Tesla Radiant Energy Collector TREC.

[conradelektro]

There is energy in the air, it is called electrostatic charge.

Electric density increases 88 DC volts with each metre of altitude above the earth, or, in feet equivalents, 1-19 DC volts per foot of altitude http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:NearField-Earth-eField.png

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_electricity#Electrification_in_the_air

Many people tried to "harvest" this charge. It is possible with balloons (http://www.rexresearch.com/plauson/plauson.htm) or kites (round June 1752, Franklin reportedly performed his famous kite experiment).

The danger is being struck by lightning.

Usually (if there is no thunderstorm) this energy near the ground is not very dense and is difficult to do something useful with it. I could see it with an electroscope http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroscope and a wire from the roof window of my house during a dry day.

I think that with some "elevated construction" one either receives nearby AM radio stations or emissions from nearby cell phone towers or electrostatic charge. As it was said by others in this thread, beware of lightning. The lightning fatality rate is around 0.1 to 6 per million inhabitants per year (depending if it is a more rural country or not). But building an "elevated structure" with metal on top and a cable leading down, means calling in strikes.

Be VERY VERY careful. This subject can be extremely dangerous. PAtrick warned about it in the UK Free Energy Conference back in 2008

Hello Paul,

Either Patrick has no clue what he is talking about or he is a coward. On second thoughts he may be both.
I don't know who this Patrick is but if you were to inquire if he has built a collector he would say no, based on
such a device being a death machine.

I have been on these forums a long time and I have seen all kinds of clowns.

On the off chance Patrick can demonstrate this device working to me personally, I will give him £1000 for his troubles!

Hi Paul,
Tthe problem is that these details are  missing in  Patrik s book, and I don't know anyone who has more information about the topic .
I understand that the author can not be contacted anymore.

Hi Conrad,

Thanks for the information,  I read part of it in the past.... This system in theory, has some diferent principle as Pausons sistems.
But to make it works, in my opinion, whe need some more things :

  Start up mechanism is needed.
   Must be  find the  sistem- signal rhythm (frequency, which should be very high).
   Then,at this frequency,  the negative half cycle  maintained at the end of the upper spiral
   Then, an one direction (positiv) circuit from -center of the upper spiral  -  coil-  center of  lower spiral.
Rugly...In this way we create a path of no return to the "absorbed" positive charge ,   but is only my opinion.

Lightnings are a problem in such an apparatus it s truth, but the danger can be  mitigated , with a good anti lightning, correctly calculated and adapted at this situation, (  i m working in electrical engineering) it s possible.

As I said, I can only work on it on my vacations, because I work outside the country. Probably in July, august I will continue.

Until then, any good idea,  details, suggestions  ar welcome!

Thanks.

Tesla's radiant energy system consisted of basically,

1) an elevated (insulated) plate (not a spiral coil)
2) a ground plate/rod
3) and a capacitor which is switched to the load when a certain tension is reached.

The system can receive some wave energy like radio signals, as well as atmospheric potential and charged particles.

Any Antenna system can be protected against lightning, just like a crystal radio antenna.

An electric Fence energizer is protected by a spark gap and a choke coil between the energizer and the fence.

However I would not set one up on my house. Just to be safe, rarely does a person get a second chance with lightning.

Here is a simple small set up in action.
