Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

[Chad]

Thanks for the warm welcom bill.

Ok did a few tests last night with the following, copper, graphite, carbon, zinc plated screws, steel, brass, i found for me the best combination were "graphite" and "zinc plated screws", the next best were the copper and the zinc plated screws but the graphite seemed a little better in place of the copper.

I also found that the soil doesnt need to be in contact with the earth, i took some soil and isolated it from the ground by putting it in a small container and placing it on the side board in my workshop, the size of the container is 60mm OD X 60mm Height,  the voltage was i got was aprox 0.8 VDC. with the graphite and zinc screw about 50mm apart the same distance i used in the garden for the purposes of this test.

Then i toyed with the idea of tryng different earth materials other than soil, well my first test was plain old builders sand (red sand) i did the same proccess of isolating a small sample from the rest and again i got a voltage of around 0.8VDC.

well then i wanted to see if i could gain more by linking a number of small cells together...well it worked, i linked 7 cells together in series and got a initial voltage of 5.60VDC, the voltage dropped at a steady rate until it reached 4.60vdc then it seemed to stabilise.

I wanted to test the cells under load to see how they lasted, well all i have is 6v led's so i hooked one up and the voltage dropped to 1.71vdc it gave a dull but visable glow, so i left this hooked up over night with the meter connected aswell and heres the final readings.


start of the test

starting voltage DC 4.60v
Starting voltage AC 8.4v
Starting voltage under load 1.71vdc
Starting MAh.......1717m        (digital meter)


Results 8 hours later

finnishing voltage DC 3.7dcv
finnishing voltage AC 6.3 vac
finnishing voltage underload 1.69vdc
finnishing MAh......1689m      (digital meter)

these tests were conducted using ordinary red builders sand!, im going to run more test now but im going to be making a few changes to see what the outcome will be.

not a bad start.

sorry about the post modifications i noticed some mistakes.

Ok thats real cool chad i wasen't able to get any discernible current  out of my pot setup with dirt but i will check it out again.  Bill, i agree fully and encourage folks testing these things with us to start with rod style electrodes as we are so we can get a good data sheet on it then move to, experimenting with plates, make a data sheet on that and further a few coil setups once we all have a better understanding on the data at that point.   I read a few of the tellauric patents last night and i still saw the electromagnet/inductor present strung between them and with a transformer so this must be some kinda pulsed dc or how else would the transformer work?

Chad last question your ampreage rating is that 1770 millaamps or microamps.

Hi Chad,
many thanks for these tests, but what do you mean by these numbers ?
Did you put your ampmeter on the milliAmps scale and measured the
shortout current the cells can give off ?

So does 1717m means 1.721 milliamps ?

So about 1.7 milliamps seems right, when the cell is not very wet
and as you have it in a seperate container, you just have a galvanic cell,
no telluric currents.

But the objective is here to get more power output via the telluric
currents.
I wonder, where they could be got the best way, in a forrest
near trees or near houses were the return wires from the electric power
companies might create them ?

I already tried many galvanic cells and saltwater cells
and only via telluric currents you could get a bigger power output.
so I wonder, how this other guy could get 1.8 amperes from his
pipes,that sounds really very  big as the galvanicoutput is mostly
only in the 10s of milliamps at the maimum, normally under 10 milliamps
(DC short circuit current), if you don?t use disruptive chemicals with it like
chlor bleaches or acids or something like this..

Regards, Stefan.

Hi stefan, sorry about that what you say is right 1.7 milliamps, so it looks as though im describing microamps  , im pretty new to all this so il il keep plugging away and promise to get it right next time 

il be back

1.7milliamps is pretty good.  I cut up an old graphite golfing shaft, into 3 pieces and got 3.5 milliamps, but low voltage around 1.9, which barely lit a led.  I'm sure I can get it to light brightly if I use more cells.  Graphite works a lot better than copper.  I think the more (+) material, the more amps, and the more (-) the more voltage, in proportion to one another.  My goal is to light my 3 watt luxeon led .
