The growing shortage of energy resources and the increase in their cost make scientists look for alternative sources of electricity. One of the most promising and little-studied energy sources is atmospheric electricity. The problem of generating electricity from the air with your own hands worries not only scientists, but also ordinary people who are trying to find a cheap way to extract energy. Observing the impressive consequences of thunderstorms, people ask themselves the question: how to learn how to get and control atmospheric electricity with their own hands? Consider the processes occurring during the release of atmospheric electricity, and methods of generating electricity from the air at home.
What is atmospheric electricity
The genius Nikola Tesla was the first to seriously tackle the problem. Tesla believed that the source of the appearance of free electrical energy was the energy of the Sun. The device he created received electricity from air and earth. Tesla planned to develop a method for transmitting the received energy over long distances. The patent for the invention described the proposed device as using radiation energy.
Tesla's device was revolutionary for its time, but the amount of electricity he received was small, and it was wrong to consider atmospheric electricity as an alternative source of energy. More recently, inventor Stephen Mark patented a device that produces electricity in large quantities. Its toroidal generator can supply electricity for incandescent bulbs and more sophisticated appliances. It works for a long time without requiring an external feed. The operation of this device is based on resonant frequencies, magnetic vortices and current shocks in the metal.
Pictured is a working sample of Stephen Mark's toroidal generator.

The experiments of Nikola Tesla showed that it is possible to obtain electricity from the air with your own hands without much difficulty. In our time, when the atmosphere is permeated with various energy fields, this task has become easier. Everything that produces radiation (TV and radio towers, power lines, etc.) creates energy fields.
The principle of obtaining electricity from air is very simple: a plate of metal rises above the ground, which acts as an antenna. Static electricity arises between the ground and the plate, which accumulates over time. Electrical discharges occur at regular intervals. In this way, atmospheric electricity is generated and then used.

This scheme is quite simple - only a metal antenna and ground are required to generate. The potential that is established between the conductors accumulates over time, although its strength cannot be calculated. Upon reaching a certain maximum potential value, a current discharge occurs, similar to a lightning.
Advantages
- Simplicity. The principle can be easily tested at home;
- Availability. No devices or complex devices are needed - a conductive plate is enough.
disadvantages
- Inability to calculate the current strength, which can be dangerous;
- Lightning is attracted to the open ground loop formed during operation. A lightning strike can reach 2000 volts, which is very dangerous. That is why the method has not become widespread.
Where atmospheric electricity is already used
Nevertheless, there are examples of the use of devices operating according to the described principle - the Chizhevsky chandelier ionizer has been on sale for several decades and has been successfully operating.
Another working scheme for generating electricity from air is Stephen Mark's TPU generator. The device allows you to get electricity without external feed. This scheme has been tested by many scientists, but has not yet found wide application due to its peculiarities. The principle of operation of this circuit is to create resonance of currents and magnetic vortices, which contribute to the occurrence of current shocks.
The Kapanadze generator is currently being tested in Georgia. This power source also works without external feed and extracts electricity from the air without additional resources.
In the photo, the Kapanadze generator is ready to work.
conclusions
New methods of obtaining cheap energy cause concern among many scientists due to interference in the processes of the atmosphere and ionosphere. Their influence on the origin and course of life on Earth has been poorly studied, so the impact can adversely affect the state of the planet.
But personally, I believe that the technology of atmospheric electricity is deliberately slowed down. Moreover, there is a fact of large-scale use of electricity from the air before 1917. In the video below, you can see for yourself the existence of electricity even in the 17th century.
