Energy from magnetic vector potential

(1/2) > >>

Smudge:
Here is a paper considering means for obtaining energy from a static vector magnetic potential.  Since the earth's vector potential is quite large this could be a means for obtaining energy from the Earth's magnetism.  If it works it offers potential for a vector potential measuring instrument (which doesn't exist), for a new form of electronic compass, and a new perception as to what the vector field really is.  Oh! and it could also be a new energy source :)

Hi Smudge

Have you seen this video and the two before?

I think maybe you are both looking at the MVP !

Thanks for your insites, I find this facinating

Hi Mike,

Looked at those videos.  Certainly interesting and I'll delve further to see of I can come up with an explanation.  If I had a decent 'scope and somewhere to work I'd try replicating that experiment.  I really must buy a Rigol scope and convert our summerhouse into a laboratory C.C

If you would put that capacitor inside of Faraday cage the results might be less interfered by external RF/etc.
Also here is someone's replication on this:

I watched all four videos and find them interesting.

 If I may, I would like to suggest that he use a much smaller film capacitor and put a micro amp meter across the capacitor to measure actual current in real time. Alternately eliminate the capacitor and just measure current.

You can always compute charge rate later from the measured current, besides, and most importantly it will eliminate the large dielectric absorption effects common to large electrolytics. Also, you can then make  changes to the device to tune it while watching current increase or decrease in real time. If a capacitor must be used, I would select a low value , low dielectric absorption type.

my 2 pence
