I implore you to touch up upon this further in another video. This is truly amazing stuff, I don’t know why this hasn’t been looked into more. I would love to see the potential this could have for humanity
The power level here is so low it doesn't have much potential. It requires a long antenna, and you need to live fairly close to a AM radio station for this to work.

This has been done for many decades. As a kid in the 1970s, I built a free power device from the book "104 Easy Projects for the Electronics Gadgeteer" but I changed the diode to a full wave bridge made of germanium diodes. Tuning to a strong station generated more than enough power to power a one transistor regenerative receiver that required .6 volts to function. The regen itself was based upon a 1960 article for a candle-powered radio by Professor Massoud Anwar, but I replaced the thermoionic battery with the free power device from the aforementioned book. So, this is nothing new, people just seem to have forgotten about it. Think about it - Maxwells equations, the work of Farraday, all pointed to an invisible force field generated by electrical energy - an electromagnetic wonder - all of those power lines are sending out these magnetic waves that when crossing a conductor generates a current - so this is and has been common knowledge for forever and a day. I don't mean to sound like a pompous jerk, so if I come off that way, I apologize - it isn't my intention - I just want to encourage folks to look into these things and have fun with it.
I tried this 20 yrs ago when I got alittle electric shock while I was connecting antenna of my first crystal radio which worked fine but I gave up and prefferred going to the beach 😉😉 keep it up my pal👍👍
I have so many questions and not enough answers. I stumbled across a video of a guy in Zimbabwe powering a TV via radio waves. Immediately I new this could be possible with the proper step up transformer and various other solid state devices. That radio is cool, great job!
Unless someone lives right next to a radio station there is no way you will get enough power to operate a TV, People who make such scams are generally fakes. I made a video on this topic, and so have many others. ruclips.net/video/d0UjhHUrO74/видео.html
With any radio you are always intercepting some energy from the transmitter. The transmitter is radiating 5-50 kW so your interception is quite minor, I am very impressed that you are lighting up all those LEDs and receiving perhaps 20 mW of power (assuming this is not a trick)
people check out Maxwell Chikumbutso and his inventions , A car that don't need batteries , a TV that don't need a power plug , these are just a few of his inventions .
If you build 2 crystal radios and put a volt meter on one, you can see the load being applied to the other. Back when I did a lot of experimenting with crystal radio's I found that making the antenna a big loop and tuning it got more power received.
Amazing that you can pull so much power out of thin air! I think there is something different going on between the two coils presented towards the end of the video. In that case, there is some inductive coupling, whereas no inductive coupling is required to tune in a radio station. I like the way you recharge! This and detecting magnet twiddling were two of my favorites.
+KludgeCraft Yes I agree there is a difference in the way an RF wave is created and received, but as far as the electromagnetic wave itself goes I think it's characteristics are the same as a 60 hertz AC wave but faster. I think all of us techs need a little recharge time in search of our sanity :-)
+Grants Pass TV Repair the two coils you pulled out of a former would normally be magnetic coupled. Near field inductive coupling requires both coils be tuned to the same resonant frequency, and then needs no ferrous core.
+KludgeCraft Yes... such great efficiency. Put 1000s of watts out and someone miles away can collect milla to microwatts of it. This primitive 'science' is explained by the Friis transmission equation which single-handedly debunks any type of 'free' energy harvesting via electromagnetic waves. While his millawatts are 'free' its at the expense of someone else burning craploads of power to put those signals into the air.
Yes I'm well aware that this kind of energy harvesting is inefficient, and that someone else is paying for this energy, Nevertheless I still find the science behind this means of energy collection thought provoking. My own experiments with electromagnetism and induction would suggest that "Friis transmission equation" is probably correct, There's no "free energy" here, but since electricity and magnetism are not completely understood, I like to keep an open mind that perhaps one day someone will discover a new principle along these lines that will shed some light on what we think we know. I believe the universe is full of mysteries that need to be further explored.
+Grants Pass TV Repair Truly comprehend maxwell's equations and there will be little that "is not understood". However, there plenty of people who would prefer to be mystified by all the cool vernacular & applications as opposed to working through the mathematical rigor of known science. The cellular network wouldn't stand a chance of existing without incredible understanding of electromagnetism. If you and or others try to derive it yourself in a shack & ignore the work of others for the past 100s of years you will not get very far. One wouldn't understand a breakthrough even if it was right under your nose without the relevant theory.
Thanks, Dave. I like to play around with electronix also. That's how I found the backdoor of the Trip 5 IC - to control the IC using resistance through the reset pin. Of course, one could find that by studying the datasheet, but I was a newbie then and found it by playing around with the IC on a breadboard.
Late Thomas henry morray was fascinated with crystal radios as a child, he went on to make a free energy machine in the 1930s that made over 50kilowatts! (but I suspect it had radioactive matter placed into its components)..great video, it reminds me of Tesla, Morray, and many others who went into this kinda research! great looking envy making coils, keep up the good work...amazing part is that crystal radios work like shorted circuit that has an air coil in between the Antennae and the Ground, a tiny capacitor parallel to the coils, and a diode taps on one end of the coil to the high resistance earphone! its like listening in on the dc pulses of a short circuited coil!! my fascination with bedini coils started this fever 3 yrs ago!
Isaac Allgood there’s only six sentences. So they missed the last one, big deal. And anyway that isn’t hard physics (even if a lot is... questionable.) so maybe it’s just not that great of a comment?
wow i made this comment 4 yrs ago and i forgotten about it till i was recommended this video again by youtube! still a great video to visit again!! love seeing airwaves converted to usable light energy!
I think he said in the video, but regardless, it should work in either direction, because crystal radios flip flop their phases as the coil and capacitor oscillate, so both directions should work. One way might be brighter than the other way slightly, though, if the earpiece is soaking up some of the energy while in the same direction? I have no idea if that would be a meaningful amount of influence at all, though.
I should have shown that I have a switch which allows me to turn on the LEDs or the headphones. If I have them both on like my diagram shows the LEDs aren't as bright.
Sorry I didn't notice your question sooner Lilly.. The LEDs could have been placed after the diode, but had I done so there would be slightly less energy to my lights because of the voltage drop that occurs across a diode. The voltage drop is less than a volt which isn't much, but I wanted as much energy as possible going to my lights.
@@GrantsPassTVRepair Thank you! hehe it appears i watched this one already. EVERY xtal radio video i tried to watch to learn more on the hobby. It is very addicting, the crystal radio.
Magnetic coupling and electromagnetic resonance are very different. Unlike a transformer, your radio is a grounded tunable RC tank circuit with a rectified output. There is likely a radio transmission station within a few km of your antenna.
Your correct. We have Two AM radio stations about a mile away, One of them puts out 10,000 watts in the day, and 48 watts at night. I can tell by the intensity of the light when they lower their power.
@@erikk77 Yes this is correct. the power is generated by the radio station as I mentioned in this video. I'm also able to pick up quite a charge on my antenna when thunder clouds are gathering, but that has nothing to do with the energy I'm getting from our local AM broadcast stations.
I had a Radionic set many years ago and there was a crystal radio circuit that used the carrier wave to power a one transistor amplifier that made the radio louder in the earphone!
Doesnt seem very cost-effective, but its cool. If they can harvest cosmic radiation in future, it can help to power interstellar probes like Voyager for centuries. Still, nuclear generators are probably the primary choice then. Unless it becomes a very handy and improved technology.
