Any idea what happens if you make the earth or ground deeper? Or let's say near a deep source of water or a well? I did see somewhere that Tesla built his tower over lay lines or underground water. I was wondering if you can't get higher you could increase the difference by going deerper. Just curious. Thanks, great video.

[@RimstarOrg]

Yes, having a better ground would have helped. That's why I was holding on to the ground wire with my bare hands, trying to make as much contact as I could. My body was acting as a ground. Connecting it to a big metal plate or wire mesh that was submerged in water would have given a better ground yet.

@@TheTattorack That's simply not true. If we spaced copper-lined towers at 50 meter heights across the desert floors here in California, we could generate cities' worth of energy. It's free, always available, and has nothing to do with wind. It has to do with ionization and electron-depleted grounds. Places with lots of water also generate massive amounts of ionization so these could be used in conjunction with dammed rivers. It is calculated that a square meter of space can generate 400,000 volts between the Earth at sea level and the top of the Ionosphere. Do the maths.

If you install 10 - 20 vertical aerial at reducing height and run it through a sequencing high voltage switching chamber and run it through a voltage transformer to earth the height voltage low current could be converted to low voltage high current .

[@jamestait6524]

Just a suggestion: Try running your copper wire from the ground up to the top of the CN tower (height of 553.33 metres) and see what results you get. That ought to be enough height to get an atmospheric voltage of just over 50kV. You should be able to run a pretty decent motor with that much potential.

[@hoon_sol]

Well, the thing is, buildings like that typically have grounding rods, so the entire building more or less remains at ground potential. That being said, the field lines become more and more compressed the higher up you get, so if you were to fly the drone just ~20 meters perhaps, or maybe a bit more, then you'd probably be able to get up in the tens of kilovolts.

[@cavemanelectronics9611]

I didn't know this was a thing possible.years ago I had a theory on collecting electricity through atmospheric electricity and drawing lightening to strike a tower and possibly collecting the energy and storing it for future use.

Well you can mix this with multiple setup and end up with something working(for more you scale), you use capacitor to boost it; converter to put it in ac if you want or just store it in battery as it come out in dc.

+Ostsol Yeah, there's not much practical use other than as a very neat thing and a science demonstration and that's all it was intended as. I've been wanting to do it for at least two decades. I have considered using a balloon but was always afraid of having a wire landing across some electrical system should the wire break near the bottom, like I showed happen in the video. I'm more confident now of how low the odds of that are, but there was no way I was going to do it before these tests.

[@gekiryudojo]

+WKDworks I was thinking that too so better to use a kite then or several kites

[@RimstarOrg]

+gekiryudojo The danger with kites is even worse than with balloons though. With a balloon you can fly it on a windless day and so there's little chance of the wire breaking. With a kite you need a windy day and so the chances of the wire breaking are worse. I recall as a kid flying a kit up to these altitudes and the string breaking near the bottom. The string ended up lying across treetops and branches. I grew up elsewhere in a small mining town surrounded by forests - not even any farmland.)

[@travismoore7849]

I wonder if you can use a darlington transistor to make amps form the high voltage with a bifilar pancake coil like a joule thief to extract power from an atenna and a ground?

[@hoon_sol]

The problem becomes acquiring sufficient charge; the reason the voltage gradient is so high to begin with is because air is a relatively good insulator, so there are a certain amount of ions in a given place, and when you've neutralized those, which happens rather fast, you'd have to wait to collect the next batch, which depending on antenna design and implementation, as well as height and atmospheric conditions, might take a while. On the other hand, if you've got a good antenna, get high enough up, and the conditions are good, you can probably achieve some pretty high amperage. I suppose the epitome of this would be to get a robust antenna high enough up to achieve a standing lightning bolt spark gap, but at that point you're going to have to start considering that a voltage might start to develop in the ground you're discharging from unless you take precautions.

