"Fencing in Electricity: Harvesting Power from High-Voltage Transmission Lines"

A YouTube channel, Double M Innovations, conducted an experiment to harvest electricity from high-voltage transmission lines using regular fences, using a capacitor, full bridge rectifier, and coax cable. The results showed the capacitor charging up to 1000 V before the experiment was stopped, indicating the potential to collect significant power from a few kilometers of fencing wire underneath such lines. However, the legal implications of storing the power inductively coupled on fence wire should be discussed with local energy companies.
