Method and Apparatus for Extracting and Conveying Electrical Energy
From the Earth's Ionosphere Cavity
Abstract
The system and apparatus of one or more embodiments of the
present invention extracts, conditions, and conveys electric power
from the earth ionosphere cavity through the integrated and
collaborative operation of the system and apparatus consisting of a
capacitively-coupled insulated elevated terminal (coupled capacitor
upper plate), an evacuated spark gap, an integrated step-down
transformer and resonant capacitor, and a ground terminal (coupled
capacitor lower plate). The architecture governing exemplary
embodiments of the system and apparatus of the present invention
emulates the natural architecture governing the interaction of
living trees with the electrical energy resident in the earth
ionosphere cavity. The implementation of such exemplary embodiments
of the present invention utilizes standard and customized
components appropriate for their function within the system and
apparatus. The extracted electric power from the earth ionosphere
cavity manifests in the form of broadband electromagnetic waves in
the 0 to 200 Hz frequency range. Electric energy from these waves
produce magnetic fields inside the integrated step-down transformer
which are added together by the primary coil of the integrated
step-down transformer, and delivered as 60 Hz 120/240 VAC to an
electric load via the secondary coil of the integrated step-down
transformer resonating at 60 Hz due to the influence of the
integrated resonant capacitor. The system and apparatus of
exemplary embodiments of the present invention extracts,
conditions, and conveys ionosphere cavity-resident electric power
in alternating current and direct current realms.

which makes reference to the accompanying figures, in which:
[0011] FIG. 1 provides an example of an electric power extraction
and conveyance apparatus for one residential-scale embodiment of
the present invention. Certain additional example embodiments of

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0013] Applicant has discovered that trees extract and use electric
power from the Earth ionosphere cavity. The present invention
emulates the architecture of electric power extraction and usage
methodology inherent in the natural operation of living trees, but
uses standard and customized components, common in the field, for
its implementation. The natural electric power extraction and use
of electric power by trees leverages the shape and physical
composition of trees as instances of large electrical capacitors
coupled to the ionosphere cavity. The canopy of trees (upper limbs
and leaf structures) emulates the upper plates of a coupled
capacitor, the trunks of trees emulate a combined dielectric and
resonant transformer/capacitor, and the root systems of trees
emulate ground terminals (lower coupled capacitor plates). The
extraction of electric power from the ionosphere cavity by trees is
in the form of ultra-low frequency broadband waves (oscillations)
in the frequency range of 0.1 to 14 Hertz (ULF). Inherent tree
physical composition and control structure (i.e., DNA/RNA) govern
the use of the extracted electric power to accomplish tree growth,
seasonal metabolic adjustments, and reproductive processes. Any
excess extracted electric power by trees is returned to the
ionosphere cavity. The present invention is an exemplary instance
of this same natural architecture using standard and customized
components that facilitate extraction and conveyance of ionosphere
cavity-resident broadband electric power at useful scales
sufficient to provide continuous electrical power for electrical
devices used by people.
[0014] One preferred exemplary embodiment of the present invention
is in the form shown in Drawing 1 above and will deliver continuous
60 Hz 120/240 V AC electric power to consumer residences (and other
structures with similar electricity conditioning and consumption
requirements) equivalent to electric power capacity of 5
kilowatts.
[0015] A secondary exemplary embodiment of the present invention is
also in the form shown in FIG. 1, appropriately scaled for larger
electrical power demands and related conveyance capacity, and will
deliver continuous 60 Hz 120/240 V AC electric power to larger
buildings or electrical distribution facilities for commercial
office parks with electric power capacity of 300 kilowatts.
[0016] A third exemplary embodiment of the present invention is
also in the form shown in FIG. 1, appropriately scaled for larger
electrical power capacity, and will deliver continuous 60 Hz
120/240 VAC electric power to utility substations with electric
power capacity of 30,000 kilowatts (or higher).
[0017] The following system, power sources, and component
descriptions provide additional details of the present invention in
various embodiments.
[0018] Earth's ionosphere cavity (10) is a reservoir of
continuously-generated electrical energy (E-Field) in both direct
current (DC) and alternating current (AC) realms. The DC electric
energy is created by the constant rotation of the Earth's
magnetosphere exposed to the solar wind. Earth's perpetually moving
magnetic fields create the DC electric power in the ionosphere
cavity E-Field per the equations in James Clerk Maxwell's
fundamental theory of electromagnetism. AC electrical energy in the
ionosphere cavity is generated from the persistent E-Field
disturbances (i. e., oscillations) caused by lightning discharges.
The present invention includes the direct extraction of AC electric
power from the ionosphere cavity, and the direct extraction of DC
electric power from the ionosphere cavity which is converted to AC
electric power before conveyance. Optional operational
configurations of the present invention will also enable conveyance
of extracted DC electric power for potential scenarios where the
conveyance of conditioned DC electricity is required.
