductor, and it has a plastic top step. In the video I also turned the board over, so the nails and wire were in contact with the styrofoam, and got the same readings. Thanks for the comment.

    ​@@doubleMinnovations Nothing is truly a non-conductor, some things just need more voltage than others to pass the same amount of current. What I'm really saying though isn't so much about conductivity/resistivity as it is about the shapes of bodies interacting with the electric field. You already verified that your board is not measurably conductive to your meter, yet its presence is changing something. Do it on a wooden ladder instead, you'll get different readings. Do it at the same height in the same location as the top of the ladder was, but without the ladder under it, like on the center of a long board supported at the ends. You'll get different readings again. Use something besides wood, different readings. Unwrap the beach ball and put it near the wire. It'll change your readings yet again, even though it's plastic. I admit metals and magnets likely have a *stronger* influence, but every single atom nearby is having an influence. If you want to minimize that influence I'd consider suspending the whole experiment further off of the ground using a minimal number of something like fishing lines. As always, I appreciate you taking the time to answer. Thank you.

    I assume the voltage and current measurements are with respect to earth ground. What you have is two series capacitors with the power line being one plate, ground is the other, and the object on the ladder becomes a center plate forming a capacitor between it and ground and the center plate and power line. Thus you have a capacitive voltage divider. At 400V and 20 microamps the capacitive reactance is about 20 megohms. At 60 hz this translates to about 133 picofarads between the plate atop the ladder and ground. Your body forms yet another capacitor center plate between the object on the ladder and ground. The closer you stand, the greater this capacitance becomes. These capacitances in parallel add, shunting some of the current and voltage from the original cap with the ladder across it, thus lowering the measured voltage and current when standing nearby. Attempting to measure resistance of the dry board is probably greater than the highest resistance range of your DMM.

    I think tapping into step potential along the ground under the lines may give you more power by measuring the voltage across two ground rods. This can be very dangerous because this ground may be carrying a high neutral current of the three phase lines. Start with grounds about 10 feet apart and be very careful if you move them apart. See step potential wiki to learn of the possible hazards before trying this. Also step potential can change drastically with soil moisture. Also see single wire earth ground (SWER) information wiki. Experimenting with this is dangerous and possibly deadly.

    Very good experiment, to give better results at the beginning and end of the tips of the cable, solder 3 tips of the same gauge of the cable so that a snowflake figure is formed with which you will have 6 wires around the cable center that will be in the middle and check again and you will see how the voltage increases more. All of this is a result of the ions that are in the air, as the height of the cable increases (you only need one side of the cable elevated, the other could hang so that you can review the measurement with the same configuration that you have from the rod inserted in the ground as negative (actually it is the positive but since its discovery it was thought that it was negative) and the positive will be taken from the end of the cable that you have in it. high, But be careful, every meter that the tip of the cable rises with the configuration at the snowflake tip will give more or less 100 volts, therefore if I said it 10 meters more or less it will have 1000 volts (it also depends on the quality of the cable) but the important thing is that the tip has that snowflake configuration since each tip will be used for the positive ions that are found in those tips that protrude from the tip of the cable that is above, the capacitors that it has will serve to store the electrical charge but be very careful because as I just mentioned if you raise the cable 10 meters it will be more or less 1000 volts although the amperes will be very low when storing that charge in the capacitors in the air look for ground and concentrate If you touch them if you feel a strong shock because the capacitors will be discharged in a single blow, I hope this information helps you Greetings from Mexico

    You are adding more ground reflector capacity when you get close to the circuit. So it gets out of tune when there is too much capacity. It's not about the size of the antenna. It's about the natural frequency of the antenna, it should be able to reflect about the same frequency you are trying to pick up.

