Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

I have the property to try this conditioning. Im thinking Zinc powder or a Zinc solution.

Hi Iotayodi,
I am glad you want to do some of this.

I think that the metal content of the ground might make a difference, but it would more likely be the iron content than anything else, since it is a magnetic inductor.
He put those words together, I believe. I posted it a few weeks ago, from his brochure. His own notes told that he wanted to include the magnetic element but the patent office would not allow it.
There was a tone to those notes that makes me believe that the magnetic component was very important to the design, and he was heartily annoyed.

So,

Perhaps if you made a matched pair with welding rods at the center, a coil of copper and mild iron wire (black annealed wire 19gauge at my hardware store) and put the stakes into the ground 30 feet apart, and see what you get as seen through a scope if you bought that one.

Then we would have the opposite corners of the usa covered!
Tishatsang could try it in china and bill is in kentucky and jim in aussie. Maybe we could find something out!

Where is protonmom these days? I think her location is upper midwest?? I am not sure.

A few others who have dropped out might renew their interest.

It would be cool to do it before the frost on the pumpkins is too thick.

@tishatang,

Ha ha, I begun to get excited when I read your post Chris, about the excess heat I discovered from my little experiment, here I was, doing an experiment to see if I could get DC out of a small transformer and all I got was heat.
This could be put to good usage, by you all in the winter time, me too but I will have to wait a little longer.

OK, I put my DMM on the primary and got zero, this indicated a open circuit, but before I threw the trannie in the bin I decided to use a sharp knife to slice open the green HV electrical tape, and I found a thermal fuse there.
It was rated to 115degrees. I remeasured the primary again, and I have continuity, it was the thermal fuse that failed (did it's job) so the transformer is still OK.

Now I need to find out how much heat the insulation inside this transformer can safely handle and put some kind of sensor on the iron to switch off the 240v AC to allow the iron lamination's (transformer to cool down.

I think I have accidentally discovered a very very low powered source of heat, capable of putting out a lot if this was coupled to a fan to push air over a set of heatsinks, it just might be able to be used as a heat radiator source.

Lets just think about this a while, the primary wires are very small, they carry hardly any current, the diode was a 1N4004, its rating would not allow high amps to pass if it was used in series with a electrical bar element heater, but it didn't fail, but the heating was fairly rapid and it took a long while for the transformer to cool down.

If this can be married up to some sort of control circuit to monitor its heat and drive a metal bladed fan, then we all got a more efficient heater.

I was very amazed at this whole experiment, this effect was not what I was looking for, it was an accidental discovery.

Mw383 has also done work with electrical cookers, perhaps he could shed some light on this for us all.

looking at 1684 jpg, the thermal fuse can be seen, its smaller than a grain of rice, I placed a staple on the top of the transformer for comparison purposes.
Could a set or couple of sets of heat pipes be used to transfer this heat away, one placed on top of the iron, one placed under the iron transformer, all four sides, wow.
I'm getting ahead of myself.

So jim,
I could use a circuit diagram on this one!

please?

And the power source was a NiMH battery? or was it your house wiring?
thanks,

Jeanna,

I was just about to post this and something deleted my work grrr.

OK, I didn't use a JT or EER cells to power this transformer, only the regular 240 volt power.

Get a DMM with a heat/temp probe to see if you can pull up a temp range, might be useful in working out BTUs etc.

Disclamer. for (everyone who reads this)
I don't give anyone permission to do this experiment as it involves high voltages, current and might be injurious to your well being.
Only persons who think they are sufficiently trained and understand what they are doing in a research environment should carry out experiments in a proper setup laboratory.

As I cannot know every persons situation, qualified to experiment, with low or higher voltages or currents, I absolve myself from any outcome, which might transpire.
The reader alone accepts full responsibility of risk to his / her person or any property.




Be careful around any exposed live wires, don't come back and blame if you kill your self.

OK jim,
We were just talking about that somewhere around here.

I know about those immersion heaters that are basically a shorted wall mains plug with a coil in between. They boil water in about 30 seconds, but be careful never to use it out of water.

BUT I was wanting to try to make this work using pulses that act like ac but are pulses from a joule thief secondary for instance.

We all have tonnes of ideas waiting for trial, and this is one of mine. It would be nice to use a AA to make a cup of tea, wouldn't it?

(I am going to try it, but tomorrow is a sunny day and I have some out door obligations planned.)--- SO, if YOU have a battery run pulsing circuit and would like to give it a try, I know what a good cup of tea requires, you can just tell me tea or no tea.!

thank you,

jeanna
