All that current flowing through....and he's hardly even be detected as load on any transmission lines 👍 smart hippie respect

He would need several kilowatts at 240 volts. Not sure if that is possible. Has anyone else accomplished this? In any case, picking up power from the magnetic field of a transmission line is not the same thing as getting free energy from the atmosphere as thsi video is claiming.

​@@8546Ken Where you getting 240 volts from?

@@8546Ken I don't know if others did it, but I know he did, one of the three ways that he could get near his still was past my place and I would see him coming and going. He was a friend. I never saw his rig, he was rather private about it. He would drop off a "gift" now and then. A large water heater would use 4000 watts (4kw) which could be produced by a medium-sized gas generator.

@@jameshatton4405 I wonder if the load is fed back to the generator as back emf and back torque at all.

😂😂😂

Yes, this is it from what I can gather

YES!! And it was J.P. Morgan who censored him by paying the media to trash talk Tesla. Sound familiar?

Tesla did not tap into a source of free power. He put power into the air with his Tesla coil, Whatever he extracted was part of what he first transmitted.

@@8546Ken he put it into the permafrost actually, yes whatever he put in he could take out more importantly there was no waste.

"belittled by competitors?". Allow me to clarify. Tesla was a brilliant understudy of Thomas Edison. Thomas Edison had only come up with DC (Direct Current), which in order to power communities/cities would require many power substations all over the place to carry the power from point a to point b. Tesla developed AC (Alternating Current) which testing eventually proved, carries itself much further distances efficiently. Edison's ego wouldn't let him acknowledge that AC was better so yes, belittled the concept and refused to pursue it, so Tesla left on his own, developing AC further. JP Morgan was already financially backing Edison, who was in JP Morgan's back pocket. As the potential for Tesla's AC was clearly proving to be far superior to DC for powering communities/cities, Tesla (apparently along with other of his creations) made it known that his goal was to provide power to the masses - FOR FREE. JP Morgan, wanting to build a profit (Intangible) commodity, approached Tesla to acquire his AC system. Tesla remained steadfast on his FREE ENERGY TO THE MASSES philosophy which negated Morgan's profitability goal, so Morgan put big $ behind Edison's DC and propagandized the public about the dangers of Alternating Current by promoting a public demonstration event supposedly demonstrating the dangers of Alternating Current. With a massive crowd & news media present, Edison & Morgan grotesquely connected an elephant to a massive source of AC and electrocuted the poor animal to death. Morgan's $ & Edison's propagandized reputation ("competitors"?) continued the campaign against Tesla in any way they could to where eventually Tesla ended up with certain bankruptcy. That's when Morgan came in to force Tesla into signing over his AC system, and so General Electric was born. Tesla spent his last days alone in an apartment and died as such. THIS, is one of multiple reasons why whenever possible I'll buy any competitor's comparable product before I'll buy a General Electric product. And by the way yes, that is why you have an electric bill to this day.

The telaric currents change if clouds travel overhead according to old research on telaric (earth) waves

I have seen where they launch small rockets trailing a fine wire behind them, to cause a discharge of the static in the general area. I am not sure of the results over all, but, they were supposed to protect larger rockets carrying sensitive electronics from damage, when they were fired.

that is the most stupid thing I've read today. " I'm familiar with how the voltage rises with altitude. I made myself a storm warning device, which detects a charge build-up as a thunderstorm approaches." YOU said that an approaching storm's electric field is evidence of elevation = voltage. You even explain that the cause it the storm and then claim that this proves something unrelated. Either stupid or intentionally misleading - I'll choose stupid.

@@jeffreyyoung4104 yes you can 'earth' a cloud. This is charge cause by moisture in the clouds rubbing together NOT anything to do with a fantasy that 1M of height magically creates 100v of PD.

There are static potentials in the atmosphere, but you can't extract energy from those.

