Lowering or raising the frequency of 500,000 cps resulted in diminishing the amount of power received on the 18-foot antenna. Likewise, the raising of the trans- mission antenna resulted in a proportionate decrease of power picked up on the receiv- ing antenna and, at six feet above the earth, no power whatever was obtainable without a change of potential and frequency. It is the objective of my generic inven- tion to utilize the power generated by the earth by means herein described and illus- trated in the drawings.
