If you use the signal just to create resonance in the circuit and than use the system i want to do maybe could be possible to don't use too much signal. You need only the high voltages to steal the current from the air thats the goal not to absorb the all signal transmitted. It is a starter. Tesla was a genius he would not say oh i discovered a method for transmitting electricity to every one for free, so he didn't told his investors and constructed the all thing. You cant use one device to transmit energy to every one unless it works as i described because if don't people far from the antenna would have no power.

 

Now your getting it. by tuning the receiver to the radio frequency it will resonate itself up to very high antenna voltages that are needed to trigger the power collection. Thusly you will get a high voltage driver for your collection system without using any power provided by yourself.

Thats where I suspect that static buildup came from I would get.
Simple harmonic resonance. If you calculate how little power there is coming from a radio signal produced over 100 miles away it would be come apparent that there wouldn't be enough energy to do anything useful.

And I would love to see someone from that radio station claim I was stealing their signal power when I was at the outer limit of its transmitter range in the first place!

Yes just like that.
They will never even know about your existence.

 

It's VERY useful for one thing. Communication =)

Thats why if I ever try the experiment again I am going to use the local AM country music station. I could care less if it looses power!

(Plus the tower is only a few miles from here and it has the strongest local signal)

I sort of wish it was not spring time and I had so much other stuff to do!
I have so many fun and almost educational experiments to try out!

This would definitely be one of them. Now that I have a lathe winding a very big coil is not a big deal. Last time it took me hours to wind a coil.
Now I could do it in minutes! Plus having a far better idea of what I had happening would make designing and fine tuning far simpler.
although dumb luck and shear coincidence gave me some interesting results worthy of a dedicated retest.

Useful information about use of 4046 and decade counter for frequency multiplier. and a snap action comparator for pulse shape. here on page 70 71 The Forrest Mims circuit scrapbook - Pesquisa de Livros do Google


I finished the feed back circuit it transform the signal feedback in 50% duty cycle square wave. The center tap is connected to 5v and the opamp lm393 conected to 12v, Rin resistors are 500 Ohm and RF 50Kohm. Voltage of feed back signal is stable and remains the same for any frequency.

I got some strange behavior using 4017 decade counters it didn't seem to multiply the frequency with the pll like 7040 was able to do. don't understand why any help????

 

Here u go. Maybe this help u
