If you install 10 - 20 vertical aerial at reducing height and run it through a sequencing high voltage switching chamber and run it through a voltage transformer to earth the height voltage low current could be converted to low voltage high current . Resulting in endless free power. The switching is required to create a varying voltage so the transform will work.

Totally cool. If I remember the Tesla patent correctly, he used sheets of metal. One suspended in the air, the other buried in the ground. There was then an oscillator driving the HV onto a short secondary to deliver amps. In another paper, to do with attracting atmospheric electricity for the purposes of grounding lightning around/across buildings, he showed with math that using a hollow sphere was much more beneficial for gathering energy. So, how about a large balloon filled with Helium, covered in aluminium foil for the top, with a ground plate of the same capacitance? It doesn't have to be actually buried, but if it were in a conductive gel, such as a salt water/corn starch mix, to connect to the ground laterally, (??) then the current might go up. I don't remember what the galvanic opposite of aluminium is....I think it is lead. So, some lead flashing might be worth a try for the ground plane??

I was playing with a capacitor and attached one end of it to ground but it didnt discharge, i was wondering why? I know Q=CV and F=Kq1q2/R^2 so wouldnt a charge buildup on a capacitor cause a discharge? i know from RC circuits I=CV/(1+RC) so when the circuit isnt in a loop there will be charge buildup and that will counteract the current where C=epsillionA/D but what is the capacity of the earth/ground?

@@RimstarOrg Thank you so much!!! That's help a lot. I've plan to do this fun project at my rard.

If this was done on a mountain would that make a difference vs being done closer to sea level? Loved this entire video thanks

I don't know how well is scales as you go higher. The thinner atmosphere may mean fewer ions and so less current but I'm not sure. And thanks! I'm glad to hear you loved it. It was a challenging and fun project.

Would it increase the power if you used thicker copper?

It's possible that the resistance of the long wire is decreasing the available power and so, yes, a thicker copper wire might help. There's so little current here though that I wonder if it would make a difference.

What happens with a wire from the top of a hill or mountain to the bottom?

The mountain is all at ground potential, even at the top so I don't think it would make much difference. Have a look at my how-it-works video kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZKaKxqehqbC4ZqQ.html at around one minute and 16 seconds in at how the lines curve around the tree and building. It could be that the lines are closer together though above it though so the wire doesn't have t be as long to get the same voltage.

Can you imagine the HP capability of the motor if magnetic bearings were used? See a lot of similarity to the spires in "Victorian" (but likely much earlier) buildings - did these use atmospheric energy?

This should be tested at the grand canyon. using fiber glass rods and the sides of the canyon to support the copper wire. Also include capacitors and batteries as part of the electrical. Maybe enough power to tricked charge the batteries?

Lightning conductors.

I would imagine that the atmospheric electric field changes daily. Did you try it on different days and different weather patterns? We used to have a bank of spark gap style lightning arrestors to protect some radio equipment. During thunderstorms, those things chattered constantly due to the high charge level in the atmosphere at the top of the antenna tower.

I didn't try it in different conditions. My opportunity to do it was very limited. But I did read the same thing, that it varied depending on humidity at least. During a storm, it's even it supposed to be the reverse since the bottoms of the clouds would be negative with respect to the ground.

Many years ago, some scientists stretched an insulated cable between two mountain tops. The result was a nearly steady stream of 15 foot long arcs emanating from the ends of the cable. I read about it in a book titled, "Light and Electricity in the Atmosphere ", by Hal Hellman. It 's been many years, over 40 actually. I was a teen back then.

scrolled through the comments and didn't see anyone ask, but did you happen to measure the voltages in the test? it should be fairly high, add some capacitors and with some coils you can amplify that power on a great scale. cheers (with distilled water)

I didn't measure the voltage. Keep in mind that Ohms law applies. Ohms law says that as you lower the voltage, the current goes up but by the same ratio so the overall power stays the same.

Really interesting, great post! Layman's suggestion/question: I wonder if a big helium filled foil balloon carrying that wire up could increase the gains of atmospheric electricity. Or even several big foil balloons evenly space along the wire? Final layman's suggestion/proposal: Using foil tape, attach MANY short lengths of foil ribbon evenly distributed all over the surface of the big helium filled foil balloon(s) attach to the wire and measure any gains. I'm done, thanks!

RimstarOrg it would have to be modified to use the highest possible voltage devices and I think it will work possibly it would need multi stage devices there are semiconductor devices which operate in the kilovolt range