Very cool Rf for power. There is a transmission line a few miles from here, and it gets kinda low going across the highway. One day not long ago I had a tractor on a trailer behind my truck and it rolled backward and picked up on the ball, so I eased over to the side of the highway and got out. The second my boots touched the soil I got a really good jolt. It is induction from the line into any nearby metal. Tires somewhat insulated the truck trailer and tractor and I completed the discharge path--it was eye opening. Had to jump on and off the trailer and when opening the door and getting in.
There's an inventor in Zimbabwee that has invented a car that runs on radio waves , a tv that works on radio waves and a genterator that runs off radio waves and produces enough power to run several house . However the West refuses to allow him to bring his inventions to the people . Someone ( The West most likely ) has tried to kill him but luckly he is still alive . These are just some of he inventions . Check him out ? His name is Maxwell Chikumbutso . Nice work what you are doing , keep it up and try to get more power .
@@GrantsPassTVRepair can you please tell me the link you bought from? And if I keep the tiny antennas 1 cm close to each other, would they be able to power each led at least to medium brightness . I want to keep them very close. To keep them in a bulk....like in a acrylic frame to be able to get like 2000 lumens per square meter to light a solar panel with 2.5ghz radio energy to leds. I am just trying to get the things near 10watts output from a 100watts solar panel.
This video earned a thumbs up. I've built four radios and all were fails. Its non-giggity disappointment especially after hours of soldering and winding and drilling. Now powering these LEDs is basically witchcraft as far as I am concerned. Who has this type of gray matter in the membrane? Not me, apparently. Kudos to this guy.
Your work really stands out, and I would like to replicate it...🤔 but at the same time I would like to know how tall and long is the antenna cable or if it is connected to a dipole? Science mentions that each meter of height represents a higher voltage, that is to say that with a lower antenna you will surely not get your result. When it suits you, please tell us about the height of the tower, type of cable (ohm) and if it is connected to a dipole or antenna... I presume that it is not energized indirectly through of some RF amplifier 🙄 It is also of interest the nomenclature or characteristics of the LEDS (voltage range to work, etc) that I will later look for and expand through Datasheet... Best regards and thank you very much for sharing!
My antenna is just a long stretch of wire which is about 200 feet long, and it's strung over the top of a tree which is about 75 feet high. I live about a mile from an AM radio station, and this is why I'm able to derive enough power from my antenna to light up an LED, I used insulated stranded wire for my antenna, The wire appears to be about 20 gage. Here is a link to the author who wrote the book on crystal radios, ruclips.net/video/G4YDsvv1DEk/видео.html If you would like to build a far more simple circuit, here is another link you may find of interest. ruclips.net/video/vHVmJ5lD9jc/видео.html
What amazes me is that one of the basic components, electricity itself, is so underexplored. We have anomalous thrust/weight loss in both symmetric and asymmetric capacitors when charged at high voltage (many experiments prove that it's more than 'ion wind' or drift.) and we have high-inductance coils that delay the rise-time of the opposing magnetic field in a standard generator topology - a Lenz-plus motor/generator. Just retard the timing, just like in automobiles, and use Lenz to pull in and push out, rather than go against the inducing magnet.
The "loss of power" in the transmitter coil is due to the current induced in the receiver generating its own opposing signal. So the loss of power is not instantaneous - the signal needs to get from the sender to the receiver and back before the sender feels that loss. It travels at the speed of light. If you move receiver and transmitter very far away from each other I guess the effect should still be similar but the reflected power would be surely below the natural electromagnetic noise floor so probably can't even be measured.
i wonder if its possibly to store the energy from ALL the frequencies put together, And use a circuit to boost the signal output for your crystal tweeter.
Hey man, nice set up! Maybe you’re done with the project after all these years but would love to have seen your antenna or at least know the approximate size you were working with?! I’ve been tinkering with small scale inductive energy harvesting this past year and have a few spare super capacitors I’d love to work into an RF harvesting set up tuned to BBC Radio 2 hehe. I can send you a publication I wrote it if it’s something you’d be interested in too :). All the best & hope you’re good!
My antenna is just a 150 foot wire hung over the top of a near by pine tree, but since our local radio station is only a mile from here, it has no problem illuminating my LEDs.
Empty space would be a space with no matter or energy, but the traveling electromagnetic wave carries energy once it was emitted. It will carry this energy forever until absorbed by something. That is conservation of energy
+movax20h I understand but It's hard to imagine how empty space can carry an oscillating electromagnetic wave. To me the fact that it does suggests "empty space" has some form of matter which acts more like a medium to carry the oscillating wave. Much like what you see when you drop a rock in a pond. Once the source of the wave is gone the ripples continue until they are dampened and undetectable. Here's video which proposes another theory. ruclips.net/video/5AUA7XS0TvA/видео.html
when i was a kid i asked my teacher if its possible to make free electricity from radio signals! i was 10 i didnt realize how smart i was till i got old! and dump if any of you have a smart kid (weird kid) dont make fun of him coz he is smarter than u!
Buenas saludos desde España una pregunta la tienes conectada a tierra o no está conectada a ningún sitio simplemente con las ondas de radiofrecuencia? Estaría bien que explicarás un poco más cómo se hace así la podemos hacer gracias 👍👍🇪🇸
Master, can you please state the materials and procedures? I am doing a capstone project using em waves, and i managed to make a system using antenna and rectenna circuit to get noticeable amount of voltage but very low current. This made my wattage not high, and I am searching for a way to rise it up. Can you please help? Or even state the procedures of yours as it seems like you got a very nice amount to power all these leds. Thanks in advance.
Or even if I used a coil with antenna and ground and used the mutual inductance to another coil to light up the led, will that get me better wattage? /**My focus is on the wattage not voltages**/ As my challenge is to get alternative way of energy.
@@GrantsPassTVRepair Very nice demonstration I do really appreciate the effort, but I am not asking about which frequency of antenna can power the led. I am asking about collecting or harvesting of the energy from the EM waves. Like the current video of crystal radio, you made a great system using the radio and controlled the led brightness, so this is a great match for what I seek. Thus, please, can you help me offer something like that or just a tip of how can I rise the power from such system?
I have one theory that will boost the current up - that is to connect power harvester units in parallel to double or triple the milliampere capacity, just like connecting batteries in parallel to increase Ampere capacity. In practice, series battery connection increases voltage while current remain constant, parallel connection increases current while voltage remains the same... One other possible way is to use a supercapacitor to store energy and use some sort of energy management system to release it as constant bursts of high current power. At least that's one route I could see in a Filipino made RF harvester known as "Electro-Plasma Generator" claiming to output Kilowatts power using RF power harvester in conjunction with a tesla coil. But I believe its more than that, we have to wait and find out next year until the invention shall be released in the Philippine market next year.
Something I did years ago, but the led hardly lit up even with the strongest of signals, I'm now using solar power directly through panels and an inventor, it helps when you have solid reliable light for many hours of the day
I got the circuit from this guys book, butt he didn't have a an LED on it like I added. ruclips.net/video/G4YDsvv1DEk/видео.html You also may find this video of interest. ruclips.net/video/vHVmJ5lD9jc/видео.html
