I read a story by an "old timer" radio buff. He mention that the neighbors sons not having much as far as resources had a radio set that ran off of a battery. They took a discarded cable from a nearby radio station and strung it out. Attached one end to a high place like a tall pole, and attache the other end to a spark plug. The opposite end of the plug was attached to the + of the dead battery and the ground on the battery was grounded.
Over a period of a few days a dead battery would be charged. And they would listen to the radio again. wash and repeat.
The cable they used probably was coax of some sort acting like a capacitor which would discharge across the spark plug gap into the battery..
I guess it would work... how that connects to yagi's I don't know. Other than being an antenna.
I drew a obscure if anything parallel between the poles of a yagi antenna and the plates of a electrolysizer.
The yagi antenna uses spaced radiators or different lengths to cause a resonance.

but only one of the radiators is actually connected to a circuit. The longest on the end acts as a reflector for the "real" radiator next to it. The others resonate the rf or em.
Also.... in watching the java applets at mit about how dipoles radiate.

the radiation pattern has a nice pulse and contraction pattern. Kinda looks like push pull.
Thought this would provoke some interesting possibilities or thoughts. I think it's pretty cool the way resonance, frequency, energy and all the other spagetti noodles all lay on top of each other.
