    I think the reason the extension cord did nothing is because in an electric circuit, the electrons move out in one wire and back in another. But in that cord all the wires have the overhead lines pushing the electrons the same direction, cancelling out any voltage. You would have to get one of the wires out of the electric field (e.g. a really large loop of cable) in order to see a voltage. One possibility is to use your coax cable, as the inner conductor is shielded from the field by the outer sheath. So if you connected the inner conductor and the shield together at one end of the cable, you would have a long run in one direction (the shield) and an isolated run back again (the inner conductor) which won't generate an opposing voltage because it's shielded. In theory this would give you the highest voltage/current and you wouldn't need to connect to earth. It'd be interesting to try it out as this idea sounds good in theory but you never know until you try it.

    What DMI needs is an old microwave transformer. One wire is allready grounded. And the secundary windings gives above 10 volts. Then a diode to a car battery. And a long parallel blank wire, at 2 feet of the line. The succes is ensured.

    My sister lived right next to hv transmission lines , she was always sick with something, she died at 60 from retaining water , even after she moved she was sick all the time from this or that . Her immune system was almost zero from being over charged, I don’t think she knew about grounding. I remember being there when the moisture fog ect was heavy , you could hear the current moving thru the lines , just a constant zzzzzz
  • As to your coax line experiment, I'd like to try a coax ( or any type of wire line) line, loop back and forth numerous times, parallel to the HV lines. I would like to know if the energy collected increases. This would take time to set up. If I lived near you, I would assist and contribute to the experiment. Very, very interesting.
  • Read about the "Ice pail experiment" then go and find yourself a nice hollow metal sphere, like the top of a Van De Graff generator. Not kidding. It will be spectacular and a hell of a lot safer than that 88uF capacitor.

    You might try an experiment to make a quarter wave or a half wave dipole antenna tune for 60 hertz to capture the resonate energy from power line

    Hide Tesla secondary coils in fence posts and collect power.
  • What if you drove you truck up on a couple pieces of wood like you are? The truck is probably grounded. Thanks. I have no clue just like you . Curious

    I think i need to make a grounding suit and wear it always, also i dont think tin foil hats are a good idea anymore lol

    What if the power plants were just for show and the power lines grabbed the aether from the sky like you’re grabbing the power from the line 🤔

    I wonder if it could power a drone? If so, maybe too much noise for a signal?

    Looking for an invention that's for sale to put out in my yard that will keep a battery bank charged up to supply electricity for home. Why buy solar panels when this current of electricity is in the ground, in the air, in the antennas? Need some help to get a product that will sit outside and charge batteries.
  • I found the biggest blackberries iv ever seen under some big power lines. I later found out that magnets can increase or decrease yield from treated seeds. They also can make treated fruits grow large and watery from one pole and small and flavourful from the other. The power line I am talking about was buzzing and sparking in a way that made me feel uneasy. The blackberries at the base of the steel tower were all about an inch wide, normal blackberries in this area are about a quarter of an inch wide.

    What does it do to one? Is it harmful?
