crystal radio: the first real free energy device

Guru or not, can you notice the load is directly connected in parallel with the 8000V source?

I used the same idea as in a triode circuit above.
But I will gladly approve any better design!

This perhaps is the better solution for the power take out.

 I'm by no means an expert here, but here are some of my thoughts on your theories of pulling a current out of the Ether instead of your actual supply:
1: It is in no way advanced knowledge that electricity will take the path of least resistance. Therefore, in your diagram in post #134, the load is going to pull whatever power it needs from the supply, and the rest will be left to burn up in the modified triode device. Unless you are somehow creating miniature fission reactions with the alpha particles, nothing is going to feed back out to the load.
2: As for post #137, and my above comment, using a standard Tesla coil as a load is just going to draw off the main supply, and even if you used a transformer that has primary windings for 8000V, all that will be accomplished is a Tesla coil. If you aim to use the toroid or dome to draw energy from the Ionosphere, you will need to aim to reach the highest possible altitude with the toroid or dome in order to pull energy off of Earth's magnetosphere and the Ionosphere. If your aim is to draw static energy from the flow of water in the aquifers and it's channels, you will need to be positioned over a major aquifer and get deep enough to tap the static field that surrounds the rushing water.

If the goal is to draw on a power source that is not fed by the circuit supply, it must be an open circuit, and maybe it would be wise to get back to what Mr Tesla was doing with Colorado Springs and Wardenclyffe, and like I stated above, reach to the sky or "dig/drill for China" and get down to the aquifers, preferably to a layer of granite to maximize the static charge you can draw from.   It can probably be done on a  smaller scale using a stream, spring, or an artificial setup using living water. The more static charge, the better.

I have not done any of these things myself as of late, so don't start your attempts off of my words. Go research Mr Tesla's work for yourself and decide what is the best and most feasible method.  I may be a bit inaccurate in my above statements since I have only spent limited amount of time studying Mr Tesla's patents, notes, books, and plans thus far, but in my opinion, this is the direction in which people should be trying to go to start.  In my opinion, if one does not understand the basis of Mr Tesla's earlier work that led up to his discovery of the ether, there is a very small chance that one will actually succeed in drawing energy from it, unless they just happen to accidentally stumble upon a setup that does exactly that.

Not trying to be a buzzkill here or anything, but it would be great if we could bring this back to the topic of designing/building/testing/modifying crystal radios and experimenting with the main components in said devices without running off on wild tangents, untested theories and various other devices that have very little to do with crystal radios.  If two or more people are interested in following up on any various ideas not closely related to the crystal radio, another thread can always be started and linked to in this thread. 

I personally, along with several others I'm sure, have not yet learned very much about crystal radios and their operation and would very much like to do so.  I know to some of you this seems like child's play and you are bored with it, but many people aren't and would love to learn more.  Of course this is just a suggestion since I in no way have any control over what's said and done in this forum.

Thank you.
Kind regards,
Brian

I think this is actually a part of a common knowledge.

2: using a standard Tesla coil as a load is just going to draw off the main supply,

This is not the case, they use it as an antenna.

This is exactly what post 137 is about
