Thank you for the pic upload.  I very much appreciate it!

Thank you for your idea!!  It made me think of another idea which I decided to add to yours.  It was a jolting experience to say the least!     But now I will go back out and this time wear some rubber boots and rubber gloves and try again!  You have a good mind for putting things together.  Glad you are here.

What is your idea?

@ DonL

We need to remember to be very detailed with our descriptions of our systems.

Yeah, sorry about that. I did mention before that the aerial in the pic's was 16' from ground, those who download the packet can clearly see the two conductor extension cord/areial.

Specs:

Aerial = 100' two conductor 14 awg extension cord.

Aerial height = 16' from ground.

approximately 60' of the cord is tied to rain gutters, the rest leads to my work bench.

Ground rod = 4' long mild steel bar pounded 4' into ground.

Ground wire = 50' extension cord leading from ground to work bench.

Charge circuit = two 100uf capacitors and two common diodes.

And I think that's it for this experiment, if you see something in the pic's I forgot to mention, please point it out.

Thanks,

Thanks,

are you using both conductors in your aerial?
If so, how are the 2 connected at each end of the wire?
Another words: are the 2 at the top of the aeriel connected together or left separate?
Are the 2 at the lower end connected together before being connected to your circuit or left separate.  If separate, which one are you using and what are you doing with the other connector?

All this is important in order to replicate your system.

Someone may have read your post and think you're using 1 solid wire as an aeriel.  By using a 2 conductor wire you may be "accidentially" changing your circuit for the better or worse.

Sorry to be so "picky" but this is science.

What none realize yet, is the fact that we need induction to make this system work.

I do and I have been working to use it.
And, I agree most people even many trained ones miss this.
The natural world presents us with an alternation of E and M and we are wise to use it which to me means get out the inductors.
This is the reason I have been spending time taking Prof Lewin's 8.02 physics class. wow!

I am glad you asked about the wire. I did assume a single strand of wire. I suspect Lee did too since he went right out with a single strand.

Thanks.

In fact, although there is little inductance, I used what remained of a spool of 22awg single strand wire and played out what I needed to get to the ground and the rest is still wound.

thank you,

I've been working on using inductors for months with this setup.
This will need a lot more control and switching but here is where I'm going now:
