Hey guys, I need to make an extremely powerful antenna that will pick up RF in the air or just to get ambient electricty.

In summary, the conversation discusses the need to create a powerful antenna that can pick up RF and ambient electricity. There is some uncertainty about where to start and how to achieve this goal. The suggestion is made to begin with a strong foundation and research energy harvesting antennas. Another potential idea is to build a field mill as a science fair project.

It might be a bit unclear from the picture regarding where to start, but usually with these things it's best to begin with the foundation. I'm not an expert on how to mix concrete but this might be a good start: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concretetommycaiden said:

In other words - the question is a little open-ended.
"RF" is a very broad range and "pick up ambient electricity" is a bit vague.
What do you hope to achieve?

Looks like tommy wants to put up a big AM radio antenna in his back yard and power his house --

I suggest Tomy learn something about the electric field of the earth.

What is a "Really Powerful Antenna"?
A "Really Powerful Antenna" is a type of antenna that is designed to have a high gain and a long range. It is typically used for long-distance communication and can receive and transmit signals at a greater distance than standard antennas.
How does a "Really Powerful Antenna" work?
The exact mechanism of how a "Really Powerful Antenna" works may vary depending on the specific design, but in general, it uses a combination of elements such as reflectors, directors, and driven elements to focus and amplify the incoming and outgoing signals.
What are the benefits of using a "Really Powerful Antenna"?
Using a "Really Powerful Antenna" can provide a number of benefits, including improved signal strength and range, increased signal clarity, and better performance in challenging environments. It can also help reduce interference from other devices and improve the overall reliability of communication.
What are some common applications of "Really Powerful Antennas"?
"Really Powerful Antennas" are commonly used in long-distance communication applications such as satellite communication, remote sensing, and military communication. They are also used in radio astronomy, wireless internet, and other applications where a strong and reliable signal is necessary.
Are there any limitations to using a "Really Powerful Antenna"?
While "Really Powerful Antennas" offer many benefits, they may also have some limitations. For example, they can be more complex and expensive than standard antennas, and they may require a larger physical space for installation. Additionally, some "Really Powerful Antennas" may be limited in their frequency range and may not be suitable for all types of communication.
