'Energy-sucking' Radio Antennas

[john_g]

Hi

I was trying to get some more understanding about capacitors and came across the link below. I must admit I have not got my head around it all, however it does show how input power to an antenna can be increased by pulsing power into the antenna. Makes me think about getting radient energy, and Moray Hendershot etc starting systems by pulsing. One of the papers shows a capacitor within a capacitor increasing power output -makes me think of the swiss machine.

Patent #3714659 shows a subminiature antenna which uses a capacitance multiplier. The antenna is basically two one foot square sheets of metal, one foot apart, with a wire runing from the middle of the top plate through a hole in the middle of the bottom plate. The antenna works the best when it's a few feet off the ground, and operates in the low kilohertz frequencies, with a high gain.

I don't know if this relates to using a small antenna's near field as an actual antenna itself, having a larger size than the physical antenna. The patent doesn't say anything about pulsing the assembly, but it's something which could be tried.

hope you can use this john

messing around with Hendershot replication

Hendershot was mentioned in this thread. Take a look at the "Coilpacitor" thread if interested in Hendershot.

Interesting, using the antenna that way. Interference patterns of magnetic forces... You don't suppose any energy is transferred through solition waves due to resonance? That was the first thing that struck me when I was reading the paper. Same principle of wireless power transfer between 2 identical resonant Tesla coil.... but these are antennas and not coils.
Party on.
