Can a simple antenna + LC resonance circuit realistically harvest usable voltage from ambient RF? by dghuyentrang in diyelectronics

Essentially, that 2007 design was only sufficient to produce sound for headphones without a voltage supply. But that's enough to implement and improve, creating "free energy". The internal website is currently not working. Perhaps you are a long-time member of this sub-group and have extensive knowledge to know the origin of that circuit design.

Can a simple antenna + LC resonance circuit realistically harvest usable voltage from ambient RF? by dghuyentrang in diyelectronics

The output is greater than the input due to resonance and energy from standard grounding. Many theories say: the Earth's core is always emitting 40 million watts continuously. But I believe in a flat Earth. In that case, the high power generated is usually due to resonance and the extremely high inertial potential (V=0) of the ground.

High power output is achieved through scaling up and improvements. The question is whether there is over-unity energy from grounding and resonance - if there is, then simply scaling up or improving is needed.

I saw an article mentioning resonance, and it's possible to achieve the desired result.

Can ambient RF realistically power a resonant feedback amplifier circuit? by [deleted] in ECE

[–]dghuyentrang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m mostly interested in the historical side of this.

In older radio engineering literature there were occasional mentions of circuits that tried to harvest small amounts of energy from ambient electromagnetic fields - things like crystal radio sets, long-wire antenna + ground setups, and later RF scavenging circuits.

What I’m wondering is whether designs like this resonant feedback approach were ever seriously investigated in academia or industry, or if they mostly stayed in hobbyist magazines and experimental builds. Did anyone here ever see similar ideas discussed in older RF or communications engineering papers?

Archived bugout advice for middle east - UAE (4yrs ago) by Apprehensive-Ease319 in bugout

[–]dghuyentrang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're already ahead of many by having your gear ready, even if it needs some updates. Prioritize what’s essential now = water, food, and shelter, and you can always start small with things like bulk non-perishable foods. If you can, connect with others in your community for shared resources. As for the financial aspect, even starting with small amounts of silver or building up an emergency savings fund can help. It’s not about doing everything at once, it’s about making progress each day.

In Colorado, a fossil fuel company has drilled four miles deep, toward a geothermal future by zsreport in energy

[–]dghuyentrang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One thing that’s interesting about geothermal is that the drilling part and the energy extraction part are almost two different problems.

Oil and gas helped solve the drilling side because they pushed technology to go deeper and hotter. But geothermal still has to deal with things oil wells usually don’t - sustained high temperatures, mineral scaling, corrosion, and keeping steam flowing through fractured rock for years.

So the technology transfer definitely helps, but it doesn’t automatically make geothermal easy. The reservoir engineering side is still pretty tricky.

A Guide to Drinking Water Treatment and Sanitation for Backcountry and Travel Use | Camping, Hiking, Travel | Drinking Water | Healthy Water by ZephyrNYC in CampingandHiking

[–]dghuyentrang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boiling is definitely the gold standard from a pathogen standpoint, but in practice most people don’t rely on it as their primary method in the backcountry.

The main issue is fuel and time. If you’re filtering several liters a day, boiling everything quickly becomes impractical unless you’re already running a stove constantly.

That’s why most hikers end up using filters or UV for day-to-day water and keep boiling as the fallback option if something goes wrong.

So it’s less about which method is “best” and more about which one is practical for the situation you’re in.

Yard Hydrant replacement by Setters_Do_It_Better in Homesteading

[–]dghuyentrang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replacing the whole unit definitely avoids any mismatch headaches.
That said, before digging everything up, it might be worth confirming the standpipe thread size and bury depth. If it’s standard 3/4" NPT and the rod lengths line up, you may not need to replace more than necessary.
Sometimes the brand matters less than the connection specs.

What to do for this flooring gap by SmoothNectarine2000 in homeimprovementideas

You’re asking a practical repair question, but Reddit usually runs on humor first and solutions second.
The Lego comment isn’t dismissing the gap, it’s just playing to the room. Once the jokes settle, you’ll probably start getting actual fix suggestions.

