Energy from the Ground - Self powered generator by Barbosa and Leal

[Void]

Looks like pretty impressive results.
I wonder how we could scale that back to a simpler level.
Looking at his schematic, I see an open system (with open neg lead), and with the capacitor, I'm reminded of Tesla's apparatus for collecting radiant energy.
Hope this helps.

Hi Bob. I watched that guy's videos a couple of weeks ago. He doesn't seem to understand
even the basics of doing proper power measurements, and he also seemed not to be aware
that neutral is usually earth grounded at the electrical panel (not sure about in his country however).
In the last video of his I watched he was showing what appeared to be way more input power consumption than
he was delivering to his load, and he seems oblivious that this is actually indicating quite a bit less than unity.
Someone pointed this out to him in a comment to his video, and the guy replied that "he was excited". He seems
to have not understood the significance of the relation between input power compared to output power. Also
his measurements are completely inadequate. It appears that he doesn't really know what he is doing. I
hope he doesn't electrocute himself.
All the best...

Thanks for your observations Void.
Yeah, those wires kinda freaked me out - for him and the dogs.

Hi Clarence. Thanks for the update. Ok on you being the only farmhand.
Take your time mate. Rushing at this sort of stuff does not help anything.
If it is kind of swampy out in your neck of the woods then that may mean that
you should have quite good potential conditions for getting a really good earth ground.
All the best...

Hello Void, a.king21, & ALL,

just a quick update: I just finished all the connections for my new ground grid system and it is
now evening here so I am going to quit for the  day!
after morning farm work I will start about noon to begin some new in depth testing and note taking, etc.
hopefully all the effort will be worth it, but fear not iv'e got another one of Tesla's way to get the job done!
I will wait until about noon Sunday to post the test results - good,bad, or ugly.

thanks, cheers!

Sounds good Clarence. Even if this doesn't work out, you now have yourself one
excellent earth ground for any other experiments you may want to try.
All the best...

Skribat, nice find!
Only had time to watch the first video (over lunch at work). 
He's basically saying that the B&L schematic people have been working with are not producing the desired effects. He then shows another schematic that doesn't produce the effect either. Then, he shows one that does seem to produce abundant amps from the ground, starting around 7:20.

Here's what he says at 18:15:
"I believe B&L haven't told us the whole truth. If we input direct current without this capacitor (see right side of diagram), there is no substantial raising of current. To capture the electrons from the ground, there needs to be a means that permits, by induction, for them to be generated. And this instrument (means of induction) is still the capacitor, one of the great protagonists of electricity and electronics."

Note, the negative input remains hanging or "in the air" as he says.  He's showing 115V, 0.0-1.0A in, and at each winding of his transformer, he's getting around 168 amps.  That's a lot of juice. The mains amperage draw continues to be around 1A even as he's running lights and some other gizmo (didn't catch what it was) off the output. It would seem the extra electrical charge is coming from the ground.

Looks like pretty impressive results.

hi Bob ..  many thanks for the translation .. your post also reminded me .. it seems that almost everyone working on replicating the captor for some reason ignores their use of the magnetic pulse device use in their system .. as with the Kapenadze system I suspect this is important .. or why would it be there.  skribat ..
