In the city where I grew up there where houses near the high tension lines, quite a few generations of mental health issues from those houses in that area.
I have an antenna outside for ham radio. In the past being a little curious during a small storm I had attached a tiny christmas led light bulb to the coax line from the antenna and the led bulb would flicker and turn on at times. The energy is out there.
Get your hands on a regular TV antenna! This should get more current that could prove useful! 300V even at a few micro amps is not bad! I was trying to see if you were measuring AC or DC? But couldn't catch what the meter was set at? If the 300V was stepped down, you could achieve a usable voltage and current, and if it's charging a battery day and night! I would have that back fence covered in TV antennas! When questioned, I would complain that this is what I have to go through to get decent reception for my TV!
Its called EMF / a farmer in Texas in the 60 set up his chicken house under power lines and ran a coil on his roof and it would run his lights till a surge would come through and blow all his lights in the chicken house and the power co told him he was stealing power from the power company but there was no way to prove it
Inductive loads do use power otherwise anything behind a transformer would be "free" energy. This is just the worlds worst transformer in that form. The power companies claim is technically right, though not worth the time and the effort as power used for a couple lights is nothing. I doubt they would even spend the legal fees in fighting it.
Careful. The electronics nerds will get in an uproar about using EMF. It's already used for electromotive force, like what drives a motor. I think it's supposed to be EMW propagation. Electromagnetic wave propagation.
You are receiving the electric field coming off the powerlines. The more surface area you have the more current you will get. The higher you mount the antenna the more voltage. Your metal ladder is shorting field to ground. I used a 3 foot long coil resonated to 60 Hz and got about 3 milliamps 50 feet away from residential lines. It picked up the magnetic radiation instead of the electrical field. Don't charge up capacitors to dangerous voltage levels, it takes time but can give a lethal jolt.
@user-fz3zz6ld8j WHOAH! Dude! Did you just get finished doing CRACK! Or you just graduated college/ university...😂😂😂. The CAPS are killin' me! But yes! To some extent, aether helps. But unless you took Electrical OR Electronics... You wouldn't even BEGIN to *understand* the LIKES!
i think its very interesting your tests . i like the antennas you made as well . now the earth has its own electrical field as well . as it is struck by lighting 6,000 times a minute and 8 million times a day . how ever the earth is not a great conductor . but you can see you was getting readings from the ground . might be something to play with as well .
The reason you cannot get any return on the wood only test is that the wood is nonconductive by itself. If there was a conductive fluid (water or almost any other fluid) on or in the wood, it would allow your meter to respond. You are correct about the trees draining the energy as the wood is "wet" and it absorbs the energy because it is grounded and electricity will find the easiest way to get to ground, lust like lightning does. Keep up the great work and you now have one more subscriber.
I assume the voltage and current measurements are with respect to earth ground. What you have is two series capacitors with the power line being one plate, ground is the other, and the object on the ladder becomes a center plate forming a capacitor between it and ground and the center plate and power line. Thus you have a capacitive voltage divider. At 400V and 20 microamps the capacitive reactance is about 20 megohms. At 60 hz this translates to about 133 picofarads between the plate atop the ladder and ground. Your body forms yet another capacitor center plate between the object on the ladder and ground. The closer you stand, the greater this capacitance becomes. These capacitances in parallel add, shunting some of the current and voltage from the original cap with the ladder across it, thus lowering the measured voltage and current when standing nearby. Attempting to measure resistance of the dry board is probably greater than the highest resistance range of your DMM.
I think tapping into step potential along the ground under the lines may give you more power by measuring the voltage across two ground rods. This can be very dangerous because this ground may be carrying a high neutral current of the three phase lines. Start with grounds about 10 feet apart and be very careful if you move them apart. See step potential wiki to learn of the possible hazards before trying this. Also step potential can change drastically with soil moisture. Also see single wire earth ground (SWER) information wiki. Experimenting with this is dangerous and possibly deadly.
There is an electrostatic voltage of something like 100 volts per foot of height above ground, that supplies microamps of current depending on area...Your meter is measuring the voltage according to the current flowing thru the megohm impedance of the meter, not the actual voltage of the static source...Of course you will capture some of the field energy of the power lines but that energy falls off as the square of the distance....If you want to have some fun, find a 1Kvolt capacitor, attach a spark plug with a 0.005 inch gap, place that at the end of your wire and ground the outside of the plug and the other end of the capacitor.....
You are adding more ground reflector capacity when you get close to the circuit. So it gets out of tune when there is too much capacity. It's not about the size of the antenna. It's about the natural frequency of the antenna, it should be able to reflect about the same frequency you are trying to pick up.
Coil the wire around a plastic 2"x2' drain pipe and around a 2"x2' metal pipe both about 200 windings each. and see the difference. Use wire with the skin on the metal pipe.
Have to wonder if one conductor was closer to one of the wires and the other closer to a different one, maybe could get enough current to actually do some work.
Actually your on to something but the guy I saw used copper I belive and when he attached wool to the center of the pyramid inside the center hanging from a wire he was thrown back a hundred feet give or take when he touched it
The Vinegar and copper is adding electro-chemical and inductive properties. The vinegar contains mineral salts that will make the water a weak conductor (same as using salt water) which increases the surface area of your "antenna". The acid will also create a weak corrosive charge with the copper wire and with its larger surface area its essentially doing an open air ground loop to complete the circuit (it'll always be low as the air isn't great for moving electrons, but it is a very high resistance path). Everything else with the wire is just straight induction... basic antenna design at play. Ideally you would want to work in multiples of exactly 18.77 ft (wavelength for 60hz) although that will really depend on the distance and position from particular wires (each line will be at a different phase, so the combined reaching any particular point will require distance from each phase and angle numbers). Of course, with an oscilloscope you could just measure the frequency at points and tune accordingly. Optimal antenna design is a bit beyond my expertise, especially as at this distance it's not as simple as being a point source, and you cannot easily encapsulate the entire wire in a coil. So large coils or spiral formations are going to have sections running in ways that will cancel each other out. A long whip along the run is probably the best overall without some really complex design, either that or maybe a large sheet curved to match the approximate radius from the wire.