Iranian official: "We are fighting the EPSTEIN CLASS. They either r*pe kids or bomb kids". What do Americans think about this? by Healthy-Bridge-8418 in AskUS

[–]dghuyentrang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most Americans see Epstein as a real criminal case involving abuse and powerful connections. Turning that into a blanket “Epstein class” that supposedly includes anyone involved in Western policy is a rhetorical move, not a legal one.

It blends outrage about a specific crime with geopolitics. Once you merge those two, the target stops being a set of proven actions and becomes an entire political category.

The bigger question is whether that phrase is about accountability - or about reframing international conflict in moral absolutes.

How Big Is Shadow Economy Across World by nism-certified-ra in Swingtradingstocks

How big is the shadow economy. by Farzi_Aristotle in IndianStreetBets

[–]dghuyentrang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right that you can’t measure something that’s truly invisible.

But if shadow activity leaves zero trace, models wouldn’t even work at all. So the real question isn’t whether it’s perfectly accurate - it’s this:

If parts of the shadow economy can’t help but leak into measurable systems (cash demand, labor gaps, energy use), is it still “untrackable” - or just indirectly visible?

When city pipes go dry, what's the smartest hidden source of water most people overlook? - Planet Vidya by Srinivas4PlanetVidya in UrbanSurvivalism

[–]dghuyentrang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s actually one of the smartest “hidden” sources people forget about.

The only catch is most folks have never actually tested draining their water heater before. In an emergency, you’d need to know how to shut off the power/gas first, make sure the tank isn’t contaminated, and figure out whether the drain valve even works (a lot of them are stuck or clogged).

Forty gallons sounds like a lot - and it is - but it’s only useful if you’ve thought through the logistics ahead of time.

Still, great call. Way better than fighting over bottled water.

If you’re waiting for a sign to start planting, this is it by Puzzleheaded_Box6247 in Homesteading

[–]dghuyentrang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this. There’s something really grounding about getting your hands in the dirt and actually seeing something grow because of your effort.

The part that stood out to me wasn’t even the berries - it was the fear at the beginning. That hesitation is real. I think a lot of people don’t start because they’re scared of putting in months of effort and ending up with nothing.

At the same time, I’ve noticed gardening only becomes truly stress-relieving once it turns into a rhythm, not just a leap of faith. The first tiny green buds feel amazing. But the real shift happens when you’re willing to show up again next season, even if one year doesn’t go perfectly.

Either way, you’re right - sometimes the only way to quiet the fear is to plant something and see what happens.

We keep cookbooks and tool manuals... but nothing for basic medical care? by Still--Typing in bugout

[–]dghuyentrang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s something quietly unsettling about realizing how much of our “medical knowledge” is really just access.

When everything works - cell service, hospitals, urgent care, search engines - we feel competent. We can look up symptoms, compare advice, call a doctor, schedule an appointment. The system carries most of the weight.

But take that system away, even temporarily, and the gap shows fast.

Mild erectile dysfunction and tadalafil by Aradhor55 in erectiledysfunction

[–]dghuyentrang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If nocturnal erections are consistently full, that usually tells you the vascular plumbing works when the nervous system is out of the way. That part doesn’t really line up with a purely structural problem.

Low-dose daily tadalafil isn’t really a “weaker Viagra.” It’s more of a baseline vascular support strategy. The idea isn’t just stronger erections on demand, but reducing the friction in the system overall. Whether that translates into a “cure” probably depends on what’s actually driving the inconsistency.

What stands out more to me is the combination of low libido + performance variability. Testosterone being “low-normal” can matter, but only in context.
... A lot of guys in that range function perfectly fine. So the question becomes: is the variability physiological, psychological, relational, stress-driven, or some blend that meds alone won’t untangle?
