Should be well, well, well over 35V (into the hundreds, or thousands, I would think, depending on the height vs. energy relationship. Speaking of which, does anyone know what it is? Can a shorter height be made up for with a larger surface area, or is there no difference in sirface area (there should be one, if only a small one). A larger "electrode" means more power gathered over a certain period of time, compared to a small one. Too bad not many people have done experiments with this, there are no concrete details about it, to my knowledge. If someone can prove me wrong, I would be delighted, but I haven't seen anything.
I'll look up which devices have high current germanium diodes in them. There's an electronics specialty shop near here that might be able to help (for example, get a large number of them, small or not). Crystal radios are rare around here (as far as I know), so maybe the shop can order in, or has parts for them. *drools over 100 diodes linked in parallel* Or maybe more than that, or less, depending on the price. A few volts should be more than enough, but more is better.
Too bad that there's such disbelief at things like this, yet people complain about energy prices, without knowing a thing about it. Just because it's different from the usual technology, and different from what they've been told is feasable, it's impossible. What do they want, improvement and progress through ignorance? There are better ways to get power than burning things, yet some people simply can't get past it. That, and that new things that challenge the "fat cats' " view of things, and their businesses, are shot down as impractical, useless, or utter frauds or lies. It'll take time to accept anything nearing this, we're in a big, deep hole here we have to get out of. I hope I live to see that happen (though, at this rate, I doubt it, as young as I am). Without such opposition we'd all the driving hydrogen cars, getting free energy, and doing just about anything else that uses technology or ideas being oppressed right now. It's sad that something as simple (and frankly, stupid, seeing how much power it has) as money can keep all of humanity (well, almost) from advancing, or changing. Bah.

never heard of hi current germanium diodes before, only the weeny ones for battery less AM
jeepers, 1850ft that s a biggun! fair sizzle comin off that one I bet! plus would have had a massive power rating for a tower that height?

In know, I know, we can't have any large free energy radios powering themselves, that would be unthinkable. I think this is why the only germanium devices still being made are those tiny current germanium diodes for crystal radio kits. It would take a lot of them in parallel to get any appreciable current.
I still have some high powered germanium power transistors that I pulled out of the DC to DC converter HV circuits of vintage hybrid Motorola mobile 2 way radios. Most of those old radios went to the recyclers and landfills long ago. They are very rare nowadays.