    There is an electrostatic voltage of something like 100 volts per foot of height above ground, that supplies microamps of current depending on area...Your meter is measuring the voltage according to the current flowing thru the megohm impedance of the meter, not the actual voltage of the static source...Of course you will capture some of the field energy of the power lines but that energy falls off as the square of the distance....If you want to have some fun, find a 1Kvolt capacitor, attach a spark plug with a 0.005 inch gap, place that at the end of your wire and ground the outside of the plug and the other end of the capacitor.....

    The Vinegar and copper is adding electro-chemical and inductive properties. The vinegar contains mineral salts that will make the water a weak conductor (same as using salt water) which increases the surface area of your "antenna". The acid will also create a weak corrosive charge with the copper wire and with its larger surface area its essentially doing an open air ground loop to complete the circuit (it'll always be low as the air isn't great for moving electrons, but it is a very high resistance path). Everything else with the wire is just straight induction... basic antenna design at play. Ideally you would want to work in multiples of exactly 18.77 ft (wavelength for 60hz) although that will really depend on the distance and position from particular wires (each line will be at a different phase, so the combined reaching any particular point will require distance from each phase and angle numbers). Of course, with an oscilloscope you could just measure the frequency at points and tune accordingly. Optimal antenna design is a bit beyond my expertise, especially as at this distance it's not as simple as being a point source, and you cannot easily encapsulate the entire wire in a coil. So large coils or spiral formations are going to have sections running in ways that will cancel each other out. A long whip along the run is probably the best overall without some really complex design, either that or maybe a large sheet curved to match the approximate radius from the wire.

    Just don't ask the company if you're allowed to do that, because the answer will be a resounding no. I watched the video here on YT, and the guy was talking about his friend, asking similar question about radio waves, and he got an answer that it is forbidden. So the solution is obviously not asking in the first place:) Is the wind moving the conductor wires above? If so, that could affect your readings, because what you're picking up is obviously some kind of induction. And the trees around are just sucking their share of electroculture, with or without antennas. But I see no reason why you would be able to read the resistance of dry wood, regardless of it being soaked in electrolyte or not as long as it is dry. Adding some water would probably change that. But your reading was from the wire, not the board anyway. It's normal that the wire functions as an antenna, so you could maybe check online antenna calculators to find out which lengths you could try for 50Hz, if that's what you have got in your area. If the conductors above are not insulated, the best harvesting method would be a metal hook attached to the thick cable, and if they are insulated metal hook, but sharpened, so you hook it up, hold on tight to the cable, and jump from the ladder, and after couple of swings you'll have te contact. Don't worry, you'll know exactly when:) Just kidding, keep up the good work!

    I would suggest watching the other videos I have on these subjects. There's small amounts of energy available, but there's only so much energy available for a spacial area. So the many different metals and wires I tried, the weak acid treated wood is so much easier and cheaper to construct.

    The voltage changes depending how far it is overall from the power line. If one end is brought close to the ground, the voltage really drops, and if it touches the ground, it just grounds it out.

    Found this a while ago. The electric potential gradient of the atmosphere On an ordinary day over flat desert country, or over the sea, as one goes upward from the surface of the ground the electric potential increases by about 100 volts per meter. Thus there is a vertical electric field E of 100 volts/m in the air. The sign of the field corresponds to a negative charge on the earth’s surface. This means that outdoors the potential at the height of your nose is 200 volts higher than the potential at your feet! You might ask: “Why don’t we just stick a pair of electrodes out in the air one meter apart and use the 100 volts to power our electric lights?” Or you might wonder: “If there is really a potential difference of 200 volts between my nose and my feet, why is it I don’t get a shock when I go out into the street?” Although the electric current-density in the air is only a few micromicroamperes per square meter, there are very many square meters on the earth’s surface. The total electric current reaching the earth’s surface at any time is very nearly constant at 1800 amperes. This current, of course, is “positive”-it carries plus charges to the earth. So we have a voltage supply of 400,000 volts with a current of 1800 amperes-a power of 700 megawatts! The current in a lightning stroke is about 10,000 amperes at its peak, and it carries down about 20 coulombs. www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/II_09.html

