Sorry, to be more specific, you can't go from a lower state of energy to a higher state of energy without adding energy. The energy to do that has to come from somewhere. Simplest example is a rock at the bottom of a hill can't get to the top of the hill without energy being added to it. Once at the top of the hill, it can discharge its energy by rolling back to the bottom. Likewise with electricity in the air. It is there, but it is all dispersed already. In other for it to become flowing current, you need to have it flow from a point of higher concentration of electrons to a point of lower concentration of electrons. Since all the electrons are equally dispersed, the only way to do that is to bunch up all the electrons into some space that will end up with a higher concentration of them than the surrounding space. That needs energy, either used to create static friction, a magnetic field that pulls them all together. It's kind of like being under water in a lake and trying to get water to flow through a pipe. Sure, there is water all around you, and your pipe will be full of it too, but unless you use some energy to push the water through your pipe, all that water is useless for doing work.

BTW in case you didn't know they have these mesh things that look like boat sails But you put it on your desert home and it collects water from the air

No, that is how they work It's not creating energy from nothing so it does not break the law of "energy can not be created or destroyed" Tesla discovered that there is untapped energy in the air all around us

And just like drawing water from the air If you use the right materials it can be extremely effective

I wouldn't bother with him. He's kind of a long-winded, big-headed, self-important troll 

They, uh, don't, actually. They either get current from a wire, or from energy input from friction. Getting current from air is about as effective as getting moisture from air by just hanging up a rubber hose and expecting it to fill up with water.
That whole "energy can not be created or destroyed" is a pretty solid law.

I have idea for how to eliminate power vacuum problem, but I wish to know yours to compare. What is your idea?
Sorry, I can not read your links and very long posts, because I have no time for to be reading 20 pages posts, and it is difficult to read long paragraphs in english. Can you describe briefly?

No If you look into Tesla coils they draw the current right out of the air There is untapped electricity all around us  Tesla understood electricity more like water than circuitry With pressure and such

But this is an immigrant you can legally build in your garage like a car To understand exactly what I am suggesting you can not look at any current model alone You must look at an industry like automobiles and apply it to workers

Anyone can become the boss The only singular structure that is even comparable is slavery But slavery involves an entire other human being and their consciousness So is not completely comparable Also the fact that slaves can't be made unless you raise babies into that lifestyle

I agree with some of what you wrote, but the quoted sentence is incorrect.

We don't have the ideal of free market capitalism due to the power vacuum of the collective aka. democracy. Instead we have adopted all planks of the Communist Manifesto and ramped up debt to 200 year highs.

It would be an unachievable ideal if I didn't have a proposal for how to eliminate the power vacuum.

Thus people don't have the correct education because they were incentivized by debt to do otherwise. So they can't adjust to the new technological opportunities such as creating the designs for 3d printings in this new coming virtual manufacturing economy.

Read the following thread (from the linked post forward to the end) for the explanations of all above:

Um, that's transmission, not generation. We'll still need resources and money to generate the current that goes into the Tesla coil, won't we?

Immigrants, contrary to robots, buy goods and services and provide demand (employment for local population).

As particular firms compete to drive down their costs (espcially of labour) by roboticizing there will be fewer and fewer workers earning wages to buy the stuff that is made. Firms will be competing to push down wages and create less workers for the individual firms, but systematically they will be destroying demand for all the goods of all the firms. If there is one rich person for every poor person, that rich person will never buy the volumes of middle class goods that 99 workers would've bought, like couches, basic cars, food, etc. So as wages become more and more inequal between the few workers who are still needed (with low wages because of high competition and supply of workers), industry produces less of teh stuff we need, and those prices rise, while more and more investment competes in the production of luxury goods. This basic dynamic is why, despite the green revolution in agriculture of the 1970s, where we hugely increased food production globally, 1/7th of the world still starves today like it did before the green revolution.  In capitalism the ratio of monetary distribution remains stagnant. Stagnant to a certain ratio of workers needed to produce to sell to other workers, so it remains unprofitable to distribute even the surplus food, which rots or is dumped to destroy less efficient producers (also destroying less developed economies' agriculture).

Free market capitalism is a ridiculous concept, even Hayek agreed that markets tend towards monopoly and oligopoly... We know only 35 firms/share holders control the majority of industry the world over. Look at bitcoin, it's already %85 controlled by just a handful of parties, and it's a totally new, "free market". Traditionally, "libertarians" held that the state was needed to break up monopolies, which is circular because, of course, the oligopolies and monopolies become the state and vice versa.

Any monopoly holder in the economy, without a state in existence would form a private army to enforce his claim to his monopoly despite people starving and children dying from poverty. The operation and management of that private army would quickly be the bureaucracy that could extract tribute, extortion, (taxes). Force isn't just weapons, it's the protocol and especially the communications of the protocol for tactical strategy and initiative in deploying units. Force is also the maintenance of your units in the long down time between deployments of force.

In capitalism where wealth accrues to wealth (when you have large reserves of money to invest you can make more money), we have inheritance, and well over %90 of the wealthy are rich through inheritance. That is just a fact, it seems like we only hear about all the "self-made" wealthy because no one touts the fact that they're rich only because of the birth lottery.

Everyone is sticking to communism as centrally coordinated by a state, where we're all here because of peer-to-peer technology! Economic planning within a community of relative equals isn't possible because of the internet?!! THINK for a second! MY GOSH!

An MIT physicist and economist has devised the first complete METHODOLOGY/PROTOCOL for de-centralized economics. It's called Participatory Economics and his name is Michael Albert. Study it, it is really the only economic methodology probably ever created.

At this point America will be America again and we will not need frivolous things like R&D
People will just come up with things because they need them Not because they have the money to make it or buy one from someone

This is just like the imaginary paradox of illegal immigrants

Everyone think that they are taking your jobs When in reality if we all gave our kids $100 to hire some Mexicans one summer "Citizen" would one day be synonymous with "Employer"

Now that Cheetah bots are owned by Google and Amazon is making drones we are going to start seeing some even cooler affordable stuff soon

It's just like cars

Because you can drive it doesn't make it where large scale shipments disappeared Robots like cars would just make work easier and better

a Robo-Socialist Republic

The problem is that capitalism creates secrets Because if your customer can find your source or how to do it themselves They can just reproduce it

So eliminate that secrecy factor and everyone can just make their own robots
I have heard of people building their own cars from scratch in the middle of buttfuck nowhere

If robots became as common as cars Cities like Detroit would start pumping them out and schematics would be all over the place

Like ancient Greece It was a Republic type Democracy held up by slaves and during that time there were great artists philosophers and speakers

I know that is what capitalism looks like on paper But it is not what it looks like in America
