Claims: Radiant_One_Youtube
Source gap: the project holds one image only, a schematic screenshot (Earth-energy-extra-schematic.png) from the YouTube channel radiant_one. There is no video, transcript, measurements, text explanation or author identity. OCR was partial and garbled; component values below were read from the image itself [read: page image p.1]. To assess the claims, obtain the video(s) of the channel (the circuit "GndNrgEx 1.1"), any build notes, and recorded input/output power measurements. Any conclusion on the claims beyond circuit analysis rests on [memory] or the title alone.
Central claims (implied by the schematic's title and notes; the author states no claim text):
- A circuit named "Ground Energy Extraction" can draw usable electrical energy from the earth through an earth rod.
- A MPSA06 transistor RF oscillator (L1 8.6 uH, Lb 1.4 uH, C1 470 pF, 1 Meg bias, 11-13 V supply) coupled by L2 (26.7 uH) can drive an earth-rod-connected load of two 26-LED series strings, with two 1N4148 diodes in parallel (same direction, anode at L2, cathode at the earth rod) across the whole group.
- The supply current drawn with the earth rod connected can be tuned (by moving an alligator clip near L2) to equal the current drawn without it ("unearthed" = "earthed"), which the author presents as the tuned operating condition.
- The circuit produces enough RF that standard meters and oscilloscopes can be damaged or read incorrectly, so ordinary measurements may be unreliable.
- Author's reported figures (second-hand, from YouTube descriptions/transcripts via the Investigator; no video watched): 30 mA supply current (GndNrgEx_3, 2015, supply type unstated) and "each led is only drawing 4mW from a battery" (GndNrgEx_9, 2016). The 4 mW is most naturally battery input per LED (about 208 mW total, about 17 mA at 12 V) but may be measured LED output; no LED output measurement is confirmed, and the two figures are from different videos.
