7.8 Hertz Resonant Circuit

You would not find any patent from Amman. I'm sure,  because some other inventors from this time were also supressed like Meyers. Perrigo got a patent but it's to cryptic to understand except one thing... 

P.S. Dig more to find other pictures or information. They are priceless. What is the name of Amman brother ?

Hi forest.  The only name I have seen for C. Earl Ammann's brother is J. E. Ammann.

P.S.
If the following story is accurate (I don't know if this is legit or not), then it appears that when
C. Earl Amman went to Washington D.C. to file for a patent, they instead laid charges against him
claiming his device was stealing electricity from the power lines.

Mysterious Invention

"The Hubbard Energy Transformer" brought back to me exciting memories of another inventor. In 1918,
while doing painting and decorating, I was hired to paper several bedrooms in a large two-story house.
While at this work I went down to the back porch to pick up some materials. I happened to glance at the
light meter [mains power meter] and saw it was not moving.

I opened the fuse box and saw the main power fuses had been removed. It took only a minute to make sure
the line had not been tapped beyond the meter.

The only member of the family at home at the time was a young man in his early twenties [C. Earl Ammann].
I asked him, "Earl, where do you get your juice? I noticed it does not come from the power lines".

"Come along and I'll show you", he said. He led me up to the attic. He placed some steel bars on a work table
and picked up a coil which looked like a loose coupler. After placing the coils on the steel rods he touched the
opposite terminal. The bell rang with great force, and there was quite a spark, too.

I picked up the coils to make sure there was no contact with other appliances. I could see right through them.
There was no battery inside. The bell rang just as vigorously. The wire was iron.

In the basement Earl had what he called an Activator Transformer, the size of two fists, which had to be within
10 miles of the radius of the generator coils. The activator was not in contact with any visible wires or appliances.
It was activated by the electric currents which surge around the earth and activate the compass needle. By cutting
into these currents, Earl said, we can obtain unlimited power.

A year later Earl demonstrated his Cosmo Electric Generator in Denver. He had placed two copper spheres on the
front fenders of his car in place of the headlights. From these copper spheres he obtained enough power to drive
that old jalopy all over Denver as reported in the Denver Post at the time.

While Earl was demonstrating his invention all over the streets of Denver, the power had been cut off in the foothills.
In spite of this, when he went to Washington DC shortly afterward to try to obtain a patent on his Cosmo Electric Generator,
he found that charges had been filed against him claiming he had a device to steal power from the power lines.

The Denver Post news story was written in Aug 1921 however, so the dates in the above story
don't match exactly, but I suppose that guy Isselstein could have mixed up the year.

Amman, Hubbard, Hendershot, Perrigo - 4 persons from the same time period saying the same thing - electricity taken from Earth field. This can't be mistake or accident. I bet if we could find more information about Daniel McFarland Cook he had similar concept.

Add also this fellow Roy Meyers to the list  http://www.viewzone.com/meyers/ , also almost the same period.
If you look at this tower prototype you will find the same kind of "thing" like in photo of Leedscalnin.
It's very frustrating they had superior methods than we could imagine without using current electronics.

Hi Forest. Yes, some very interesting claims/reports relating to those people. Because it is so long ago,
it is very hard to assess now however, but still very interesting. Also interesting that some mention using iron wire.
Not as good of a conductor as copper wire, so why were they using iron wire then? Things that make you go hmm...
