That claims that you can produce continuous for ever electromagnetic micropower of cosmic radiation by placing a magnet between a chargeless capacitor.

The magnet must be oriented as follows:
magnet "N"="Notos"="South Magnet Pole" must face to the Earth's North Pole and "B"="Boras"="North Magnet Pole" must face to the Earth's South pole.

Any tests and ideas?

I would think that any kind of a magnetic field could influence that setup and ruin it, if correct orientation of the magnet in it is a must.

Since it is micro power I suppose you would need thousands of small cells like that, and as I wrote above, some kind of magnetic shielding for the whole unit so it is not affected by external fields.

All in theory, who knows if that setup really does something or not...

Any more info on this...seems it may be compatible with the joule thief.

Interesting diagram, and simple idea. If there's a 90 degree relationship between magnetic flux lines and electrical charge, then perhaps this would make sense. There  also seems to be a parallel in this case with the earth battery, and its functioning being contingent on having been lined up with the earth's poles.

Thank you for answers.

No, unfortunatelly I don't have more info on this, just the diagram and the claim, that was made by a man that have studied mechanical and electrical engineering so I suppose he must have knowhow of fundamental science..

I have tried to test it by placing a neomagnet between 2 iron plates and paper as a dielectric between the magnet surface and the plates.
I oriented it aproximately as the text claims and in other ways but I couldn't get voltage in any way.

What is the "joule thief" and why is it compatible with this?