Telluric Currents. I think this was what Mr Tesla was playing with. They occur naturally in the earth, as well as manmade things can cause these currents. Hydro lines and Pipelines use Cathodic Protection systems to protect metals in the ground from corrosion by pumping current into the earth in high corrosion potential areas. Sometimes the currents find their way to the surface and show up in conducting materials such as fence line wire! Would be cool to see if you could hook up a solar charge controller and battery to see if you could collect a charge:)
Very good experiment, to give better results at the beginning and end of the tips of the cable, solder 3 tips of the same gauge of the cable so that a snowflake figure is formed with which you will have 6 wires around the cable center that will be in the middle and check again and you will see how the voltage increases more. All of this is a result of the ions that are in the air, as the height of the cable increases (you only need one side of the cable elevated, the other could hang so that you can review the measurement with the same configuration that you have from the rod inserted in the ground as negative (actually it is the positive but since its discovery it was thought that it was negative) and the positive will be taken from the end of the cable that you have in it. high, But be careful, every meter that the tip of the cable rises with the configuration at the snowflake tip will give more or less 100 volts, therefore if I said it 10 meters more or less it will have 1000 volts (it also depends on the quality of the cable) but the important thing is that the tip has that snowflake configuration since each tip will be used for the positive ions that are found in those tips that protrude from the tip of the cable that is above, the capacitors that it has will serve to store the electrical charge but be very careful because as I just mentioned if you raise the cable 10 meters it will be more or less 1000 volts although the amperes will be very low when storing that charge in the capacitors in the air look for ground and concentrate If you touch them if you feel a strong shock because the capacitors will be discharged in a single blow, I hope this information helps you Greetings from Mexico
I wonder what an effect it would have on a Solar Panel? Get a cheap solar panel from Harbor Freight and check the voltages and amps at various distances from the power line.
It's probably milliamps ( yeah in fact its ma or picoamps ) , you'd need a way to tank it. So capacitors and maybe induction coils. Trade voltage for amps. Personally I'd make a gigantic joule thief for this.
This video is about collector design and comparisons. Amazingly that a wood board with a tiny wire, can put out the same or more than a big conductor, as demonstrated towards the end of this video showing shorted current and voltage. There are previous videos I put out that show loads if that's what you're interested in. You just need to watch through the whole videos.
Why not show us Voltage and amperage together? Of course, when there is a short circuit, the volts come near to 0, depending on the resistance and impédance of the whole circuit, as we are in AC there are induction in wire loops, and capacitance between conductors, that is what happens when your body is close to the circuit, you are a part of it. Is the frequency 60 Hz?
I'm happy I found your channel 🤙 I'm curious....🤔 Are you familiar with electric culture, 🍀⚡? You may not be interested in the cultivation of plants but there are several designs that I believe may assist you in the obtaining of information regarding some of your experiments. ✌️⚡🖖 Much love from North Carolina.
I think if you do the same thing with a regular dry board with no electrolyte you'll likely get the same readings. The board is probably doing a better job of insulating the wire from the ladder's interaction with the field than the styrofoam does. Anything on the ground including the trees, people, the ladder, the grass, mostly anything will extend the ground's influence on the field. ElectroBOOM and Plasma Channel did great videos on this a few years ago, and powered a little static electric motor. lasersaber even built a longwire-powered atmomotor so powerful it could drill small holes in wood. Not even under a power line. You should check their videos out, but I love seeing someone actually try a bunch of different objects in different scenarios. Nice job! As for the wind, I'd consider whether it's causing any movement in the overhead cable, and also the triboelectric interaction of the air and its contents (dust, humidity, etc) with the materials you're using.
A board without added electrolyte, might do the same thing. -(I started thinking I should try that also, though there are natural electrolytes in the wood too). The ladder is fiberglass which is a non-conductor, and it has a plastic top step. In the video I also turned the board over, so the nails and wire were in contact with the styrofoam, and got the same readings. Thanks for the comment.
@@doubleMinnovations Nothing is truly a non-conductor, some things just need more voltage than others to pass the same amount of current. What I'm really saying though isn't so much about conductivity/resistivity as it is about the shapes of bodies interacting with the electric field. You already verified that your board is not measurably conductive to your meter, yet its presence is changing something. Do it on a wooden ladder instead, you'll get different readings. Do it at the same height in the same location as the top of the ladder was, but without the ladder under it, like on the center of a long board supported at the ends. You'll get different readings again. Use something besides wood, different readings. Unwrap the beach ball and put it near the wire. It'll change your readings yet again, even though it's plastic. I admit metals and magnets likely have a *stronger* influence, but every single atom nearby is having an influence. If you want to minimize that influence I'd consider suspending the whole experiment further off of the ground using a minimal number of something like fishing lines. As always, I appreciate you taking the time to answer. Thank you.
Follow on thought just occurred to me: if you measured the current from all the objects, I'm guessing that the foil wrapped beach ball would win for amps and watts, even though the copper wire on the board has less resistance so higher voltage.
could you use a regulator or step down transformer to charge a battery? Or, store enough charge in your vinegar batteries to be useful for a low power project? ...also wondering if wood is yielding more than aluminum, where would copper (old bit of pipe if you have some) or coax sit on the scale of things??
I would suggest watching the other videos I have on these subjects. There's small amounts of energy available, but there's only so much energy available for a spacial area. So the many different metals and wires I tried, the weak acid treated wood is so much easier and cheaper to construct.
@doubleMinnovations Try this with different sizes of copper and steel pipe, and metal conduit. Also try with cast iron objects, such as cookware or tools. Copper and steel sheet may be interesting too. About the trees. You seem to be holding the camera with your left hand and moving things with your right hand. When you move objects from right to left with your right hand, your right hand moves across your body and ends up closer to your body on the left side. It may not be the trees skewing your results.
This is induction I think is the word its how transformers work the coils induct a different voltage higher or lower than the primary voltage.. Please study this more before you play around much more.. Those transmission lines are carrying hundreds of thousands of volts to reduce loss.. Be careful or you may end up a charred spot on the ground.. What your playing with if you knew a bit more could easily power your home and no one would notice....
It would take a lot of wire to capture enough electricity to power his house. And, the power company would notice the loss. I don't know if they could charge him with stealing power if the equipment is not on the power companies property. He could argue that they allowed the magnetic field to enter his property and what he did with it was none of their business.
awesome work here! would you be interested in coming on 1 of my #RealScience Podcasts? or My Free Energy Fridays panel livestreams? lots of parallel work with the team of us working together now.
You're doing great stretching out that inductor performing capacitance with that power line grid above you there acids or jars or any other type of capacitor will add storage for your antenna putting oscilloscope I guarantee it's 60 Hertz off that power grid.....
Interesting. What happens if you keep your conductors horizontal but turn them perpendicular to the power lines? Also, what changes occur if you make the conductor vertical (prop it on end next to the ladder)?
The voltage changes depending how far it is overall from the power line. If one end is brought close to the ground, the voltage really drops, and if it touches the ground, it just grounds it out.
@doubleMinnovations About the trees. I notice you are holding the camera in your left hand while moving things with your right hand. When you move your right hand to your left side, it crosses your body and is closer to your body than when your right hand is extended. The trees may or may not be interfering with your results, but the greater impact is the proximity to your body. Also, try this experiment with different metals and different shapes. Copper and steel pipe of different sizes, cast iron cookware, steel and iron tools. Copper and steel sheet would also be interesting. When experimenting with metal or wire, sand down to the actual bare metal at your connection point to remove any insulating coatings such as grease, acrylic, lacquer, epoxy or paint.