That thing is actually quite old, the description still calls it the lamp socket or light cable. haven't heard people call it like that for manny years, last time I heard normal people use it was in the days that electricity in manny forms was called aether. or up to around 100 years ago for the last ones, while it actually was more like 200 years ago when electricity was just discovered as something you can actually use but was well known enough that there was actually decent amounts of research in it.
Wow yours is quite nice ! I think the station sending the signal probably uses the energy you receive even if you don't receive it when they send the signal.Not sure though . Cool stuff!
All you need is enough power from the crystal radio setup to produce the amount of input voltage and current to act like 2AA batteries then you can use a bug zapper circuit to create a high voltage outputting circuit that would feed into a bigger circuit that would create an even higher voltage - and so on - no?
Yes you could potentially raise the voltage, but that doesn't mean you getting more overall power. Here is a video where I explain this. ruclips.net/video/6Zxp8lSdn8M/видео.html
I interviewed the guy I got the diagram from in this video. ruclips.net/video/G4YDsvv1DEk/видео.html If you are just wanting to make a simple circuit to convert radio waves to electrical energy you might enjoy this link. ruclips.net/video/vHVmJ5lD9jc/видео.html
Effects on distant transmitter? None, unless you're within about a thousand feet of the AM tower, since that gives you direct "transformer" effects. But a high-power crystal radio does cast a large shadow. So, people who are "downstream" from your antenna will receive a less-powerful signal. Also, high-power crystal radios are creating a powerful RF field surrounding their coil and antenna. If you place any other AM radios nearby, they'll receive an immense signal when tuned to the same freq as your xtal radio. This is actually useful when using a standard radio and trying to tune in really weak signals from distant AM stations. Your xtal radio acts as an antenna, then it dumps a big wireless signal into the AM set, even when the AM set has no external antenna. So, tune a normal commercial AM radio to a very weak distant station. Then tune your xtal radio to the same station, and the AM radio should blast out loud. (You can buy a commercial device which does the same, called "Select-a-tenna" or also Terk antenna.
+wbeaty I've noticed my 2nd AM radio across the room is a little quieter when I tune my crystal radio just right, and I also thought it was taking energy away from the transmitters field, but someone suggested another possibility that made sense. The person figured my crystal radio is redirecting the RF field to my 2nd AM radio slightly out of phase with the incoming signal from the transmitter creating a null effect. I have two select antennas and I've seen how helpful they can be in some locations. You can produce the same null effect using the select antenna if you tune it just right.
So if you connect a transmitter anywhere near your crystal radio receiver with lowpower(LPT)and a blayback source(noise) you actually produce free energy
@@infinite8382 I believe that is what the "Ray Tuner" was designed to do. Back around the turn of the 20th century, there was a term describing the "rays" that made up the "ether" in our atmosphere, but, it escapes me at the moment.
@@Mr25thfret I don't have a scientific brain, it's all dutch to me, for if I did, I would invent such a device, but it seems T. H. Moray beat me to it ; ) The rays from space are somewhere on the higher end of the electromagnetic spectrum I believe, possibly gamma rays. It's also called, an oscillating cosmic ray pump, which syphons the cosmic rays of space and converts them to usable electricity. I've said too much, the FBeye will be knocking down my door momentarily ;p
This technology can be used on street lights. Its clean energy. No power cable and RF waves can be seen in most parts of the world. Sp can be installed on street lights.
If you would have a zillion of such devices in the room, would be there be any signal in the room and would all signal have the same strength ? What is the limit ?
I'm not sure, but it sounds like an interesting experiment. I noticed my other radio becomes quieter when I tune my crystal radio to the same station, but as one viewer explained it's most likely due to the the transmitter signal being re-radiated by my crystal radio slightly out of phase with the station transmitter. The phase difference would be from the small time difference between the re-radiated signal and the transmitters signal creating a null in the signal.
Some things in your house reflect radio waves decently, so there would probably be some bouncing around normally, and one device could soak up some of that. Also even in a direct line, if one is shadowing the other from the direction of the station's signal, then it might soak up some energy too.
Stewie Griffin the power is brought in using a 200ft antenna wire then resonated with coil and capacitor. A few tens or hundreds of milliwatts are available depending upon how far the antenna is from the transmitter and how powerful the transmitter is. RF energy diminishes by the square of the distance. it gets weak quickly with distance. Must live very close for this to work. Aloha.
You would not draw any power from the transmitter becouse what you have done with the led is a frequency amplification by grounding it. This is actually a amplification metod that could be used to draw power from the ground using 2 more coils a capacitor and a diod. See dr Stifflers work. Not sure he has the video up still otherwise you can ask him.
I wonder what would happen if you put a bridge rectifier on the output. My first instinct would be that the current might be a little bit higher but then the rectifier would create a bit of a resistance which might lower the current even more.
@@GrantsPassTVRepair Yeah the resistance of the rectifier might be a bit much. To be honest I havnt done much analogue electronics for years so im a little bit rusty. After a quick google i realised that full bridge rectifiers are mostly used for high power applications. If you buy them as components rather than making them using diodes the resistance is 240ohms. Ideally you want to keep the resistance and the load of whatever your powering as low as possible. Maybe try a diode in parallel with a capacitor.
I made years ago several scrubby crystal radio receivers. Maybe using a good antena and having a relatively close emitter you can make some LED glow. I can't make a single one with the receiver that last survived at home, in it's current status. I personally find it difficult, but maybe with proper calculations/measurements one can realize if there's such power available. What I can tell is a lambda/2 CB antenna and the mains ground deliver enough power within a crystal radio that one can plug in an 0.25W 8 Ohm speaker (transformer was used to adapt impedances) and perfectly hear the radio stations from 16km/30km away without the requirement of any headphone. I also was able to catch SW transmissions from China here in Spain during nights by properly tuning the LC circuit. Coil was based in ferrite core, not air coils. Was available power more than 20-30mW???? (I assume that necessary to light on a LED) Perhaps if the speaker was driven at audible volume... but I still think, with all due respect, this example is quite weird.
Hey man I'm not sure if you looked into Tesla theories or not but Tesla has a theory on collecting excess static electricity you should look into that is very similar to what you're doing here
Hello ! I wonder if it is possible with the suitable antenna, to detect with a diode the signal of the digital television. and turn on some LEDs. (1kw DTV station nearby) I wait your answer. Cheers
I'm sure that would work, but I'm not sure about the range you would get at those lower frequencies. Here is a video where I demonstrated something similar to what you're wondering about. ruclips.net/video/vHVmJ5lD9jc/видео.html
I can see that running on total background RF from galactic-outer space, and by Solar Wind interaction with the Earth's Electro-Magnetic Field...and perhaps the RF created by The Earth EM-Field itself.
Nope. Just radio waves. Sometimes I'm able to pick up a good charge in a thunder storm, or when there are charged clouds up above, but no fake claims are being made about any solar winds, or the earths magnetic fields..
LOL I did this back in the 80's while I was in the Navy I used a Mini-mag Flashlight and got it to light up. Yep this works because everything gives off RF energy
Back in the 1950's Popular Science magazine published schematics and plans to build a small transistor radio. The source of power to run the transistors came from a TV antenna connected where the battery would normally connect. The TV antenna had nothing to do with gathering a radio signal. That was accomplished by a normal radio antenna. The TV signals from extremely powerful TV broadcasters was used for amplification power only. Sorry, my memory of that project is kind of sketchy. It has been almost seventy years ago. By the way, with a good crystal set antenna and a good ground, you can touch the two wires to your tongue and feel the electricity....or strike the two wires together in a dark room and see a spark.

