In other words, it has an extremely high input resistance, many megohms. My old Heathkit V-7A VTVM had 10M ohm and would hit the stops if I ran a comb through my hair and waved it near the voltage probe. So if the voltmeter in the demo has an input resistance of 10 M ohms (it may be much higher), the capacitor is putting out about 1 nanoamp at 10 millivolt, which is ten trillionths of a watt (10^-11). This is the second video in a pair. Clicking on the "more from this user" link brings a list with the first one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iGEsVaIftk One of the comments to it says: "I have a NEC memory cap 5.5V 0.047F and it gives about 16mV all the time without any magnets. Even after a long time of shorting it builds the 16mV in 2 minutes. It is a chemical reaction in the cap because it is ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITOR!!!" Controlled experiments by a non-believer in "scalar waves" would have to be done on this system to prove that the extremely tiny current was the result of anything but, again, an electrolytic cell, a battery, this one much weaker than the sweaty-palm unit. For real power you can stick a zinc and a copper strip into a lemon. A few of those in series should be able to operate an efficient transistor radio with earphones. Then there's the former pride of England, the Royal Battery of Sir Humphry Davy and Michael Faraday. Comprised of two hundred zinc and copper disks with (IIRC) salt water soaked blotter paper in between, it could give one quite a jolt. Great fun at parties for the nobility. Mark
