Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

The majority of those papers are all about the Stubblefield coil...but the one that mentioned the Mallory wire was a hand-written note...like someone had made a note to himself.  I thought maybe he had found a way to use the "Mallory wire" in the Stubb coil.  If it is available, and if it is something that would work, I might be interested in getting some.  But I cannot find it anywhere online.  I have no idea how this guy used it as the mice were hungry that day and devoured the rest of that particular note.  Luckily, the rest of the papers are in pretty good shape.

Here is a site with some info on plug wires.

These wires are coated and made special. Unless you have a ton of money you wont be able to wind an Ns coil with it or one of any size.

I ordered some 1006 iron wire,about $30 for 960 feet. Ive checked it for remanence with a monitor and a pick up test. I found absolutely no remanence. With my cotton covered wire they told me it would be about 3 weeks to set it up so I hope he comes through. What I cant find is rolls of cotton and I need 500 feet of it. Got samples of cotton twill but twill is virtually non absorbent. Lamp wicking was a bust to get as well as candle wicking. I cant believe you cant find rolls of cotton 3/4 or so inches by the hundred's of yards without a custom order. I dont relish cutting up 500 feet.

Just find the string used to fly kites and give it a try. 1000yds per roll I think.

I have some string but really didnt want to use it. Checked my email and the company I got samples from is sending some different samples. So that may be good news as they know what I need now. I still may try the string with another coil. Jim is having pretty good luck with his.

Hi,

Got some news for you all, last night I finished my Stubblefield Coil, just the Bifilar section.

It has been sitting on the floor next to the computer all night and all morning, putting out 0.28 volts and it looks a biggie, heavy, yes.

Haven't got any idea what it weighs just now but will need to find out, and will let everyone know.
This afternoon I decided to use some of the yellow cotton tape to suspend it out side in a shady area protected from rain and sunlight.
I had some spare wire handy so I connected them to the Copper and Iron wires and ran them through to the house where I can keep a better eye on the coils output. The reading was the same outside as when it was in the house.
Later on I had some rain here and the moisture in the air must have seeped into the coil as the voltage rose to 0.32volts, it's not high but shows me it is alive. So it is a humidity sensor as well lol.

Next thing I should do is to give the last layer a final wrap of cotton tape, then dig a hole somewhere after I do a compas survey of the area I want to put it in and try out different coil configuration directions.

Oh yes, I almost forgot, several posts back I made reference to the coil having 2 north poles, well it hasn't, this coil has a North and  South pole, but it was the winding jig left hand post that was north magnetised.
I should have removed the coil out of the jig, then measured it, but when there is wires connected to the coil, I didn't want to take the chance of any turns unravelling.

I've also had issues with using a different size cotton tape, I could only buy Polyester Cotton tape, and it is 1 inch wide, I found 1 in wide tape is a pain in the backside to use, so go for the Half Inch cotton tape.
Also, I found the polyester tape lets the copper and iron wire slide, I wanted the friction to hold the wires in place, polyester doesn't give the grip as much as cotton does.

Anyway, here is a photo of the finished Stubblefield Coil.
Enjoy.

3541 = Stubblefield Coil in the winding machine about 3 weeks ago.
3664 = Stubblefield Coil completed the winds, it has 28 layers of winds on it.
3680 = Stubblefield Coil is suspended in its yellow sling, about 3 feet above the concrete.
Is it heavy lol you bet it is.
I will work out the wire lengths and resistances later and let people know.