What if you find a 200 meter high building, tie the copper line at the top and let it extend to the ground in a 45 degree angle? Or 40 degree angle? The cupper line could be longer than 400 meter, and presumably generate more electricity.

[@RimstarOrg]

The top of the building would be at ground potential, so it wouldn't work if you tie it to the top of the building. But you could hang a wire between two buildings. The middle of the wire would be at a different potential. See my video here where I explain more about how it work kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5m7qYZ3q5ulg8k

[@Stroheim333]

@@RimstarOrg Thank you for the comment. But I am not sure that the building in itself necessarily need to be equivalent to the ground potential -- if you insulate the connection between the building and the copper wire so there is no flow or current between them, then there should be no problem.

[@RimstarOrg]

Oh, sorry,, I wasn't clear. Because the building is at ground potential, the air nearest it is also at ground potential and the potential (voltage) increases as you go farther from the building. So any sharp points near the building aren't at a high voltage. See the equipotential lines surrounding the building and tree that I show near the beginning of the video I linked to if that's not clearer.

It is possible it would have worked at a lower altitude if the problem was instead that the rotor was being stopped by the wingnut inside the frame. After all, it was when I accidentally knocked into it causing the rotor to shift over that it started working, so the altitude may have not been the issue. I'm glad you liked it, thanks.

The problem with that is the hill or cliff are at ground potential, 0V, so that wouldn't help. What would work is stringing an insulated line from the top of one hill to the top of another hill, over a valley, and then having the wire go from the ground in the middle of the valley straight up to the line.

So for power if you put up an antenna you can tap into the natural electric grid? Tesla spent his time doodling with lightning generators when all was needed was an antenna?

[@RimstarOrg]

The wire I put up could be used as an antenna, probably a pretty good one. Put a crystal radio at the bottom and you'd probably get a good signal. Or tune into the 60Hz power grid an you'd pick that up instead -- though it'd be illegal so don't do it for too long.

Try little metal spheres at the end of those six wires. The idea being ... you want to collect electrons rather than emit them. Think of yourself as an electron in the air seeing that entrance, the point, you want to go there but as you move towards it you're being crowded out by other electrons all trying to go to that same spot. But like a stadium with a nice wide entrance, a sphere gives you more breathing room. Or just an aluminum foil disk on top of the wires, lots of surface area.

[@segarza]

I would imagine that the atmospheric electric field changes daily. Did you try it on different days and different weather patterns? We used to have a bank of spark gap style lightning arrestors to protect some radio equipment. During thunderstorms, those things chattered constantly due to the high charge level in the atmosphere at the top of the antenna tower.

[@RimstarOrg]

I didn't try it in different conditions. My opportunity to do it was very limited. But I did read the same thing, that it varied depending on humidity at least. During a storm, it's even it supposed to be the reverse since the bottoms of the clouds would be negative with respect to the ground.

If you're talking about the cable connecting your antenna high up to your circuitry/devices on the ground, then you don't need anything special, just plain old copper write would do perfectly fine, but you can use a coaxial cable if you like. Far more important is the design and implementation of the antenna itself, which should at the very least have as much surface area as possible (making a fractal antenna particularly good in this case).

You can measure it with an electrometer. Luckily, Caltech has generously put Feynman's lectures online www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/II_09.html and if you scroll down to the 3rd paragraph, the one that begins, "How can we measure...", you'll see a suggested experiment without having to lift a wire high up.

[@t.i.m.e.3419]

Totally cool. If I remember the Tesla patent correctly, he used sheets of metal. One suspended in the air, the other buried in the ground. There was then an oscillator driving the HV onto a short secondary to deliver amps. In another paper, to do with attracting atmospheric electricity for the purposes of grounding lightning around/across buildings, he showed with math that using a hollow sphere was much more beneficial for gathering energy. So, how about a large balloon filled with Helium, covered in aluminium foil for the top, with a ground plate of the same capacitance? It doesn't have to be actually buried, but if it were in a conductive gel, such as a salt water/corn starch mix, to connect to the ground laterally, (??) then the current might go up. I don't remember what the galvanic opposite of aluminium is....I think it is lead. So, some lead flashing might be worth a try for the ground plane??

