I left my phone on video record and captured this. Hmmm

the work of everyone here helps me im new here and trying to find good first project
I always liked this video - glad you found it and revived the thread. What are you thinking of making for your first project?
Welcome Jiim! Please share your project with us as you build it.
i would like to make a fully atonomous drone that charges off the em field around existing ac power lines on telephone poles
That's a interesting idea. Can you get strong enough EM fields from the ground to do this? Depending on the voltage, weather and other conditions EM fields start dissipating just a few feet from the power lines.
I think I saw on YouTube where a guy used a very tall copper pole that collected enough voltage from the natural sky, to recharge his cell phone battery. The higher the pole the more power can be collected.
the drone could fly witrhin a couple feet of the field it could fly from new york to california on the grid without having to recharge
maybe it could be modified to power robotics from the power wiring around it in the walls and floors and ceiling eliminating the need for them to recharge
