The signal injected into the Single Wire going to the Condo only serves to “oscillate” the Antenna Wires AND its Environment
to facilitate coupling.
I experimented with this a few years ago and made fairly precise measurements given that this story is rehashed by all the Anglo-Saxon "free energy" crackpots (because of Avramenko's patent WO9323907: Method and apparatus for single line electrical transmission). I measured the current in the "single wire". And of course the energy recovered by the capacitor was up to the losses, what the generator had provided.
A current only flows in a looped circuit, including looped thanks to displacement currents. A single "wire", coupled for example to an HF source, will actually charge your capacitor, but what you have not seen is that the circuit is completed by the parasitic capacitance between the capacitor and the environment ( ground or ground of nearby devices). Whatever the distances between conductors, this capacitance always exists, and if components of the signal to be recovered are at high frequencies, which is the case with a square wave, then the impedance of these parasitic capacitances becomes sufficiently low for a significant current circulates, capable of charging the capacitor thanks to the diodes, in particular if the assembly is carried out with an LC circuit tuned to the frequency.
This assembly would only be of interest with a coupling to a natural environmental field, otherwise it would be taking energy from a conventional source that we would have much better ways of using by connecting to it. . directly! And unfortunately, natural electric/magnetic fields, aside from lightning, are at the level of barely detectable background noise, not what will power your washing machine.
