Originally posted by tswift View PostYes, I now have enough caps and diodes on hand to make a 5-stage multiplier. Unfortunately the multiplier has to be driven with AC and the flyback that came with this ZVS driver is DC, it has an internal multiplier and a final cap. So it's great to use by itself but you can't put an external multiplier on it. I haven't yet tried stacking two batteries and driving it at 24 volts, supposedly these cheap units are rated up to 30 volts input. This will increase the input power requirements quite a bit I feel sure, so not really a great solution. My PVM12 still runs but I think there are issues with it. Depending on what I try to do with it, sometimes I can hear hissing or popping like an HV leak coming from it but I can't see anything even in the dark with the cover off. I'm afraid there is an insulation breakdown somewhere inside the HV transformer. As long as the output voltage stays moderate it works but if the voltage swing gets too high it arcs over internally. I will try driving the multiplier with it and see how far I get. I noticed on the amazing1.com website that replacement transformers are available but of course it's half the price of the whole PVM12 itself. I also had the thought of obtaining a replacement flyback and instead of using it to fix the PVM12, driving it with the ZVS. This will drive it at the resonant frequency of the secondary and ensure maximum voltage rise but the ZVS driver is more powerful and might be too much for the transformer, I don't want to ruin a $50 transformer finding out the hard way.

The main difference between the ground/ground and ground/air is the conversion process. Ground/air requires us to deal with a HV conversion to magnetic then to current, the ground/ground is pure current with little voltage and requires a current to magnetic which leads to voltage.
The ground/ground has little to no problems in storms with huge current spikes where the ground/air has a significant risk with extreme voltage spikes. I believe the energy density is about the same either way as it all comes from the same place. The major challenge is in the conversion process, either way.... you deal with super high voltages or massive currents.
Below is an early project I built some 10 years back that functions on grounds only. It will run 24/7 with variations in output - evenings seem most energetic where early mornings are less active which increases to its peak during the day. I believe it's all related to the storm activity around the globe. It uses a ULF ferrite rod and runs in the range of 400hz, I've built several using basic AM frequencies that work well also - all the frequencies that exist, man made and natural, are on the ground lines.
When setting up your grounds they should be aligned to magnetic North. The North rod(s) must be deeper than the South to match the magnetic dip and no less than 30ft apart. You can use the Hartman and Curry grid as a guidline...
There are a number of early ground antenna patents that are quite interesting, as well, some of the early earth battery patents can give you some interesting details for harvesting energy from the ground.
Bruce and I discussed alot of this stuff a few years back, we differed only slightly in most thoughts but I had my head stuck in the ground and he was looking toward the sky.... all fun stuff either way.
It all depends where you are at the time you need the energy. If you are flying around in an aircraft a two antenna system is required. If you are in your home a two ground system is more practical. The circuits the replicators on this forum are building are a composite of antenna and ground systems.
I appreciate you sharing your years of experience here on this forum. Sky and ground energy are mirror images of each other. They are manifestations of the same energy source.

Im thinking to use a dc boost converter to step up the voltage on the zvs from a single 12v batt.Attached Files

OK, I tried the ZVS with two batteries on the workbench. No antenna or ground connections so essentially no load other than a small amount of leakage current. Sure enough, everything is roughly doubled: dipole voltage now 26KV, input current now 800 mA at 24V nominal (probably about 25V or 26V true). The whole machine crackles with static like a charged CRT, and the PPV's fire every couple of seconds due to just the small leakage current from uninsulated parts. It's possible this might be enough to be useful, I will test it with the antenna and ground after dark.Attached Files

"In a capacitor one plate must equal the other or else you've got discharges in between". I remember don saying that.
The I remember PDF by bruce states the higher the voltage the better.
Have you guys tried the 400kv high voltage module?
they are really cheap too.

It might break easily though.

Originally posted by tswift View PostWell, Bruce can correct me if I'm wrong but what we are actually looking for is ion current not just surface area. The radius of curvature of the surface matters for concentrating the dielectric field lines. It's the same reason why the PPV has a sharp point. So we need a surface with a small radius of curvature, which you could do with sharp points of some kind as one possible method. Hmm, you know this sounds a great deal like reading the Plauson patent! Read it again and look at the various surface treatments applied to the elevated conducting surfaces to increase ionization. In this case the really simple solution is just to use the tiniest wire possible, and lots of it.
I got 0.10mm wire about 7km of it. But it will be a real test to get that wound around any structure.
And what is the difference with the grounding system versus the antenna. So many question! Cannot get my mind around it at the moment.Last edited by Mwtj; 01-26-2017, 05:30 PM.
