I made hundreds of these. Never worked

Hundreds? Really? I can see making two or three before giving up, but to build hundreds..

I never give up. Tried soo many different diodes, but the ‘good’ ones seem very susceptible to clones/fakes since they arent manufactured anymore. There is a company that makes dedicated IC’s that can harvest the emf very efficiently, bit expensive though… and a black box..

Especially if they never worked.