Is one lead of the volt meter connected to a ground rod? What is the difference in voltage/current measured in a wire mounted on a board with vinegar wash and without vinegar wash?
Yes, one lead is connected to a ground. See some of my other videos. With the wood, it really seems to be the type of wood that's being used. With green treated lumber, the vinegar didn't do anything additional. With plain pine lumber, it was showing an increase of around 10%, With dry cedar it was showing over 20% increase. Seems to be determined by the moisture content in the wood with the natural electrolytes or added ones.
The Vinegar is a wast of time. A long wire, and a good ground return is all you need to extract electricity, and then use a step down transformer of appropriate size to use power.
Two things: 1.) What you're doing here is technically RF. High power lines alternate at 50 Hz. Fashion an antenna 22.3 ft long and it will tune perfectly with the "radio." 2.) Voltage is NOT power. Put a load on it and measure current. Power = IV.
"RF' means 'radio frequency.' 60Hz power is what we have here, which is nowhere near that. I have other videos that harness radio waves, if you're interested in that. -they show the volts x amps through a load. Other videos I have for collected stray electricity from power lines also show volts x amps through a load. This video is about the unconventional collector design of a wood board with tiny wire.
So one of ur videos had me thinkin, my pond is right by the railroad tracks, and theres olld unused telephone lines ran there, wires still there, say i put a ground rod in the pond wouldnt thoae telepjone lines have power? There side by side conductors like u had goin from roof to barn. Im in nd btw
If the wires on the poles are insulated from any grounding effect, there could be something between the wires on the poles and a pond ground. What could it hurt to test it? Best wishes!
Just don't ask the company if you're allowed to do that, because the answer will be a resounding no. I watched the video here on YT, and the guy was talking about his friend, asking similar question about radio waves, and he got an answer that it is forbidden. So the solution is obviously not asking in the first place:) Is the wind moving the conductor wires above? If so, that could affect your readings, because what you're picking up is obviously some kind of induction. And the trees around are just sucking their share of electroculture, with or without antennas. But I see no reason why you would be able to read the resistance of dry wood, regardless of it being soaked in electrolyte or not as long as it is dry. Adding some water would probably change that. But your reading was from the wire, not the board anyway. It's normal that the wire functions as an antenna, so you could maybe check online antenna calculators to find out which lengths you could try for 50Hz, if that's what you have got in your area. If the conductors above are not insulated, the best harvesting method would be a metal hook attached to the thick cable, and if they are insulated metal hook, but sharpened, so you hook it up, hold on tight to the cable, and jump from the ladder, and after couple of swings you'll have te contact. Don't worry, you'll know exactly when:) Just kidding, keep up the good work!
yes, you can collect energy from hv powerline. it won't be stray, you're taking power away from the line. one would argue at which point you exceed natural loss. there is no foiled ball, eps foam, pickled boards, rainpipes and other things needed. there is more energy up you do, but eventually you die. there is also more energy depends on turns. and induction is along the wires so align your coil that way
Found this a while ago. The electric potential gradient of the atmosphere On an ordinary day over flat desert country, or over the sea, as one goes upward from the surface of the ground the electric potential increases by about 100 volts per meter. Thus there is a vertical electric field E of 100 volts/m in the air. The sign of the field corresponds to a negative charge on the earth’s surface. This means that outdoors the potential at the height of your nose is 200 volts higher than the potential at your feet! You might ask: “Why don’t we just stick a pair of electrodes out in the air one meter apart and use the 100 volts to power our electric lights?” Or you might wonder: “If there is really a potential difference of 200 volts between my nose and my feet, why is it I don’t get a shock when I go out into the street?” Although the electric current-density in the air is only a few micromicroamperes per square meter, there are very many square meters on the earth’s surface. The total electric current reaching the earth’s surface at any time is very nearly constant at 1800 amperes. This current, of course, is “positive”-it carries plus charges to the earth. So we have a voltage supply of 400,000 volts with a current of 1800 amperes-a power of 700 megawatts! The current in a lightning stroke is about 10,000 amperes at its peak, and it carries down about 20 coulombs. www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/II_09.html
Thanks, I have done a little with that in another video, but nothing impressive. Need to have a big ballon. -but then I suppose it would get shot down...
The short answer is no, wood is not 'conductive. ' However, the main components of wood are lignin and different kinds of cellulose. This means that it does not have the free electrons that are usually required for an electrical charge to pass through a material. wood is an insulator, as long as its not contaminated wet ect.
I really don't think that a dried acid on wood is doing much. Anyway, you were getting up toward 480v even though amps were in the micro range. So, what about a "property fence" of four 480v wires in parallel ?
You are close to high voltage electricity cables. These radiate an electromagnetic field. Any conductor in this field will have a voltage induced in it. This will drop off the further away you are from the high voltage cables. As you observed, various things will effect this electromagnetic field such as you own body being close to the conductor. This is not free energy as it comes from the electricity grid. If you had made an efficient system to harvest this electricity then you would, in fact, be stealing from the power grid.
@@0987-t4f I wish it worked that way, but it doesn't seem to. I think maybe more electricity(electromagnetic field) would pour into what he had taken. It would be a minuscule amount, but what the poster said above would still be the case.
Try using some chicken wire.If it's capacitive coupling the extra surface area should get the volts up a bit as well as the current. A bridge rectifier and a cap might get you enough to run an electric fence. If not that much you could possibly use it to recharge a battery. All sorts of possible ways of getting, a little bit, of free power. It might not be much but it's cheaper than running a copper cable back to the ole homestead. 🖖👍🇦🇺
I was comparing voltages with the other setups I tried. Higher voltages result in higher currents. Towards the end of this video I did a volt amperage comparison with a big metal conductor.
In some of my earlier videos I show electricity being collected from radio waves. -a couple of milliwatts, but enough to run some small pulse motors, and LED lights that are still on today. Thanks for watching!
That has been done before. It is just the current in the overhead lines acting like a transformer primary, and your setup is the secondary. Just make more loops of your line and you will collect more power, with a higher voltage. Just notes that if you draw power from this for your house etc it is essentially theft. Also, it is detectable by the power company with their fault detection systems, and they can locate it to your property.
@@doubleMinnovationssaw a vid many years ago, guy built a pyramid of copper and hung a pice of wool suspended in the middle and got blown back many feet! U should look into the pyramid designs!!
