Electricity From Air - Wireless Electricity

by Nikola Tesla, radiant energy from cosmic rays. This circuit will absorb electricity from thin air, the electromagnetic field in free space. The ampere is very low, approximately 1 milliampere. You will generally not be able to power anything from this circuit.

Germanium diodes will conduct at a forward voltage of only about 0.15V, but a silicon diode will not start to conduct until a forward voltage (positive on the anode) of 0.6V is reached.

Table 3.1 Diodes

Just like germanium diodes are more sensitive, capacitors also have varying performance depending on materials used and construction, therefore I will suggest that just as the values of the capacitors are most given, just as important is their specifications such as their permittivity. The performance of a capacitor has this formula.

If you get capacitors with high resistance the circuit will not function.

Also the preceding capacitor values will need to forward bias the germanium diodes and not act as a resistor and ceramic capacitors deal in very small farads and therefore are most suitable for low lost applications, such as timing applications, switching, wireless switching and static electricity. Therefore you will need to have germanium diodes forward bias at a much lower value before you can bring down the values of the ceramic capacitors.
