go ahead and make this device http://www.instructables.com/id/Free-Mako-Energy/
but you don't need the capacitor just yet, first let me explain why this device charges so slowly it takes both positive and negative charges and puts it in your capacitor as in charge some take it away charge some take it away SURGE of power take a little bit away so your capacitor only charges every surge the way to fix that is an power sorting or AC inverter.

What results have you gotten? Better than the original?

Isn't the energy difference at different elevations due to the amount of radiant energy already lost in the atmosphere? At sea level the atmosphere has filtered out more incident rays than at a higher altitude.

What if we combine two machines: the flying ladder wind mill and the radiant energy collectors? Essentially you have kites that fly to high altitudes which is the best spot for harnessing gusts from the jet stream and apparently also the best place to put light weight solar panels! Radiant energy flying ladder... I can see it now!

HI ALL:
Couldn't resist to comment for I had a unique opt. To test this radiant energy collector, with a disconnected radio antenna that shortly after was demolished, feel free to suggest what could've been better, my time was limited and so the quality of components for I was visiting from the USA, then again a spark I got while testing shocked the heck oit of me make me land on the muddy ground!..My finger was numb for the longest time! Cheers!

if I link a bunch of these in parallel and connect them to a transformer will it be a reliable power supply.I mean can I at least power a desk ionizer?

How do you connect it to something so I can light up a LED?

LOL positive to positive and negative to negative.TECHNO GUY????????
Think of the capacitor as a battery,see the + and - symbols?There is your clue.
Don't mean to be a jerk but maybe you should try reading a basic electronics book.

You are a little to late on answering this because I already found out how to connect it, that's how I was able to put this generator in my 'ible.

To increase power you need to increase surface are of collector and use larger insulated solid core copper or silver wire for low resistance.
Collectors of less than 1sq meter are of little use,it's all about surface area.The collector itself must be insulated and works best pointed in an upward direction at least 2 meters above the ground,the higher the better.Keep the collector away from anything that is touching ground like trees and buildings.
Building up the diode/capacitor blocks in series will increase output voltage as well.
The most important thing with radiant energy is a low resistance earth ground I cannot stress this point enough.
1- large insulated collector
2-low resistance connecting wire
3-multiple in series diode/capacitor modules with parallel capacitor storage
4-a perfect earth ground.

Resistance of a conductor is based on its material;diameter and its length.
I did not say anything about paralleling more modules, I said SERIES connect the bridge rectifier blocks.
parallel = more current capability
series = more voltage capacity
series parallel circuits give a increase of both voltage and current.But since you're still in the milli volt and milli amp stages it really doesn't apply here.

There is one other key element to a successful design I didn't mention because it's more advanced and that is RESONANCE tuning.

Oh and that perfect ground I was describing isn't all about the depth of the ground rod itself, but it's location in the ground that's much more important.
HaHa? I would hope if you reply to me next time to please do so without the sarcasm.Thank you.
Not all ground locations are created equal.

Keep trying though and one day you will learn what I've learned many decades ago.
3-6-9
1-2-3
When you figure the meaning of this sequence of numbers then you may pat yourself on the back. It's Tesla's real little secret.
PEACE

I learned about RESONANCE tuning from HHO even though I can't get it to work.
How would you tune this to get it to resonate.

What voltage does the capacitor have to be?
Feb 23, 2011. 7:51 PMtechno guy says:
Can you give some schematics so I could know how to connect it and use it as a power source?
Oct 22, 2010. 6:58 AMbeehard44 says:
can i use a supercapacitor? what about a capacitor bank with the same capacitors? like:
---()--()--()-------|<----
---()--()--()------->|-----
would that work?

a geranium diode (1n34a, 1n40 etc etc..) will work wonders! as its drop voltage and working voltage are only 0.2 volts as apposed to silicons drop voltage and working voltage 0.6 volts

The 2 capacitor upgrade schematic drawn with MS Paint merely shows that a negative potential is allowed to come from the antenna and then enter the "lower" leg of the double diode circuit first where the potential can circulate in a counterclockwise fashion charging up both caps.