@doubleMinnovations but you indicate that the proximity of the trees and yourself affects conductivity. Edit: I love what you're doing and am fascinated by the experiments. I don't know much about these things, and it seems like this implicates recovering lost electricity
The trees are alive with natural electrolytes, and are grounded. -They are grounding out the charges all around themselves. My body is also full of natural electrolytes, and am grounded somewhat depending on the current moistures between mean and the ground. If I stand on styrofoam, my whole body gets charged, like I showed in another video. It all depends what and how much something is grounded. I'm calling it 'stray electricity', because it's strayed outside of the power line corridor. Thanks for the interest!
Paul from channel "www.youtube.com/@INVENTOR3" has done a lot of that in the past. It might interest you. I've been kind of going in a different direction.
@@doubleMinnovations Any HAM operator will explain length of wire RE frequency. It's not how much voltage but the increased (usable) current from it. What I perceive is static current you are measuring and it has to be really high to have measurable value. I encourage you to continue by all means. And I offer no criticism, just encouragement. Think a dozen coils, paralleled along the length you are currently using. I asked a lineman why there were rubber strips from his axles to the ground. He replied to discharge the static voltage built up during the day. A half amp can kill you. But makes a lousy power source. I was developing a product using wireless power to recharge the built in non accessible batteries. QI consortium specs. Up to 15 watts from a 1.5 by 2.5 antenna transmitter receiver pair. They were in close proximity, but you have the advantage of a relatively large field. I realize you are basically probing this field, but Tesla did it long ago.
The vinegar soaked board is doing essentially nothing. Just drive nails on both ends but leave the wire off. You should read virtually nothing but maybe a little bit of voltage picked up by the meter wires. Wood, vinegar or not, is a terrible conductor. But the copper wire is a very good conductor. There is an electromagnetic field around the power lines but it decreases exponentially wit distance. But it can still induce voltage potential in conductors passing through the field. That is what you are seeing. You should try going out at night with long fluorescent bulbs. They should glow! Generally what you are doing is relatively safe, but you are in that field and you are conducting a very small part of that field to ground, which is why you see the voltage in the wire drop when you are close by. You create an effect similar to what the rooted trees and bushes do, but they are better grounded although less conductive than a human meat bag! Instantaneous current should be quite low but it can probably charge a capacitor over time if you use diodes to rectify it to DC. It might be interesting to build a circuit with an LED. you probably can't get quite enough current to light the LED continuously, but probably could use it to charge a capacitor and ten trigger it to flash the LED. I can't began to guess at component values but LEDs are typically around 1.8 to 3 volts. A transistor cold be used to trigger the LED when the charge voltage gets high enough. In theory, you could automatically cycle it from charge to flash. You can push LEDS to higher voltages very briefly. I think it would be pretty cool to have a string of these little LED flasher circuits set up to flash in thee dark. I don't have any high enough voltage lines nearby to try this. But I think it would be pretty cool! Be safe! Read up a bit and have a good idea what to expect. I think the energy levels are potentially enough to build a pretty good charge on a capacitor which could be dangerous.
These stray voltages don't generate enough power to do any useful work. With the numbers in this video (voltage & current), he's getting about 6 milliwatts of power. Even the smallest LED light needs 10x that much power.
Your long wires are forming an air transformer with the power line. You can improve your setup to suck usable energy from the power. In the 50s a farmer near to us thought to do this very thing and it worked well. However, the power company has sensitive equipment watching their lines, they will detect any significant power loss and will come investigating. They will find your setup and unlease their hoard of lawyers loose on you. They knew how much energy the poor farmer had vampired from their lines, plus theft charges and whatever else they can think of. They sent the poor farmer to prison. All for enough energy to run a icebox, a couple of lightbulbs, and a radio. While it's fun to experiment and dream, don't really do it. It's not worth the trouble it brings. Even small power companies have the equipment to do this, otherwise parasitic loses would destpry their profits.
YEAH...there was a guy who built a truck that had a bank of large batteries in it with a coil that could be raised up enough to get enough power to recharge the batteries and he would park the truck under the HT lines and....well.....he ran much of his house on these batteries and he was finally caught and told that he had to stop or they would charge him with theft of the electricity. Because he was doing this intermittently, it was hard to catch him but they did.....pretty ingenious, though
This has been addressed hundreds of times in some of my other videos. For these power lines; within the easement, the terms are that there can be no trees or buildings; but there can be fences. -thats in my first video on this subject. These lastest experiments are out of the easement, and I could put a metal build right there if I wanted to and ground it. I didn't I planted trees. What's happening is a weak capacitive link. What's available is tiny amounts of power. Much less than a watt. It's a curiosity that just sets some people off...
The "poor famer" was still stealing. Imagine if we all did that? (As I hear there's a big issue with people tapping the lines in India, wouldn't surprise me if it's like that in South Africa too)
@AdamBechtol I wasn't calling him poor in sympathy. He was actually very poor. He could not afford the REA fee to run a line to his house for hookup. It was around $1000 in then money, nearly enough to buy a new automobile. But as the movie says, "He chose poorly.".
@ktownjunkie It's a psi op. If everyone did it, we wouldn't be in an energy crisis because of demand and all anyone would need to do is make their own battery out of simple electrolytes. It is why the witch hunts started, Nikola was ousted, and weed, crack, and meth were highest on the drug war list. Feds would make you believe it is government regulated and funded, but then make you pay bills after and collect on those taxes, too. They could have made all the infrastructure independant with a Darwin turbine at every telephone pole for less than $1200, and yet they'll make sure they pack their bags and sting you with garbage equipment potentially costing more than a Darwin unit, and human life, then continue to tell you they're underfunded because they have to pay bills, too, and then can't carry their own equipment or it is illegal and botches their own case without extensive paperwork where someone could claim harassment and assault while an agent isn't using federally regulated equipment.
This shows how strong the electric fields are around the hv power like lines. Not healthy thing. If you where able to transform the voltage down to a usable voltage/current... You would get fined if caught. Interesting but not useful.
Ohhhhh....here's another one! Have you heard of what the nasa scientist discovered about earth gravity fuel less propulsion? He even told you how to do it! Styrofoam, Teflon and copper I believe. Make it happen bro!!!

Careful. The electronics nerds will get in an uproar about using EMF. It's already used for electromotive force, like what drives a motor.
I think it's supposed to be EMW propagation. Electromagnetic wave propagation.
@@hgbugalou they did take him to court for stealing power even though they could not prove how much he was using
Alternatively you could claim the electricity company is contaminating his land with EMF.
You are receiving the electric field coming off the powerlines. The more surface area you have the more current you will get. The higher you mount the antenna the more voltage. Your metal ladder is shorting field to ground. I used a 3 foot long coil resonated to 60 Hz and got about 3 milliamps 50 feet away from residential lines. It picked up the magnetic radiation instead of the electrical field. Don't charge up capacitors to dangerous voltage levels, it takes time but can give a lethal jolt.
Theft by induction.
