Electrostatic induction power supply

Claim 1

IN COMBINATION WITH THE HIGH-VOLTAGE TRANSMISSION CONDUCTORS OF AN ALTERNATING CURRENT POWER SYSTEM, WHICH ARE SUSPENDED ON INSULATOR MEANS ATTACHED TO EACH ONE OF A MULTIPLICITY OF SUPPORT MEANS INDIVIDUALLY MAINTAINED AND ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED AT SPACED INTERVALS, SAID INSULATOR MEANS ELECTRICALLY ISOLATING SAID CONDUCTORS FROM SAID ELECTRICAL GROUNDS, CONTINUOUS LENGTHS OF ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE WIRES SUSPENDED ON SAID SUPPORT MEANS AT SAID SPACED INTERVALS BY FURTHER INSULATOR MEANS WHEREBY SAID WIRES ARE ISOLATED FROM SAID ELECTRICAL GROUNDS AND EXTEND ADJACENT TO THE PATH OF THE SAID FIRST MENTIONED CONDUCTORS, AND SUBSTANTIALLY PARALLEL THERETO, A LOAD CIRCUIT COMPRISING TWO PRINCIPAL LEADS AND A PLURALITY OF VOLTAGE MODIFYING AND REGULATING COMPONENTS CONNECTED IN AND BETWEEN SAID LEADS, THE RESPECTIVE TERMINAL SEGMENTS OF SAID LEADS PROVIDING INPUT AND OUTPUT CONNECTIONS FOR SAID LOAD CIRCUIT, ONE OF SAID INPUT CONNECTIONS BEING ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED TO A PREDETERMINED CONTINUOUS PORTION OF SAID ISOLATED CONDUCTIVE WIRES, SAID PLURALITY OF COMPONENTS COMPRISING A TRANSFORMER SUPPLYING FROM ITS SECONDARY A VOLTAGE OUTPUT REDUCED FROM A VOLTAGE SUPPLIED AT SAID ONE INPUT CONNECTION TO SAID LOAD CIRCUIT, VARIABLE RESISTANCE AND CAPACITANCE COMPONENTS HAVING IMPRESSED ACROSS THEM THE SAID REDUCED VOLTAGE OUTPUT, AND AN ADJUSTABLE INDUCTANCE IN A SERIES CONNECTION WITH SAID RESISTANCE AND CAPACITANCE COMPONENTS, SAID OUTPUT CONNECTIONS BEING ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED TO FURTHER CIRCUIT MEANS OPERABLY RESPONSIVE TO AN OUTPUT FROM SAID LOAD CIRCUIT TO ENERGIZE LOW VOLTAGE APPLIANCES, SAID FURTHER CIRCUIT MEANS COMPRISING AN ADDITIONAL PREDETERMINED CONTINUOUS PORTION OF SAID ISOLATED CONDUCTIVE WIRES, AND ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE ELEMENTS CONNECTING SAID LOW VOLTAGE APPLIANCES IN PARALLEL CIRCUITS BETWEEN SAID CONDUCTIVE WIRES OF SAID ADDITIONAL PORTION, ANOTHER OF SAID CONNECTIONS PROVIDED BY SAID LOAD CIRCUIT LEAD SEGMENTS BEING ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED TO SAID ELECTRICAL GROUNDS, AND MEANS OPERATIVELY RESPONSIVE TO A VOLTAGE SURGE ABOVE A PREDETERMINED VOLTAGE IN A CIRCUIT BETWEEN THE SAID ONE INPUT CONNECTION AND THE SAID ANOTHER CONNECTION OF THE SAID LOAD CIRCUIT, TO COMPLETE A DIRECT CIRCUIT FROM SAID PORTION OF ISOLATED CONDUCTIVE WIRES TO SAID ELECTRICAL GROUNDS.