I know much about electricity. Unfortunately, the community is enthusiastic but not competent. Energy from atmosphere is best researched. Although there is a voltage gradient of about 100 volt per meter the power behind this electricity is minuscule. When a load is connected, this voltage breaks down at once. Which is fortunate, since we wouldn't feel well with almost 200 Volt from feet to the head! Voltage alone is not power, you need a current also, and you don't get a reasonable current form atmosphere. Electrostatic motors as shown in this video are known since a long time. They can be run with a suitable power supply but power from atmosphere is much to weak to run a useful motor.

​@@durchblick6886 i dont buy it a bit!!

@@brianlee9310 You should listen to @durchblick6886 the video early on demonstrates how little he understands about physics and electricity. Paraphrasing "When the voltage is low the force isn't very big and you can't do a lot with it", bizarre conflation of voltage, force and work. This is high school level stuff, truly disappointing that he and others have been failed through childhood education. I'm not just sad that people believe it, I'm sad because a 14 year old kid would realise it's nonsense, why can't adults?

I'm the same mate, my dads much better at understanding this stuff. I'll run it by him, he'll be pleased I'm sure?...

No they're just stoked because they don't know anything except potential. Or they're 8 years old.

@@tabascoraremaster1 Enamel or polyurethane had a very high die electric constant which is the main reason I used it. And also it's easy to use because I can just spray it.

Your issue is known as CTI or a comparative tracking index. Just check for this property and yes, porous plastics that can soak atmospheric water are quite bad for the task indeed.

How much magnitudes more effective would this be with a different material? Metallic or precious metal?

@@andyfumo8931 Special type of metals is not necessary. What's really important is keeping moisture out because water will reduce its effectiveness by a lot. Plastic absorbs a good amount of water which makes it a bad material for this project. Glass also absorbs water to a certain degree. Another important thing is by reducing sharp corners and points to prevent leakage of charge into the atmosphere.... These type of machines depend highly on surface area. If you want a powerful generator, you will need larger discs and use materials that keep moisture out.

Sand battery?

He could be talking about using material store heat and then realease when needed. So you have sand or something pipe going some loops in middle and outside really well insulated. You heat it with some cheap energy and when you need heat you push cold air trough pipe to access that stored heat. "Cheap", easy to build and efficient but currently emerging tech, in use in one municipal in Finland. Best really for industrial uses.

@@extended_e thanks

Love to see/hear more on this.

A storage heater in modern day terms.

Electrostatic motors exist since a long time, but their power is poor. And can you drive them with energy from atmosphere? No. Electrostatic motors and energy from the air have no relevance for the household. A fact, which is unfortunately not mentioned in this video. There is indeed a strong voltage gradient of 100V per meter in our atmosphere, but there is no power behind. If you try to use the energy from atmosphere, this voltage breaks down at once. That's why Robert runs his motor from a high voltage supply connected to the plug and not from an antenna collecting energy from atmosphere.

@@heinzpg Watch the video again and pay close attention to what Robert says?

You can get acid resistant ink, I believe and us it to make masks for etching, or you can make a mask with normal ink then use a photo-etch-resistant PCB technique. But a microscopically thin coating of copper grains from an inkjet (if it were possible) would never give you anything like the low resistance or reasonable current capacity you need for many circuits (unless it is all low power ICs with no descrete components.)

@@occamraiser I was looking at copper impregnated U.V. ink. This would allow the ink to be built up in layers, similar to a 3D printer. Also has the advantage that the tracks can be of different thickness on the same board. Haven't found anything worth investigating further though.

Yes I was impressed then disappointed that earth energy wasn't used. I thought that was the whole point?

Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of physics understands this is all quackery. The titles. "What big oil doesn't want you to know." It's all garbage. Making a small propeller turn or ball bearing move is cute.....but scale it up and the net output of the machine has to produce enough power to be commercially viable. I think folks forget that a power plant has to power itself first🤔.

the point he makes at the end that it's an accessible and quick to build motor at home with much less metal parts, just the fact that you can build it with minimal parts without any soldering is pretty interesting on it's own

The content of this video is not fantastic at all. The voltage gradient of about 100 Volts per meter in atmosphere is well known, but there is no power behind. Why do you think he drives his motor with a high voltage generator run from a plug and not from an antenna? Because you can't get reasonable power from atmosphere. The atmospheric voltage breaks down at once if a load is connected.