    @@doubleMinnovations Any HAM operator will explain length of wire RE frequency. It's not how much voltage but the increased (usable) current from it. What I perceive is static current you are measuring and it has to be really high to have measurable value. I encourage you to continue by all means. And I offer no criticism, just encouragement. Think a dozen coils, paralleled along the length you are currently using. I asked a lineman why there were rubber strips from his axles to the ground. He replied to discharge the static voltage built up during the day. A half amp can kill you. But makes a lousy power source. I was developing a product using wireless power to recharge the built in non accessible batteries. QI consortium specs. Up to 15 watts from a 1.5 by 2.5 antenna transmitter receiver pair.

    You are close to high voltage electricity cables. These radiate an electromagnetic field. Any conductor in this field will have a voltage induced in it. This will drop off the further away you are from the high voltage cables. As you observed, various things will effect this electromagnetic field such as you own body being close to the conductor. This is not free energy as it comes from the electricity grid. If you had made an efficient system to harvest this electricity then you would, in fact, be stealing from the power grid.

    yes, you can collect energy from hv powerline. it won't be stray, you're taking power away from the line. one would argue at which point you exceed natural loss. there is no foiled ball, eps foam, pickled boards, rainpipes and other things needed. there is more energy up you do, but eventually you die. there is also more energy depends on turns. and induction is along the wires so align your coil that way

    That has been done before. It is just the current in the overhead lines acting like a transformer primary, and your setup is the secondary. Just make more loops of your line and you will collect more power, with a higher voltage. Just notes that if you draw power from this for your house etc it is essentially theft. Also, it is detectable by the power company with their fault detection systems, and they can locate it to your property.

    Your long wires are forming an air transformer with the power line. You can improve your setup to suck usable energy from the power. In the 50s a farmer near to us thought to do this very thing and it worked well. However, the power company has sensitive equipment watching their lines, they will detect any significant power loss and will come investigating. They will find your setup and unlease their hoard of lawyers loose on you. They knew how much energy the poor farmer had vampired from their lines, plus theft charges and whatever else they can think of. They sent the poor farmer to prison. All for enough energy to run a icebox, a couple of lightbulbs, and a radio. While it's fun to experiment and dream, don't really do it. It's not worth the trouble it brings. Even small power companies have the equipment to do this, otherwise parasitic loses would destpry their profits.

    The vinegar soaked board is doing essentially nothing. Just drive nails on both ends but leave the wire off. You should read virtually nothing but maybe a little bit of voltage picked up by the meter wires. Wood, vinegar or not, is a terrible conductor. But the copper wire is a very good conductor. There is an electromagnetic field around the power lines but it decreases exponentially wit distance. But it can still induce voltage potential in conductors passing through the field. That is what you are seeing. You should try going out at night with long fluorescent bulbs. They should glow! Generally what you are doing is relatively safe, but you are in that field and you are conducting a very small part of that field to ground, which is why you see the voltage in the wire drop when you are close by. You create an effect similar to what the rooted trees and bushes do, but they are better grounded although less conductive than a human meat bag! Instantaneous current should be quite low but it can probably charge a capacitor over time if you use diodes to rectify it to DC. It might be interesting to build a circuit with an LED. you probably can't get quite enough current to light the LED continuously, but probably could use it to charge a capacitor and ten trigger it to flash the LED. I can't began to guess at component values but LEDs are typically around 1.8 to 3 volts. A transistor cold be used to trigger the LED when the charge voltage gets high enough. In theory, you could automatically cycle it from charge to flash. You can push LEDS to higher voltages very briefly. I think it would be pretty cool to have a string of these little LED flasher circuits set up to flash in thee dark. I don't have any high enough voltage lines nearby to try this. But I think it would be pretty cool! Be safe! Read up a bit and have a good idea what to expect. I think the energy levels are potentially enough to build a pretty good charge on a capacitor which could be dangerous.