The magnetic field is really strong, that's why. (High Voltages) Imagine how your 'body' feels... from the FREQUENCIES.
ITS CALLED AETHER !!!!!
@user-fz3zz6ld8j WHOAH! Dude! Did you just get finished doing CRACK! Or you just graduated college/ university...😂😂😂. The CAPS are killin' me! But yes! To some extent, aether helps. But unless you took Electrical OR Electronics... You wouldn't even BEGIN to *understand* the LIKES!
i think its very interesting your tests . i like the antennas you made as well . now the earth has its own electrical field as well . as it is struck by lighting 6,000 times a minute and 8 million times a day . how ever the earth is not a great conductor . but you can see you was getting readings from the ground . might be something to play with as well .
The reason you cannot get any return on the wood only test is that the wood is nonconductive by itself. If there was a conductive fluid (water or almost any other fluid) on or in the wood, it would allow your meter to respond.
You are correct about the trees draining the energy as the wood is "wet" and it absorbs the energy because it is grounded and electricity will find the easiest way to get to ground, lust like lightning does.
Keep up the great work and you now have one more subscriber.
I assume the voltage and current measurements are with respect to earth ground. What you have is two series capacitors with the power line being one plate, ground is the other, and the object on the ladder becomes a center plate forming a capacitor between it and ground and the center plate and power line. Thus you have a capacitive voltage divider. At 400V and 20 microamps the capacitive reactance is about 20 megohms. At 60 hz this translates to about 133 picofarads between the plate atop the ladder and ground. Your body forms yet another capacitor center plate between the object on the ladder and ground. The closer you stand, the greater this capacitance becomes. These capacitances in parallel add, shunting some of the current and voltage from the original cap with the ladder across it, thus lowering the measured voltage and current when standing nearby. Attempting to measure resistance of the dry board is probably greater than the highest resistance range of your DMM.
I think tapping into step potential along the ground under the lines may give you more power by measuring the voltage across two ground rods. This can be very dangerous because this ground may be carrying a high neutral current of the three phase lines. Start with grounds about 10 feet apart and be very careful if you move them apart. See step potential wiki to learn of the possible hazards before trying this. Also step potential can change drastically with soil moisture. Also see single wire earth ground (SWER) information wiki. Experimenting with this is dangerous and possibly deadly.
Very interesting. Thanks for commenting!
There is an electrostatic voltage of something like 100 volts per foot of height above ground, that supplies microamps of current depending on area...Your meter is measuring the voltage according to the current flowing thru the megohm impedance of the meter, not the actual voltage of the static source...Of course you will capture some of the field energy
of the power lines but that energy falls off as the square of the distance....If you want to have some fun, find a 1Kvolt capacitor, attach a spark plug with a 0.005 inch gap, place that at the end of your wire and ground the outside of the plug and the other end of the capacitor.....
You should connect a HV capacitor and bridge rectifier between positive and neg to ground and add a load something like an incandescent bulb to test
Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and test results: always very interesting.
My pleasure!
You are adding more ground reflector capacity when you get close to the circuit. So it gets out of tune when there is too much capacity.
It's not about the size of the antenna. It's about the natural frequency of the antenna, it should be able to reflect about the same frequency you are trying to pick up.
You have a moving magnetic field crossing a wire, which is a reflector. Try it without the board.
Coil the wire around a plastic 2"x2' drain pipe and around a 2"x2' metal pipe both about 200 windings each. and see the difference. Use wire with the skin on the metal pipe.
Have to wonder if one conductor was closer to one of the wires and the other closer to a different one, maybe could get enough current to actually do some work.

The Vinegar and copper is adding electro-chemical and inductive properties. The vinegar contains mineral salts that will make the water a weak conductor (same as using salt water) which increases the surface area of your "antenna". The acid will also create a weak corrosive charge with the copper wire and with its larger surface area its essentially doing an open air ground loop to complete the circuit (it'll always be low as the air isn't great for moving electrons, but it is a very high resistance path).
Everything else with the wire is just straight induction... basic antenna design at play. Ideally you would want to work in multiples of exactly 18.77 ft (wavelength for 60hz) although that will really depend on the distance and position from particular wires (each line will be at a different phase, so the combined reaching any particular point will require distance from each phase and angle numbers). Of course, with an oscilloscope you could just measure the frequency at points and tune accordingly.
Optimal antenna design is a bit beyond my expertise, especially as at this distance it's not as simple as being a point source, and you cannot easily encapsulate the entire wire in a coil. So large coils or spiral formations are going to have sections running in ways that will cancel each other out. A long whip along the run is probably the best overall without some really complex design, either that or maybe a large sheet curved to match the approximate radius from the wire.
Telluric Currents. I think this was what Mr Tesla was playing with. They occur naturally in the earth, as well as manmade things can cause these currents. Hydro lines and Pipelines use Cathodic Protection systems to protect metals in the ground from corrosion by pumping current into the earth in high corrosion potential areas. Sometimes the currents find their way to the surface and show up in conducting materials such as fence line wire! Would be cool to see if you could hook up a solar charge controller and battery to see if you could collect a charge:)
Very good experiment, to give better results at the beginning and end of the tips of the cable, solder 3 tips of the same gauge of the cable so that a snowflake figure is formed with which you will have 6 wires around the cable center that will be in the middle and check again and you will see how the voltage increases more. All of this is a result of the ions that are in the air, as the height of the cable increases (you only need one side of the cable elevated, the other could hang so that you can review the measurement with the same configuration that you have from the rod inserted in the ground as negative (actually it is the positive but since its discovery it was thought that it was negative) and the positive will be taken from the end of the cable that you have in it. high, But be careful, every meter that the tip of the cable rises with the configuration at the snowflake tip will give more or less 100 volts, therefore if I said it 10 meters more or less it will have 1000 volts (it also depends on the quality of the cable) but the important thing is that the tip has that snowflake configuration since each tip will be used for the positive ions that are found in those tips that protrude from the tip of the cable that is above, the capacitors that it has will serve to store the electrical charge but be very careful because as I just mentioned if you raise the cable 10 meters it will be more or less 1000 volts although the amperes will be very low when storing that charge in the capacitors in the air look for ground and concentrate If you touch them if you feel a strong shock because the capacitors will be discharged in a single blow, I hope this information helps you Greetings from Mexico
Beware deadly shocks, from capacitors!!!
With everything being the same, the current will be a function of the area of the collector conductor.
I wonder what an effect it would have on a Solar Panel? Get a cheap solar panel from Harbor Freight and check the voltages and amps at various distances from the power line.
Tell us about the AMPERAGE.
It's probably milliamps ( yeah in fact its ma or picoamps ) , you'd need a way to tank it. So capacitors and maybe induction coils. Trade voltage for amps.
Personally I'd make a gigantic joule thief for this.
