Penny No. 2 finished and running on excited air.ASF

This show Penny No. 2 finished and running with no battery. The oscillator is being “excited” into operation thru thin air by an a small 1.5 volt electrostatic generator. I show that the amp draw on the generator does not increase when the Penny oscillator is activated into opertation. This experiment was done to perhaps understand how the crystal cells might be working. Why the power output of the dry crystal cell driving Penny No. 1 is fluctuating.
