US Patent:

20190348842, Nov 14, 2019

Filed:

Jul 25, 2019

Appl. No.:

16/521764

Inventors:

- Alpharetta GA, US
Terry L. Wright - Suwanee GA, US
David R. Ames - Johns Creek GA, US

International Classification:

H02J 4/00

Abstract:

A resonant transformer connected between a ground terminal and elevated terminal draws current from the earth's electric field through a primary winding of the transformer. An impulse generator applies a high voltage impulse to the primary winding of the resonant transformer to cause current to flow from the ground terminal through the primary winding. The flow of current through the primary winding of the resonant transformer induces a current in the secondary winding, which may be converted and filtered to a usable form, e.g. 60 Hz AC or DC.
