Take it or leave it. I'm giving away the keys to energy freedom for free. I'm going to do my best not to respond to critics because I am right and I don't need to argue. (But I'm not perfect and I can be a victim of temptation)
Accomplishing unlimited free energy is actually very simple and it was staring us in the face for 150 years via power generation devices that weren't even hidden. They hid them in plain sight right in the electrical engineering classroom. I know because I actually had one of the key devices in the classroom at my college, I was told it was useless by idiots.
There are three key ingredients in achieving unlimited free energy:
- Capacitors
- High Voltage (high tension)
- Electrostatics
To understand this you need to understand how a capacitor is rated. It is rated using a unit called the farad. A capacitor that is rated to 1 farad will hold 1 coulomb (6.24e18 electrons) of charge when 1 volt is applied accross the terminals. The formula for this is Q = C / V where Q is in farads, C is charge and V it elevtromotive force (volts)
1 amp-second is defined as 1 coulomb of charge moving past a given point in a circuit averaged over 1 second.
1 watt second is 1 amp second delivered at 1 volt of electromotive force, a watt second can also be called defined as 1 joule of energy as 1 joule = 1 watt second.
Therefore if I charge a 500 nanofarad capactor to 1 volt, the capacitor will contain 500 nanocoulombs of charge. When you discharge the capacitor the average voltage over the discharge is 1/2 the maximum voltage that the capacitor obtained.
So the total amount of work you could extract from a 500 nF capacitor when charged to 1 Volt discharged over 1 second can be defined by the formula P = I * 1/2 V = 5e-7 A * 0.5 V = 2.5e-7 Watt seconds. A very low number, negligible power.
That's if we charge it to 1 volt. What if we could charge it to 450,000 volts? How much work could I do with the energy in the capacitor then?
C = V * Q = 4.5e5 V * 5e-7 F = 0.225 coulombs.
If I discharge that over 1 second, that's 0.225 amp seconds and the avergage voltage of the discharge will be 225,000 volts.
Plug that into the power formula and you get P = I * V = 0.225 A * 225,000 V = 50,625 watt seconds or 50.625 kilojoules if you prefer to call it joules instead.
50,625 Watt seconds / 3600 seconds per hour = 14.0625 watt hours.
This is a much nicer level of charge, but in order to get it, we have to provide extremely high tension and current tranformers have efficiency losses and then you have to rectify the output, or you have to step it up with flyback transformers and even then you still have to supply all the current to the primary to get the voltage out of the secondary.
It's clear that you cant get free energy that way.
But what if you had a low effort way of generating high voltage?
This is where electrostatics come in. Most people are aware of Van Der Graaf generators, these are machines that use friction with the triboelectric to generate static electricity. They can generate millions of volts at a low current level, but they aren't good enough.
There's a different type of electrostatic generator that doesn't use friction, but uses pure electrostatics to work. It's called an electrostatic influence machine.
The most powerful variety I am aware of is of the bonneti and wimshurst designs. Wimshirst machines are actually very popular demonstration devices in classses. They have counter-rotating disks and very little friction and produce currents that are many times greater than a Van Der Graaf generator for the same amount of effort to opperate.
It the following video you can see an example of opperation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb-T8UtqbpM
Each and every one of those sparks in the video is 2.5 Joules or 2.5 Watt seconds. He states that he has 500 picofarad capacitors and that his voltage is 100,000 volts with that arc distance set.
Let's check the math.
1e5 V * 5-e10 = 5e-5 coulombs, over 1 second, 5e-5 Amp seconds 5e-5 A * (1e5 V / 2) = 5e-5 A * 5e4 V = 2.5 Watt seconds or 2.5 Joules
Math checks out.
Now it's important to understant what a Leyden Jar is because it's just a simple capacitor made out of glass bottle and some metal. The important thing to know is that a jar with 568 ml of capacity has an typical capacitance of 1 nanofarad.
The reason the previous set up had 500 picofarads of capacitance is because 2 jars are used in series and the capacitance of two capacitors in series is equal to the reciprocal of the sum of reciprocal capacitance of the capacitors in series, or simply, Q = (1^-1 nF + 1^-1 nF)^-1 = 500 pF.
Knowing that: we know that if we see a layden jar that is that big or bigger, we can resonably estimate that it is a 1 nF capacitor.
This bring me onto the next part to show you. Fast forward to 38:55 for the action to start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kMQJk8HZZg&t=2578s (new, better designed machine, different video, different builder)
We can be overly conservative after he switches to his bigger jars and say that his leyden jars aren't well designed and he needed his bigger jars just to get to 500 picofarads.
