I built a progressive guide for harvesting atmospheric electricity — from $0 proof of concept to community power network. CC0, no rights reserved.
I spent an afternoon going down a rabbit hole from "how do you make water" all the way to Tesla's global electric circuit. What I found is that the technology to tap ambient atmospheric electricity is real, reproducible, and buildable by anyone.
So I documented everything as an open source build guide. Five stages:
- Stage 1: $0, scrap wire + multimeter, prove the voltage exists today
- Stage 2: ~$15, bridge rectifier + capacitors, rectify and store it
- Stage 3: ~$40, Cockcroft-Walton ladder, charge a battery from the atmosphere
- Stage 4: ~$150, LC circuit tuned to 7.83Hz Schumann resonance, Tesla's actual method
- Stage 5: ~$100/house shared, community cooperative node, neighborhood scale
The Schumann resonances are real and detectable by anyone with a $25 RTL-SDR dongle. The atmospheric voltage differential is real and measurable with a multimeter and scrap wire. None of this is theoretical.

I'm not an engineer. Smarter people should take this further. That's why I'm giving it away completely.
