Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

[kooler]

sorry
i tried to read back a couple hundred pages but my a.d.d. kicked in ..
can some one tell me what the highest volt and amp reading they got from a dry cell..
i bought some very low volt and ma transistors and i want to try something with this coil
even if i have to dig a hole and give it dirt..
u know i will post my research if its worth it..

I asked the same question before, but never got any reply.  It would indeed be nice to have the highest reading to compare with on our own coils.   I would like the high readings from a coil BEFORE being buried in the ground, and then the high AFTER being buried.  As soon as the ice and snow go away I will get mine in the ground, too.

kooler and protonmom,
That info is buried for all of us too.
I think it is unremarkable and pretty galvanic.
I do not want to say a mistake but, from memory I remember it being very low.
Look at the datalogging page for the earth battery amounts and pick a page any page from Bill's Stubblefield bifilar thread.

Most of the voltage results are the same, so whatever is reported for one stubblefield voltage will be the same for most.
From memory then...
I used annealed iron and copper which gave 0.3v, but when I switched to zinc plated iron wire and copper it was 0.7v, but that is galvanic. It was the uA that might have gotten higher with larger coils. I expect protonmom's could to produce higher ua, maybe even mA.

This is the reason the cap and the possibility of seeing an increase as a result of the caps is so hopeful.

It is really hard to find anything when there are so many, many pages to go through.  You see something, think you will remember it or at least remember where you saw it, and then poof!  it is gone from memory....and forever lost in the ever-gowing pages.  I will just keep fiddling with my various coils and will chart whatever I can.  Even though it might seem hopeless, happy accidents DO happen.  It might be I will stumble upon something that actually works...and I do say stumble because I am the first to admit that I have NO clue as to what I am doing.  (at least I know more now than I did when I first joined OU) 
I do think it is important that all new members should read as much as possible in these forums before asking a lot of questions because sometimes those same questions get asked over and over again.

I am not sure I understand this question.  My 2 coils did not put out anything before I buried them...they are not supposed to.  Now folks have made regular galvanic batteries using salt water and 2 metals stuck in water but that is not what Stubblefield was doing.

My results, in the ground, for my largest coil was about 1.25 volts and 55 or so mA's.  Then I screwed around and added a little vinegar to the soil and my mA's shot up to about 430 or so...but...the next day, the coil was shorted and has not worked since.  I should have been happy with my original results.  I used only 2 layers on my coil which was 1 foot long.  Solid copper wire and soft steel wire on an iron core which was galvanized.  I insulated the layers and the core using cotton cut from a t-shirt and I insulated between the copper and steel wire with cotton string which was the same diameter as the wire.

That was what I call my large coil.  My small coil was exactly the same only I used 1 layer of winding.

I hope this helps a little.