[@RimstarOrg]

I've read that Tesla was making use of the photoelectric effect. This effect is a different one entirely and needs sharp points high up in the air. Check out my follow-up video about how it works kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKO5lXierrKFbKM. I did once play with Tesla's method but didn't go very far with it.

[@originsdecoded3508]

The reason it only conducted a bit of electricity is because of of lack of proper shape and surface volume of your conductive antennas. With the right size and shape you can agragate more atmospheric charged ions as it passes through the receiver atennas with more volume surface you will get more energy. Think of radio fractal antennas and how their able to pick up more radio wave magnetic frequencies. The same principles apply to Ion reciever antenas. shape and size matters. And Another big problem is the skinny copper wire. Even if you were to collect lots of electrical energy through the receivers not much will flow through those wires because the Ohms/ amperage draw would not be enough to travel all that distance to the device you are powering.

[@mellender0]

you ever try using a tartarian style antenna

[@EbenezerScroogeMcDuck]

check out the levi strauss nederland building in amsterdam. it contains a dodecahedron antenna that is ornamental these days, but the sides of the building contain decorative spheres with spikes (resonator lamps). yes, all ornamental now, but highly likely they were functional as we suspect.. a tartarian antenna is doable, but it won't function correctly without a proper amplifier/resonator. i hate using the term "red mercury" because there's still no solid proof of the stuff (until someone produces it and gets in trouble with the CIA), but... it is highly likely that red mercury was key to the use of atmospheric energy, so that one didn't have to lift a wire hundreds of feet in the air. interesting note though.. today's electronics are technically "dated/useless". an electromagnetic motor consumes way too much energy and is to be considered useless. a proper corona static motor could use up to 90% less electricity and function just as well or even better. what the chap in this video is using is a rudimentary or crude model of a corona motor. the real thing could certainly be used in a blender, fan, or car motor. the amount of electricity at 5ft (a car on rubber tires) with a proper antenna should indeed be able to run perfectly.

it started turning once you put the coil closer to the motor, is it really due to atmospheric current flowing or due to induced current from the coil?.or vice versa

[@younscrafter7372]

How do you think the current gets into the coil?

[@Hipyon]

Like very much your corona motor I was thinking a buck converter could also work?

[@RimstarOrg]

I don't know if a buck converter would work. This is high voltage so you may need extra circuitry but I'm no expert on buck converters.

[@Hipyon]

RimstarOrg it would have to be modified to use the highest possible voltage devices and I think it will work possibly it would need multi stage devices there are semiconductor devices which operate in the kilovolt range

[@buntibollocks]

Wow thats great. Since it is just a wire and V=IR the real voltage across the wire must be really small not 12000V, also it is just a straight wire with no loop so wont there be charge buildup preventing the current. Also the resistance of the earth is huge so the current will be small isnt there a better way? I was playing with a capacitor and attached one end of it to ground but it didnt discharge, i was wondering why? I know Q=CV and F=Kq1q2/R^2 so wouldnt a charge buildup on a capacitor cause a discharge? i know from RC circuits I=CV/(1+RC) so when the circuit isnt in a loop there will be charge buildup and that will counteract the current where C=epsillionA/D but what is the capacity of the earth/ground?

[@RimstarOrg]

As you said, the ground has a high resistance so you need to make a lot of contact with it in order to lower the resistance. I was making some contact with my thick wire pushed into the ground, but not enough. That's why I grabbed a hold of the wire with my hands because my skin resistance was lower than the ground and so I acted as part of the ground too. For houses, they'll often pound a large diameter copper rod a meter or so into the ground to get a lot of contact.

