Abstract
Introduction
cycles and that the propagation occurs with very little loss or
attenuation. The electromagnetic techniques to be used to transmit
power in the Schumann Cavity are similar to microwave signal
generation in a magnetron cavity and propagation in a waveguide. The
latter technology is very well known and is used in microwave ovens,
radar, and communication systems.
Assessment of Need
A great concern has been voiced in recent years over the extensive
use of energy, the limited supply of resources, and the pollution of
the environment from the use of present energy conversion systems.
Electrical power accounts for much of the energy consumed. Much of
this power is wasted during transmission from power plant generators
to the consumer. The resistance of the wire used in the electrical
grid distribution system causes a loss of 26-30% of the energy
generated. This loss implies that our present system of electrical
distribution is only 70-74% efficient.
There are areas of the world where the need for electrical power
exists, yet there is no method for delivering power. Africa is in
need of power to run pumps to tap into the vast resources of water
under the Sahara Desert. Rural areas, such as those in China,
require the electrical power necessary to bring them into the 20th
century and to equal standing with western nations.
Project Objectives
Methods
The propagated wave front will be reflected from the antipode and
reflected to the transmitter site. The reflected wave will be
reinforced and again radiated when it returns to the transmitter. As
a result, an oscillation will be established and maintained in the
Schumann Cavity. The loss of power in the cavity has been estimated
to be about 6% per round trip. If the same amount of power is put
into the cavity on each cycle of oscillation of the transmitter,
there will be a net energy gain which will result in a net voltage,
or amplitude increase. This will result in reactive energy storage
in the cavity. As long as energy is delivered to the cavity, the
process will continue until the energy is removed by heating,
lightning discharges, or as is proposed by this project, loading by
tuned circuits at distant locations for power distribution.

to this excitation at 7.8 Hz will be on the order of 46 picoteslas.
