Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

[resonanceman]

So I guess what it boils down to is insulating the outside or spacing them far apart increases the resistance of one cell to the other cells thus allowing a more effective series or parallel circuit. People with small land to play with would have to use the exterior insulation to increase a cells resistance to others. Probably a good bet to tape or paint the outside and use your wick idea for the top if they bury them completely as I do. I had not noticed this when conducting my prior experiments this may have occurred exactly as it did this last time however this last time I was looking for it

For the Stubblefield coil experiment I think my observations here seem to imply the exterior cloth insulation is a good idea if you plan to use them in series or parallel or even individually. Who knows how they would react to grounding rods outside the house.

Thanks again gary, had you not suggested the leakage I probably would have given up and called it quits.

I am glad that I could   be of help in  some small way  .


As  far as calling it quits ........ that is not allowed ............didn't  you get  the memo?

@ All,
As we all know, replicating a previous invention is difficult to do at the best of times, especially if one hasn't got all the information one needs at the time, that is one of the reasons I still haven't made a coil yet, but I am not resting on my laurels.

I do know of a couple of people who have or are now stuck in a rut, (me too) it seems to them it's getting a bit too much (lack of results), don't worry, it's all a part of researching and building, as one wise person said in a long way back post, you learn not only by success, but by the mistakes you and others make. So don't despair.

All these past months, I have been quietly reaching out in the aether lol, contacting people, and this morning have just found out there is a second roll of microfilm on Nathan Stubblfield, notes, info etc etc, and a copy is on its way to me.

My information is, it seems when the person who made both rolls, didn't make exact duplications of the 1st roll, although some info on the 1st roll appears on the second roll, some info is rather blurry, sooooo there might be some more new "stuff" to read up on.

I am hoping, there will be circuit diagrams or at least notes on the way NS connected up his cells (wishful thinking) and also if there are photos!!!
 
I'll keep you all posted on what takes place when I take a look-see at it all.

@ steve, I got your PM, Ta

@ hello All
The Nathan Stubblefield photocopies have arrived, yippee.
My thanks publically to the people who arranged this at Margaret I. King Library.

OK, everything that came were ALL laser copies of originals, photos are lasered no colour, B&W only, the photos seen in previous posts are much better, I suggest we stick with them.

Some information is easy to read, others very difficult.
Info ranges from patients, hand written notes, typed notes and newspaper clippings, and drawings photos.

A good deal of this I have not seen before.
All up there are 67 x A4 size pages to troll through.

I have noticed immediately, on InfoKat Page 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3, 3 of 3 is not there, however this is just a tail end, something like you get when an extra page goes through with nothing relevant on it, P 1 and 2 have all the detail.

OK Jeanna, there is one you will drool over (as we all will do) it has a stubblefield coil in various stages of it being made, it is very similar to everyones coils, seems to me everyone is on the right track making their own.

I will scan it and see how I go posting it here.

OK I will start posting from time to time with info.

I will be scanning this lot then burn to a CD.

@ All
Photo of Stubblefield coils, as examples of the different stages of winding them.
Left to right 1 is the bare iron former, with two wooden ends, next I think should be item 4, showing the "primary" 2 being next stage and 4 the finished coil.

Now 5 is a stubby squat coil, at a guess, the same amount of winding wire may have been used for it, but all this is guess work from me.
Any opinions anyone?

Do we know this is at different stages of winding or possibly just different coil experiments at different levels of completion?