[@bantix9902]

hm what if we build a huge pillar that is insulated from the ground and meet ground and "live" wires at mid height? How much energy could we generate?

[@RimstarOrg]

Something like that could work. Also, suspending the wire between two such pillars that are spread apart should work.

[@jefferyhayes8063]

Have you considered doing the Franklin way of obtaining various altitudes using a balloon?

[@RimstarOrg]

Using a balloon worries me because if the wire breaks low down, as mine did, then a balloon would carry it away and drape the wire across power lines.

[@cbizzy2009]

Wonder if thicker and alot more wire and wider receiver would do for the amperage you should get alot more current and increase the amps

[@locouk]

Can the antenna pick up be mounted horizontal to the ground at about 3 feet or so? Also.. Have the FAA changed the height regulations? It wasn't very long ago it was 400 feet, I set my height to 121 meters which is within our CAA regs here.

[@RimstarOrg]

+Green Silver No, the antenna has to be vertical. It's making use of the fact that there's a potential difference vertically above ground, as well as some ions. The voltage increases 100 volts/meter as you go up. So at 120 meters the top of the wire was at 12,000 volts with respect to the ground,... well, until it starts conducting, and then much of the potential is down at the corona motor. Regarding the FAA, I'm in Canada (Ottawa). But according to this www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/standards/general-recavi-uav-2265.htm?WT.mc_id=21zwi the limit is 90 meters here. It's labeled safety guidelines but the local drone flyers stick to it. Do you have a link to the CAA regs that have it as 121 meters? It'd be great if that is the case since that's where we had success.

[@locouk]

Here's the CAA 400 foot regulations, article 166 clause C. www.caa.co.uk/default.aspx?catid=1995&pageid=16012 I thought the FAA had pretty much the same regulations, soon the FAA will be requiring all U.S. UAV's to be registered to an owner. How this will affect Canada I don't know. It's up to the operators to keep up with current regulations, they don't accept ignorance as a good enough excuse.. Fly safe!

[@RimstarOrg]

+Green Silver Thanks. Hopefully Canada will catch up.

Just attach a wire to a meat hook and throw it over a transmission line for a wild ride and some "free energy" 😂

[@Quisl]

Would it increase the power if you used thicker copper?

[@RimstarOrg]

It's possible that the resistance of the long wire is decreasing the available power and so, yes, a thicker copper wire might help. There's so little current here though that I wonder if it would make a difference.

[@henryswan1374]

could you use this to light a fluorescent bulb? does that require highish current?

[@RimstarOrg]

I can't say for sure, but I suspect that requires more current.

[@choimdachoim9491]

By this demonstration, I assume that all High-rise buildings in large cities that rise at least 400 feet have this electrical potential residing in every continuous vertical steel framing member.

[@RimstarOrg]

Those high-rise buildings are all at ground potential, i.e., 0V. You could string wires between the tops of the buildings though.

[@infinnite4938]

wow, like a lightning motor huh? 😄 great stuff!

[@kellycarver2500]

What can you power with this?

[@bunnykiller]

what happens when it turns out you had a very long radio antenna hanging in the air and were picking up EMR from radio transmissions from everywhere and that was enuf power to make things work...

[@RimstarOrg]

In this case that's not what's powering the motor since this was an electrostatic motor wouldn't turn if just powered by radio waves. But it would have been fun to hook up my crystal radio and see how loud the output would have been, probably pretty loud! Here's my video on the science behind atmospheric electricity kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5m7qYZ3q5ulg8k

[@Honglengame]

So, will this also work if I used tree as the pole? @RimstarOrg

[@RimstarOrg]

The tree is at the same polarity as the ground, so just hanging a wire straight down won't do much. However, you could try connecting one end of the wire to the top of the tree, with an insulating material betweent the tree and the wire, and then have the other end go a long way across your property to the corona motor. That's what lasersaber did here kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXaqXq2gpthsrq8

[@Honglengame]

@@RimstarOrg Thank you so much!!! That's help a lot. I've plan to do this fun project at my rard.

