A "RADIANT ENERGY" DETECTOR

[X00013]

I'm going to assume by radiant energy that you mean atmospheric energy. with that said, it all depends on the atmosphere. if you want to test your location for energy ( which depends on weather) , strap some pvc/ribbon/cat hair insulated from the vehicle ( this would be +) on ur car with a multi meter and ground it to a bucket of dirt sitting in the car. if you wanna have fun , build a static motor and hook it up. I did research this 10 years ago with best readings of 50 watts @ 50 mph. then i posted it on halfbaked.com, and got hanged in country square for it. Go figure.

      Lil ambiguity on my part.  I meant that the hypothetical tube I would use would utilize an ionized gas exposed to a constant dc voltage.  Would be interesting to see what shows up on a scope as it is exposed to various emscources.

@Xooo13

       I define radiant energy as electomagnetic wave energy produced by mass as a consequence of it's energy density.  Blackbody radiation.  Of course the magnetic part doesn't get too far which leaves us with a pretty much electrostatic radiation.

     Just another thought.  In a bulb or ss device that is under reversed voltage below the breakdown voltage we have ourselves a plazma of sorts.  The +ions over here and the electrons over there.  Between these two fields we have a pinch zone.  Now if we relax the voltage and the pinch zone gets smaller I am wondering if electromagnetic waves traveling transverse to the tube would experience an increase in amplitude and frequency as they pass through this weird dielectric field?

RE Detection:

Charge a 100V cap to 50V.

Cut two separate pieces of wire around 8 feet long that has good insulation!

Connect one wire to one terminal and the other wire to the other terminal - no circuit!

Curl the wires up into two rough cylinders, diameter unimportant!

Place near the coil, now pulse the coil whilst measuring the voltage on the cap and scoping the cap!

On the scope it looks like a very short burst of sustained oscillation!

Voltage on cap will steadyly rise! Cut wire down to get best pulse definition!
