Free Energy

Step 8 Taking it further

Now that this proof of concept is done you can scale up!

You can:

Line your house with it

Make conductive balloons (should work really well) so that you get both huge surface area and a high altitude. The only reason why I didn't do this was because I didn't have the resources.

Use this as a science fair project and win 1st prize.

I'm going to be experimenting with aluminum tape and see if it works really effectively outside

I've seen another patent that shows how to extract electrical energy form the surrounding environment. I'd have to look to see what the patent number and patent title are, considering I have a copy of the patent. From that patent I've learned another valuable detail - the higher the aerial (the antenna), the more energy you can extract from the atmosphere and surround environment. That might be something worth trying with this circuit you've made. As to the fluctuations in voltage, I'm uncertain as to solve that problem. Considering I've never majored in neither electronics nor physics, I have no suggestions in that area.

Can this power AC or DC?

Lightning is DC, and so are the capacitors, but once you've stored it you can hook up an inverter to output AC or you can just use it out of the batteries as DC.
