Exactly.
It's just like when you put a fluorescent bulb next to a Tesla coil and it lights up. Is that free energy? No, it's just coming from the Tesla coil.
It's a cool little experiment, but it's not free energy, it's just picking up electricity that's already been generated.

Fair play to you man!
You had the balls to go out and test something like this that most of us arm chair experts sit around moaning about!
Is the electricity that comes through the device 'run off' or 'overspill' or would it be like, for arguments sake, plugging in another device. Will more electricity be used thus increasing your bill instead of reducing it?

Fancy posting up the schematic you used?
I feel like playing with a soldering iron for a while...edit on 15-8-2011 by SprocketUK because: I'm a spaz

The receiver needs to be tunable to concentrate what is available better, also some type of regulation like a solar power regulator would be useful, maybe just set it up as a solar system only use the panels instead of solar panels, seems like it would work, you could even do it in a basement , or better yet use a copper coil with ground in the backyard at like 10 feet high and get it from the atmosphere instead of just local power, a transformer would be need to control this and create the difference to ground. I am excited this seem plausible.

This is free energy considering that you aren't paying for it. Doesn't that translate to free ?
Tesla did invent the radio receiver and this device is a basic implementation of a radio without the speaker or earphone.
The primary difference being a common radio uses a tuning or variable capacitor instead of fixed value capacitors as you are using. The two capacitors across your inputs are controlling what frequencies you are tuning into.
A variable capacitor allows you to tune in the entire spectrum of radio frequencies out there and perhaps there are even more powerful ones out there as well....just a thought.
but back to your question...
To place the circuits in parallel, picture your two devices as a battery with a single input and a single output.
You would connect the outputs together by bridging or connecting the plus (+) output terminals together and the (-) minus output terminals together.
These leads could then be connected to the plus & negative terminals of a battery for instance to charge it.
If you bridge the input side, it will only divide the current coming from the single antenna between the two circuits resulting in a loss of power.
Circuit theory says that This would only provide half the power since the impedance/resistance of the two circuits are identical and the input power is constant.
But if you used a separate antenna per circuit, you would conceptually double your output.

You are electromagnetically coupling with some other source of electricity.
Think transformer. Basically you are building a ‘secondary’ side from some source. Most likely it’s you own house. If it is your house the power you get, will be registered on the house meter.
I bought a few of these cheap LED light bulbs on Fleabay a while back. I screwed one in as a hall light. It doesn’t really give much light with the switch on. But what is weird is that even with the switch off it still gives out light. Almost as much as a night light. This happens because the switch contacts are acting as a capacitor allowing a small amount of power to flow. I’m still paying for the power used even when the switch is off.

Can you post the formula for the component values?

Radio signals are not just generated from humans they come from space. Please read my posts above from my perspective the energy is free and this is enough to charge a phone or trickle charge a 12 V car battery which can run a small fridge for several hours.So yes I'll get all excited. I'm not sure how to take your comment as a negative or constructive. As mentioned above I am not suggesting its ***poof*** there. All energy is taken from a system.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can however be converted from one system to another.
What I am trying to work out is the best way to hook these in parallel as I have measured the same out put on my two stand alones side by side. This increases the potential for upping the wattage and output. Early days my friend. Early days.
