The video author implies a backwards Tesla coil with a large, long final output coil would collect ambient energy and step down the incoming power, through the original primary coil of the Tesla coil, to be used, then, to charge a battery through a diode.
I never heard this was possible.
Is the same level of tuning required? Is a huge input coil required on the first stage as the collector? Is a globe also required?
The author of the video didn't say if he had a prototype. This was his theory, I presume. Does anyone agree?
This is an archive thread that members can post to if they wish. It won't be "sticky" to the top of the page.
