Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

[guruji]

Hi guys once I saw on internet an aluminium rod with insulation and coil wire winded with it.
As I remember this gave alot of voltage.
One have to experiment with this to verify.
Thanks

The specific content or alloy composition of the iron used may be critical. A Spectrometer test of a genuine NS coil should be taken to find out its properties. Pure iron is soft. This may make a big difference on how the iron was processed. The use of "iron" rebar should not be used. Rebar itself is steel.
Pirate mentioned NS did this in different locations. If the geology was similar then it may still make a difference on how it works. Another question I have  is the type of wire used for the loads. Were both wires copper or one copper for + and one iron for - coming off the NS coil to the load. Really cant see the iron wire being used at only 17% conductivity.

Man, if you are correct that would sure simplify winding these things.  I hope for all of us that this works.

Yeah,
It sounds so much easier I can even imagine going for #13... maybe it would be the lucky number.

@IotaYodi,
Trouble is nobody has ever seen a real stubblefield coil in the flesh...I think. There were random things in pics in boxes but in the museum I think there is nothing. I think it was alcanadian that went there, wasn't it?

I am sorry to hear rebar is not plain iron. I sure thought it was the way it rusts so thoroughly and well. 

I may write an email to the high school metals teacher who taught me some welding and ask him about a source for soft iron.
I know that I made some cast hooks for a door and they are not able to cause a compass to respond to them after I was finished. The teacher kind of knew this would be true..

I must be tired... all my sentences are circles!

@Bill, I got my magnets today. I gotta try n see.

@Jeanna,
When you contact your metals teacher, ask what happens to the iron, when a iron bar is heated up in a hot flame, I think the metal becomes weaker, but, does it soak up magnetism better?

Remember that huge iron ring I found ages ago, it had been extreamly hot, probably red hot as it had turned grey in colour, and it rusts very quickly indeed, something changed in the metal when a certain temperature was exceeded.

@All,
hooo boy oh boy, I have decided at looooooong last to make my stubblefield coil, so I hunted around in my shed, found my longish bolts (450mm long x 25mm wide shaft), then I realised, to wind this thing I will need to make my stubblefield winder, so here is what is going to happen in a nut shell.

Modify an old exercise machine, cut it up and re-weld it in a different configuration, add a reduction pully gear set, and drive the whole shebang with a motor, DC or AC, not sure at this point in time.
I saw the big plastic wheel/cover has a flat 1" wide edge all the way around, so I just might fit a fan belt there, makes sence to use what is there.

Mount the SW (Stubblefield Winder) onto a steel table top (got to make it), then fit controls to it (which I will need to make) and Bobs yur Unkle. 

After you all enjoy the pickies and video, let me know what your opinions are, how I should power this thingie.
