Nowadays, the specter of an energy crisis has arisen. Humanity is looking for different answers to this challenge, offering a solution in the form of atomic energy or alternative energy sources. But what are they? Can an “ordinary” ordinary person get the opportunity to enjoy the fruits of technological progress, collecting what will allow the exploitation of electricity sources, with their own hands? Yes, and the implementation will be shown in the article using wind energy as an example.
Alternative Energy Opportunities
But initially, let's talk about alternative energy in general. Its feature is that it uses energy sources that will not run out in the near future. The disadvantage that slows down its widespread adoption is its binding to certain environmental parameters and a long payback period.
But the above possibilities are not what is the main goal of the article. Here we will talk about such an unusual way of generating energy that most people do not know about it. So, how to get electricity from the air with your own hands?
Getting energy from the air
But what about wind power? At first they always remember about her. It requires the presence of sufficiently fast air currents, windmills, which will rotate and turn the mechanical energy of the wind into electricity. The best option is if the wind flow is more than 5 m / s.
The transformation mechanism is that the wind rotates the blades of a windmill, which are connected to a current generator. Since mechanical energy is supplied to it , the generator turns it into electrical energy.
But the most exotic way of mining is do-it-yourself electricity from the air. Not with the help of air, but from it. How is this possible? Probably many of you have heard about the fact that electrical devices create electric fields, so why not draw energy from these fields?
What is needed to create a simple power generation station?
How to get electricity from the air? The minimum required to draw electricity from the air is earth and a metal antenna. An electric potential is established between these conductors with different polarity, which accumulates over a long time. Given the inconstancy of a quantity, it is almost impossible to calculate its strength. Such a station works like lightning: a current discharge occurs after a certain time, when the maximum potential is reached. In this way, you can get quite a lot of electricity to support the operation of the electrical installation.

You are probably interested not only in electricity from the air. The outline of how to make it is the most important. Well, I suggest a look at how she looks. In general, nothing complicated, and everything is signed on the figure. Just say: do not try to call the handset headphones. If you call it that way, do-it-yourself
electricity, the circuit and its implementation - this is not for you, too little experience.
Consider the pros and cons of the design.
First about the pros:
- The simplicity of the design, due to which the practical repetition at home - is not difficult.
- Availability of materials required for the project.
Now about the disadvantages:
- It should be borne in mind that, despite its simplicity, the circuit is extremely dangerous due to the impossibility of calculating the approximate number of amperes and the strength of the current pulse.
- The formation of an open ground loop during operation, resulting in lightning strikes up to 2,000 volts. This was the main reason why the installation was recognized as unsafe for life and, accordingly, did not put it into production.
Therefore, the electricity obtained through a solar panel or a wind generator is safer. But you can acquire a mechanism of similar action - this is a Chizhevsky chandelier (one of the most amazing Soviet developments). Although it does not make it possible to receive electricity from the air with your own hands, it is a very interesting design.
Alternative Brand
The device is also known as a TPU air electricity generator, developed by Stephen Mark. It allows you to receive different amounts of electricity to power different purposes, and this is done without the need for recharge from the external environment. But due to some features, it still does not work. Such a problem does not hurt, however, to tell you about it.
The principle of operation is simple: the resonance of magnetic eddies and currents is created in the ring, which contributes to the appearance of current surges in metal bends. To assemble such a toroidal generator that allows you to get electricity from the air with your own hands, you need:
- The base, which can be a piece of plywood that looks like a ring, polyurethane or a piece of rubber; 2 collector coils (external and internal) and a control coil. As a base, a ring with an outer diameter of 230 millimeters and an inner diameter of 180 is best suited.
- Wind the coil inside the manifold. The winding should be three-turn and made by a stranded wire made of copper. Theoretically, to power a light bulb, you should have enough of one turn as in the photographs. If it doesn’t work, do it again.
- The control coils need 4 pieces. Each of them should be placed at right angles so as not to interfere with the magnetic field. The winding should be flat, and the gap between the turns should not exceed 15 millimeters. Less is also undesirable.
- To wind control coils, use a single-wire cable. It is necessary to make at least 21 turns.
- For the last reel, use a copper wire with insulation that should be wound over the entire area. The main construction is completed.
Connect the leads by pre-installing a ten microfarad capacitor between the ground and the return ground. To power the circuit, use multivibrators and transistors. They will have to be selected empirically due to the fact that we need different characteristics for different designs.
Alternative Kapanadze
I also want to bring to your attention a scheme that is likely to describe the invention of Kapanadze. It is based on the Tesla coil, which can accumulate electricity. Is this so - you can check it personally.
