I have been following this topic for a long time. My resources are limited and am looking for a budget solution!
I have a few patents that may interest you:
GENERATING ELECTRICITY FROM THE Earth https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/b6/a3/21/9587c2f8e180cb/US9712036.pdf
HARMONIC ENERGY EXCHANGE DEVICE https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/aa/2a/e5/44a49d06404e0a/US20080191580A1.pdf
PYRAMID ELECTRIC GENERATOR (attached)
Your thoughts would be appriciated.
Well patent applications apart, the format to extract energy from our atmosphere is similar to tuning a radio into the station you want to hear, except in the atmosphere the energy is a type of cold plasma or a static charge similar to the charge within a capacitor. Tuning into this charge is the task that needs to be accomplished, but not in an electro magnetic way such as radio waves, but as in a cold plasma, the active medium within the atmosphere. The phrase “electrified gas” is commonly used to describe a plasma state. What makes a plasma is that electrons are knocked out of orbit of an atom and the atom becomes charged, i.e., it becomes an “ion.” The process of creating the charged atom from a ground state atom is called “ionization.” Ordinarily, the number of protons, positively charged particles, and electrons, negatively charged particles, are equal in an atom and its charge is neutral. Such a balanced charged atom or molecule is called a “neutral” atom/molecule. When one or more electrons are removed by ionization then the charge balance is no longer neutral. In the case of a positive ion the charges of the number protons are greater than the number of electrons resulting in a net positive charge. Because an ion is electrically unbalanced, it wants to quickly find another electron to return to a neutral state. A lightning flash illustrates the transient nature of this process. The ionized air molecules that constitute the flash quickly restore the charge imbalance and hence the lightning flash goes away quickly. Because plasmas are so unstable, maintaining a plasma, so that it becomes a useful tool, is quite difficult, especially at atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric plasma is a plasma produced at one atmosphere of pressure—in other words the same pressure as the atmosphere we live in every day. I know the way to do this thanks to Steven Mark, and my investigations into his TPU (by the way it is only shaped as a toroid). My problem atm is one of stability and is proving a real bitch to sort out, but I’m close. The SM root I think is the best, though the Dally, Shark, Rusland is similar in operation, it seems messy to me. Cost!! well both use lots of wire, though I think the electronics of the TPU are more straight forward and are down to a 1st and 2nd harmonic and duty cycle relation. What ever, you need a good oscilloscope fore tuning the electronics. Regards Mike
