Trees fall down in storms and break power lines.
Higher water particulate in the air will cause reflection, scattering, and diffraction of radio waves. If a device worked on the fundamentals of electromagnetism, then there is cause for concern. All three inventors, Figuera, Kapanadze, and Barbosa & Leal appear to utilize the same basic fundamentals.
Clemente Figuera used a Ruhmkorff coil as noted in his patent. Coincidently, a few years earlier Marconi used a Rhumkorff coil as a Radio Wave transmitter in his early experiments. You certainly wouldn't use a Ruhmkorff coil if the fundamentals of your device was traditional induction. The argument can be made that Clemente used Radio Waves as a fundamental of his device and notes in newspaper reports that the operation of the device is a consequence of electromagnetism and not just magnetism. Later after his death Buforn, in his patents, speaks of cosmic energy (Radio Waves) and hints at Tesla's wireless transmission of power.
In the few Kapanadze videos I viewed I see there is some form of a Faraday cage used. Very obvious in the larger Turkish unit and in his first video. In Kapanadze's first video, there is a circular tin can next to his coil. That is his Faraday cage and the device in there must be transmitting radio waves. Everything outside that can is worthless eye candy. Notice in the preceding Green Box video that the metal can, (or what was inside the can) is hidden in the green box, but he is using the same eye candy coil to distract from his first video. There is only one
very small segment in that video that is worth anything. There is a point he (or someone, can't remember) is standing near the unit with a Clamp On amp meter, and he (Tariel) makes the most interesting comment regarding what is going on with the meter. He states (paraphrasing)
The generated field affects the meter he was referring to what was going on with the amp meter that wasn't clamped to anything. It appears currents started circulating in the clamp-on meter (as noted in the video by a comment), and the meter was reacting with a reading. The only thing that can do that from a distance is an electromagnetic wave and not simple induction.
With Barbosa & Leal, there is also evidence that they are using some form of Radio Wave. In one video I saw Leal goes as far as to put on a rubber glove to switch a motor on. This is the type of glove a lineman would wear, so the question is
what was he worried about? Maybe it was for show but their patents speak of the fundamentals of some form of Radio Wave device.
Also in their device, the ground is looped around a closed coil, as verified by an individual on another forum who took apart a non-functioning device many years ago. Yet, in the videos and patent they speak of a current on the ground wire (Kapanadze also), the only way you can produce a current on a single wire open circuit ground is to use some type of antenna setup. Barbosa & Leal device also uses a metal box that houses their device that is most likely acting as a Faraday cage, and the heavy aluminum section inside filled with epoxy may be the top capacitance of their antenna.
All three devices develop the total energy output in the generator, and Clemente also claimed
total energy is developed in the device and ready for usage, like Barbosa & Leal. I don't recall seeing a video of Kapanadze metering the ground with no load connected. But I am sure he also always has current to ground. In one B&L video, I recall seeing a device delivering an initial 100 amps at the closed loop before a 9 amp load is connected. After connecting a 9 amp load, the current on their closed-loop drops to 91 amps, and the current on their load is 9 amps. So it appears they can keep adding loads until all 100 amps are utilized. I understand that may be similar to a typical generator, but these devices are always doing work as noted by constant amperage whereas a typical generator can run but sit unloaded at zero amps.
Not looking to hi-jack the thread; my apologies if I did. I came across the initial weather comment someone made while searching. I found that comment to be completely inline with what I have been researching in regard to radio wave propagation.
