Question from the Tesla generator video series

[CompuTutor]

I'm slightly busy at the moment with something,
but I can toss a few pieces out there for now.

attached below are four minimal-HTML files to see the
introduction and that three part RF-Rectifier project.

I stripped all the crap out, and enlarged the vids a bit.



Also,
while I was following the paper-trail to get the vids,
I found a few of other files, here are two PDF's to read.

When I get a chance I'll finish following the FW-Player RTMP trail...

But I'm sure you already know there are much higher quality parts available
for very little money that are better than what I saw in the beginning of the
project video #1 below (I only watched about 2-1/2 minutes before closing).

Lightning issues bother me too !

That was just a quick copy/paste of what I saw
while trying to access just one vid from their page,
No need of all that crap...



Note, this website doesn't allow .HTM attachments,
rename them from .HTM.TXT to just .HTM to use...

Wow,
I just finished enduring both the intro,
and the three part "Project" nightmare !

For the love of pizza, and all that is holy,
KrustyOne, get your $49.97 back at once !

You have 60 days for that no questions asked return.

Just download the two PDF's listed in my above post.



I had four pages of corrections for the intro,
and over six pages of corrections by the end
on just the first video for the "Project" !

I just want to slap this guy for gosh sakes !

And don't even get me started on the lack of lightning safety !



You do have one thing right (correct...),
this is a fairly good project for beginners.

No unsafe voltages or currents in fair weather.


We are bathed in electromagnetic fields of a vastly wide range of frequencies daily
do to massive power line infrastructures and way to many communication's towers.

From that loud hum when you touch a guitar amplifier input
because even your body makes a fair antenna to collect 60-CPS,
to the taxi and police splashing over on your stereo occasionally.

It is there to harvest, but the array to do that correctly is huge.

You can charge a phone, eventually even a battery,
but not really do to much more than that with this.

As long as storing for a long time, to do a little job is OK.





Others, take a glance at these pics below,
if you can't endure the vids I linked above.

This $49.97 "Project" is more shameful than "MagnaFakester" !

Thank you, I will return this.

Can you suggest a similar project that would be worth the effort?

[CompuTutor]

Yes, send me an email I can send stuff to in an IM/PM.

My wife is majorly disabled too, Im glad to help with projects for them,
disregard the Schottky diode recommendation in the above post,
I took a guess on them wanting a lower junction drop voltage.

Good quality detector diodes,
and caps with high quality dialectric's are what's needed here.

For others, there is a reason why two ceramic caps are in series,
don't overlook that and just use one, it is the reason this resonates
and feeds the archaic charge pump arrangements used here.

Two caps in series have been observed to produce odd phenomena...



I'll forward info as email attachments instead,
rather than loading Stefans server up with stuff.

Thanks for bringing this scoundral to all of our attentions too.



I didn't have any schematic utilities on the Win-ME laptop
I was on at that moment, so I gave a freebee by Rimu a try.
http://www.hutson.co.nz/rimu.htm
It is free with a 100-pin limit, and runs on a 9x kernel OS just fine.

There are many out there though, here just one list.

Here is what those "Project" pictures look like in schematic form:

Great, I replied to your PM with my email.
Thanks!
