This man shows you how to get electricity out of thin air. I could be wrong but I think I saw this type of technique used by Tesla in the documentary posted previously. VIDEO->

2-14-2008 in 12:21:12Ya thats what I thought first…
But after reading few articles it might actually be possible. Apperantly even Tesla used electricity from air but im not sure if its the same thing. This could indeed be a fake how to video.

2-14-2008 in 18:19:36i think this is possible as i heard phillips is working on a wireless battery charger that moves electricity through waves…

4-1-2008 in 12:12:35Tesla was an unsung genius and many of his theories were passed of as bunk. He did in fact draw electricity from thin are and in fact he did have a solution to trnsfer electricity over long distances without the use of wires. He even demonstrated his theory in the lab with a BALL OF PLASMA that he held in his hand and played with infront of other scientists. There are many applications where electricity is drawn from thin air, the most common example is a crystal radio. EM, is a major factor in many areas of isolation where other fields effect components or cause damage due to stray fields. In pyrotechnics for the film industry, EM is a danger to premature detonation and even with shunting, mis-fires do occur. It is possible to draw electricity from thin air even if it is capacitance charges that are drawn off in a regulated fashion. Thus, if there is a EM field from any radio wave, a field can be captured and harnessed to produce a DC current. I just don’t recommend setting up a collection field under DWP’s high tension line, sure you can get free 110v power, but when they find the line loss, the fee’s could be devastating. Just ask the guy in Van Nuys California who was collecting power for ten years until DWP found the coil and shut him down.

4-25-2008 in 06:00:59ive seen a magnetic ball and coil for charging mobile phones and that won a british award . but couldent your circuit diagram constantly charge mobile phones so longe as the carier signal is in the air . it could be the next generation of mobiles that dont need chargers.

5-24-2008 in 18:48:05Actually, something like this was made during one of the world wars. Dug-in combatants would use the power of radio waves on an antenna to power their own makeshift radios. Of course, the radios were extremely small and the sound was incredibly weak. Still, it was a battery-less radio.

9-26-2008 in 05:40:18i can’t verify this specific video, but the concept is sound and legit. the russians used technology like this years and years ago. and the CIA used (and prob still use) the same techniques. in fact (not quite the same thing but close) in 1945 there was a bug called “The Thing” in a wooden U.S. seal plaque in the american embassy in moscow. it got electricity from microwaves that were beamed at it from the russians. it’s called a passive capacity resonator. some trivia i hope some of you to find interesting.
P.S. it was there for 7 years undetected

11-30-2008 in 06:46:12This video is false. With a very large (50 meters +) antenna you might be able to gather 2 nano amps at best from radio waves… thats only if you have a 100 megawatt radio station close to you. This guy is showing 2 or more amps, totally bogus. If you were able to convert it to the right voltage to charge a cell phone, it would take 50 years to charge it.
And to correct some people here, Tesla did NOT pull electricity from the air. He used a great deal more electricity to power the coil than he was able to get out of it, he was able to send electricity through the air, not pull electricity out of it.

2-10-2009 in 04:55:43This idea is worth exploring. How about giving all the specs of the capacitors and diodes so we can actually test if the circuit really works?
Keith King said,
2-18-2009 in 04:08:55Tesla did pull electricity from air. Used zinc plate with capacitor on top 1 leg going to 2 coil to another cap. A sharp point on the cap on top to discharge + or =
ions all grounded with iron pole 40 ft with torsion coil wrap around pole and supposedly a copper plate at bottom of pole in ground called Radiant energy device same thing comes off Eypdtion wall cept cap is lion (which means storge)(lion had sharp sword in hand raised) tongue hanging out (never figured that on out)
Iron pole with torsion coil a turtle going down from plate touching pole a snake wrapped around spear (coil)
an alligator type going up the pole mmmm some must have been trippin some where
KK I didnt read or watch the how to just commented

4-26-2009 in 21:39:39To mr. KillerBeez… wtf are you talking about? First of all, ofcourse you cant gather too many amps… Second of all, he didnt gather over 2 amps, he gathers over 2 Volts.. please think about what your going to say and review the information you are criticizing before you post something to the public world of the internet. People like you piss everyone off, and make people doubtful of everything on the internet. Stop trying to pretend you know anything.

5-30-2009 in 04:01:28but will 1N400x diodes work too?
Anonymous said,
7-28-2009 in 18:27:12@xteam
yes the 1n400x will work but you will only get 0.05V
so it’s better if you get germaniumdiods
im currently looking for some but there aren’t to many
electonic stores in sweden

9-9-2009 in 09:52:21Ok, so I tried it on a breadboard, and it worked, to a fashion. The voltage did indeed get to about 2 volts, but slowly dropped to zero after a few minutes, however, this may be due to the ceramic capacitors I used which were a higher value that what he is using in the video, simply because I didn’t have any at the time. I was using an antenna of about 3 inches in length. I will play around some more with this, I might see if more than one circuit can be connected together in series or in parallel.

1-1-2010 in 01:19:27I have consider something along these lines except tapping into the Earth’s natural electric field fluctuations rather than radio waves. My idea consists of building a capacitor array based on the electric rocket found on Bill Beatty’s website and perhaps modifying the design a bit to make the whole thing into an electrolytic capacitor array. See the Keelynet file on Greg Hodowanec, grav1.asc for more info on this idea. I did some checking on how an electrolytic capacitor is able to accumulate a 1 volt charge from just sitting around. What I found was that it was from the fluctuations in the Earth’s natural electric field caused by various ojects moving through it rather that what Hodowanec claimed was the cause. The more movement and the faster the capacitors would accumulate a charge. The less movement and the slower the charge that was accumulated.

3-14-2010 in 11:08:01this world is full of lazy idiots.before you slam this and say it doenst work, try it and see for yourself. yeah but then you would half to get off your fat asses. easier just to say its fake.

3-30-2010 in 06:30:20Totally FAKE VIDEO,
I tired it & found that “NO POWER PRODUCING” from it.
DONT BREAK UR HEAD HERE by Wasting ur valuable time.

4-16-2010 in 14:12:33I have been working on building something like this to power my trailer for years…. now I use Solar Panels, but need something to produce electricity in a Non-Mechanical way, for night time power…

7-30-2010 in 15:01:38i’ve looked at stuff like this before… i do think the longer the antenna the more voltage you will be able to gather but this is just an observation while playing with long antenna arrays.
Pete said,
8-3-2010 in 14:40:24this idea certainly works look up crystal radio which from the radio signal had enough power to power headphones, also a television program called mythbusters did test the circuit and produced enough power to run a small LCD clock

8-22-2010 in 15:20:26This video is fake
While it is possible to reverse radio waves back into usable electricity the parts this guy used are wrong. The voltage may be 2v but the amps dont exist, in order to charge the phone you need xvolts and xamps. Just look at the charger to any phone and it tells you exactly what it uses. So using the parts and curcuit provided in the video you just wasted your money. In any case you would need to be very close to the transmitter on a radio tower to power something like an mp3 player let alone charge a phone.
