There have been many claims of special coatings doing wonderful things,
and some do indeed seem true .

I was thinking that if I was testing Electrostatic "reception or attraction" which was attributed to
Coatings or Antenna design.

I would figure a method to use my bench and one of these !

simulating weak attraction designs on the bench ...even incorporating ground attraction too

besides its cool to show and teach the Kids .

Thanks To TinselKoala and Brad for the link.

There will definitely be much more on this topic ,the whatifs and experimental possibilities are almost endless.
and the old and"new" information on special coatings makes it a worthwhile venture for OPEN SOURCE research.

Try eBay or similar places too.   If you get the kite over 100 feet in the air expect 2-3kv positive without clouds. With clouds anything goes, including very high negative voltages. A kite string dipped in salt water is an alternative to copper wire. A single sharp needle point up there will collect enough current for you to measure with cheap multimeter with 0.1uA resolution. You wont measure any voltage with the multimeter  though, but I'll let you figure out why yourself. Measuring current is the most reliable method by far, especially for people starting out. Don't use diodes as yet. You will confuse the current with rectified radio / grid signals, that are quite strong due to the very low impedance of the kite antenna/wire (radiation resistance).
Keep at it until you get 1uA or more .It may not sound like much, but its a million times more than what a 1x1 meter metal plate up there can give. . After that is when secrets must be revealed, and you are definitely on your own ,start making elaborate collectors, different materials, etc. When you have improved the current, and you fulky understand the concept only then look into TH Moray and similar folk for more hidden secrets.

I use a yarn wire to fly it, so it would be something to try out maybe.

I got so mad after the third time i went out there, and i couldn´t lift even #30 wire, and i haven´t had the time since to do anything.

I apprecieate your feedback, thanks mate.

I am going to check out the link. Thanks.

It is definently fun to show the kids all these stuff that i have learned on the forum. The really seem to be interested, and i hope that it sparks an interest so they can do something that they like to do for a living.

Be careful what you wish for your kids.
Once upon a time, before science too over me, I too looked normal..

yes this path can make us a bit whacky...

I was told Philip Hardcastle has gone to Spain to work on his Quenton Device with Simon from Dansie's forum.
reminded me of a fellow a few years back who was harvesting from the ambient and utilizing Tiny Diodes arrays

member Paul Lowrance [unsure of spelling ]
worth a look, I am still having a very hard time with eye movement/reading and pain [supposedly getting fixed on Monday surgery]

so perhaps check it out ?
