    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

    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

      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.

    • @vink6163
      @vink6163 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

    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

      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.

    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.

    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.

    • @vink6163
      @vink6163 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

    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.

      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.
