The Pyramidal Electric Transducer
Abstract
We have found that the dimensional ratios of the Great Pyramid of Giza (GPG) express the key ratios of an AC voltage sine wave as well as ratios of the Fibonacci number. As pyramidal horn antennas are suitable for the detection of short-pulse waveforms, we reasoned that the shape of GPG could embody a time domain, wideband antenna for atmospheric electrostatic discharge (ESD) impulses. This hypothesis has subsequently been confirmed. We have further found that the pyramidal antenna, modeled on the GPG, can couple into the atmosphere and transfer the power of ESD impulses into a novel lumped-element resonant circuit that converts the random impulses into regular series of exponentially decaying sinusoidal wave trains. Thus, ESD
impulses can be transformed into an alternating current of predictable frequency. This system could become a source of renewable electric power by utilizing the electrical activity of the atmosphere.

To investigate this possibility, a logarithmic sweep was
performed on a 1 foot base length pyramid from 500 Hz to 5 MHz at 10 msec sweep speed by using a Wavetek 185 signal generator (Figure 1). The pyramid was placed inside a cylindrical metallic emitter (52 cm diameter, 26 cm high with 0.3 mm wall thickness) to account for the fact that atmospheric ESD impulses are received omni-directionally.
The oscilloscope trace shows a wide bandwidth response demonstrating that the 1 foot base length pyramid indeed functions as a wideband antenna.