Now, he set's his spark distance to 6.25 inches.
The breakdown voltage of air at sea level is 30,000 volts per centimeter. We'll assume he is at sea level.
6.25 inches = 15.875 centimeters
15.875 * 30,000 Volts = 476,250 Volts.
So how much charge does his capactor bank store then?
C = Q * V = 5e-10 * 4.7625 e5 = 2.38125 e-4 coulombs, if disharged over 1 second that's 238.125 microamp seconds.
That doesn't sound impressive until you calculate power.
P = I * V = 2.38125 A * (476250 V / 2) = 56.7 watt seconds per spark, those are 56.7 joule sparks!
Why does this matter?
Well he's producing those sparks at a frequency of about 1 spark per second once he get's his wheels spinning to speed. That's 56.7 Joules per second or 56.7 Watts per second.
A typical basic battery opperated hand drill has a wattage rating from 25-100 watts.
It does not take that much energy to spin these disks. If you attached the same handle to the end of a 56.7 watt PMDC motor is tuned to run at 120 rpm (about the maximum speed the builder turned the handle) produces roughle 3.3 foot punds of tourque.
It doesn't take 3.3 foot pounds to turn those wheels.
If you need more proof of the power these machines generate because this still isn't good enough for you, here's more evidence by using the power directly with an corona discharge motor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDRCKVUO8vw&t=195s
He's using a weak ass (by comparisson) Van Der Graaf generator to power a corona discharge motor, to power a 7/8 spade bit to drill through plastic and wood.
IOW.
You know what to do now.
It's easy and any one who is willing to do a little home manufacturing can get this done TODAY.
Don't trust me, build it yourself, see it for yourself.
PEACE!
EDIT: One remark for the conservative skeptics. Regardless of whether or not these machines are best describe with an efficiency number or a COP rating doesn't really matter.
My point for you conservative skeptics is that you can build these out of cheap and readily available materials. Something that's harder to say for an electromagnetic generator.
One way or another, your average person could build themselves one of these machines and then copy the designs for the atmospheric motor in the third video and they can generate power that they didn't have to pay any one for with machines that a high school student from could put together.
Even if they have to power it with water, wind or whatever else. Regardless of your opinion on COP, we're on the same side.
I did answer Elcycs comments. I suggested that the energy source was described by Nicola Tesla and that it wasn’t “magic”. You suggested that
“Tesla talked a good story. But he also did not believe in the atomic theory (matter is made of atoms), so you can't take him as in infallible prophet.”
while offering no source/proof for your belief that Tesla did not believe in atomic theory and then assumed that folks here believe Tesla was an “infallible prophet” which I don’t believe anybody here suggested. Perhaps you should engage some of the other commenters on this thread that are actually discussing the physics suggested by OP instead of trying to convince everybody how dismissive Tesla was of the atomic theory.
Well, I have read an awful lot about Tesla, especially in connection with his lost papers, and that is what I read. A lot of folks here do indeed regard Tesla as equivalent to a prophet; they entertain the fantasy that phenomenal lost technology was hidden in his papers. Such as "free energy," which source you did NOT explain. Tesla didn't explain it either. It is all an allegation---in other words, magic. He alleged knowledge of a "death ray." Nothing there. We came up with it on our own, thanks to atomic theory and quantum theory. My instance of that weakness in Tesla was intended to counterbalance all the hoopla about his magical mystery science. (He never alleged any magical mystery, of course, but that is what the enthusiast supporters de facto claim for him.)
For an outfit whose motto is supposed to be "Question everything!", there is a surprising degree of ignorant credulity. They don't question whether Tesla had any secrets worth knowing; they just assume they were all stolen and hidden by the FBI. So, on top of credulity and fantasy, they layer paranoid conspiracy theory. Not a good combination.
But as long as we agree that Tesla put his pants on one leg a a time, we are in agreement.
Interesting! Although we have gone far off the beaten path regarding the subject of the OP, I do question everything, I would be interested in reading some of the material that your have read regarding Tesla. Perhaps you can share some of this information?
There are books written, easy to find. The Wikepedia entry is quite decent. His experiments in wireless power transmission at Wardenclyffe were never completed, so we will never know what he had in mind. (My own surmise is that he may have thought he could exploit a conductive layer in the atmosphere as a means to propagate direct current up from the ground, to be taken down by a receiver. No such layer exists at low altitude. His lack of knowledge about atomic and molecular physics may have led him astray.)
