Probably best called a diamond in a junkyard, Joe Tate’s “Ambient Power Module” or APM is a fun romp in the world of fringe radio.

Fundamentally factual and practical, some real old timers will reconize the “APM” from the days when batteries were very expensive and the power requirements for a radio receiver were next to nothing. Way back then, young experimenters built APMs using old ignition coils to harvest a bit of free electricity from local radio broadcasts and save to cost of an “A” or “B” cell.
Tate’s subsequent observations regarding ambient radio signal strength and earthquake activity might carry a warning for low power broadcasters in earthquake country 🙂

also see…
there is tons of interesting info on these sites
another source for info on free energy, over unity, etc. can be found on P2P using utorrent for the software and http://thepiratebay.org for the links to tell the software what to download.

Total posts : 45366Ambient power of this sort is something I heard an anecdote about years ago. That is, tapping power out of the air from broadcast sources. It’s a “transformer” effect, it seems, and the closer you get to the wave length of a powerful station the more “juice” you’d get. I’m speculating based on previous impressions on this subject. But if the lights started dimming at the local 50 KW station they’d probably come looking for you.
Here we are directly in the path of a DIRECTIONAL 50 KW station! AND we have a 5 KW a mile away and another 2-miles away. But they’re all day timers, so night time would be a whole different result.
Art Bell, ham operator and inventor of “Coast to Coast,” talked about getting a serious voltage from a high horizontal wire that was connected to nothing.
This sounds like a wonderful project for Part 15ers! The yard will start looking like a giant bed spring.
