Recently, works devoted to the technologies and devices of the so-called “doomsday” have increasingly appeared. We also decided to keep up with this trend and add the following proposal to the general collection: how can we use the energy of static electricity, which literally permeates our atmosphere [1].

Ideas about converting the natural electrostatics around us into energy for domestic use have come from free energy researchers since the discovery of electricity [2-6]. But the general problem here lies in the low-potential basis of such energy: despite the seemingly high intensity of this field near the Earth’s surface in \(130\) V/m, The electric current density in the atmosphere, in good weather, is only \(3 \cdot 10^{-12}\, A/m^2\). And even during thunderstorms, which we cannot count on to build a stable device, this density is in the region \(10^{-4}\, A/m^2\) [7] .

The approach to the problem proposed here is based on one non-classical property of the Tesla transformer (TT) [8] - amplification of atmospheric signals, which was presented in these experiments. This effect is quite simple: under certain conditions, a TT can detect and amplify a weak electromagnetic signal. And if so, then one TT can emit low-power portions of electromagnetic energy, and the second can receive and amplify them. This principle is presented in Figure 1, where block 1 acts as a radiating TT, and two receiving and amplifying TTs are assembled into blocks 2 and 3. In this case, the initial energy is taken by these blocks from atmospheric electricity.

Each block consists of a separate container CH1-CH3, which can be structurally designed in the form of a sphere, torus or dome. The last option is more advantageous, because It has a pointed end at the top, which will allow it to better attract charges. The hot ends of the TT and arresters FV1-FV3 are connected to the isolated containers, protecting the rest of the circuit from high-voltage static discharges and lightning.

TTs are swung by inductors, which receive pulses from generator blocks GB1-GB3, which, in turn, are powered from blocks RB1-RB3. Blocks RB2 and RB3 are also connected to the ACB power unit, consisting of batteries and a terminal converter, and power it.

Thus, the emitting unit receives initial energy from static atmospheric charges, converts it into portions of electromagnetic waves, and transmits them to two receiving and amplifying units. They, in turn, strengthen this energy, which feeds the power block. External consumers are connected to its terminal outputs PW1 and PW2.

Obviously, there can be more than two receiving and amplifying units. In this case, the overall efficiency of the device increases. In addition, not two, but a multi-level system can be built, in which the amplification passes through several stages.

Figure 2 shows a possible block circuit design. The X1 input of the RB1 unit receives both the current component from TT1 and static electricity collected by the isolated capacitor CH1. Further, these components are separated using diodes D1 and D2, inductor L1. Zener diode D2 limits the output voltage of this block, which is formed at outputs X2-X3. Capacitor C1 smoothes out output ripple. Blocks RB2 and RB3 differ in that the current component is not directly connected to the ground, but first creates a potential at the output X4 of these blocks, energizing the power block.

Generator blocks GB1-GBn are designed in a classic way: a key transistor VT1 is connected to their generator GG1, which creates electromagnetic oscillations in the TT through an inductor. One of the generation modes is described in these experiments. The ACB power block consists of a BMS load balancer for batteries AC1-ACn, which is also connected to the INV output inverter, from which external consumers are powered through its outputs PW1 and PW2.

Despite the rather lowdensity of electric charge in the atmosphere, Using the principle presented here, it is possible to achieve compaction of electrical energy even with a relatively small area of isolated containers involved in the installation. Increasing efficiency becomes possible by increasing efficiency of the second kind. In essence, we get a device for compressing low-grade electrical energy.

Signal amplification using secondary TTs works in some well-known free energy devices. Their disadvantage includes the use of an external electrical network to power the radiating TT. An example of such a setup is given below.

The device proposed here (Fig. 1) does not have this drawback, receives initial energy from static atmospheric electricity and does not require an industrial network for its operation. This allows it to be used in hard-to-reach regions, in areas without electrification.
