Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

Stefan:

Good suggestion on the solar lights.  They sell them here at a flea market very cheap. (Made in China and not very good)  Do I need the driver circuit to light the led?  Sorry to be so ignorant but, at least I admit to what I do not know... ha ha.  I have lit an led just by direct contact with some jumpers off the tubes in the soil.  Would the driver circuit help me and, if so, how?

Also, does anyone know of a good source for magnesium rods and carbon or graphite rods?  I am going to go whole hog and try the most difference in the glavanic scale.

I got 2.6 vdc just using a carpenter's pencil sharpened on both ends (graphite) and the magnesium fire starter block.  Neither one was planted deeper in the earth than 2.5 cms and about 30 cm apart. (Not optimal)  Oh, and as for amps on this trial: .05.  I was just playing around but now I want to get either plates, for more surface area, and/or the rod/tubes mentioned above and really sink them deeper.  I believe the power is there, we just need to grab it in an efficient manner.

I just found an 8 foot copper pipe in the basement  , just have to cut that to size and find  a grounding rod. I don't think the guy in the video said what the metal was but they must be pretty standard, if i can replicate what he did  with 1.8 amps.. Im just going to use the camera flash circuit to start with and see how quick it will step the current up.

I think, and do not know, that grounding rods are galvanized and therefore zinc coated.  Wherever you purchase one, they should be able to tell you, I would hope.  So far, I have only milliamperes like Stefan said but, I am only in the ground very little with very little surface area.  That is about to change and I will post here the results.

Cool thanks for the info bill, i had a feeling they were zinc .. side note some guy in another thread took the time to delete all of his postings and then claim he was keeping the idea for himself after others had given input and it was not stated at the beginning. Its amazing how some people have it all figured out ... hell he could probably rob cars for a living and make it huge... ya know    I told him that most times, servers have backups for several days and even weeks then laughed here for a minute when i thought about how there was a time years ago when people in cities left there homes and cars unlocked at night.  Too bad human nature has gone so downhill in some areas.

Yes, I have read all of that.  I also posted (in case you didn't see) that he had already "published" his idea and therefore could not receive or maintain a patent. (In my opinion)  a lot of people, including myself, have helped him, which is what this site is all about, or, supposed to be.  He will be back when his idea does not work, it is flawed.

I have, at times, thought I was also on the verge of a breakthrough.  I asked myself if I would publish my findings and a video here and elsewhere.  I hessitated only for a moment and decided that yes, I would like nothing better than to share any success with the people here who just might, not only be able to replicate it, but to possibly improve my resutls.  No money for me but, if I were in this for the money, I should just get a second job.

What I am trying to say is that I understand his thought process but, once people here provide input, and someone accepts this input, I think it is too late to decide to "keep it to yourself."

If we have a breakthrough on the earth batteries, I am pretty sure the prior patents have expired.  But, for me, this is not the point.  I would want to use it for myself, and my friends and, have the people here think of ways to improve it that we never even thought of.  Society wins.....that's enough for me.

Don't take my word for the galvanized grounding rod being zinc coated.....if I knew this to be true, I would say I knew....I think this is the case, but check it out.  Interesting results I got with a pencil using the graphite.  Big improvement in vdc.  If I can find a graphite rod about 1" in diameter and a magneisum rod of about the same dia and both about 4' long....I might have a good starting point.