The double diode portion of the circuit creates (or would create) a sort of counterclockwise circulation of the potential if the caps did not absorb it first  . . . . of course it still allows for juice to get off the  'merri-go-round" and travel to ground.

To make that circuit more efficient use ultra low loss diodes (low loss in the reverse leakage spec.). You can buy silicon diodes that have reverse loss in the picoamp and nanoamp range.

DC usually travels from cathode to anode.

Dr. T.H. Moray was a follower of Tesla and his devices in the 30's and 40's used radioactive materials to ionize the antenna diode and help start up a current flow in his circuits.

He once got 50 Kilowatts out of his box device and powered several homes for a time.


Even though old timey vacuum tubes are wasteful heating up the cathode or the heater to get thermionic emission of electrons streaming to produce "energy harvesting black boxes" like Dr. Tesla and Dr. Moray did  - -  they still have advantages over solid state devices. For power, they can't be beat as radio stations still often use large single tubes for transmitting power signals, whereas it would take thousands of little transistors to achieve the same result . . . there are 27,000 watt single transmitter tubes available still, with massive air cooling apparatus surround them.

I tried this yesterday, charging overnight, and it worked!
note that i wasnt even using a plate, but a bare piece of wire in the air.

Awesome!

Good idea with the diodes. I can think of one problem though, since diodes require a voltage drop of 0.6 in order to pass current in the forward direction, any voltage peak less than that will not go into charging the capacitor.  Its also interesting in another way, because it shows that at least some of the "frequencies"(or static as the case may be) u are picking up with the "antenna"(paper sheet with foil) exceed 0.6 of a volt. recommend using Schottky diodes if you aren't already...

I believe the AC current you are seeing are simply random bombardments of ions onto the plate you are using (im assuming you have not insulated it if its the same as the other radiant energy system on instructables). I believe Insulating the raised plate will allow for a more static interaction that creates a displacement current in the circuit itself (think of the air as one side of a capacitor (like an electrolyte) and the grounded end of the circuit (from the raise terminal down into the ground) is just the other side of the capacitor with a resistance of the circuit work is to be done on.) OO--| |---@--| (the first O is the air, the other O is the elevated terminal with the gap inbetween them being the insulating layer on the elevated terminal, then the capacitor, the @ sign is the circuit work is to be done on, and the flat end is the grounded terminal.) The conductor, your circuit, gets its electrons pushed or stretched to one side to a certain tension determined by the surfaces of the two terminals (as well as construction). Then at a desired value, a trigger activates and the dipole (your circuit) snaps back to a state of rest. (its like two work gnomes pulling a giant rubber band! XD) I may be wrong, but its just a thought :) NASA has verified Tesla's research. Yet again proving a behavioral trend, that while the NASA science community spends all thier money inventing a pressurized pen, more productive species of human simply used a pencil. Theoretically as a monopole like object you should be able to "feel" the electric field of any moving object in the universe. Your internal detection just needs to be very good. If this were not so then atoms could not function. Whats called the Z-effective is how much the electrons in the outer shells feel the effect of the nucleus through varying equipotential surfaces (orbitals). This, rigorous predictions of 3d objects with intelligence, understanding of calculus, and experimentation with magnetic and electric fields can allow a prediction of the out side world from a single point in the universe, ie: modern astronomy. (even gallileo was looking at EM in the heavens!) enough rambling..... Thank you for your time!

is there any way to wire in a transistor, and would it do any good?
Mar 14, 2009. 4:40 PMarhodes18 says:
is there is a way to do this, but charge just one capacitor instead of two?
Mar 16, 2009. 7:32 PMarhodes18 says:
oh ok, thats what i did, i just wasnt sure if it would work...
Feb 17, 2009. 9:12 PMkooler says:
the diodes kill the ac volts... use a auto coil condenser from ground to pos and then use a voltage multiplier.. i'm not sure how high you can go on the multiplier but i went to 12 volts.. but the current was real low.. so i haven't played with any more... let me know if you find a good use for it
Jan 29, 2009. 8:35 PMthe_mad_man says:
wouldn't the needed foward voltage of the diodes stop the charging or is the voltage higher enough?

cool
