"This successful operation of the device required very specific ground placement. It would not work with equal effectiveness in all locations. A very precise placement of the device required a precise knowledge, which only dowsers have. Stubblefield shared this particular fact with only one person.
I spoke with an academician who had the extreme privilege of speaking with Mr. Stubblefield's son, Bernard Stubblefield. Bernard, by this time himself quite aged, told that his father's method in locating the "right spot" was deliberate and time consuming. His father referred to the device as a "receptive terminal" and not a battery. Despite the insistence of Patent Officers in calling the device a "battery", Stubblefield declared it to be an "energy receiver ... a receptive cell for intercepting electrical ground waves". Its conductive ability somehow absorbs and directs the enormous volumes of earth energy.

Whether the current derived from this cell is electricity, as we know it has been questioned. One indicator that it is not is found when considering his use of the energy in lighting lamps. With this energy Nathan Stubblefield operated a score of arc lamps at full brightness for twenty-four hours a day. There was a definite trigger by which this energy was stimulated and maintained."

Not your standard current from the looks of it.

"The induction coil, which bears his name is equipped with three coils which are wrapped around upon a heavy iron core. Bare iron wire and cotton covered copper wire are wrapped side by side, comprising a primary coil body. Each layer of this primary coil body is covered by a band of cotton insulation, bringing four wire leads to the coil terminus. In addition to this bimetallic winding, there is a third winding: the "secondary". This third coil is insulated from the primary bimetallic coil, serving as a trigger device. Presumably, a stimulating impulse shock was introduced into the tertiary or third coil, after which the upwelling electrical ground response brought forth powerful currents in both iron and copper coils.

The Stubblefield power receiver is wound like an induction coil and is an Electrostatic induction coil.  It produces a steady direct current output. Electrical induction only occurs with electrical alternations, oscillations, and impulses. Which we know the earth is doing. Stubblefield may have discovered the auto-magnifying voltage effect of electrostatic induction in coils before Tesla, who later utilized the effect in his special electrostatic Transformers."

In my opinion unless the criteria of specific ground placement,tight coil winds,and proper triggering of the incoming waves or frequency is met you wont get much out of it. A minimum coil size may also be needed which I think J Bedini pointed out.

Much to ponder...thanks IY.

There must be some current device that could determine proper placement of the ground, that wasn't available back then.

This was published in 1893 by an electrical engineer. Its not the NS coil but he references Mica as being helpful in induction. NS mentioned using A Mica covering. Folks may want to add this to their coils as it apparently helps in the induction process.

"The inside of ring A is coated with mica in order to increase the induction and also to allow higher potentials to be used".

@ protonmom.

Perhaps he had to word the patent the way he did, just to throw off the officials.
So, perhaps the water is not such a necessity as worded in the patent, after all.

I just know that we will eventually discover all his little secrets and maybe a few more.

Thats what I have been thinking about a long time, Stubs "new" energy generator was simply so far advanced at that time, that the patient officials simply "know" a battery "must" be immersed to operate correctly, they probably couldn't accept a battery could produce energy without acid, so they made him change his termonoligy to suit their own "definition" on how "they" thought his earth cell operated.

It would be a bit like this I suppose, what would you all say if I fronted up with a battery, fitered out with several plates in parallel, and it needed acid to make it work, then patienting it, the "officials" said, wheres the acid? and if I said it dosent need any, they would say, yeahhhhh righttttt go away.
   
I agree 100% to Protonmom's above bottom line quote.
Theres more than meets the eye.
