Tesla's Radiant Energy Antenna

[telemachus]

Hi everyone:
I've been working on building a Tesla Radiant Energy Antenna and I am using a schematic from a youtube video. See this video at the 2 minute mark for the diagram
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Un2RD2fTVZw It also has some interesting info.

The same author of the youtube video also posted this video which shows voltage measurements using the same circuit:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-_o5d0R7dg

He's getting about 1.3 volts by the end of the video and it's slowly increasing in about 5 millivolt increments so it seems that i could power a small load but it takes time for it to slowly increase the voltage.

I'm trying to figure out how to add a load of LED lights to test how this circuit runs a load. I don't have a lot of electronics experience so I would appreciate your advice about what kind of LED's and how many to add to test a load. Let me know if you've also tried to build this or your thoughts about the usefulness of this type of circuit.

There is another thread on this device. But first go look up Tesla's patent and keep in mind that Tesla was always working on industrial scale power systems.

And look at Patrick J. Kelly's book it can be downloaded from the internet. That's the PJK book they talk about in the other thread. Before you spend any money on this you should definitely read that entire thread.

A few words of warning:

If you are going to mount your elevated, insulated plate outside make sure that any points, i.e. corners, are well insulated. Otherwise, what you are building is Franklin lightning rod. Any points on the elevated plate that is connected to ground will ionize the air around the point and it will give lightning an easier path to ground and therefore actually attract lightning. So DON'T use a metal roof.

For the same reason do not connect the circuit to the ground rod for your house. You could toast appliances in your house if you get a lightning strike or even a nearby lightning strike. This is an experimental system so treat it as such - do not connect it to your house wiring.

Along the same lines, generally speaking, the bigger the ground connection the better results you will get and deeper the ground connection the better results you will get.

I spent some time with this circuit and don't really see it as useful other than to maybe charge cell phone batteries which can much more easily be accomplished with a photovoltaic panel you can buy off the shelf. The only interesting thing about it is that it does provide power at night but it is miniscule both day and night.

For it to scale to useable power you would need acres and acres of elevated, insulated metal plate and a corresponding ground system.

Thanks for the tips thx1138. Yes definitely a lot of ionization going on in this type of set-up. The Kapadnaze/Kapagen devices also seem to make use of the same type of grounding.
