Free Energy Rod 2

Very simple free energy using an aluminum tube from an old lawn chair, a piece of paper (insulator), steel wire.

All it consists of is:

1. Copper pipe (or aluminum, but copper works better)
2. Paper -as insulator
3. Steel wire- 16 gauge (the thicker the better) galvanized is OK. wrapped as tight as possible.

you can cover it with tape if you want- it only serves to help keep the wire on tight, but has no other function.

The pipe is the (+) the wire is the (-)

That's it! It seems to work because of a principle that when 2 different metals are very close to each other, but not touching, they throw off electrons.

Could be acting like a battery, not sure. I think it's due to the dissimilar metals in close contact.

Aluminum + Insulator + Iron = Energy

Can you increase voltage by connecting in series: positive to neg, and neg to positive?

So far, not directly, but I haven't tried using diodes and capacitors yet. Right now I'm experimenting with different metals- copper tubing gets twice voltage, and 16 gauge wire (instead of 22 gauge)also increases voltage. Also, when you wet the finished tube, voltage increases (battery effect?) Stay tuned.

Have you tried a large device? See if the energy output gets bigger with the size?

[singerxyz]

Yes it does. It also works better with a copper pipe.

It seems to be due to an effect that happens when dissimilar metals are close together.

[singerxyz]

Galvanized wire works too (I just tried it ;-)

P.S. I'm not trying to claim anything, or make a hoax or anything like that. I just love playing with this stuff and found this effect. fun!

[jrussellslack]

Very interesting. I'm wondering if this effect is related to triboelectric charging. All of your materials, however, are very close together in the tribo-scale (with the first one, aluminum, at the lower end of the positive materials). That is, in descending order, aluminum, paper, and steel. You may get stronger potential differences by substituting different materials for your three elements. Also, you may get stonger effects by larger mass (bigger pieces, proportionately).

Just a thought, rather then DC, have you tried to measure AC voltage? This device should be able to pick up radiant energy quite well, but probably won't work as a storage device in that way, but more like a receiver or antenna like capacitor. You can use your kitchen sink faucet usually to get a good earth ground if you'd like to try and use this as a receiver.

Go do some research on the Seebeck effect. Aluminum has a Seebeck coefficient of 3.5, iron has a coefficient of 19. I suspect this is where your voltage is coming from.

I really don't understand the deffinetion of chemical energy well enough to say. But I don't believe in a free lunch. OH ! the food may be free, But, Some body is going to have to build a fire and cook it. I don't believe anyone is going to build a machine that creats energy from nothing. BUT;; There is Free energy all areund us. We are just going to have to dream up new ways to gather it, in usable forms.

[Drevtoobe]

Interesting point but it does not relate to what I said.

Do you think this is 'free energy' or chemical energy?

[RHEAD100]

You talk like you are an athority in electronics. Something tells me you didn't do so well in History class. Over half the telegraphs in the USA & Europe were run on simaler devices for over 50 years in the 1800's. Try goggleing Earthy battery.

[Drevtoobe]

Aluminum + Insulator + Iron = CHEMICAL Energy.

Dissimilar metals, etc; another chemical battery. Just to be sure you get it: Eventually all of the metal oxidizes and your source of electricity is gone. Nothing left, nada. This in not free energy by any means.

[shubus]

Thus tube from what I can make out appears to be functioning as a capacitor being charged by the meter. If that's what we got then NOT free energy.

[RenderingSanity]

Is there any way to make sure this isn't some kind of oxidizing effect or something of the like?

To me it seems like it could perhaps be collecting static electricity from the air. I look forward to seeing the replications of the project.
