Natural Rhythms
Posted on Thursday, April 4th, 2024
Project Summary:
Did you know that there is an electrical current present in the atmosphere? From the ionosphere to the surface of the Earth, you can harness about 250 kilovolts of energy. With this immense potential, we can potentially use this as a source of power.

Project Description:
The Natural Rhythms project aims to prove that we can harness the energy from Earth and convert it into electricity. Knowing that there is a voltage potential present in the atmosphere, why hasn’t anyone thought of using this voltage to power up a house?
We consume a lot of electricity and climate change is a problem. Limiting ourselves to use sustainable power can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, that contribute to global warming.