[0019] Electric-field oscillations (22) are induced by lightning
and encapsulated in the earth-ionosphere cavity, creating a
continuous source of renewable electrical energy. The frequency of
lightning occurrences in the ionosphere cavity averages thirty (30)
strikes per second, with each strike representing approximately one
(1) terawatt (TW) of instantaneous energy. Assuming an average
energy dissipation rate for each lightning strike of fifteen (15)
microseconds (.mu.sec), i. e., the time involved for one (1)
terawatt of instantaneous energy to dissipate to zero (0) energy,
these lightning-induced electric field oscillations are sufficient
to provide 4,500 times the entire electric energy consumption on
planet Earth at the projected consumption rate for the year 2100
(55.3 TWh annually). Lightning-induced E-Field oscillations vary
between 0.1 and 14 Hertz with wavelengths exceeding the
practicality of an electromagnetic antenna for collecting the
energy. The present invention utilizes capacitive coupling to
overcome this obstacle.
[0020] An insulated upper capacitor plate (terminal) (12) elevated
above the influence of the ground floor collects E-Field
oscillations from the ionosphere cavity. This insulated elevated
terminal, capacitively-coupled to the E-Field bounded by the
earth-ionosphere cavity, is arranged in a surface of large radii of
curvature, supporting maximum surface connection to the E-Field
without leaking the high voltage charge applied to the elevated
terminal. The capacitance and resistance of the elevated terminal
are responsive to the reception of broadband electric-field
frequencies in the 0 to 200 hertz range. The elevated terminal is
subject to high voltage alternating current biasing used to collect
electric-field oscillations generated by lightning impulses in the
earth-ionosphere cavity.
[0021] An evacuated spark gap (24) connected to the elevated
terminal (12) prevents electrical discharge occurring between the
elevated terminal and the ionosphere cavity. As the high voltage
alternating current approaches peak voltage the spark gap energizes
and a large voltage is applied to the step-down transformer primary
coil (16). The high voltage pumps high current from the ground
terminal (14, 26) converting the electric-field to a magnetic field
within the transformer (16). The step-down transformer is connected
to a 60 hertz resonant capacitor (18), the secondary side of the
transformer resonating at 60 hertz will supply a 60 hertz 120/240
VAC power to the load. Filter circuits will condition the power.
The evacuated spark gap function may be accomplished by solid state
circuitry in the implementation of the present invention.
[0022] The resonant transformer (16) is integrated with a parallel
resonant capacitor across the transformer where the integrated
combination resonates at 60 hertz supplying power to the
electricity consuming structure (home or business). Various
step-down transformers (28) are utilized to condition the conveyed
electricity to accommodate the requirements of the receiving
station for various embodiments of the present invention.
[0023] Ground (26) is the source of electric current for the
present invention. A ground terminal, connected to the soil, is
arranged in a surface of large radii of curvature to permit
instantaneous sourcing of high currents from earth ground without
temperature and voltage rise inhibiting the ground terminal
collection of current. The capacitance and resistance of the ground
terminal to earth is minimized to promote on demand current
sourcing. Drawing 2 illustrates an exemplary apparatus of the
present invention that optimizes ground connection quality by
maximizing the penetration extent and resulting surface area of the
ground terminal's extension into the soil.
[0024] Step-down transformers (28) are scaled to transform the
electrical current and voltage into structured and conditioned
electricity that is compatible with the electric power needs of the
load sources for various embodiments of the present invention.
[0025] A mechanical nut (40) solidly attached to shaft 44 to
facilitate extension, when turned, of large gauge copper wire
extrusions (46).
[0026] A downward pointed anchor flat shaft (42) attached to the
bezel 50 via a T-slot in bezel.
[0027] A copper (or other highly-conductive metal) spool base (44)
sourcing "X" independently attached large gauge pointed copper
wires (46) of length "Y", where "X" is equal to the number of
escape portals in bezel (50), and "Y" is the length determined to
yield optimum surface area of wires of type 46 for high quality
connectivity to soil. The spool can freely rotate inside the bezel
(48) and emulates the primary root structure of a living tree.
[0028] Sharpened large gauge (reinforced) copper wires (46),
quantity "X", of length "Y" emulating the root structure of living
trees.
[0029] Threaded bezel (spool-housing sleeve) (48) with drilled
escape portal holes with end of copper wires (46) protruding
through holes 1/2 inch.
[0030] Bezel anchor slots (50) of twice the height of anchor flat
shafts (42) and T-slotted to accommodate anchor flat shafts.
[0031] Extended pointed end (52) of inner spool base shaft.
[0032] Escape portals (54) in bezel to allow for large gauge copper
wire (46) extension into soil.
[0033] Connector port (56) for connection to ground terminal (14)
in Drawing 1.
[0034] Bezel threads (58).