It might have taken a long time for that ripple to reach the entity that I was attempting to contact, and in turn it might take just as long for that entities ripple to be able to contact me?...... 🤔 I'm just hypothesizing here.

This is Tesla's greatest trick he played on the world. Radio transmitters were based on the Tesla coil. Now you have access to wireless energy provided by your local radio station you just need an antenna like this. Need more power add more antennas like batteries in a toy car
Hii sir, this question that suddenly jumped into my mind when i saw your video.. has got nothing to do with your video btw. just that i never got an acceptable under on this question. here it goes. Since Energy cannot be destroy or created.. only changes form. I am very curious why is it when my portable 2 stroke electric generator when powered on, when i fire up my load (for example a bulb), the bulb light up, but when i remove my bulb, where the energy goes ? (in this case is the ac electricity..) where on earth it goes ? since the loaded and unloaded condition of the generator is the same, motor is running at the same pace, and consuming the same amount of fuel.. where then the energy that generated goes when i unplug the bulb ? if you have the time to answer my silly question... pls do.. i would love to know something i am most ignorant of. thx andrew
Unless you have some kind of load on your generator, I would assume the energy doesn't go anywhere. Just like a battery without a load. Nevertheless if we had the ability to look into the invisible world, I'm sure it would be interesting to see what kinds of interactions are taking place between the magnetic field and the coil with and without a load.
I have an index on all my videos at www.tvrepairinfo.com/ , but you may enjoy my video called "2 dollar radiation detector you can build." It's not about crystal radios but a similar idea or harvesting power in the air to light up LEDs. Here is the link. ruclips.net/video/vHVmJ5lD9jc/видео.html
I think wireless electricity with radio is possible. If we make a radio box like a WiFi box the emits the stable radio frequency. The at devices amplify the voltage with transistors. You will need an initial charge so the device should have a battery, maybe recharge it from mains. Intell have made 1 billion transistors chips so just apply it to electricity. If they could make a motors chip maybe they could do what the car does to recharge its own battery when in use, amplify with transistors. Normally we just resist the high voltage frequency from mains. It's all just frequency. Wireless electrity would have advantages, longer battery, always on mobile phones, useful for space travel, less plugs. I think it could combine well with the electricity mains system except probably the technology is held back because electricity companies would make less money on bills. However its clearly a useful advantage if we can start using it with some of our mobile devices or appliances.
@@GrantsPassTVRepair I have, you need to sell the idea of the benefits to governments in order to prevent the technology suppression by electricity companies that want to sell electricity units through wired systems.

+Meiji Jap I'm suspect I could produce 50 volts or more with a longer antenna since the radio station transmitter is fairly close, but I don't think the crystal radio would produce enough current to be very useful.
+Meiji Jap The problem with raising the current is that it lowers the voltage. You might understand more if you watch this video I made on understanding current, voltage and wattage at this link. ruclips.net/video/6Zxp8lSdn8M/видео.html
A transistor amplifier simply uses the low power signal input to control the power going through another higher current/power pathway. A good analogy would be that the input signal controls the on/off valve on a kitchen faucet, where the water behaves like the flow of electric current.
Yes it can be made to produce more power, but even if you managed to scale it up to double or triple the power output it would still be extremely small unless you live right next to the radio station as I showed in this experiment. ruclips.net/video/yqljaKjKjd4/видео.html
I saw a cat whisker ... So you know I gotta question 😆 In your experience how does it perform compared to the diode ? Loudness wise. People say it's the same Maybe you didn't try it
I'm not sure which does a better job, but the nice thing about the diode is you don't need to adjust it to find the best spot. Here is a video you may find of interest by a guy who makes high end crystal radios. ruclips.net/video/G4YDsvv1DEk/видео.html
Unfortunately no. The power company sends us 60 cycle AC which is produced by generators. The power I'm getting off of my antenna is much higher in frequency, and produced by one of the radio stations near by.
Yes I'm familiar with RFID technology, or what some call "the mark of the beast chip", but the amount of energy it sends to the chip is extremely small over a short distance. Being able to send energy by way of wireless transmission is possible, but not substantial quantities, and the further you are from the transmitter, the weaker the power transfer will be. A transformer which is Two separate coils and a metal core sends wireless energy through a magnetic field called induction, but look how close the Two coils must be to each other in order to work properly. If you place a substantial distance between the coils very little power can be transferred to the other coil.
I don't think of my crystal radio with the LEDs as my invention. Crystal radios have existed long before I was born. Perhaps I was the first person to put an LED light on a crystal radio, but I wouldn't know. Regarding Maxwell and his invention. I wonder if what we hear about him is true.
hi ! as u harness alternating current u got it set up for receiving only one definite frequency ? am i right ? is it possible to harness electricity from all frequencies and add them up ? i am thinking about spiral coils and open circuit receiver the one tesla use. alternating current can be harness only by closed circuit receiver but how about impulse discharges that are all around us but impulses dont have difinite frequency. like in dc u got no frequency, in ac u got constant frequency but as i know impulse has no frequency but it creates oscilating current in the conductor it was diacharge to and the frequency is not constant. sorry for my english
I read that paper or cardboard coil forms will sap some of the energy you are receiving. I like to put a proposed coil form (less any wire or metal) in my microwave oven for 30 seconds and feel if it gets warm, if not it is good for a coil. I liked that old crystal set you found. I like spider coils also and Litz wire. I wish they would bring back shortwave. (no thanks to Obama).

The power level here is so low it doesn't have much potential. It requires a long antenna, and you need to live fairly close to a AM radio station for this to work.