@@heinzpg cool story .. I dont understand a word you just said here, I was refering to his entire channel and the content he is making, anyways have a good day

@@spoiledbeans7402 Well, I must confess I have only seen three videos of this channel so far. In all of them he claimed to present devices which are innovative and somehow superior to the devices in common use. This may be very catching for those without knowledge in this field. For me as an electrical engineer (MSc) nothing was new and nothing really superior and fit for practical use. After all, if these things would be so superior, they would be in practical use already.

@@heinzpg thats ok I am not looking for superiority or anything like that, he has a few Videos that go into theory for people with no electrical engineering background and it is quiet accessible and easy to follow, but more importantly he instills interest and excitement encouraging people to research and learn, which is nice..

Same , and then you see lightning for the “first time” if only..

That static came from you shuffling your shoes on plastic carpet though

@@janeblogs324 that is what I found out. But it was not manifest until I touched a metal doorknob. That one thing spawned many questions, which Dad easily answered. Such a small incident actually made me more curious about the whole world.

It's DC, transformers require AC.

I was thinking on similar lines as to how to get a 12V car battery to charge using this genius idea. In fact that charging circuit doesn’t even need this machine but maybe two long Antenna sticking out in the woods up high above ground maybe 300-500 ft. Tall.

Google "free energy pjk book" and download it. Find the section on electrostatics. After tesla's device there is a scalable circuit that will directly charge a battery with a ground and an aerial.

I think the Earth is powered by frequencies generated by the movement in orbit. I believe the core of a planet is hot because the frequency is heating it like a microwave oven.

Really? You've never heard of Tesla?

Seems like the awesome uncle I wish I had. The one that does all the really cool fun stuff :)

Electrical power distribution by radio waves has been a 'thing' since Maxwell and Tesla. Ditto collecting static from clouds since Ben Franklin's near suicidal experiment. But apart from thunder storms there is negligible power available unless you are sitting underneath an H.T. transmission line - and I wonder if you'd get accused of stealing electricity because sucking up all that radio frequency radiation presumably causes more power to be lost from the lines as there is no field opposing additional field generation (just thinking aloud there BTW)

problem of using these motors to drive anything I feel has too many losses of friction (heat) and other mechanical loss in conection to a useful thing (dynamo to charge a battery/ air or fluid pump / compressor - certainly not a lathe I would have thought

@@occamraiser inductive coupling to power lines is considered theft and they can detect when it's happening.

@@schrodingerscat1863 in addition, for it to draw any reasonable load you need to position your inductor as close as possible. Which invariable sits inside the heavily regulated and controlled land beneath power lines.

@@beardedchimp the Inductor is placed directly beneath power lines. This is often farm land with inductors placed at the edge of fields.

Don't think these youtube videos work. They make money from views

I have been thinking a lot about gravity, anti gravity and, magnetism.

​@Brentfrequ have you reached any conclusion?

magnetic ramps could be the future of making motors that run on magnetism only without power

magnetism very much needs more thoroughly researched the universe is electromagnetic (or more precisely magnetoelectric)! I actually got the concept for an essentially free energy/perpetual motion device bestowed on me by the universal consciousness. Also the concept itself is quite simple (couldn't believe I or anyone else hadn't come up with it before) it's an alternator in which no parts are in contact they are held in place using magnetic attraction and repulsion to levitate the parts as well as magnets arranged in such a way to have a slight pull/acceleration of the cool of the alternator. It would constantly increase the amount of energy it produces until the material q breaks down and the only investments would be cost ofmaterials and energy to build it but nothing beyond that!

@@repaer20622 maybe you should try building one. I also got some ideas, that I will try out soon. Just waiting for my magnets to arrive 😊

@@brianlybarger6032 Obviously YOUR knowledge of motors is limited, LOL. It depends on the type of motor, sometimes the windings spin and sometimes not. There is a rotor (it turns) and a stator (it is STATIONARY and does not turn). The windings can be on either.
