crystal radio: the first real free energy device

[profitis]

You shud also try some lenr experiments with that uranium salts.try stimulate fission it with electrolysis

Sorry its 3.8x10^-15, I left out the 10

Lol ok. That is minuscule

Pomodoro,
look at this video!

Yes, its a sweet little detector! I think nichrome wire would do just as well, or even copper.  The alpha particles, allow the passage of electricity, which would not have passed without them. i was hoping that this would have happened in the galena, lowering the drop in voltage a diode always imposes on the signal.  Just as in the video, the particle would help electrons or holes overcome the barrier more easily. But sadly it just doesn't happen. Certainly power wise, if the calculation is correct, we can expect nothing.  Even helping with a coil's Q will be impossible, if the rate of energy loss is greater than 4x10^-15 J .
I've still got the 2n2222A with a fair bit of UO3 stuck in its case. I'll make a simple class A and B (for a bit of distortion) amplifier and see if less power is drained from the battery compered to a standard one.  I'll use noise for its input since, according to the patents, pure, sine waves don't work (don't ask me why).  I don't expect it to work any differently to the normal transistor,  but  experimental results don't always follow theory so its worth a shot.