@@RoboArc 🤣
This video is about collector design and comparisons. Amazingly that a wood board with a tiny wire, can put out the same or more than a big conductor, as demonstrated towards the end of this video showing shorted current and voltage. There are previous videos I put out that show loads if that's what you're interested in. You just need to watch through the whole videos.
@@doubleMinnovations Hey did you think about using longer galvanized nails on the longer board to have a longer expanse between the nails?
Why not show us Voltage and amperage together? Of course, when there is a short circuit, the volts come near to 0, depending on the resistance and impédance of the whole circuit, as we are in AC there are induction in wire loops, and capacitance between conductors, that is what happens when your body is close to the circuit, you are a part of it. Is the frequency 60 Hz?
I'm happy I found your channel 🤙 I'm curious....🤔 Are you familiar with electric culture,
🍀⚡?
You may not be interested in the cultivation of plants but there are several designs that I believe may assist you in the obtaining of information regarding some of your experiments. ✌️⚡🖖
Much love from North Carolina.
I think if you do the same thing with a regular dry board with no electrolyte you'll likely get the same readings. The board is probably doing a better job of insulating the wire from the ladder's interaction with the field than the styrofoam does. Anything on the ground including the trees, people, the ladder, the grass, mostly anything will extend the ground's influence on the field. ElectroBOOM and Plasma Channel did great videos on this a few years ago, and powered a little static electric motor. lasersaber even built a longwire-powered atmomotor so powerful it could drill small holes in wood. Not even under a power line. You should check their videos out, but I love seeing someone actually try a bunch of different objects in different scenarios. Nice job!
As for the wind, I'd consider whether it's causing any movement in the overhead cable, and also the triboelectric interaction of the air and its contents (dust, humidity, etc) with the materials you're using.
A board without added electrolyte, might do the same thing. -(I started thinking I should try that also, though there are natural electrolytes in the wood too). The ladder is fiberglass which is a non-conductor, and it has a plastic top step. In the video I also turned the board over, so the nails and wire were in contact with the styrofoam, and got the same readings. Thanks for the comment.
@@doubleMinnovations Nothing is truly a non-conductor, some things just need more voltage than others to pass the same amount of current. What I'm really saying though isn't so much about conductivity/resistivity as it is about the shapes of bodies interacting with the electric field. You already verified that your board is not measurably conductive to your meter, yet its presence is changing something. Do it on a wooden ladder instead, you'll get different readings. Do it at the same height in the same location as the top of the ladder was, but without the ladder under it, like on the center of a long board supported at the ends. You'll get different readings again. Use something besides wood, different readings. Unwrap the beach ball and put it near the wire. It'll change your readings yet again, even though it's plastic. I admit metals and magnets likely have a *stronger* influence, but every single atom nearby is having an influence.
If you want to minimize that influence I'd consider suspending the whole experiment further off of the ground using a minimal number of something like fishing lines.
As always, I appreciate you taking the time to answer. Thank you.
Follow on thought just occurred to me: if you measured the current from all the objects, I'm guessing that the foil wrapped beach ball would win for amps and watts, even though the copper wire on the board has less resistance so higher voltage.
i'd have the best Christmas lights all year long if i were you.
Eventually I'll have something set up to operate continuously....
could you use a regulator or step down transformer to charge a battery? Or, store enough charge in your vinegar batteries to be useful for a low power project?
...also wondering if wood is yielding more than aluminum, where would copper (old bit of pipe if you have some) or coax sit on the scale of things??
I would suggest watching the other videos I have on these subjects. There's small amounts of energy available, but there's only so much energy available for a spacial area. So the many different metals and wires I tried, the weak acid treated wood is so much easier and cheaper to construct.
@doubleMinnovations Try this with different sizes of copper and steel pipe, and metal conduit. Also try with cast iron objects, such as cookware or tools. Copper and steel sheet may be interesting too.
About the trees. You seem to be holding the camera with your left hand and moving things with your right hand. When you move objects from right to left with your right hand, your right hand moves across your body and ends up closer to your body on the left side. It may not be the trees skewing your results.
Testlas Warden Cliff was a bigger version...

Also in the dirt produces voltage too !!!
This is induction I think is the word its how transformers work the coils induct a different voltage higher or lower than the primary voltage.. Please study this more before you play around much more.. Those transmission lines are carrying hundreds of thousands of volts to reduce loss.. Be careful or you may end up a charred spot on the ground.. What your playing with if you knew a bit more could easily power your home and no one would notice....
It would take a lot of wire to capture enough electricity to power his house. And, the power company would notice the loss. I don't know if they could charge him with stealing power if the equipment is not on the power companies property. He could argue that they allowed the magnetic field to enter his property and what he did with it was none of their business.
awesome work here! would you be interested in coming on 1 of my #RealScience Podcasts? or My Free Energy Fridays panel livestreams? lots of parallel work with the team of us working together now.
Have you tried to send wire up on a drone away from the powerlines? Its interesting experiment with that. Good work sir
That is 1 wind gust away from disaster and a big bill from the utility. I would not advise this.
You're doing great stretching out that inductor performing capacitance with that power line grid above you there acids or jars or any other type of capacitor will add storage for your antenna putting oscilloscope I guarantee it's 60 Hertz off that power grid.....
No. It's not just 50/60Hz, this frequency varies with the load on the grid generators.
Interesting. What happens if you keep your conductors horizontal but turn them perpendicular to the power lines? Also, what changes occur if you make the conductor vertical (prop it on end next to the ladder)?
The voltage changes depending how far it is overall from the power line. If one end is brought close to the ground, the voltage really drops, and if it touches the ground, it just grounds it out.
@@doubleMinnovations Cool.Thanks for sharing.
@doubleMinnovations About the trees. I notice you are holding the camera in your left hand while moving things with your right hand. When you move your right hand to your left side, it crosses your body and is closer to your body than when your right hand is extended. The trees may or may not be interfering with your results, but the greater impact is the proximity to your body.
Also, try this experiment with different metals and different shapes. Copper and steel pipe of different sizes, cast iron cookware, steel and iron tools. Copper and steel sheet would also be interesting. When experimenting with metal or wire, sand down to the actual bare metal at your connection point to remove any insulating coatings such as grease, acrylic, lacquer, epoxy or paint.

Is one lead of the volt meter connected to a ground rod? What is the difference in voltage/current measured in a wire mounted on a board with vinegar wash and without vinegar wash?
Yes, one lead is connected to a ground. See some of my other videos. With the wood, it really seems to be the type of wood that's being used. With green treated lumber, the vinegar didn't do anything additional. With plain pine lumber, it was showing an increase of around 10%, With dry cedar it was showing over 20% increase. Seems to be determined by the moisture content in the wood with the natural electrolytes or added ones.
