It’s not a lot of power though - right?
I learned something today, thank you.
Very nice! I'm wondering what the "correct way" of heating this is. Given that the sand seems to be a good insulator, putting as much heat as you dare in the middle rather than spreading the wire out evenly would make the heat spread out over the course of the heating/day, causing less losses & less need for additional insulation. Likewise, if you build some kind of tubing to pump out the heat, those being more at the edges might also pull out the heat less aggressively?
I’ve seen a driveway underneath power lines lined with flour scent bulbs. No light fixtures just bulbs and at night the driveway was lit up well. In the day time they were still lit but harder to see

Not sure why it's spinning?
You mention it is probably micro-amps. Not very useful unless you’re trying to do medical experiments on yourself by living there.
It’s not clear to me whether this is electrostatic or magnetic coupling. If it’s electrostatic, the ultimate peak voltage would be on the order of 240 kV x 4’ (height of fence) / 40’ (height of transmission lines). I’m not sure how to calculate the max open-circuit voltage due to magnetic coupling, perhaps some other reader would know how to do so.
Interesting. I was curious about useable energy. Despite the voltage and loud spark, the amount of energy is miniscule. 36 joules is .00001 kwh. Worth way less than 1 penny.
I used to off-road underneath the high lines and if we brushed up against our vehicles we would get a good zap. However, most of the time it just felt like radiation that you would get off of a 2meter Ham radio antenna while transmitting.
Check out Malcom Bendall’s ‘thunderstorm generator’ , it’s like a upgraded Geet device. There is even a dyi build on Alchemical Science KZread channel… happy building
Free energy for the sake of cancer...why not!
interesting, this idea just popped in my head so i searched it to see if it had been done before. great minds think alike.
As a land surveyor operating a transit along the centreline of a steel tower transmission line, I experienced mild burns to my eyelids when looking through the scope along the direction of the line. When the transit was turned at right angles to the centreline, there was no burning sensation. This applied only to the older type refracting telescopes which where longer than the newer reflecting scopes. Also damp or foggy weather made it worse. ,
Voltage does not go through you. Current does.
I've always wanted to try that but by using a neon sign transformer.
If I were living there, I would make a huge coil with thick wire (maybe AWG 00) and make it resonant to 60Hz. If I could, I would attach some kind of iron core for better performance, though it must be taken into account for the resonance calculation of the coil. The thing would be placed above ground (maybe in a large wooden table) and be put directly under the power lines at their lower altitude in the property. Even when it would be a pricy setup because of the wire, I would have "free" energy, or better said, "pirated" energy as long as transmission lines are energized. In this case, as if it was a transformer, the higher the load in the lines (users in the city with many appliances turned on), the higher the current induced in my coil as a secondary. Since this gives no control over voltage, I would rectify it and regulate it to charge batteries for an inverter.
Technically, it's not stealing anything if it does not reduce the power in the HV lines. Yes, the space around the HV lines is being continuously disturbed. Whose fault is that for not shielding their cables? So, at that point, it is a free for all, but truly dangerous. But perhaps the same HV conditions can be safely replicated in a portable scaled down unit shielded inside a Faraday cage.
A method of stealing electric in the UK was to run a coil of wire in parallel with powerlines! Be careful doing this. The company isolated part of the line and rapidly switched power on and off. The surge caused a fire in a farm, that is how the offenders were located.
What if snowmobilers hit wire?
You should probably delete this video before you get a felony charge.
Live line worker are very aware of this ,they only try work in this field for 10 yes for heath reasons
When the Blackrock lawyers see this video you will be JFKd
That’s not how you should discharge a capacitor.
So do you realize what you’re actually doing with your experiment???? Your doing what they are actually but they’re charging you for it for what they harvest for free. Do you get what I’m saying?🙂 Think about it. 🤔 think about what Nikola Tesla was doing, but stopped from doing by the MAN. They Use those high-voltage powerlines as a receiver “like a tesla tower” then they store the free energy that they captured from the atmosphere and store it and capacitors then charge you for it. 😮🤨😡😡.
