    Yes, this has been my conclusion as well. With this kind of array, we should be able to step up any kind of capacitor output, and then step it down for useable charge to do work. If we follow Don Smith's logic, then each step-up of charge through the capacitors along the CW array allows for an additional entry of charge from the ambient medium.

    Another idea is to try the circuit to get energy from the ambient and replace the ambient input (an antenna connected to the air), with the input from the car's ignition coil output.

    In this schematic it's possible to replace the antenna with the output of a car's ignition coil. Of course, you will need to use the correct capacitors and the correct diodes, not the models you can read in the schematic.

      There is also another circuit where you can light an incandescent light bulb using a single wire, a modified full wave bridge rectifier and a capacitor.

        I have built this simple circuit, and it indeed does work. Yes, I suppose the ignition coil setup would provide enough HV pressure on one side of a cap to draw in a useable amount of ambient energy on its opposing side for step down to do work, though I have not tried this.

        Am I correct in understanding that the basic DS principles could be summed up as follows?

        HV >> Capacitor >> Inductor >> Stepdown Coil >> Output

          Tried the setup of the picture and it works too.

            I tried that and it's possible to charge the AV plug capacitor in the same way as connecting physically to the output of the car's ignition coil. I used a receiving plate to charge the AV plug cap. It works.

              Can you draw a simple picture? I don't fully understand the idea.

                I have different concepts to test, but I have learnt that the important thing is to test and post results. I want to stop posting only ideas.

                I have tested the concepts that I have materials. There are other ones that I don't have the materials, so I cannot test them at the moment.
                i understand this, i am also posting regarding the practical results i had so maybe someone will expand the idea.

                  Sorry -- I just saw your post and it's late. I just started a new job with longer hours. Will try to draw something in the next few days.
