Charging a battery free by static electricity

[hudouriezh]

Hello everyone, I'm new to the site.
I just saw a subject which dates from quite a long time, (static electric module) I join the link for more understanding.

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/915226/fr ... _thin_air/

Is there someone who goes up there, takes a little module.
I would like to try this circuit.
If so, have you made it work.

Thank you Best regards.

Hello everybody
I came across this subject (which I found very interesting by its simplicity and ingenuity) and I therefore decided to embark on the construction of this object.
So I have a few questions for those who know how to do it:

Or did you get the 5000v capacitor and the 5000v diode and what are their reference numbers please?
Can I use a 2400v capacitor (rc-qza242wreo) instead of microwave and the diode (hvo3-12) attached to it?
When you talk about grounding the circuit, are you using a grounding bar like this?

Well, hoping to have my questions answered.
A +!

I tried it and as I thought I did not fully see the wire of the cell phone charger of the video, it's pipeau!
I walked everywhere, placed in all positions and the maximum that I managed to reach (under an electric pylon of several tens of thousands of volts) is 0.7 vdc.
I told myself that maybe I had messed up in my diode connections, so I reversed their senses and that's when I had a 0.00 vdc display and never change again, unlike my previous editing.
So my previous editing was functional.

I suspect that this video "of the perpetual electric movement" is a bait for the purpose of selling a book or a DVD which shows all the knowledge of this filmmaker of special effects.

This voltage doubler assembly with capacities not indicated (essential), works near an alternating 30000V generator (transformer) giving high voltages all around !!!

But yes, static electricity exists that you see in the form of flashes of millions of volts !!
Around a hundred volts per meter, but very low current (with electrometer) !!
The higher the altitude compared to the ground, the higher the tension, varying with the weather, and very dangerous on thunderstorm (dead) days !!
But this electricity is diluted and therefore you must know how to harvest it from very weak currents and high voltages, except lightning strikes, where the storm collects for you !!

Hello

diode and capa mounting of a voltage doubler ....

but with a circuit tuned to 50 Hz, perhaps can be better. to try for those it tempts.

for denis, who lives under a high voltage line, I think that to recover energy it is rather necessary to create a magnetic coupling. (Since there must be a packet of amps to pass through)
I will see a metal rail style rail parallel to the line, as long as possible, wound like an electromagnet.
He should get something to light up. However, the output voltage will vary depending on the current in the line.
That said I am not sure between recovery or theft of energy because we create a coupling.

[dedeleco]

In order for these different assemblies to work, you must have assimilated the basics of electromagnetism (200 years of research) to avoid absurd errors !!
A fluorescent tube works almost alone under a high voltage 200000V line by coupling especially electrostatic !!

The magnetic coupling (less good) with coil will work with a large coil in the right direction (perpendicular) compared to the magnetic field created by the wires but very attenuated by the three wires of three-phase phases, and function of the current which passes there, in depending on the number of users.

The electrostatic requires capacitive plates of large surface, one in ground and the other in very high air far away horizontal. With beautiful m2 you can have a serious cost with an energy produced by voltage proportional to the surface and dependent on the wind, especially on stormy days, very dangerous, see Franklin and his kite !! !

Oki doki perpendicular.
Can we make a mistake without being badly sent for our goals?

Ben, this is not "to return to his goals", nor badly, but, to save time, yes, you can go back to 1820 and rediscover the magnetic field of an electric current from a high voltage line wire !!
Christian Oerstedt has discovered with a compass, and had no high voltage line at its disposal at the time !!

You have the right to make a mistake and go back to 400000 years ago and rediscover fire, which in Koh Lanta is not so easy for us to make fire without matches !!