Electric fences deliver 7000-8000 volts at around 120 milliamps. This will get your attention but because of the extremely low amps is not really considered dangerous for a normal healthy person.
You could even more effectively cream more energy off the lines if you brought the wire to resonance for the frequency of the AC overhead power. You would need a very large inductance added to the wire but it could be calculated and achieved to provide usable energy. Remember the slowly rising voltage is not indicative of a large amount of current yet current could be increased at resonance. Great Video Mate. (Energy is not Power) Power is how much energy can be produced over a specific time period) I assume u know that 🙏 You could use an LC calculator to work out the inductance required minus the inductance of the wire length.
Take a small liquid cooled engine, and run the carb intake through the coolant channels.!!! Add high pitch turbo impeller to the water pump. It would probably fraking work. Emulsify water in the gas fuel and you could get it to run on superheated steam.
I’d be charging battery banks and run my house for free!
About 35 years ago I was framing a home right next to a huge power line …. As I was setting the aluminum windows…. I had one barely open … 1/8 to 1/4 inch….. it started making a popping sound…. and then a blue light (electric) ran a long the small opening…..
Your measurement in the calculator is off. The capacitor is 88 MFD (Millifarads). The calculator is set for 88 μFD (microfarads), 1000 times smaller than MFD. The calculated "E" is actually 1000 times your result. or 36,197J What you made was a 1:1 transformer. If you had left it alone and your components were rated for it, the whole thing would have charged up to (close to) the power line voltage. Without the bridge rectifier and capacitor, the wire by itself will measure the same voltage as the powerline, but the amperage would measure in nanoamps, if that. That's why it overvoltaged the DVM but didn't fry it's circuits. It's not an efficient transformer because it's inducing a voltage based on the magnetic fields of all three phases overhead which oppose each other by 120°. The main induction voltage is coming from the closest overhead line. As long as any fence near the high-lines is grounded, there should be no measurable voltage. To dispel some misunderstanding: This is NOT "free" energy. For every jewel you stored in the capacitor, the generators had to put out that extra amount of power. It's miniscule compared to the total amount of power flowing in the lines, but that miniscule extra load from your transformer effects the fuel consumption at the generator. If the power company discovered that you were using it to maintain the charge on batteries or to run some sort of device, they actually have the legal right to charge you with theft - same as if you jumper out your house meter.
I have a vague recollection of someone daring me to touch a barbed wire fence under a big power line at a horse farm many years ago... with the claim being that it will shock me, but of course, I said no thanks to that offer!!
I’ve worked in a substation with a duel fed 138kv feeders. When I first started doing this an electrician took me out under the feeder lines which were probably about 50 feet over our heads. He got out his volt meter and turned it on and held the leads up In the air with his arms spread far apart and the meter read 100 volts.
if the power company shielded the lines like they should this would not be an issue.
Nah. Not high voltage! It is your MAGNETIC PERSONALITY that is doing it!
That's 88 millifarads not microfarads. Big difference, by about a thousand times. Good way to get yourself killed messing around without any safety equipment or proper discharge rod.
I recognize the logo on the hat. Always good to see another brother Knight!
Every meter above ground potential is 10 volts, 100 volts is 10 meters above ground potential. Atmospheric electricity is more electrostatic in nature, that's why you're not getting the results that you expect. Try using a large resistance between the coil and ground to measure the voltage. Right now you're trying to measure a voltage with the inductive reactance of the coil as the only resistance to separate the potential difference between the atmosphere and ground. The electrostatic charge walks over the outside of the line, don't touch any part of the experiment with your bare hands because it affects the measurements you're getting. You might want to use a much smaller gage wire with a lot more turns as your receiver. Hope that helps!
I once attended a town meeting where a developer was developing a property that was partially in a high tension tower easement area. They were going to build a swimming pool directly underneath one of the towers. I asked do you think the laws of physics stopped on easement boundaries? The lawyer representing the development company said, "Yes". Luckily the plan fell through due to controversy over kickbacks.
Induction is a wonderful thing!
