So a fellow experimenter named Chuck (who has far more electrical experience and knowledge than I) is also doing some investigation with the Bashar STA. He has not only built a small scale model, but has also started doing measurements through an oscilloscope and is getting working proof of concept results! With a functioning STA, he added a metallic tetrahedron around the STA which seems to improve its ability to receive energy even further.

I find it interesting, not only that he created an internal support structure with a creative split cone, but he also added some removable spikes along the side to guide the wire as it coiled around the support structure.

He hooked up the STA up to an oscilloscope, showing its usage as a transformer

Using a signal generator and an oscope to find the STA’s self-resonance frequency (~1.229 MHz).

Looking at Tesla’s patent #685,957 to receive radiant energy. Adding a solid flat plate antenna to receive cosmic energy. Adding an AC to DC rectifier.

(There’s about enough energy here to power an apartment for a mouse.. which is one of the jokes about Tesla’s patent.)

Works even without Tesla’s plate. Showing the STA receiving energy.

Building a 3-sided (plus 4th side for the bottom) foam/aluminum tetrahedron casing around the STA, and wiring the two together. Some changes in the output waveform are noticed.

Fixing the tetrahedron size. Adding a large resistive load to the output.

Putting aluminum foil on both inside and outside of tetrahedron walls to make them capacitive. More output by connecting walls in paralle rather than in series. Creating shielding with the metallic tetrahedron walls.

This device IS producing power on its own, but not much. It’s only producing power in the picowatt to nanowatt range.
