Ok, well today was a good day so far. I have been able to prove some of what I was thinking today, but what is most impressive to me is that I have never been able to do it at this altitude. I now realize (and hopefully understand) that altitude will only give you voltage, but not amperage. However, it's very easy to make one match the other and then to multiply it without ever depleting the source.

Keep playing with those coils. Where I ended before was basically an aerial and two tank circuits which does make for a kick butt battery charger. But this is different. I'm seeing it differently now! What I hope to show soon is something else entirely. But so can you. I said before, inductance inductance inductance, believe that! There are some really cool things going on, but I'm off to retrieve my scope. I need to examine this in much greater detail.

Please forgive my enthusiasm. 
Thanks,

I connected the following circuit with the capacitor voltage reading initially at 0 volts. As soon as the circuit was connected the voltage began to rise at a steady rate until it reached about -44 millivolts after about 15 minutes. Then it just bounced around going plus and minus about 5 mv. The way it just steadily climbed to 44 mv was impressive. Perhaps with a longer antenna wire the voltage would go higher. I shorted the capacitor and it again climbed steadily to -42 mv.

Using a 9 volt battery the voltage climbed to +8 mv and bounced around a little.

I saw similar results.
Thank you for checking.

BTW. What software do you use to create your schematic images?

Seems to me using a multi strand cable with shielding would increase the capacitance of the wire.  Using one wire for the positive and the rest would be tied together for the negative. More Q could be upped if the positive wire charges all the negative wires. Current  in a capacitor is proportional to the rate of change of voltage across a capacitor.  When the voltage goes up current is flowing into the capacitor. When the voltage goes down current flows out of the capacitor. Fast voltage changes should increase the current. Pulsing the voltage on this circuit in this manner should up the current. Just an idea to try.

I am thrilled you guys/gals are playing with this, but there is something more to it all. Depending on how you see things verses what you do, you will find difference in either case. Point is, the bifilar coil has some rather unique properties depending on how it's wired together within a circuit.

For example: I'm currently working heavily with bifilar coils, and for good reason. Point is: you can wire the coils in such a way as to cause or create an amplification affect. This is really cool, and in My opinion, this is what Tesla saw in his time, but more then this which I won't get into here. I don't remember who it was that had two plates in the sky, but whomever you are, you are the one that got me thinking in this direction, and the rest contributed to making me think in this circle.... You can be "both" positive and negative! But you can do it all in one system while not tied to a physical ground, although you can be. I think I have explained this before, so I won't go into greater detail.

But when you can get a Tesla "PANCAKE" coil to resonate being bifilar wound, you will find if you play with it, that the affects multiply, and they do so with frequency. It's were I ended before, but not like this. In this case, I'm simply adding coil upon coil, to use the magnetic field without ever touching the source, and therefor never depleting the source. I conclude that I "could" build as much power as required based upon needs, and I could do this by adding coils.This is what I see from my test results. It's completely additive with no subtraction. So yes, that's a very cool thing! Just think of a transformer without it's core, then it should all make sense.

Are any of you playing with bifilar coils aside from testing inductance? I know those of you that have built the jouel thief have built the basic coil. But I think it should be an air coil, and also sandwiched between other coils. At least that is what my test results can show.

My only question to you all is this; What do you see? You see a massive boost with the jouel thief, but why? It's the coil that makes the day, not the circuit.

But that's just my $0.02 worth.

Thank you,
