Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

[gyulasun]

Hi,  was it static electricity collected by the long and isolated wire?

I had similar experience in the past at an amateur radio club's long wire antenna of about 40m long at 10-11m height, it gave approximatly 2-3cm sparks to the ground wire, mainly when a thunderstorm came or went by, it must have been some hundred volts induced in it, later when it cleared the voltage gradually disappeared, we could touch the wire end without any problem.  Sometime we felt it must have voltage in it with respect to the ground, it 'stung',  even though there was no rain/shower activity nearby, probably there was several kilometers away.

Lidmotor made a replication of lasersaber's sticks, and runs a pulse motor and a joule thief. impossible because the volts are too low.
Have a look!

... And, I just had to try this because I have been thinking about it for a while.

Just as soon as I posted the video I thought of an improvement, so there will be more soon.

thank you,

                I don't think it is static electricity, the voltage was pretty much constant at 90 volts and when there was no humidity it was up to 200 volts, not quite sure why but my earth battery reacted the same, now I don't want to digress from the topic, the idea is to implement this in our stubblefield coils as I'm trying to do as soon as time and materials arriving permit and then find out if the output can be improved , which I think is the case
Good Luck

Hey Lidmotor
                   Great job it is exciting to see this joule thief working at such low milliamps, I recall how difficult it was for me to lit up anything with 60 milliamps.
Now, there is this inventor whom already has the secret to make anodes and cathodes last for a huge period of time he has a water battery the size of a regular car battery enclosed in a transparent case you can see that the bimetal blocks are only open at the bottom where water pressure is constant, the shelf life is of 10 years and he can draw after inverter and so forth 110 volts.