Have you tried connecting a charge controller to one of your experiments to see if you can charge a battery? Now THAT would be worth your time.
Great experiment!
Modern day Benjamin Franklin!
The Vinegar is a wast of time. A long wire, and a good ground return is all you need to extract electricity, and then use a step down transformer of appropriate size to use power.
If you installed diodes in series with your wire on poles would the voltage add?
this is amazing to me
Can you harvest this electricity for tou home use?
Always Good to Watch Your Inspirations👍👍👍
I appreciate that!
Two things: 1.) What you're doing here is technically RF. High power lines alternate at 50 Hz. Fashion an antenna 22.3 ft long and it will tune perfectly with the "radio." 2.) Voltage is NOT power. Put a load on it and measure current. Power = IV.
"RF' means 'radio frequency.' 60Hz power is what we have here, which is nowhere near that. I have other videos that harness radio waves, if you're interested in that. -they show the volts x amps through a load. Other videos I have for collected stray electricity from power lines also show volts x amps through a load. This video is about the unconventional collector design of a wood board with tiny wire.
Probably will end up missing showing this to people bro
So one of ur videos had me thinkin, my pond is right by the railroad tracks, and theres olld unused telephone lines ran there, wires still there, say i put a ground rod in the pond wouldnt thoae telepjone lines have power? There side by side conductors like u had goin from roof to barn. Im in nd btw
If the wires on the poles are insulated from any grounding effect, there could be something between the wires on the poles and a pond ground. What could it hurt to test it? Best wishes!
@@doubleMinnovations what would be a safe way to test?
@@doubleMinnovations do i dare get a ladder and my voltmeter and connect black lead to pond ground rod and touch telephone wire with red lead?
Just don't ask the company if you're allowed to do that, because the answer will be a resounding no. I watched the video here on YT, and the guy was talking about his friend, asking similar question about radio waves, and he got an answer that it is forbidden. So the solution is obviously not asking in the first place:)
Is the wind moving the conductor wires above? If so, that could affect your readings, because what you're picking up is obviously some kind of induction.
And the trees around are just sucking their share of electroculture, with or without antennas. But I see no reason why you would be able to read the resistance of dry wood, regardless of it being soaked in electrolyte or not as long as it is dry. Adding some water would probably change that. But your reading was from the wire, not the board anyway. It's normal that the wire functions as an antenna, so you could maybe check online antenna calculators to find out which lengths you could try for 50Hz, if that's what you have got in your area.
If the conductors above are not insulated, the best harvesting method would be a metal hook attached to the thick cable, and if they are insulated metal hook, but sharpened, so you hook it up, hold on tight to the cable, and jump from the ladder, and after couple of swings you'll have te contact. Don't worry, you'll know exactly when:)
Just kidding, keep up the good work!
yes, you can collect energy from hv powerline. it won't be stray, you're taking power away from the line. one would argue at which point you exceed natural loss. there is no foiled ball, eps foam, pickled boards, rainpipes and other things needed. there is more energy up you do, but eventually you die. there is also more energy depends on turns. and induction is along the wires so align your coil that way
Ive made graphene onto wood with my laser engraver , betcha that would work in an interdigitated capacitor array 🤔
I haven't seen an interdigitated capacitor since the last time I performed a degabulation of the interseptular marzelvanes in a turbo encabulator.
Found this a while ago. The electric potential gradient of the atmosphere
On an ordinary day over flat desert country, or over the sea, as one goes upward from the surface of the ground the electric potential increases by about 100 volts per meter. Thus there is a vertical electric field E of 100 volts/m in the air. The sign of the field corresponds to a negative charge on the earth’s surface. This means that outdoors the potential at the height of your nose is 200 volts higher than the potential at your feet! You might ask: “Why don’t we just stick a pair of electrodes out in the air one meter apart and use the 100 volts to power our electric lights?” Or you might wonder: “If there is really a potential difference of 200 volts between my nose and my feet, why is it I don’t get a shock when I go out into the street?”
Although the electric current-density in the air is only a few micromicroamperes per square meter, there are very many square meters on the earth’s surface. The total electric current reaching the earth’s surface at any time is very nearly constant at 1800 amperes. This current, of course, is “positive”-it carries plus charges to the earth. So we have a voltage supply of 400,000 volts with a current of 1800 amperes-a power of 700 megawatts!
The current in a lightning stroke is about 10,000 amperes at its peak, and it carries down about 20 coulombs.

The short answer is no, wood is not 'conductive. ' However, the main components of wood are lignin and different kinds of cellulose. This means that it does not have the free electrons that are usually required for an electrical charge to pass through a material. wood is an insulator, as long as its not contaminated wet ect.
COILS!
*This is the way.*
I really don't think that a dried acid on wood is doing much. Anyway, you were getting up toward 480v even though amps were in the micro range. So, what about a "property fence" of four 480v wires in parallel ?
You are close to high voltage electricity cables. These radiate an electromagnetic field. Any conductor in this field will have a voltage induced in it. This will drop off the further away you are from the high voltage cables. As you observed, various things will effect this electromagnetic field such as you own body being close to the conductor. This is not free energy as it comes from the electricity grid. If you had made an efficient system to harvest this electricity then you would, in fact, be stealing from the power grid.
If that electricity is going to the ground, he would just be harvesting the grids trash,
Mmmm

Such a robery XD.. harvesting em field?s.. you aksing for it..
Try using some chicken wire.If it's capacitive coupling the extra surface area should get the volts up a bit as well as the current. A bridge rectifier and a cap might get you enough to run an electric fence. If not that much you could possibly use it to recharge a battery. All sorts of possible ways of getting, a little bit, of free power. It might not be much but it's cheaper than running a copper cable back to the ole homestead. 🖖👍🇦🇺
Great... you could have a million volts but it would not power anything without amperage pushing it...
But are you getting any current AKA amps?
You should get a couple 12/120 volt transformers out there and see what you get.
at 5:38, aren't you just measuring the voltage captured by the wire?
I was comparing voltages with the other setups I tried. Higher voltages result in higher currents. Towards the end of this video I did a volt amperage comparison with a big metal conductor.
How many amps?

I love how Americans say ruff instead of roof.
That has been done before. It is just the current in the overhead lines acting like a transformer primary, and your setup is the secondary. Just make more loops of your line and you will collect more power, with a higher voltage. Just notes that if you draw power from this for your house etc it is essentially theft. Also, it is detectable by the power company with their fault detection systems, and they can locate it to your property.

@doubleMinnovations but you indicate that the proximity of the trees and yourself affects conductivity. Edit: I love what you're doing and am fascinated by the experiments. I don't know much about these things, and it seems like this implicates recovering lost electricity
The trees are alive with natural electrolytes, and are grounded. -They are grounding out the charges all around themselves. My body is also full of natural electrolytes, and am grounded somewhat depending on the current moistures between mean and the ground. If I stand on styrofoam, my whole body gets charged, like I showed in another video. It all depends what and how much something is grounded.
