ENERGY FROM THE GROUND .. is an intriguing Prefix, regardless of the suffix .

This is the same as the patent drawing using Clarences toroid schematic to make the arrangement much clearer... the last piece of puzzel is getting the current loop and earth to form a ferroresonant connection...

It's simply my interpretation of the patent drawings and could very well be wrong or incomplete to some degree.

Well, I asked you guys, especially the enthusiasts and believers, to speculate about what the captor is and how it works and what it does.  I explained to you how the captor is just electronics quackery and it doesn't even have an output.

Not a single person had anything to say.

Then I copied Clarence's text about making voltage measurements in and around the captor, and I asked you guys where you thought that he was making the voltage measurements.   I asked someone to forward those questions to Clarence, "Where do I put my probes?"

Not a single person had anything to say, and nobody asked Clarence about where to make the voltage measurements that he was talking about.

So what does that say gentlemen?

This is just a farce, and you would be crazy to build this piece of junk.

This would be the most efficient variation on Clarence's system:  Connect your battery directly to the inverter, use the inverter to drive your AC load.  When the battery is depleted, connect it to a mains-powered battery charger and recharge it.

Here is the most friendly implementation for a variation on Clarence's system that is just as efficient as the system above:  Go out and buy a UPS.

The fact that nobody had anything to say shows how ridiculous things can get.  And certainly we have our fair share of "blind believers" on both threads.

Going a bit deeper, all this does is encourage other people to pull off the same kind of stunt as Clarence.  Some of them will be criminals cooking up a scam.

Well, thanks, that's a big improvement from asking me to stop posting, Mr. Facilitator.

Here is a history lesson for you:

The Cottingley Fairies appear in a series of five photographs taken by Elsie Wright (1900–88) and Frances Griffiths (1907–86), two young cousins who lived in Cottingley, near Bradford in England. In 1917, when the first two photographs were taken, Elsie was 16 years old and Frances was 9. The pictures came to the attention of writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who used them to illustrate an article on fairies he had been commissioned to write for the Christmas 1920 edition of The Strand Magazine. Doyle, as a spiritualist, was enthusiastic about the photographs, and interpreted them as clear and visible evidence of psychic phenomena. Public reaction was mixed; some accepted the images as genuine, but others believed they had been faked.

Interest in the Cottingley Fairies gradually declined after 1921. Both girls married and lived abroad for a time after they grew up, yet the photographs continued to hold the public imagination. In 1966 a reporter from the Daily Express newspaper traced Elsie, who had by then returned to the UK. Elsie left open the possibility that she believed she had photographed her thoughts, and the media once again became interested in the story.

In the early 1980s Elsie and Frances admitted that the photographs were faked, using cardboard cutouts of fairies copied from a popular children's book of the time, but Frances maintained that the fifth and final photograph was genuine. The photographs and two of the cameras used are on display in the National Media Museum in Bradford.

At this point I don't even believe that Clarence has 50 or 60 eight-foot grounding rods buried in his backyard with the connecting cables also buried under the earth.

I believe he showed a picture or two of some grounding rods but so what?

Clarence balks at simple questions for information, and you think a 76-year-old man is going to do all the work required to do the grounding rod setup?

Has he ever made mention of an auger drill to do it?  Even with an auger it would be back-breaking work.  Not to mention burying all the cables would be back-breaking work.

I would say that Clarence should show some pictures of his radical ground rod landscaping efforts.  I simply don't believe it.  How much of a leap is it to make fake free energy claims that your backyard is a magic synchronous provider of AC power to making a fake claim that you did a month's worth of continuous back-breaking work to uproot your whole backyard?
