The EM Sucking antenna

[Xaero_Vincent]

Read the PDF about Dr. Oleg Jefimenko, who powered an electrostatic motor with an earth-field antenna. It is basically a wire with a sharp tip connected to a balloon. Dr. Jefimenko was able to draw 70 watts of free power to run his motor from a 1200 ft wire in the sky.

According to here:

Upto 7kW could of been harnessed if the rotor could spin at 120,000 RPMs. 

Its certainly an interesting alternative or compliment to solar power. The issue would be whether or not you'd be permitted to fly balloons hooked with high-voltage wires to houses. The balloons cannot interfere with air traffic (an obvious problem once masses of folks do this). It might be feasible to hook an array of 50-100 ft long poles in series on your property.

The neighbours might complain about large poles so make sure you live in a rural area.

There are a whole lot more of patents like these at:

More additions to that particular thread can be added later by me or anyone else.

yes big m,thats the crump I was talking about.The diagram of the radio is where he uses power from radiowaves to operate (power) the radio.The other two diagrams have different loads.Triffid

I just found this on the Web:

Goes in well with this thread and my thread on patents(  http://www.overunity.com/index.php?topic=7832.0  ).

EM sucking antenna technology was apparently marketed in the 1980's for TV reception rather than power generation.

This product clearly sucked!
