Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

[timmy1729]

I am wanting to get a multi-meter for xmas. What would you recommend? I am no electrical engineer. I simply have started to mess with Earth batteries and other free energy ideas. I just need something for that. Cheap would be wonderful! 

TIA for any help

Hey Timmy,

Harbor Freight has some cheap ones that work okay.
Here's a link:

Timmy:

I got one of mine at K-mart but it is a craftsman (Sears) meter and it is pretty good.  I paid like $29.00 (US)

Above is a link to a great site and, specifically on this page is a meter for $10.00.  It should get you started.

I also have an Omega meter (digital) that is very expensive. (over $200.00) that I got from my late father.  I have 2 analog meters as well.

If I were you, I would try the $10.00 meter.  I am sure it is probably as good as my meter from craftsman. All digital meters have their limitations but we are not building a Spacecraft here, so I think it will be great for your tests.

@ all,
Sorry I haven't been here for a while, I have been over at bills juel thief site he setup learning about how to drive fluro tubes on a single 1.5v battery. Amazing stuff there, one chapp was driving a 20watt tube, I delved into bifilier torid coils. Learnt a lot.

I ducked there to see if I could pickup anything that could be used on the Nathan Stubblefield site, as we have so very low voltages and currents.

@ timmy1729
In relation to your copper wire, I noticed no-one has answered, should you remove the insulation? answer, "yes" strip it off then see how much you can get berried in the ground, see how it goes.
A meter, well it might be time to take a trip to a radio-TV repairmans place, don't ring up, just front up, ask to see him, tell him what you are doing and ask him if he has a redundant multimeter, a old ANALOG one would do for starters. If he says no, at least you tried.

@ Nightshade
hows you going with the experiments?

I must confess to a booboo, I said in about 4 posts ago that green LED lights up before a RED one, opps, the RED LED lights up before a green one, so use the RED LED as it will glow before a green LED.

@ Ram
I got my frequency meter at long last, but to be truthful, dont know how to use it properly, so I will read up the booklet and get stuck in it and get some results posted. Had to get another miniture multimeter also last weekend, I put 240v AC throught the DC side, (I forgot to move the switch), it didn't smoke, just smelled slightly hmmmmm Ha Ha.


@ bill
I been taking a look at some of the stuff Ironhead has been doing, got to the end of his forum posts and they end, do you know where he is posting from now? He and others were getting amazing results with HHO.

@ to all who read these posts, Happy Christmas

@ Jim:

Thanks for the mention of the Joule Thief topic.  Tonight, I just lit up a 40 watt 48" long tube with just a single AA battery!!!!  I posted some pics on that topic, check them out when you get a chance.  Merry Christmas.