I'm calling it 'stray electricity', because it's strayed outside of the power line corridor.
Thanks for the interest!
Have you tried coils tuned to 60 hz?
No. Just seeing what materials work as a collector.
@@doubleMinnovations I would seriously consider it, especially since you know what the frequency is.
Paul from channel "www.youtube.com/@INVENTOR3" has done a lot of that in the past. It might interest you. I've been kind of going in a different direction.
@@doubleMinnovations Any HAM operator will explain length of wire RE frequency. It's not how much voltage but the increased (usable) current from it. What I perceive is static current you are measuring and it has to be really high to have measurable value.
I encourage you to continue by all means. And I offer no criticism, just encouragement.
Think a dozen coils, paralleled along the length you are currently using.
I asked a lineman why there were rubber strips from his axles to the ground. He replied to discharge the static voltage built up during the day. A half amp can kill you. But makes a lousy power source. I was developing a product using wireless power to recharge the built in non accessible batteries. QI consortium specs. Up to 15 watts from a 1.5 by 2.5 antenna transmitter receiver pair. They were in close proximity, but you have the advantage of a relatively large field. I realize you are basically probing this field, but Tesla did it long ago.
The vinegar soaked board is doing essentially nothing. Just drive nails on both ends but leave the wire off. You should read virtually nothing but maybe a little bit of voltage picked up by the meter wires. Wood, vinegar or not, is a terrible conductor. But the copper wire is a very good conductor.
There is an electromagnetic field around the power lines but it decreases exponentially wit distance. But it can still induce voltage potential in conductors passing through the field. That is what you are seeing.
You should try going out at night with long fluorescent bulbs. They should glow!
Generally what you are doing is relatively safe, but you are in that field and you are conducting a very small part of that field to ground, which is why you see the voltage in the wire drop when you are close by. You create an effect similar to what the rooted trees and bushes do, but they are better grounded although less conductive than a human meat bag!
Instantaneous current should be quite low but it can probably charge a capacitor over time if you use diodes to rectify it to DC. It might be interesting to build a circuit with an LED. you probably can't get quite enough current to light the LED continuously, but probably could use it to charge a capacitor and ten trigger it to flash the LED. I can't began to guess at component values but LEDs are typically around 1.8 to 3 volts. A transistor cold be used to trigger the LED when the charge voltage gets high enough. In theory, you could automatically cycle it from charge to flash. You can push LEDS to higher voltages very briefly. I think it would be pretty cool to have a string of these little LED flasher circuits set up to flash in thee dark.
I don't have any high enough voltage lines nearby to try this. But I think it would be pretty cool!
Be safe! Read up a bit and have a good idea what to expect. I think the energy levels are potentially enough to build a pretty good charge on a capacitor which could be dangerous.
These stray voltages don't generate enough power to do any useful work. With the numbers in this video (voltage & current), he's getting about 6 milliwatts of power. Even the smallest LED light needs 10x that much power.
Decim😂l points!
Your long wires are forming an air transformer with the power line. You can improve your setup to suck usable energy from the power. In the 50s a farmer near to us thought to do this very thing and it worked well. However, the power company has sensitive equipment watching their lines, they will detect any significant power loss and will come investigating. They will find your setup and unlease their hoard of lawyers loose on you. They knew how much energy the poor farmer had vampired from their lines, plus theft charges and whatever else they can think of. They sent the poor farmer to prison. All for enough energy to run a icebox, a couple of lightbulbs, and a radio. While it's fun to experiment and dream, don't really do it. It's not worth the trouble it brings.
Even small power companies have the equipment to do this, otherwise parasitic loses would destpry their profits.
YEAH...there was a guy who built a truck that had a bank of large batteries in it with a coil that could be raised up enough to get enough power to recharge the batteries and he would park the truck under the HT lines and....well.....he ran much of his house on these batteries and he was finally caught and told that he had to stop or they would charge him with theft of the electricity. Because he was doing this intermittently, it was hard to catch him but they did.....pretty ingenious, though
This has been addressed hundreds of times in some of my other videos. For these power lines; within the easement, the terms are that there can be no trees or buildings; but there can be fences. -thats in my first video on this subject. These lastest experiments are out of the easement, and I could put a metal build right there if I wanted to and ground it. I didn't I planted trees. What's happening is a weak capacitive link. What's available is tiny amounts of power. Much less than a watt. It's a curiosity that just sets some people off...
The "poor famer" was still stealing.
Imagine if we all did that? (As I hear there's a big issue with people tapping the lines in India, wouldn't surprise me if it's like that in South Africa too)
@AdamBechtol I wasn't calling him poor in sympathy. He was actually very poor. He could not afford the REA fee to run a line to his house for hookup. It was around $1000 in then money, nearly enough to buy a new automobile. But as the movie says, "He chose poorly.".
@@AdamBechtol THAT IS PHYSICAL TAPPING OF THE LINES.....THIS IS NOT
Okay we are now following you, we will try your experiments. Thank you🎉
be careful posting this, it is illegal in some jurisdictions
:p
@ktownjunkie
It's a psi op.
If everyone did it, we wouldn't be in an energy crisis because of demand and all anyone would need to do is make their own battery out of simple electrolytes. It is why the witch hunts started, Nikola was ousted, and weed, crack, and meth were highest on the drug war list. Feds would make you believe it is government regulated and funded, but then make you pay bills after and collect on those taxes, too. They could have made all the infrastructure independant with a Darwin turbine at every telephone pole for less than $1200, and yet they'll make sure they pack their bags and sting you with garbage equipment potentially costing more than a Darwin unit, and human life, then continue to tell you they're underfunded because they have to pay bills, too, and then can't carry their own equipment or it is illegal and botches their own case without extensive paperwork where someone could claim harassment and assault while an agent isn't using federally regulated equipment.
If it's RIGHT AGAINST the power wires before they enter the meter...
He's been posting these vids for years and has permission from the co as it's running threw his land
This shows how strong the electric fields are around the hv power like lines.
Not healthy thing.
If you where able to transform the voltage down to a usable voltage/current... You would get fined if caught.
Interesting but not useful.
Sorry to pee in the punch but you'll get ZERO current from this. You're just measuring the voltage of the electric field.
That's.... You're drawing power from the grid. Inefficiently
you picking up a build of static charge which has no usefulness as storable or usability energy.
Ohhhhh....here's another one! Have you heard of what the nasa scientist discovered about earth gravity fuel less propulsion? He even told you how to do it! Styrofoam, Teflon and copper I believe. Make it happen bro!!!

Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 💪🏽
Tesla was right
Nonsense !