This has been done for many decades. As a kid in the 1970s, I built a free power device from the book "104 Easy Projects for the Electronics Gadgeteer" but I changed the diode to a full wave bridge made of germanium diodes. Tuning to a strong station generated more than enough power to power a one transistor regenerative receiver that required .6 volts to function. The regen itself was based upon a 1960 article for a candle-powered radio by Professor Massoud Anwar, but I replaced the thermoionic battery with the free power device from the aforementioned book. So, this is nothing new, people just seem to have forgotten about it. Think about it - Maxwells equations, the work of Farraday, all pointed to an invisible force field generated by electrical energy - an electromagnetic wonder - all of those power lines are sending out these magnetic waves that when crossing a conductor generates a current - so this is and has been common knowledge for forever and a day. I don't mean to sound like a pompous jerk, so if I come off that way, I apologize - it isn't my intention - I just want to encourage folks to look into these things and have fun with it.
I tried this 20 yrs ago when I got alittle electric shock while I was connecting antenna of my first crystal radio which worked fine but I gave up and prefferred going to the beach 😉😉 keep it up my pal👍👍
I have so many questions and not enough answers. I stumbled across a video of a guy in Zimbabwe powering a TV via radio waves. Immediately I new this could be possible with the proper step up transformer and various other solid state devices.
That radio is cool, great job!
Unless someone lives right next to a radio station there is no way you will get enough power to operate a TV, People who make such scams are generally fakes. I made a video on this topic, and so have many others. ruclips.net/video/d0UjhHUrO74/видео.html
@@GrantsPassTVRepair But that man from Zimbabwe really did it, its not a scam.
With any radio you are always intercepting some energy from the transmitter. The transmitter is radiating 5-50 kW so your interception is quite minor, I am very impressed that you are lighting up all those LEDs and receiving perhaps 20 mW of power (assuming this is not a trick)
people check out Maxwell Chikumbutso and his inventions , A car that don't need batteries , a TV that don't need a power plug , these are just a few of his inventions .
I don't believe Maxwell's ideas are real. Please research this guy.
If you build 2 crystal radios and put a volt meter on one, you can see the load being applied to the other.
Back when I did a lot of experimenting with crystal radio's I found that making the antenna a big loop and tuning it got more power received.
Amazing that you can pull so much power out of thin air!
I think there is something different going on between the two coils presented towards the end of the video. In that case, there is some inductive coupling, whereas no inductive coupling is required to tune in a radio station.
I like the way you recharge! This and detecting magnet twiddling were two of my favorites.
+KludgeCraft
Yes I agree there is a difference in the way an RF wave is created and received, but as far as the electromagnetic wave itself goes I think it's characteristics are the same as a 60 hertz AC wave but faster.
I think all of us techs need a little recharge time in search of our sanity :-)
+Grants Pass TV Repair the two coils you pulled out of a former would normally be magnetic coupled. Near field inductive coupling requires both coils be tuned to the same resonant frequency, and then needs no ferrous core.
+KludgeCraft Yes... such great efficiency. Put 1000s of watts out and someone miles away can collect milla to microwatts of it. This primitive 'science' is explained by the Friis transmission equation which single-handedly debunks any type of 'free' energy harvesting via electromagnetic waves. While his millawatts are 'free' its at the expense of someone else burning craploads of power to put those signals into the air.
Yes I'm well aware that this kind of energy harvesting is inefficient, and that someone else is paying for this energy, Nevertheless I still find the science behind this means of energy collection thought provoking. My own experiments with electromagnetism and induction would suggest that "Friis transmission equation" is probably correct, There's no "free energy" here, but since electricity and magnetism are not completely understood, I like to keep an open mind that perhaps one day someone will discover a new principle along these lines that will shed some light on what we think we know. I believe the universe is full of mysteries that need to be further explored.
+Grants Pass TV Repair Truly comprehend maxwell's equations and there will be little that "is not understood". However, there plenty of people who would prefer to be mystified by all the cool vernacular & applications as opposed to working through the mathematical rigor of known science. The cellular network wouldn't stand a chance of existing without incredible understanding of electromagnetism. If you and or others try to derive it yourself in a shack & ignore the work of others for the past 100s of years you will not get very far. One wouldn't understand a breakthrough even if it was right under your nose without the relevant theory.
Loved the vid. FYI, RF travels at the speed of light. In 1 second if sent through Fibre optics would travel around the earth many times.
Thanks, Dave. I like to play around with electronix also. That's how I found the backdoor of the Trip 5 IC - to control the IC using resistance through the reset pin. Of course, one could find that by studying the datasheet, but I was a newbie then and found it by playing around with the IC on a breadboard.

Late Thomas henry morray was fascinated with crystal radios as a child, he went on to make a free energy machine in the 1930s that made over 50kilowatts! (but I suspect it had radioactive matter placed into its components)..great video, it reminds me of Tesla, Morray, and many others who went into this kinda research! great looking envy making coils, keep up the good work...amazing part is that crystal radios work like shorted circuit that has an air coil in between the Antennae and the Ground, a tiny capacitor parallel to the coils, and a diode taps on one end of the coil to the high resistance earphone! its like listening in on the dc pulses of a short circuited coil!! my fascination with bedini coils started this fever 3 yrs ago!

I love crystal radios, so RUclips looked into the internet time machine and sent me here. &5 years old now and building them again.
why did you hook the positive end of the LED before the diode and not after it? would it make a difference?
I think he said in the video, but regardless, it should work in either direction, because crystal radios flip flop their phases as the coil and capacitor oscillate, so both directions should work. One way might be brighter than the other way slightly, though, if the earpiece is soaking up some of the energy while in the same direction? I have no idea if that would be a meaningful amount of influence at all, though.
I should have shown that I have a switch which allows me to turn on the LEDs or the headphones. If I have them both on like my diagram shows the LEDs aren't as bright.
A smart survivor, Leben leben überleben Lilly.
Sorry I didn't notice your question sooner Lilly.. The LEDs could have been placed after the diode, but had I done so there would be slightly less energy to my lights because of the voltage drop that occurs across a diode. The voltage drop is less than a volt which isn't much, but I wanted as much energy as possible going to my lights.

Magnetic coupling and electromagnetic resonance are very different. Unlike a transformer, your radio is a grounded tunable RC tank circuit with a rectified output. There is likely a radio transmission station within a few km of your antenna.
Your correct. We have Two AM radio stations about a mile away, One of them puts out 10,000 watts in the day, and 48 watts at night. I can tell by the intensity of the light when they lower their power.
Perhaps you might charge some form of accumulators to get bursts of usable Wh.
@@GrantsPassTVRepair So technically it's not free energy. The radio station pays for the output power.
@@erikk77 Yes this is correct. the power is generated by the radio station as I mentioned in this video.
I'm also able to pick up quite a charge on my antenna when thunder clouds are gathering, but that has nothing to do with the energy I'm getting from our local AM broadcast stations.
I had a Radionic set many years ago and there was a crystal radio circuit that used the carrier wave to power a one transistor amplifier that made the radio louder in the earphone!
Sounds like it would make a nice edition, although mine is now loud enough to be annoying.
Doesnt seem very cost-effective, but its cool. If they can harvest cosmic radiation in future, it can help to power interstellar probes like Voyager for centuries. Still, nuclear generators are probably the primary choice then. Unless it becomes a very handy and improved technology.
Very cool Rf for power. There is a transmission line a few miles from here, and it gets kinda low going across the highway. One day not long ago I had a tractor on a trailer behind my truck and it rolled backward and picked up on the ball, so I eased over to the side of the highway and got out.
The second my boots touched the soil I got a really good jolt. It is induction from the line into any nearby metal. Tires somewhat insulated the truck trailer and tractor and I completed the discharge path--it was eye opening. Had to jump on and off the trailer and when opening the door and getting in.

Your work really stands out, and I would like to replicate it...🤔 but at the same time I would like to know how tall and long is the antenna cable or if it is connected to a dipole?

When it suits you, please tell us about the height of the tower, type of cable (ohm) and if it is connected to a dipole or antenna...

My antenna is just a long stretch of wire which is about 200 feet long, and it's strung over the top of a tree which is about 75 feet high.

