Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

@ tgraca
Just popping in here after a long abstance (I usually been in the Stubblefield and Joulthief forums) , was intereresting to read up on your solar remarks, if you are going in that direction the lowest voltage I reccomend is 24 volts (or higher). wish Stephan would put a spell checker in this web site, I have ADHD.


I once made a huge earth battery, way back in the threads somewhere, (Pirate would know where, hi Bill), I also discovered like Bill, the cells need to be insulated from each other, I used copper pipe  and the center electrode was galvanised nails, all cells connected in series, in a stright line, took the output into the house and could light up a bedroom with a white LED.
Ended up blowing the LED when I connected too many cells LOL, (had about 60 cells) I mucked around with connecting cells in strings of Series and Parallel.
Could charge up capacitors, even a super capacitor and was able to use useful voltage but a flood wyped out the experiment in Christmas of 2010 but it was interresting at the time.


I would be interrested in this set of 4 cells set out in a square that you know of, just draw a "plan" of the setup like you would be looking down at the cells, showing how they are connected


You could try this experiment, setup a sensitive moving coil meter, connect wires to the back of it, connect the other ends of the wires to a steel post in the ground, then connect the other wire to another steel rod, then place the meter where you can watch it.
Next take just ONE rod and start to move it backwards and forwards in the ground, slowely moving it backwards and forwards, the meter needle will begin to snap backwards and forwards too.
There is NO battery in the circuit, so where is the energy coming from to move the needle in the meter? is it friction or earth energy?
I have done this experiment many times, it does work.


Keep up the good work

It's doesn't take much aluminum and copper to produce enough power to my simplified JT circuit,
which powers an LED as brightly as a cheap $1 yard light.

These could be made so the metals are at the bottom of the pointed end of the yard light.
- Of course, the metals can not be touching or it shorts the earth battery.

The key advantage is that there is no solar panel or battery. It also runs 24/7.

I welcome anyone to take this technology and have it mass produced.

I would like to find these in the $1 store instead of the ones I use.

Your comments and suggestions are appreciated. Here's the first draft of what I have in mind. I am
thinking in terms of 30 earth batteries in series to get 18 volts.

      When I lived on the streets in Oklahoma City, I built a similar system that was even simpler:
A spliced, copper 2-conductor with garbage-found, heavy aluminum strapping wire from a commercial palleted shipment amongst more pallets in a vacant field.   Supports were rebar lengths beaten into the ground and then having aluminum wires as alternating support:
       Fe---Al---Fe---Al---Fe---Al---
The return wire was the intact half of the 2-conductor in one single piece that was connected to a copper pipe, pounded into the dry ground about 6", as my earth ground.   I got 1/2 volt immediately from my Radio Shack multi-meter, and after 2 hrs., it rose to 2 volts.
       I found a place to live shortly thereafter, so I never returned to that lot.  The system was successful, however.   I just didn't have the time to develop it further.

Just when I thought it couldn't get worst I find this news:

Two companies are currently engaged in the late stages of commencing to mine seafloor massive sulfides. Nautilus Minerals is in the advanced stages of commencing extraction from its Solwarra deposit, in the Bismarck Archipelago, and Neptune Minerals is at an earlier stage with its Rumble II West deposit, located on the Kermadec Arc, near the Kermadec Islands. Both companies are proposing using modified existing technology. Nautilus Minerals, in partnership with Placer Dome (now part of Barrick Gold), succeeded in 2006 in returning over 10 metric tons of mined SMS to the surface using modified drum cutters mounted on an ROV, a world first.[56] Neptune Minerals in 2007 succeeded in recovering SMS sediment samples using a modified oil industry suction pump mounted on an ROV, also a world first.[57][/color][/font][/size]

Potential seafloor mining has environmental impacts including dust plumes from mining machinery affecting filter-feeding organisms,[53] collapsing or reopening vents, methane clathrate release, or even sub-oceanic land slides.[58] A large amount of work is currently being engaged in by both the above-mentioned companies to ensure that potential environmental impacts of seafloor mining are well understood and control measures are implemented, before exploitation commences.[59][/color][/font][/size]

Attempts have been made in the past to exploit minerals from the seafloor. The 1960s and 70s saw a great deal of activity (and expenditure) in the recovery of manganese nodules from the abyssal plains, with varying degrees of success. This does demonstrate however that recovery of minerals from the seafloor is possible, and has been possible for some time. Interestingly, mining of manganese nodules served as a cover story for the elaborate attempt in 1974 by the CIA to raise the sunken Soviet submarine K-129, using the Glomar Explorer, a ship purpose built for the task by Howard Hughes. The operation was known as Project Azorian, and the cover story of seafloor mining of manganese nodules may have served as the impetus to propel other companies to make the attempt.[/color][/font][/size]
