You need Chapter 7:
To start with:
Try with just the aerial, the capacitor and a voltmeter across
it, with a good earth connection. You will find that the voltage
builds up across the cap.
Take it from there.
Paul-R
n.b. avoid electrolytic capacitors because it is uncertain which
way round it should be connected. Use a high quality cap, and
get several of different values. (The bigger the cap, the more
energy is stored but the longer it will take for a voltage to build
up.
