Knowing that the radiation is there is one thing, but seeing it is really cool and gives you a sense of how real it is. I'd like to see more of this type of stuff
That guys really interesting! I have one of his y.t talks saved on a playlist somewhere. I love the part were hes talking about meeting Philo T Farnsworth the Third, & his vacum tube star containment apparatus he kept in a cardbord box in a back room. I highley recomend: Energy From The Vacuum series on the airchive 🕸📄. Vid 4 is #1 ✌👍
VERY interesting experiments and your interest in learning more about electricity reminds me of my ham radio involvement. BTW, I also enjoyed your video of the steam engine at Itasca which I have seen several times. We have a cabin on Leech Lake and spend most of our summers there so I might run into you at the Itasca, Rollag, Park Rapids or Black Berry antique tractor shows. 73 KøFTB
I'm assuming that your ground pole voltage is near zero all the time. If we look at your second (last) wiring diagram in this video, it looks like the positive voltage coming from the coax goes directly to the ground pole. Wouldn't it be more economical to route the positive voltage directly to the positive pole of the capacitor and to the spark gap?
Yes, there is a connection from the coax straight to the ground through diodes. The circuit this way doubles the voltage, and what was needed for the spark-gap.
@@doubleMinnovations Well, maybe we understand differently what doubling means in this context... That same problem exist in Your Experimenters Notebook #1 (Figure 1 at page 6). There you seem routing negative cycles from your antenna directly to ground throught diode. I don't get it: You are routing live voltages directly to ground. To that same ground where You self are walking at same time.
Doubling the voltage, means doubling the voltage, -over that of the full bridge rectifier circuit. There is a AC current flowing between the fence wire and the ground. During half of the AC cycle, electric current is flowing from the wire into the ground. During the other half of the cycle current is flowing from the ground into the wire. With my 2nd circuit, when the electric current is flowing directly from the wire into the ground through the diode, during half of the cycle, there is an inductive reactance, that causes more current to flow leaving the wire with a higher static charge. -like the plate of a charged capacitor. When the current flows from the ground into the capacitor back to the wire, during the other half of the cycle, it flows back at the induced voltage plus the voltage of the charged wire. -(like two voltages in series) It now has enough voltage to break down the air resistance and jump the spark gap.
Some draw it one way, some the other. I guess it depends on convention, and someone learns it. Check out this little discussion and vid. "www.reddit.com/r/adafruit/comments/le136l/in_d_for_diode_does_it_show_the_flow_going_the/?rdt=45255"

Cool is there a PDF version of that notebook anywhere's?
Very educational, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Years ago, Tesla engineer Eric Dollard was pulling energy from the ground near fifty thousand watt radio transmission towers in CA blessings

Never been the the Black Berry one. How big is that one compared to Itasca? Rollag has gotten to be as big as the state fair, I think...
Thanks
COOP

Thanks for watching!
VERY CLEAR AWSOME VIDEO!!!
Glad you think so!

The real mystery is why this dude keeps getting younger looking in each video.
Add an MOT to your antenna!
Diodediagram the arrows is the wrongway drawed,
