Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

Sweet things are coming together nice.  Ive seen multiple references to ns earth battery being used to run High Frequency ac devices eg the heater and the one im most "secretly" interested in .. the pith ball  3d apparatus depicting movement in a given area.  This guy had a something resembling a wooden table with pith balls hanging inclemently in rows and it some how represented the topo of the land he was on and movement within its confines.. those crazy turn of the century inventors..  Those wild sparks and streamers people claimed were reminiscent of the batteries sure sound like some HF sparks one may see shooting off a tesla coil    Can i help with the relay in any way..?

@Freezer

what were those readings from?

I used a 1.5v d-cell.  Its a nice simple circuit for small power.  I want to mess with it more to see if I can get more out of it.

I'm also interested what your readings from your joule thief on a 1.5v cell?

@ All:

I am going out to attempt the electron pump experiment today.  I could only find a regular 9v battery to use, it is not rechargeable and this might not work.  All of the other batteries I have that are rechargeable are not powerful enough to light my bulb.  I am using a tail light bulb from a car. (12 volt)  I will see what happens.

The input from my original earth battery was about .5v under load just enough to turn on the transistor and the ma dropped to 4ma but that was directly off one copper to pos and one iron wire to neg.  No battery. a half dead double a batt lit about 4 led's for me for a few days untill they got dim. I never saw a voltage change i think it just turns it off and on at a high freq faster than we can see so it looks like its always on..  It was cool for the first part but i think the real earth battery circuit controller whether relay or ss or rotary gap, still needs to be passive and not put power into the leads 5 and six only allow them to make and break.  Great work man! Hopefully i'll be cutting my large circular wood ends later today and trying to secure a long enough length of romex to strip for my copper. Now i just need that sweet insulation from the diy audio store in Australia there.

i made a little earth battery today and my multimeter says .700 dc volts,
but is it actually dc power?

also if i had 5 or so in series would i be able to run a tiny motor?