Proving Gauss' Law still works.
Since the capacitor took about 70 seconds to go from 180v to 335V, then you are probably stealing about 0.05W of power. If you did that for 10 minutes, you might have stolen about 0.0003 cents worth of power. You better just turn yourself in.
Yes cuz stealing $1 from a bank will get you in far less trouble than stealing $100
I used to work on interstate lighting for the state that I live in and we had a light that continued to fail prematurely to its design and in comparison to the other lights... This was due to higher voltage transmission lines about 30 feet from it... I also had to use arc rated gloves to work on it because the light's head would also be conducting energy while the circuit was deenergized... It took a few years, but we were finally given permission to just take it down and remove it from that string of lights... The voltage wasnt anywhere near the voltage in this video, but the light was in a highly trafficked and populated area... Even going up in the boom to reach the light was dangerous since I was also getting closer to the transmission lines... The same situations exists from the transmission lines on the wind farm I worked on and on one of the country roads I walk... The wind farm has buried lines until it goes out towards the power company's side of things... If the masses were more aware of these types of conditions being possible and in existence I think it would help with the acceptance, or at least the acknowledgement of certain physics theories, along with even more credit or understanding to Nikola Tesla... People accept the existence of invisible energy every day by using WIFI and cell providers, among other reasons, but they dont even think twice about it, until its said to be dangerous, profitable or gone... This video and one of the comments also shows how we are wasting energy that can still be harnessed from the transmission lines' losses...
What you're doing is considered theft. An expert would destroy your case in court. You can connect to the powerline in 1 of 3 ways: resistively (using a conductor which captures the current), capacitively (using plates which capture the stray electric field), or inductively (using coils which capture the stray magnetic field). The energy stored in the stray electric and magnetic fields is called near-field storage and is returned to the T-line every half-cycle (that's the physics). Thus, it's still power company property. However, you can legally capture energy from the far-field radiation, but this is problematic too. The far-fields separate from the T-line, radiate out into free space like radio signals, are never stored and never return to the T-line. Since the power company has lost this energy, it becomes public property and can be legally harvested. Additionally, you're not connected to the T-line at all. Your device is almost certainly capturing near-field energy that is owned by the power company. I know this is the case because there is zero far-field radiation from a balanced three-phase T-line since, by definition, the 3 phase electric (and magnetic fields) will add to zero. But even if the phases don't sum to zero or one considers only single-phase, the T-line is not the proper length for efficient radiation and will, again, have zero far-field energy. You would be better off trying to harvest energy from stray AM/FM/SAT signals.
I have 2 of those power lines running across my property. This gives me ideas.
I wonder how multiple passes of wire would work and even up to 8 feet high like a deer exclusion fence. Bet you could charge a few batteries off that over a day or two.
I have a friend who, while in the Navy, had an acquaintance who claimed that he and some of his friends would take fluorescent tubes to high voltage power lines and launch the tubes up at the power lines at their lowest points between the transmission towers. This man claimed to my friend that the fluorescent tubes would light up very brightly as they came very close to the wires. The man also claimed that if the fluorescent tubes actually contacted the wires, the tubes would spin around the wires for a few seconds and then explode from the high voltage. My friend and I have serious doubts about the veracity of this person's claims, but have both wondered what would happen if you did do what this man claimed and flung fluorescent tubes at high voltage wires. Neither of us are actually willing to put this to the test.
Your basically seeing the biot-savart law, as well as the Lorentz law in action. The biosavart law dictates the movement of electrons in the high voltage lines results in a curcular magnetic field far enough to reach the fence on the ground. The fence picks up that magnetic field and the Lorentz law takes effect. The magnetic field makes the electrons in the fence move in a circular pattern. This creates a disproportial charge from one end to the other resulting in voltage. Basically what you have there is a large transformer with an air gap instead of steel. That's why you need to rectify the power. Its switching polarity with the alternating hv lines above.
Did you check how long it took the sand to cool back to 27 degrees?
Very cool. Is the goal here to capture the charge then use it to power an animal fence?
