Capacitors again and Tesla.

Hi all,
Thanks for your replies regarding my self charging cap question. I'm going
to keep taking a voltage reading
daily until they stop charging.
My reason for the capacitors is a circuit involving Tesla's radiant energy
collector. ( although seeing these
self charge is worth looking into also ) See radnrg.asc and radnrg.gif on
Keelynet.
I built a voltage doubler once, where I was able to charge a 450V cap from
a "D" cell using a vibrating relay
contact and a couple of diodes. What I had in mind was something similar
except lower voltage caps, and
replacing the battery with some type of collector. The Tesla collector is
very simple, I was thinking of tin foil
laminated to plywood and sprayed with clear Krylon. If there is enough
voltage present to overcome the
voltage drop in a diode fine, if not it looks like Tesla connected his
collector directly to the capacitor. On the
output side I was thinking of the capacitors as temporary storage feeding a
voltage regulator, LM340T-___
to charge a battery.
Has anyone experimented with this Tesla circuit?
Any thoughts?

Thanks again
Jim
