Free Energy experiment, help wanted

[FTJR]

About a month ago I was surfing online and found this video
http://www.nikolateslasecret.com/index.php

So as I have a passing interest in this stuff, I decided I'd try myself. My knowledge of electricity is I know if I flip the switch, light generally happens or not. So I went out and bought all the stuff and did my best to follow the instructions. I completed the circuit about two weeks ago and haven't been able to get it to work. Then today I decided to try again and lo and behold it started to work, I had to rush and grab the camera, of course the battery was close to flat. Anyway it worked, the video is probably 30 seconds too long, but I wanted to capture the settings. After I stopped filming it climbed to 5 on the meter and then started winding down, eventually to zero, over about 10 mins.

So yes it worked, but not for long, and im curious does anyone have any ideas as to why it worked, and why it can not be replicated. I notice from the film the aerial looks like its attached to the metal stay, while that was original attention, it proved to be unnecessary. Any ideas guys?

Regards

If I saw correctly you had some capacitors in the circuit. If you let the system sit long enough the wires can pick stray inducted current which slowly charges the capacitor. When you plug in the multimeter it slowly drains the capacitors untill they're empty again like at the start of the experiment

If you want to produce this experiment in larger scale you can even power your whole house with it. Just dig a loop of some 100 yards of copper cable under the nearest high voltage powerline and voila, free energy for life! Don't get caught doing so though unless you want to meet Bubba from the jail section B.

Arh.. so its the capacitors, so thats the trick. Thanks Mr Ripley

 If those clips came with the multi tester you can plug the leads on your multi tester into the clips.

What is the reading on the multi tester with no caps in the circuit?
