Rain fuel generator. Intriguingly simple sounding tech.

I was curious, so I had a look. I dunno, I would have to see it working scaled up I suppose. Youtube suggested this vid next (fitting?)

For me, that link goes to 'Reviewing Free Energy Generators. A Response to My Video "Nikola Tesla's Greatest Invention"- 102'. Was that the video you intended?...
replied 1157d
I ask because your thread seems to pertain to another video - 'How Powering with Atmospheric Electricity Works'. Maybe I am way off here though.
replied 1157d
The link was intended, but I can see how it was confusing. In that video there is a lot of talk about how and why people would fake free energy (ish) devices, which I found relevant.

What I later added to my reply was perhaps more on topic, and I indeed talk of vids like 'How Powering with Atmospheric Electricity Works'.

A possible problem with this invention is that it seems to be based on the electrical potential difference at different heights. There is another non scaleable way to use that.

You fly a kite and put some special shape stuff on the kite (spikes and something I think), and a wire down to earth, and you get a current. Problem is, while there is a potential

difference, you don't have to pull much energy out of the system before the potential difference goes away. It's like having a dam for hydro power with very little water.

There are some videos about the kite thing which explains this in great detail. Until a large scale test has been performed, I'll assume that "your" invention has the same problem.

I am still trying to rap my head around what makes it work. If atmospheric potential difference, then why do they get a result from 15cm. I thought triboelectric after watching vid…
replied 1157d
I have no idea. I don't even know what triboelectric is. I thought pointing to that other experiment strengthened my stance of "we still don't have enough data to know this is useful"

As usual, I try to make up for lack of sufficient knowledge with an abundance of short lived and ill founded enthusiasm

I would like to see a transparent rain generator. That way, perhaps it could overlay a solar panel and be a generic weather generator.
replied 1157d
If the thing is practical I think making it transparent should be a relatively easy task, though maybe not as simple to DIY with simple household items?

Fuck off bitch, you support russia, fuck off and die scum.