What amazes me is that one of the basic components, electricity itself, is so underexplored. We have anomalous thrust/weight loss in both symmetric and asymmetric capacitors when charged at high voltage (many experiments prove that it's more than 'ion wind' or drift.) and we have high-inductance coils that delay the rise-time of the opposing magnetic field in a standard generator topology - a Lenz-plus motor/generator. Just retard the timing, just like in automobiles, and use Lenz to pull in and push out, rather than go against the inducing magnet.
The "loss of power" in the transmitter coil is due to the current induced in the receiver generating its own opposing signal. So the loss of power is not instantaneous - the signal needs to get from the sender to the receiver and back before the sender feels that loss. It travels at the speed of light. If you move receiver and transmitter very far away from each other I guess the effect should still be similar but the reflected power would be surely below the natural electromagnetic noise floor so probably can't even be measured.
Thanks, nice antique too.
you can use the radio transmission turn it back into electric from a non powered radio like ones that don't take batteries and work .

Empty space would be a space with no matter or energy, but the traveling electromagnetic wave carries energy once it was emitted. It will carry this energy forever until absorbed by something. That is conservation of energy
+movax20h I understand but It's hard to imagine how empty space can carry an oscillating electromagnetic wave. To me the fact that it does suggests "empty space" has some form of matter which acts more like a medium to carry the oscillating wave. Much like what you see when you drop a rock in a pond. Once the source of the wave is gone the ripples continue until they are dampened and undetectable. Here's video which proposes another theory. ruclips.net/video/5AUA7XS0TvA/видео.html

@@GrantsPassTVRepair Sir?
I have one theory that will boost the current up - that is to connect power harvester units in parallel to double or triple the milliampere capacity, just like connecting batteries in parallel to increase Ampere capacity. In practice, series battery connection increases voltage while current remain constant, parallel connection increases current while voltage remains the same... One other possible way is to use a supercapacitor to store energy and use some sort of energy management system to release it as constant bursts of high current power. At least that's one route I could see in a Filipino made RF harvester known as "Electro-Plasma Generator" claiming to output Kilowatts power using RF power harvester in conjunction with a tesla coil. But I believe its more than that, we have to wait and find out next year until the invention shall be released in the Philippine market next year.
Something I did years ago, but the led hardly lit up even with the strongest of signals, I'm now using solar power directly through panels and an inventor, it helps when you have solid reliable light for many hours of the day

That thing is actually quite old, the description still calls it the lamp socket or light cable. haven't heard people call it like that for manny years, last time I heard normal people use it was in the days that electricity in manny forms was called aether. or up to around 100 years ago for the last ones, while it actually was more like 200 years ago when electricity was just discovered as something you can actually use but was well known enough that there was actually decent amounts of research in it.
It says lamp cord. This isn't an archaic term, you can find spools of this stuff today labeled as such in any hardware store.
Wow yours is quite nice ! I think the station sending the signal probably uses the energy you receive even if you don't receive it when they send the signal.Not sure though . Cool stuff!
All you need is enough power from the crystal radio setup to produce the amount of input voltage and current to act like 2AA batteries then you can use a bug zapper circuit to create a high voltage outputting circuit that would feed into a bigger circuit that would create an even higher voltage - and so on - no?

Galena: crystalized lead (lead sulfide). A natural semiconductor. Quite similar to germanium (germanium sulfide).
Effects on distant transmitter? None, unless you're within about a thousand feet of the AM tower, since that gives you direct "transformer" effects.
But a high-power crystal radio does cast a large shadow. So, people who are "downstream" from your antenna will receive a less-powerful signal.
Also, high-power crystal radios are creating a powerful RF field surrounding their coil and antenna. If you place any other AM radios nearby, they'll receive an immense signal when tuned to the same freq as your xtal radio. This is actually useful when using a standard radio and trying to tune in really weak signals from distant AM stations. Your xtal radio acts as an antenna, then it dumps a big wireless signal into the AM set, even when the AM set has no external antenna.
So, tune a normal commercial AM radio to a very weak distant station. Then tune your xtal radio to the same station, and the AM radio should blast out loud. (You can buy a commercial device which does the same, called "Select-a-tenna" or also Terk antenna.
+wbeaty I've noticed my 2nd AM radio across the room is a little quieter when I tune my crystal radio just right, and I also thought it was taking energy away from the transmitters field, but someone suggested another possibility that made sense. The person figured my crystal radio is redirecting the RF field to my 2nd AM radio slightly out of phase with the incoming signal from the transmitter creating a null effect.
I have two select antennas and I've seen how helpful they can be in some locations. You can produce the same null effect using the select antenna if you tune it just right.
So if you connect a transmitter anywhere near your crystal radio receiver with lowpower(LPT)and a blayback source(noise) you actually produce free energy
I don't understand your question.
Some thirteen year old kid made this and everyone was getting all hard and claimed he was a prodigy

