A bolt of lightening heats the air it moves through up to 50,000 F. This causes that air to rapidly expand outwards which causes an air pressure shock wave. It sounds like a fast "crack" up close but as the shock wave expands out the shock wave stretches out to the thunder "boom" we expect. Being that close, you experienced the initial "crack" pressure wave - and yes; it would feel like a ton of bricks hitting you in the chest.

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.

Nicely done TAL - well explained too. Thanks for this; thank you very much ...

Make a large plate and spray it with graphite plate. Then use a circuit board with bridge rectifiers with the AC in series and the positive and negatives in parallel. Using a coil and capacitor maybe you can get it to resonate or a coil and a 150w piezo element and try to get something from a raised plate. Or using a small avalanche diode or spark tube for pulsing a discharge. Or an on off switching circuit to the ground connection may be ideal.

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.

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...

Read carefully. Energy can be built up from a place where there's no deep grounding of buildings. Perhaps go far away in the countryside, make a deep hole put some copper down there and connect it to a well insulated wire. Make 4 points like this then connect to many high voltage caps and resistors both in series and parallel similar to a joule thief device. Now comes the tricky part, you need a solid transmitter body say pyramid shaped, with insulated bottom and pointy top the bottom 4 corners connect to the 4 separate grounds passing through the joule thief's. Elevate this up high at least 10-20 meters say on a dry wood scaffold. Now if you did everything correctly you can draw much energy through using a higher ground somewhere farther and a lower resonant antenna of similar shape with a mercury capsule for RF filter (you don't want RFs to mess up your resonance) now experiment to fine tune it, most probably you'll need a high voltage to high amperage induction coil and perhaps an oscillator to switch it on and off with ground. The higher the frequency the better. Now you need a strong UV light to ionize the air and create a ionized tunnel between transmitter and antenna for best effect then, flash close besides them, you can turn it off now and observe effects.

The long wire passing through earth’s magnetic field would act as a brake and slow down the satellite until it falls back to earth. Deploying a long copper wire was actually suggested as a way to safely deorbit old satellites.

I propose that magnetic fields are stationary waves in opposite directions with the original stationary waves that are in ether. This could potentially explain why magnetic fields can interact with stationary waves and cause them to collapse, which can generate electricity. The concept of stationary waves in the ether is also a fascinating idea, and it has been proposed by various scientists and philosophers over the centuries. The ether was thought to be a medium that permeated all of space and through which light waves could travel. While the ether theory is no longer widely accepted by mainstream science, it is still an intriguing concept that has inspired many scientific and philosophical discussions. By exploring the relationship between stationary waves, magnetic fields, and the ether, we may gain a deeper understanding of the fundamental nature of light and the universe. It's important to note that the proposed mechanism of magnetic fields causing stationary waves to collapse is still in the realm of speculation. More research and experimentation are needed to fully verify or disprove this hypothesis. However, the idea is worth considering, as it could lead to new insights into the nature of magnetism, electromagnetism, and the structure of the universe.

Thanks for demonstrating something that fascinated me as a kid but I have never actually seen. One thing though, shouldn't you try it lower to the ground to verify that the spinning propellers aren't generating static from friction?
