Indeed it does. Hi Terry, for another opinion Stephen could have a look at the controversy you and I had about this some time ago, I had found what looked very much like a large error in input current measurement by analysing the Mosfet's voltage waveform and applying Ohm's low to it knowing

This made me wonder how much electrical energy would be thus stored in this Earth-atmosphere capacitor: C*V^2/2=q*V/2 = (28 440 * 300 000) / 2 = 4 266 000 000 = 4.3*10^9 J This is two orders of magnitude less than the 4.3*10^11 J order of magnitude estimate at page 20 of this physics lecture

There are loads of radio sources more powerful than the cosmic background out there, and the cosmic background is ubiquitous as you said so you wouldn't expect a daily variation. As discussed here several times before, extracting electrical energy from radio waves to power an electrical device

It's OK Robin, it happens to me all the time :) Your other point is valid though, we don't know how long it takes the Sun to charge this capacitor. But it's unlikely it charges it in one two millionth of a day = 43 ms, which would be required for it to provide the world's daily energy
