I think the reason the extension cord did nothing is because in an electric circuit, the electrons move out in one wire and back in another. But in that cord all the wires have the overhead lines pushing the electrons the same direction, cancelling out any voltage. You would have to get one of the wires out of the electric field (e.g. a really large loop of cable) in order to see a voltage. One possibility is to use your coax cable, as the inner conductor is shielded from the field by the outer sheath. So if you connected the inner conductor and the shield together at one end of the cable, you would have a long run in one direction (the shield) and an isolated run back again (the inner conductor) which won't generate an opposing voltage because it's shielded. In theory this would give you the highest voltage/current and you wouldn't need to connect to earth. It'd be interesting to try it out as this idea sounds good in theory but you never know until you try it.
A couple of commenters wanted me to try just a cable on the ground; that's why I did it. I didn't get anything out of it, because the energy fields were being grounded out, right where it was at; in the snow and weeds. -it was about what I expect. Same thing happens if I had it too close to the trees, that are on the side of the easement. -the trees dampen out the every fields. Yes, I do think I would have gotten a little more electricity if I used the inner conductor too. Thanks
The cool thing is, even if you had an elaborate setup ang gathered MASSIVE amounts of power...you arent "stealing it"...that power is "leaking" due to physics all the time, you are just collecting it. There is no recourse from the power company - even if you collected MWh DAILY every minute (you couldn't) - it is physics...they can bill you for that. lol like collecting sawdust from a sawmill to somehow make your own wood...just an illustration, I know sawdust is used for other purposes....just an illustration
What DMI needs is an old microwave transformer. One wire is allready grounded. And the secundary windings gives above 10 volts. Then a diode to a car battery. And a long parallel blank wire, at 2 feet of the line. The succes is ensured.
My sister lived right next to hv transmission lines , she was always sick with something, she died at 60 from retaining water , even after she moved she was sick all the time from this or that . Her immune system was almost zero from being over charged, I don’t think she knew about grounding. I remember being there when the moisture fog ect was heavy , you could hear the current moving thru the lines , just a constant zzzzzz
Yes, your sister was very sick, because this stuff is hidden from the public, how extremely harmful it is. And when someone dies its egnored. It makes them too much money they're not going to stop it.
Power company conspiracy. People were getting sick from the PCBs, soil and groundwater contamination from the transformer oil they were spilling all over the ground instead of the magnetic fields.
That wasn't the current moving through the lines, it's corona discharge caused by the high voltage and high humidity. There is currently no evidence one way or another about how power lines affect people. Some people get sick living near them, but many don't. Last I looked into it, the rates of illness were no higher near power lines than anywhere else. So for the moment it's an unknown. It seems like it doesn't do anything in the short term, but also there haven't been any long term studies of people who lived there their whole lives.
@@vink6163 It is likely that it affects some conditions but not most conditions. I wonder if @brianolson1158 sister ate a lot of salt. The retaining water was likely CHF. Was she also very heavy? Did she have a stroke before she died?
@@doubleMinnovations I did the same thing years ago Sir. Remember that I layed many wires and was charging batteries and powering small items also. Just do not remember more than that double M. Good day and peace too. v
As to your coax line experiment, I'd like to try a coax ( or any type of wire line) line, loop back and forth numerous times, parallel to the HV lines. I would like to know if the energy collected increases. This would take time to set up. If I lived near you, I would assist and contribute to the experiment. Very, very interesting.
The more conductive material in the fields of these power lines, the more energy in the conductor raises. Doesn't need to be wires. I tried a 2' square piece of sheet metal, held shoulder high, at the edge of the easement, and it was showing 350 volts.
Read about the "Ice pail experiment" then go and find yourself a nice hollow metal sphere, like the top of a Van De Graff generator. Not kidding. It will be spectacular and a hell of a lot safer than that 88uF capacitor.
I came here to say this, however I looked up the wave length.. quarter would put him over 4 million feet of wire. He could do 500.2 feet for a very small fraction.. or 62.5 feet for an even smaller fraction. I would be curious to see how it changes his experiments.
They actually do make a "grounding suit" that is used by tower workers who must service high power transmitter antennas while they are actually transmitting. The suit is grounded to the tower. It will protect the workers as they make repairs. Some complain about feeling hot in the suits.
This is only milliamps. Drones use tens of amps. Even accounting for the voltage difference it's about 10,000 times less power than you need for a small drone.
I found the biggest blackberries iv ever seen under some big power lines. I later found out that magnets can increase or decrease yield from treated seeds. They also can make treated fruits grow large and watery from one pole and small and flavourful from the other. The power line I am talking about was buzzing and sparking in a way that made me feel uneasy. The blackberries at the base of the steel tower were all about an inch wide, normal blackberries in this area are about a quarter of an inch wide.
@@vink6163 True, I tasted one and it was not so great. It was quite obviously the same type as all the surrounding ones just positioned right at the bottom of a sparking buzzing 50m tall pylon.
Looking for an invention that's for sale to put out in my yard that will keep a battery bank charged up to supply electricity for home. Why buy solar panels when this current of electricity is in the ground, in the air, in the antennas? Need some help to get a product that will sit outside and charge batteries.
Why buy solar panels? Because they work, they are a proven technology, and cheap second hand panels on an overcast day will put out thousands of times the energy that you can harvest from the air. If all you want to do is power a single LED then the ground/air power is fine, but most people want to run more than that. That's why power stations don't use those technologies - they've been investigated but the power you can extract is too little to be of much use normally, and too great to handle when it comes in the form of lightning. That's why you don't see those products for sale. You'd probably use more electricity in the manufacture of the device than you'd ever produce even if you used it for years.
@@vink6163any invention that can draw useful/useable power from the lines will be detectable by the producers of the power as an unbalanced drain on the system and will show at substations upstream of your site
It depends on the frequency. Different sized internal organs have their own frequencies. So if it matches like two tuning forks, it will cause heating. Many people who have been working long times with radio have nerve damage. So their hands are shaking etc. Some people are more sensitive than others.
@@Kangsteri Radio is *many* times the frequency of mains AC though, and it's known to cause heating and damage (after all, that's how a microwave works). But 50/60 Hz mains appears to be too low to cause damage, at least in the short term. I'm not aware of any long term studies of people who lived under power lines for their whole lives though, so the jury is still out on that one. My personal feeling is that it does nothing, because your skin would even out the voltage and it wouldn't penetrate into your body the way high frequency RF can.

You might try an experiment to make a quarter wave or a half wave dipole antenna tune for 60 hertz to capture the resonate energy from power line
First that man aint a ham. And 60 Hz makes a dipole of 2500 kM ! How can you advice this ??

I think I will try it again after spring break-up, when it's dry.

Hide Tesla secondary coils in fence posts and collect power.
I wonder if it could power a drone? If so, maybe too much noise for a signal?
This is only milliamps. Drones use tens of amps. Even accounting for the voltage difference it's about 10,000 times less power than you need for a small drone.
What if the power plants were just for show and the power lines grabbed the aether from the sky like you’re grabbing the power from the line 🤔

Voltage does not go through you. Current does.
cant have one without the other. like sound has frequency and amplitude - withouth both, there is nothing...at all.
What does it do to one? Is it harmful?
I don't think anyone really knows for sure... But there are accusations.
It depends on the frequency. Different sized internal organs have their own frequencies. So if it matches like two tuning forks, it will cause heating. Many people who have been working long times with radio have nerve damage. So their hands are shaking etc. Some people are more sensitive than others.
You should ask this about EV riders with 100's of amp near to them in pulses.