This technology can be used on street lights. Its clean energy. No power cable and RF waves can be seen in most parts of the world. Sp can be installed on street lights.
If you would have a zillion of such devices in the room, would be there be any signal in the room and would all signal have the same strength ?
What is the limit ?
I'm not sure, but it sounds like an interesting experiment. I noticed my other radio becomes quieter when I tune my crystal radio to the same station, but as one viewer explained it's most likely due to the the transmitter signal being re-radiated by my crystal radio slightly out of phase with the station transmitter. The phase difference would be from the small time difference between the re-radiated signal and the transmitters signal creating a null in the signal.
Some things in your house reflect radio waves decently, so there would probably be some bouncing around normally, and one device could soak up some of that. Also even in a direct line, if one is shadowing the other from the direction of the station's signal, then it might soak up some energy too.
Stewie Griffin the power is brought in using a 200ft antenna wire then resonated with coil and capacitor. A few tens or hundreds of milliwatts are available depending upon how far the antenna is from the transmitter and how powerful the transmitter is. RF energy diminishes by the square of the distance. it gets weak quickly with distance. Must live very close for this to work. Aloha.
Its already been manufacture in smal scale in Philippines
You would not draw any power from the transmitter becouse what you have done with the led is a frequency amplification by grounding it. This is actually a amplification metod that could be used to draw power from the ground using 2 more coils a capacitor and a diod. See dr Stifflers work. Not sure he has the video up still otherwise you can ask him.
I wonder what would happen if you put a bridge rectifier on the output.
My first instinct would be that the current might be a little bit higher but then the rectifier would create a bit of a resistance which might lower the current even more.
I tried something like what you mentioned but I don't remember getting any additional power this way.
@@GrantsPassTVRepair Yeah the resistance of the rectifier might be a bit much. To be honest I havnt done much analogue electronics for years so im a little bit rusty.
After a quick google i realised that full bridge rectifiers are mostly used for high power applications. If you buy them as components rather than making them using diodes the resistance is 240ohms. Ideally you want to keep the resistance and the load of whatever your powering as low as possible.
Maybe try a diode in parallel with a capacitor.
You will always get less overall current but its better if its all flowing in the same direction.
I made years ago several scrubby crystal radio receivers. Maybe using a good antena and having a relatively close emitter you can make some LED glow. I can't make a single one with the receiver that last survived at home, in it's current status. I personally find it difficult, but maybe with proper calculations/measurements one can realize if there's such power available. What I can tell is a lambda/2 CB antenna and the mains ground deliver enough power within a crystal radio that one can plug in an 0.25W 8 Ohm speaker (transformer was used to adapt impedances) and perfectly hear the radio stations from 16km/30km away without the requirement of any headphone. I also was able to catch SW transmissions from China here in Spain during nights by properly tuning the LC circuit. Coil was based in ferrite core, not air coils. Was available power more than 20-30mW???? (I assume that necessary to light on a LED) Perhaps if the speaker was driven at audible volume... but I still think, with all due respect, this example is quite weird.
How does Maxwell chikumbutso transfer radio frequencies In to so much power ? Thanks
Hey man I'm not sure if you looked into Tesla theories or not but Tesla has a theory on collecting excess static electricity you should look into that is very similar to what you're doing here
I've done so in a thunder storm but it wasn't much power. ruclips.net/video/_DHBjeobg4U/видео.html
Can u show on a video you attaching the LEDs to ur radio and ground attatchment
Here's and even simpler way to light up an LED with radio frequency energy.
I want that book
Hello ! I wonder if it is possible with the suitable antenna, to detect with a diode the signal of the digital television. and turn on some LEDs. (1kw DTV station nearby) I wait your answer. Cheers
I'm sure that would work, but I'm not sure about the range you would get at those lower frequencies. Here is a video where I demonstrated something similar to what you're wondering about. ruclips.net/video/vHVmJ5lD9jc/видео.html
@@GrantsPassTVRepair According to it, dtv works in the order of 400-600 mhz, I don't know what type of LC tank should use for that frequency.
Plz show putting the LEDs on it. I'm too stupid to figure out how
Hello great work. Im interested to learn how rf energy works. Can i get more information about the book? Thank you! God bless.
Here is a link to a website which sells Jim's book. www.hopeandallen.com/rtwff.htm
I can see that running on total background RF from galactic-outer space, and by Solar Wind interaction with the Earth's Electro-Magnetic Field...and perhaps the RF created by The Earth EM-Field itself.
Nope. Just radio waves. Sometimes I'm able to pick up a good charge in a thunder storm, or when there are charged clouds up above, but no fake claims are being made about any solar winds, or the earths magnetic fields..
Schematic on how to replicate the led wiring?
LOL I did this back in the 80's while I was in the Navy I used a Mini-mag Flashlight and got it to light up. Yep this works because everything gives off RF energy
How
There is a car that converts radio frequencies into energy ( Sangulani Maxwell Chikumbutso inventor name ) I wonder if they worked the same way...
Try magnetic neutralization video, with that 26 pounds coil and permanent magnets you can yield strong backspike
Back in the 1950's Popular Science magazine published schematics and plans to build a small transistor radio. The source of power to run the transistors came from a TV antenna connected where the battery would normally connect. The TV antenna had nothing to do with gathering a radio signal. That was accomplished by a normal radio antenna. The TV signals from extremely powerful TV broadcasters was used for amplification power only. Sorry, my memory of that project is kind of sketchy. It has been almost seventy years ago. By the way, with a good crystal set antenna and a good ground, you can touch the two wires to your tongue and feel the electricity....or strike the two wires together in a dark room and see a spark.
If you use a joule thief circuit in that you can light hundreds of leds with it.
That sounds like a fun project.
do it plz
its just a voltage booster ... current goes down
I would like to see him add some mercury in the equation. I hear it picks up stuff very nicely.
🕯️ 3:33 🕯️~ It's also makes me think of energy waves how you said a ripple and you are correct I mean that's something we've all thought about before but never exactly how you just said it. Ty. Reminds me of my spiritual magick/occult practices as a teen and I'm 42 now. It might have taken a long time for that ripple to reach the entity that I was attempting to contact, and in turn it might take just as long for that entities ripple to be able to contact me?...... 🤔 I'm just hypothesizing here. But there's a lot of things happening now, things that I longed for as a teen and they were sci-fi futuristic s*** that I wanted to live, but when you're a teen you got a different mindset than when you're 42 and if a person wishes for all that s*** I mean hard really thinks about it even does rituals to make it happen, that with this ripple thing you're saying and sending out radio waves cuz our thoughts are radio waves, and yeah when one is older especially by twenty two thirty or forty years you are a different
So rather than LEDs, could you run few of these radios into some graphene capacitors to charge them? Great video, brother!
Im interested in a book
I want one of your books and help with this

can lower voltage to increase the current
@@youtuberesearch7017 So lets see a video where it can run a small motor. :-)
If someone was going to start learning about radios where should I start?
If you don't have a firm grasp on basic electronics I would start with mastering that, and by doing lots of hands on experiments and building projects. Forest Mims produced a good book on basic electronics for beginners called getting started in electronics.
Great video and love the crystal radio. Curios to know what style of antenna you are using? Thanks again for sharing and taking the time.
+Diadon Acs (Conscious Energies) I would guess my antenna to be over 200 feet long. I used a kite to hang it over
the top of my neighbors pine tree. :-)
Wow, then my bow and antenna arrow up my pine tree wouldn't be in vane. That's some good information for sure. I wounder if one should implement some type of lightning suppression? Anyway's this is great stuff and is certainly on my experiment list. Enjoy the present moments. :)
I don't know about needing a lightning suppressor, but I disconnect the antenna from my radio any time a lightning storm comes close. I have a friend in town who had his antenna struck by lightning Twice. Check this out. ruclips.net/video/wZtWWO8cfH0/видео.html
You don't want to use the earth's natural energy ;) Good link, thanks for the share.
This is Tesla's greatest trick he played on the world. Radio transmitters were based on the Tesla coil. Now you have access to wireless energy provided by your local radio station you just need an antenna like this. Need more power add more antennas like batteries in a toy car
Can you please share the links to the other videos that talk about this device please?
Here is a simple one. ruclips.net/video/vHVmJ5lD9jc/видео.html
So the power is coming from the radio station?
Correct.
First Surname , yes
Nice video thank you. How many Wat or Volt the LED/SMD should be in order to be used for this experiment?
Hii sir,
this question that suddenly jumped into my mind when i saw your video.. has got nothing to do with your video btw.
just that i never got an acceptable under on this question. here it goes.
Since Energy cannot be destroy or created.. only changes form.
I am very curious why is it when my portable 2 stroke electric generator when powered on, when i fire up my load (for example a bulb), the bulb light up, but when i remove my bulb, where the energy goes ? (in this case is the ac electricity..) where on earth it goes ? since the loaded and unloaded condition of the generator is the same, motor is running at the same pace, and consuming the same amount of fuel.. where then the energy that generated goes when i unplug the bulb ?
if you have the time to answer my silly question... pls do.. i would love to know something i am most ignorant of.
thx
andrew
Unless you have some kind of load on your generator, I would assume the energy doesn't go anywhere. Just like a battery without a load. Nevertheless if we had the ability to look into the invisible world, I'm sure it would be interesting to see what kinds of interactions are taking place between the magnetic field and the coil with and without a load.
Hi Sir do you have a video tutorial fo your crystal radio especially the upgrades you've done?
I have an index on all my videos at www.tvrepairinfo.com/ , but you may enjoy my video called "2 dollar radiation detector you can build." It's not about crystal radios but a similar idea or harvesting power in the air to light up LEDs. Here is the link. ruclips.net/video/vHVmJ5lD9jc/видео.html
Thank you Sir
I think wireless electricity with radio is possible. If we make a radio box like a WiFi box the emits the stable radio frequency. The at devices amplify the voltage with transistors. You will need an initial charge so the device should have a battery, maybe recharge it from mains. Intell have made 1 billion transistors chips so just apply it to electricity. If they could make a motors chip maybe they could do what the car does to recharge its own battery when in use, amplify with transistors. Normally we just resist the high voltage frequency from mains. It's all just frequency. Wireless electrity would have advantages, longer battery, always on mobile phones, useful for space travel, less plugs. I think it could combine well with the electricity mains system except probably the technology is held back because electricity companies would make less money on bills. However its clearly a useful advantage if we can start using it with some of our mobile devices or appliances.
If you figure it out let me know.
@@GrantsPassTVRepair I have, you need to sell the idea of the benefits to governments in order to prevent the technology suppression by electricity companies that want to sell electricity units through wired systems. My solution is Simply create a wireless radio box rental system so I would pay $100 a month to have the. wireless radio box that. works with wireless electricity devices.

