You should be able to discharge the capacitors, displaying quite an arc, so the
current level is high. The key to this circuit is the full wave bridge and not to
large capacitors.

No, you don't get very high current, which is why the only practical use is for some
nice sparks and arcs. You discharge your caps very quickly. You could maybe run an
LED light or two, maybe...

This can run those LCD clocks, small calculators, portable raidos.
Get rid of those millions of polluting AA batteries.


Of course, the hundreds of feet of aerial make them not very portable anymore... ;-)

It could work with smaller Ferrite core based antennas.
