Resonnant circuits in cascade.

[Elvis Oswald]

Thanks!    Also...

After reading Meyl... which you have probably heard of... he says that Tesla said 12Hz - and his own testing (Meyl) confirmed - that it is indeed 12Hz.  But either way... 12 or 7.43 (give or take) - the sizes of components will be close.

So... calculating the freq. at 12 Hz... and just grabbing a number of 1henries on the inductor (this would be about the primary on a A/C step-down transfomer (US) - and the cap is 175 microfarads (rounded up

Hi Elvis.

Well I'm sure you did your homework there and won't disagree.

All I'll say is that there is much more energy in high frequency waves,
even at tiny voltages, than low frequency ones. If you start with
high frequency, you can step it down through resonant stages
tuned to progressively lower fundamentals, and have way more at
your output (like frequency multipliers in reverse.)

Here might be an interesting experiment; string an antennae,
ground it, insert a phosphor-conductor diode mentioned. Take a
frequency counter and measure the natural rate occurring across
your diode. That's your input f  that your first resonant stage
should be tuned to. Each further tuned stage should decrease
the previous rate by half. You'll need to vary the winding ratios in
each secondary to get the V/I you want. Output can be clamped
and peak detected thrice, for steady DC out.

Please, people, pick up a first year EE text and learn the difference between voltage, energy and power.  Yes, you can put a lot of _energy_ into cascaded resonant circuits, but there is _NO_ power gain, regardless of what voltage comes out of the coil.  A resonant coil is like a kid on a swing - with tiny pushes over time you can get him swinging very high.  But he is not extracting any power, 'zero-point' or not, from the ether!  Same with a Tesla coil.

If you recall back to Tesla's Colorado Springs coil experiment, he ended up burning up the local utility generator to power his resonant coil.  This is because he was DRAWING power from the utility, not from the earth, not from the 'zero point', not from the 'ether'.  The big sparks he got from the cascaded resonant circuit were from magnification of VOLTAGE not POWER.

Now, as far as extracting energy from the Earth's Schuman resonances, keep in mind that you need an antenna.  The efficiency of an antenna is proportional to the square of its length as a fraction of a wavelength.  An antenna as tall as my house will only be ONE TRILLIONTH of a percent efficient.  That is 0.0000000000001%.  This is why Schuman resonance waves do not blow out the front end of my ham gear.

If you would put down you EE book - and read this entire thread... you will see that the circuit we are talking about building includes a source.  That would be an antenna.    So yes - we are talking about multiplying the power at the expense of a source.

Even so - do not rule out some interesting anomalies when the circuit and the source are resonating.

Your ham gear is grounded - or else it might just blow up.  I've seen voltage on a 100' loop of 40v... and you feel it when you touch it.
Call it what you like... that is power.
So I am not talking about voodoo... or zpe... I am talking about reality.  And yes, it is a matter of scale - but that is just a matter of time and experimentation.

I just read about a lab that has slowed a particle of light... and they are working to utilize it in a new type of computer.  Before they did that... you might have said the same things to them.
