   a.king:   Just how would you determine if there is any additional power coming from the ground? Instead of going to the ground, like is normally seen?

Well this is the whole point of the circuit. Try it and see.  You can also potentialize more caps using one wire and an Avramenko thus lessening the draw on the circuit. And yes, running it for quite a while is the key. Also during the day is better and on high ground.
I got my first mains shock in many years using the benign RICK and this circuit addition. And it shocked me both physically and mentally.  Just was not expecting it from the device driven by the gate driver. My Slayer is only powered by 5 volt nimhs.
As you say, conventional wisdom says it should go to earth ground - not the other way. That is the whole point of the experiment and there are many variations.

   Void:   So other than battery run times, there is no way to know and measure if there is current coming from the ground, or even how much "gain" comes from the earth ground line. As there are no batteries that don't drain after a while. Nor will that drain time be an accurate reading of actual charges coming from the ground.Only Rick's battery does not drain. But, it does drain, and needs rotation untii both batteries are dead.
And will need his special and probably expensive charger to bring those two dead batteries back to life again.So there you have it, in a nutshell.   Resonance can improve efficiency, but by itself has not been shown to self run any device,  that can replicated, and verified, as yet.

Hi AG. I make no claims about OU there. I have experimented with this sort of thing
in the past. No luck on my part so far. It is not so different in general than one of Nelson's previous arrangements, I think. 
As claimed, charge is 'pumped' from the earth and accelerated through the windings of the output
transformer primary winding. The secondary of the output transformer connects back to the supply battery
via the FWBR.

I have played with a circuit like Nelsons it's the pancake coil that does some thing special if you feed it with a 50/50 square wave it excelorates a high voltage like no other circuit I have ever seen over 600 volts is easy to rase so quickly it would instantaneously charge more or less charge that 3uf in no time at all.

Hi a.king. So you have a circuit setup which is different in some ways than the schematic you posted,
but you want people to spend time testing and sharing their circuit setup details and results with you?
That doesn't seem right.

Hi Nick, Well, you could use a current probe on the earth ground wire, but you are going
to see an AC current which doesn't tell you anything about 'OU' or not.
You could try powering the circuit with a super cap bank, if you have some which aren't too leaky.
