World's first real Free Energy Flashlight - no shaking - no batteries! No Solar

Well it is indeed possible to make a self charging torch,although it would have to be a little more efficient than my setup. But non the less,it dose work,and dose self charge.

Of course, if you do not mind running around with a football-stadium-sized device, everything can be done.

That was a 25 farad cap,and a very small antenna. If the antenna was around the outside of the torch body,along with a better circuit,you could charge a 1.5 volt battery within 5 hour's i would think,and get back 1/2 an hour of usable light.

It would all depend on the EM strength in the area you are in.
I would think out in the middle of nowhere,it would not work so well.

First of all you have a coil there and we cannot know whether it did not pull the power from a nearby emitter, or simply from the EM field radiated by some wires running along, which is very likely. Take it to the backyard, to the street, or to a park, for a slightly more objective measuring. Then, if I understood correctly, you measured 0.175V at 0.003A - that gives the charging power of 525μW. For charging a single 1.5V cell (~3Wh), you would need 5700 hours (~8 months). For charging three AA cells and powering a 3W/120lm LED at full power during 3 hours (9Wh), you would need to charge the batteries during two full years. And that's only under the condition, that we ignore the limited efficiency of the charging, and the internal leakage of the batteries. Otherwise you would likely never finish.

Well i dont know what video you were watching Jr,but the whole recharging system dose work on pulling in the energy from emitted EM waves from a nearby radio station--so what's your point?.

Then, if I understood correctly, you measured 0.175V at 0.003A - that gives the charging power of 525μW. For charging a single 1.5V cell (~3Wh),

No,the system was drawing 3mA @ .175 volt's--that was not the charging current.

@Tinman As usual you took the easy way out and resorted to actually building a circuit testing it and making a video proving something is possible,  when you could have focused on endless debates, conjecture and just making stuff up like everyone else here does.   

Great work as always :-)
