Hi,

As to harvesting the altitude voltage differential (as a third power
source), I'm not sure how much power is available there. Lots of volts,
but not sure of the capacity. Anybody know?
I'm not sure

Hi,

None the less the voltage they were insulating against is the thing
we're interested in here. I also recall seeing claims that it was the
earth gradient at fault but I didn't think that was considered

I keep hoping there is still serious RD working on the technology to
harvest wind energy from 10,000 - 15,000 feet, where the jet stream
blows faithfully 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and at several times
the ground speed. Yeah, yeah, I know... I

Was it? I thought it was due to the difference in potential of the
earth gradient and the failure was due to insulation breakdown.