Wouldn't a Bridge Rectifier work better than two diodes? I'm a Journeyman Electrician but don't know alot about Crystal diode radios.
I tried using a bridge rectifier as you described, but it did:t work all that well. The advantage of the crystal radio is that it's a tuned circuit, where as the bridge rectifier is not. I'd like to try it again using fast switching diodes and see if that helps.
@@GrantsPassTVRepair I'm actually working on building a crazy contraption, involving a grounding rod, radio antenna and a bridge rectifier to send a frequency through a Water Electrolysis cell. And I'm wondering if you could help me to get the maximum power output possible? I would really like to have 60 watts but it will still react well at as low as 4watts. I have a lot of videos and pictures that describe what I'm doing well if your Interested.
I 'm not sure I would know how to help you with such a project. Did you ever see my video on free energy vs the laws of physics? ruclips.net/video/d0UjhHUrO74/видео.html
If you can make many of these and combine their power i wonder if it can make 50 volt?
+Meiji Jap I'm suspect I could produce 50 volts or more with a longer antenna since the radio station transmitter is fairly close, but I don't think the crystal radio would produce enough current to be very useful.
+Grants Pass TV Repair maybe some electrical component like transistor or toroid can amplify current?
+Meiji Jap The problem with raising the current is that it lowers the voltage. You might understand more if you watch this video I made on understanding current, voltage and wattage at this link. ruclips.net/video/6Zxp8lSdn8M/видео.html
A transistor amplifier simply uses the low power signal input to control the power going through another higher current/power pathway. A good analogy would be that the input signal controls the on/off valve on a kitchen faucet, where the water behaves like the flow of electric current.
Things to try.. 1) Add another Antenna... 2) Trickle charge car batteries with it, so you can run more powerful projects... better lighting perhaps.
Even with a couple antennas it would probably take a year to get a full charge on a car battery with such a small output.
Some AA's or AAA's ?
Thanks for the reply.
I suppose it might charge some small batteries.
Sir can I have the schematics of that tech? I want to study it and I want to improve it.
Can this be scaled up to bigger power outputs?
Yes it can be made to produce more power, but even if you managed to scale it up to double or triple the power output it would still be extremely small unless you live right next to the radio station as I showed in this experiment. ruclips.net/video/yqljaKjKjd4/видео.html
I saw a cat whisker ...
So you know I gotta question
😆
In your experience how does it perform compared to the diode ? Loudness wise. People say it's the same
Maybe you didn't try it
I'm not sure which does a better job, but the nice thing about the diode is you don't need to adjust it to find the best spot. Here is a video you may find of interest by a guy who makes high end crystal radios. ruclips.net/video/G4YDsvv1DEk/видео.html
@@GrantsPassTVRepair thanks reply
!
I have seen that already
Thanks for visiting and showing his radios
Absolut mein Ding! 📡 Radiowellen in Strom umwandeln !👍 Und Radiowellen kommen nicht nur vom uns Menschen sondern auch aus dem All!!!☀️
Do you think that power lines could be hooked up to antennas right now and the energy companies are charging us for energy they get for free?
Unfortunately no. The power company sends us 60 cycle AC which is produced by generators. The power I'm getting off of my antenna is much higher in frequency, and produced by one of the radio stations near by.
Do you think antennas could produce more power than generators?
No. Not even close. The amount of power I'm picking up from the radio station transmitters is extremely small.
have you looked into the RFID technology which requires no wires at all, but sends electromagnetic waves from antenna to antenna as energy?
Yes I'm familiar with RFID technology, or what some call "the mark of the beast chip", but the amount of energy it sends to the chip is extremely small over a short distance. Being able to send energy by way of wireless transmission is possible, but not substantial quantities, and the further you are from the transmitter, the weaker the power transfer will be. A transformer which is Two separate coils and a metal core sends wireless energy through a magnetic field called induction, but look how close the Two coils must be to each other in order to work properly. If you place a substantial distance between the coils very little power can be transferred to the other coil.
With this much power, I've heard it is possible to get FM out of a crystal radio. Have you done any videos on that?
I've never tried to build an FM crystal radio but it sounds like it should be possible.
Yes, but you will need to include a heterodyne circuit that converts the FM signal into an AM signal.
You and maxwell from Zimbabwe who invented this first?
I don't think of my crystal radio with the LEDs as my invention. Crystal radios have existed long before I was born. Perhaps I was the first person to put an LED light on a crystal radio, but I wouldn't know. Regarding Maxwell and his invention. I wonder if what we hear about him is true.
Can you make a step by step please 🙏
hi ! as u harness alternating current u got it set up for receiving only one definite frequency ? am i right ? is it possible to harness electricity from all frequencies and add them up ? i am thinking about spiral coils and open circuit receiver the one tesla use. alternating current can be harness only by closed circuit receiver but how about impulse discharges that are all around us but impulses dont have difinite frequency. like in dc u got no frequency, in ac u got constant frequency but as i know impulse has no frequency but it creates oscilating current in the conductor it was diacharge to and the frequency is not constant. sorry for my english
very impressive... where could I get that book friend?
Amazone has Two of his books www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=node%3D154606011&field-keywords=radios+that+work+for+free
I read that paper or cardboard coil forms will sap some of the energy you are receiving. I like to put a proposed coil form (less any wire or metal) in my microwave oven for 30 seconds and feel if it gets warm, if not it is good for a coil. I liked that old crystal set you found. I like spider coils also and Litz wire. I wish they would bring back shortwave. (no thanks to Obama).
I guess that explains why some of the coils I've seen don't have cores
u said you have a book that's tells u about am christel radios I might be interested in that book u have in you're video iam not asking for it or saying I want it. I might be interested in it
I see this is 6years ago, have u figured out how to power a TV with it?
The energy from this system is so small there is no way to operate a television from such a small amount of power.
