Maybe some NEW info?

I have a question, why didn't he just draw out the diagram before he started making the video?.

It also occurred to me that he may have reinvented what we technical people like to call an "antenna". We have a ground connection, some rectifying diodes/LED's and a fair amount of exposed conductor.

Another option is a ground fault in his house wiring which is more common than we think. When I wired my last house I accidently connected the white(neutral) to ground and ground to white(neutral) of the fixture in one electrical box of a lighting circuit. Then later when working on all my other junction boxes and central heating ductwork I noticed a slight tingling in my fingers, lol. I picked up on what was happening right away even though the low power LED lighting in the circuit worked fine. The circuit just happened to be conducting through every other ground and the ductwork in my house. 10 electrical boxes later I found the culprit...white/neutral bonded to ground.

Im not ready to make a decision on this yet.


The antenna seems to amplify whatever is already there.
I can move the antenna to the - side and it does the same


Also after adding more diodes on the + terminal
I got a reversal of potential...


I need to think on this and get some sleep
and i will check all these diodes in the morning to
make sure it is the way i think it is...


His drawings are clearly not the type of engineering schematic
that were used in the college i went to in the U.S.
Maybe thats the way they taught in GB decades ago
hard for me to understand, but i thought i had a handle on it.
I still haven't gotten any useable current, right now im trying to set the voltage up
if i can get anywhere i'll post my results

I dont want to flood the thread with stupid videos showing what may or may not be
nothing


But feel free to peek in on my YouTube channel
as i will be posting videos frequently.


I have no understanding of this type of circuit, as it goes against
electrical theory and combines aspects of Earth Batteries, and
diode-based voltage adders.


I have removed the aerial antenna from the circuit, so any "antenna rectification" is
only from the small wiring connecting the diodes.


There appears to be the "capacitive" kin of current
Current rises through a high impedance load over time,
but low impedance loads drain or 'discharge' the capacitive current.
I know that sounds weired (it is certainly new to me!)
But thats the best description i have for you on that.....


Still not sure whats up with the spontaneous polarity reversal.
Is this an aspect of earth? Something to do with imbalanced bucking diodes?
(mine is built using random diodes and unequal # on one side)


My next step is to build (or salvage) some kind of high impedance load.

If you can draw and post a circuit diagram I can tell you what is happening.

I have done all these experiments before and once measured a current take several minutes to cross the surface of a concrete floor. I also measured a negative charge take over one second to traverse a 60' length of 20 ga copper wire. These are electrostatic/atmospheric effects and contrary to popular belief they can move very slow.

This device can help show what's going on...

Most people have no idea what electricity is or how it actually works more so electrostatics. Bill Beaty's site is the best resource on electricity I have seen to date. It's a must read in my opinion.

Yes it relates to the Earth/atmosphere potential difference. Here are some good links to get up to speed...

I guess if you have done "all these measurements" before....


There's nothing new here for you.
Move along
