Below is a proposed high voltage experiment.
It appears there might be an unknown source of energy that flows between opposite electric charges, along the electric lines if you will. Read Unknown Energy on some correlations.
Within the diode & piezo exists an intense electric field, but the problem with these components is the resistance is extremely high, in the giga ohms. There are low resistance diodes, but the internal electric field at the junction is low in such diodes.
The Design
One obvious solution is to create an electric field by polarizing two metal plates, and use materials with low resistance, such as Graphite to produce high currents –>

The high voltage goes on the metal foil (purple), where the negative polarity goes on one metal foil, and the positive on the other metal foil. The metal foil should be completely surrounded by plastic or any non-conductive high voltage material. The above photo does not show the metal foil completely encased so as to show it. You could place a coat of silicon paste to completely seal the metal foil. These metal foil can be Aluminum foil. Inner metal foil is across the graphite plate, where two output wires come out. All metal foil can be Aluminum foil.
Experimental Results
Months ago I’ve been secretly running the above experiment, but a very cheap version due to lack of money. Hopefully someone will have more money to do a better version.
In my version, the voltage was only 1300 volts. I used a bunch of diodes and capacitors to build a voltage ladder, and ran 120 VAC (~ 170 Vpp) across the ladder. I did not have enough graphite required for this experiment for the inner solid graphite plate, so I used distilled water instead. The obvious problem with water is dealing with electrochemical reactions. Therefore, instead of metal foil, I bought a bunch of inexpensive small graphite rods from lead pencils and formed a thin solid graphite wall. The electrochemical reactions between distilled water and graphite is extremely low, and should not interfere with the results, but since there will be some residue on the parts from finger prints, etc. you will need to let everything sit & settle down for about one week. During this week most of the electrochemical reactions between the residue on the rods and water should be extinguished, or at least that’s how long it took in my experiment. So, during this week there should NO voltage on the outer metal foil. When the voltage across the output drops to lower than what you can measure, then you can apply the high voltage on the outer metal foil.
So, after waiting ~ a week, the output voltage was extremely low, and the 1300 volts was applied to the outer metal foil. The DC voltage did not change immediately, but slowly over time in began to gradually increase. It went to ~ 30 mV, and from there it began to slowly decline. That is, slowly, as in months. This peak, followed by a slow decline has been seen in diode & piezo experiments.
Since I’m using distilled water, which has high electrical resistance, I had to use a high resistance load of 10 Mohms. Yesterday the current was 0.1 mV DC, which comes to 10 pA! There’s that magical 10 pA again, but I don’t think it has settled down yet because the day before it was ~ 5 mV (50 times higher). So far it has been oscillating up & down, but with a gradual slow decline. So over the next few days it will most likely bounce up again to a few milli volts. Hopefully … it will settle at ~ 10 pA. If it does, then I’ll be celebrating, as that will show the same behavior as diodes & piezos. I don’t know why yet, but so far every diode & piezo I’ve tested while loaded has always settled at ~ 10 pA. Dozens of different meters have been used, and various methods. For example, a diode connected to just one thing, a low leakage 1.0 uF capacitor (discharged), both placed inside a thick metal shield for ~ 10 hours, opened metal shield and the measured voltage across the capacitor was 0.353 volts, which comes to ~ 10 pA.
In my cheap version, the distilled water container is ~ 1 cm thick, and ~ 5 cm x 5 cm wide. On the outside of each plastic container (1 x 5 x 5 cm) is a large plastic plate, about 13 cm by 13 cm wide, and one or two millimeters thick. On the outside of that is the thin Aluminum foil, about 5 cm x 5 cm wide.
Usable amounts of Power
So far experimental data has shown that the current produced by diodes & piezos is high initially, but settles down to 10 pA. Once you let the component rest inside shielding for awhile, it’s capable of producing higher current again for awhile. Therefore perhaps it’s best the never allow it to reach the 1o pA level. Instead of leaving the load on all the top, load the device for awhile, remove the load, apply load, remove load, etc.
Guaranteed to work
Getting the DC current & voltage on the output is extremely easily. No tinkering around is required. Although I have not confirmed if this voltage & current is due to any ion leakage from the high voltage. I do not think so because of how extraordinarily slow the rise in voltage occurs, and because the voltage on the output foil gradually decreases over time.
So it’s guaranteed to work; i.e., produce current & voltage. The question is, what’s causing it.