[@jonandivyjones]

You have to replace those metal pins with magnets for it to produce actual amperage. Look up the atmospheric electricity generator patent by Roy Meyers.

[@hoon_sol]

That doesn't really make sense; in any application for this you will be connecting your antenna to ground through whatever it is that you're doing, so the ions of the air will be attracted to those pins as if they were magnets anyway in this case.

[@daivonclark5151]

If i had a really tall pole or the like to conduct the charge instead of a drone and wire, and it got hit by lightning, what do you suppose would happen? Also i wonder how a solar storm would affect it as well.

[@RimstarOrg]

You'd need something like a lightning arrector at the bottom of the pole to protect the corona motor or whatever electronics are at the bottom of the pole. They're used in solar power systems a lot. There are likely other solutions too.

[@whitepaperkat67]

Is there a way to amp up the voltage and is it possible to fly the wire up using a weather balloon I sort of have an idea

[@RimstarOrg]

To get a higher voltage you just have to go higher. A weather balloon would certainly work. I'd just be afraid of the wire breaking low down and the long wire falling across power lines somewhere in the city. Also, make sure it's secured well at the bottom end. But if you don't go in winds that are too strong then you should be fine. If your balloon has enough lift then you could even use a plastic coated wire which won't break.

[@whitepaperkat67]

I also wonder if I could just make more than on of them and link them up and have sort of a grid of towers all set at a fixed hight so I don't get into trouble with the air force

[@RimstarOrg]

Absolutely. Just keep in mind that if the towers are made of metal or get wet then the towers act as ground and so you'd have to instead string plastic wires from tower to tower and have sharp points somewhere along the middle of that plastic wire and then a copper wire going down from that. There are a number of ways you could do it.

What happens with a wire from the top of a hill or mountain to the bottom?

[@RimstarOrg]

The mountain is all at ground potential, even at the top so I don't think it would make much difference. Have a look at my how-it-works video kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKO5lXierrKFbKM at around one minute and 16 seconds in at how the lines curve around the tree and building. It could be that the lines are closer together though above it though so the wire doesn't have t be as long to get the same voltage.

[@arthurheathen9176]

Hi there. Can you do a video about how change Voltage into Amperes? Thanks for reading my message

[@TheOswald42]

so can we increase the voltage by adding more six sharp points in parallel..? I wonder is it really atmospheric electricity or just absorbing energy of radio waves from nearest communication tower..?

[@RimstarOrg]

+Oswald Rayleigh Voltage is a function of height. In fairweather it increases by approximately 100 volts per meter. Adding more sharp points would increase current (the amount of charge collected) but there's probably a limit to the number of useful sharp points per unit area. It's atmospheric electricity. There's no way this electrostatic motor would work using the radio waves.

[@filipwyberg]

is it possible to charge a battery with that voltage?

[@RimstarOrg]

You' need a circuit to lower the voltage but it should be possible. It may take a while depending on the size of the battery.

I don't know how well is scales as you go higher. The thinner atmosphere may mean fewer ions and so less current but I'm not sure. And thanks! I'm glad to hear you loved it. It was a challenging and fun project.

If you mean the wire going into the air, I would think so since at a high voltage the thin enamel insulation on my wire doesn't make much difference. But make sure it doesn't touch anything, otherwise you'll have losses.

+sketchyssk8shop The only way to increase voltage is to go higher. In fair weather, voltage increases approximately 100 volts per meter as you go up.

[@circulationsolutions9149]

Amazing job! Proving there is always a voltage difference between 2 points. Think we could sap voltage from a tree? Plants?

[@hoon_sol]

They are grounded, so the equipotential lines at the surface of them would be the same as at ground level; however, the lines are much more compressed at higher altitudes, so you'd definitely benefit from putting up an antenna from the top of a tree rather than having one near ground level.
