Free Energy will change the World - Free Energy will stop Climate Change - Free Energy will give us hope
and we will not surrender until free energy will be enabled all over the world, to power planes, cars, ships and trains.
Free energy will help the poor to become independent of needing expensive fuels.
So all in all Free energy will bring far more peace to the world than any other invention has already brought to the world.

Picture this... you have devised a way to build yourself an array of tiny wind turbines using small off-the-shelf motors. If the output from the motors is pulsed DC, it can be smoothed and combined together. If the output is a.c. at a mere 2V or less, there is a problem.

The outputs cannot be easily synchronised, unless the rotors can be mechanically linked together. The obvious solution is to rectify the output from each alternator, but most diodes have a forward threshold of 0.7V. With Germanium this drops to 0.3V but may still be too high.

A workaround one can try, is to use a transformer to step-up the voltage before rectifying.  The impedance would need to be carefully matched, but this setup will always introduce some inefficiency.

A depletion MOSFET can be wired up as a diode with virtually no forward threshold simply by shorting the gate to the source. I tried this successfully using a BUZ31 and tested it on my homebuilt alternator.

However with lower voltages or shorter pulses, one might need to use a MESFET as suggested in US patent number 6097247. I was wondering if anyone here had experiences with this, or other ideas for combining the outputs.
