Ground Energy Extraction (GndNrgEx)

This is the first video in a series which investigates the possibility of extraction of energy from the ground.

This has been done before by Thomas Henry Moray in the 1920's. The video demonstrates that a bank of 52 white led's can be lit brightly when an earth wire is connected. The power supply registers no change in the current supplied to the circuit whether the load is connected or not.
There is no overunity performance suggested or implied in this video.

Hi radiant_one. From the video it looks like the power supply voltage was around 12.2V and the current
was showing as 0.03A. Since the current meter only shows two decimal digits, the 0.03 could be anywhere 
from 0.03A to 0.039A. Also those power supply meters are usually not so accurate, but taking those numbers
as shown, and using the minimum value for the current when the meter is showing 0.03 gives:
12.2V x 0.03A = 366mW
Divide 366mW by 52, because you say you have 52 LEDs, and you get 7.04mW available for each LED,
if you had 100% efficiency. In my experience with testing with similar LEDs, they can be quite bright already
when dissipating only roughly a mW or so. They can start to light up already with only very low microamps.
So each LED having up to 7mW available should be a lot of excess power. Even if the efficiency of your driver
circuit is only 50%, you would still have 3.5mW of power available for each LED.

When you connect the earth ground you provide something for the LEDs to work against, which allows them to
light brighter, but the power supply appears to be supplying more than enough power to be lighting all the LEDs
very brightly. LEDs can also light against just a length of wire if you tune to a suitable frequency. Since many LEDs
these days only require a small current to light up, just having a length of wire connected to the other end gives enough
current flow at the right frequencies, due to the resonating of the wire. I have done a lot of experiments along those
lines, and in my experiments I have found that the power is still being drawn from the power supply to light the LEDs,
whether connecting one end of the LEDs to earth ground or a length of wire or not. The earth ground or length of wire
does not seem to add any free power to the arrangement in my own tests. Since many modern LEDs can start to light
already with only very low current going through them in the low microamps range, this can be misleading if you don't
take that into account and also do all the measurements and calculations.

I have been experimenting recently with a circuit along the lines of Lasersaber's 'super joule ringer', and it will
light a few small LEDs with only very low input current from it's supply capacitor, in the range of 30uA or so
at 10V. That is still not over unity however if you calculate everything out and take into account the brightness of
the LEDs, at least in my own tests anyway. This could be misleading to someone if they didn't realize that some modern LEDs
can already be lighting quite noticeably at even only 100uW of power dissipation by the LED. At 1mW of power dissipation many
types of modern LEDs can already be glowing really bright.

All the best...

SUPER nice post that really explains it.

Thanks.                                                                                              .

Nice and clean demo video!

Looking forward in seeing the circuit.

Thanks for sharing

This is the second video in a series which investigates the possibility of extraction of energy from the ground.

This video describes the circuit and tuning demonstrated in video 1. In that video I lit 52 white led's when an earth wire is connected but the power supply registered no change in the current supplied to the circuit whether the load is connected or not.

There is no overunity performance suggested or implied.
