Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

[mmmelts3]

 hay all i just finished read all the post and really like all the tests u have done . But i have a few questions if i could get some answers. plz first in the earlier tests with the rods did anybody try using magnentic rods cause most of the reseach ive done and schematics ive seen Nathan . is trying to draw up the earths magnetic forces. some were it is stated that they thing elect energy is a product of magnetic energy is this proven any wear anybody has seen? i also remeber reading in many articles that it was said with the earth batteries when they were in the ground and something drawing energy of them from long periods of time that the energy they produced would grow has anybody tried any test to see if this was true? sorry for all the questions and great work all as soon as it clears up here in Montana i will be out testing and trying to get my self up to the point u guys and gals are to try and help do tests. im not real brite but i like to make things and test them to see what i can do but not real good with the sicience end of all this
   thanks for any responce

Hi mmmelts

Glad to have you along on the Stubblefield thread, and it's pleaseing to know you have read the threads, this will give you a head start.

On your question "did anyone use magnetic rods"---- Not as far as I am aware, although if you want to give it a try, go for it, then post back your findings.
Just don't get your hopes up too high, most of us have done just about every test we can think about and still havent managed any positive result.

Yes, Nathan says the coil must be conditioned in the ground and after a period of time it begins to draw energy from the earth, but we havent seen it thus far.

If you can get hold of some cotton covered copper wire, you will be halfway there.

A point that Stubblefield was adamant about was location. He searched out the higher telluric currents probably with a galvanometer. In any event these telluric currents flow just like rivers through the earth. Just like a river it will take the path of least Resistance. My personal opinion is that the currents are flowing through various metals like iron,gold silver and other ores. Since the whole earth is covered in radioactive materiel's and various ores,then that comes into play also. Radioactive materiel's will boost amps.
The Stubblefield coil is the first electrostatic induction coil. Though slightly galvanic the real power comes from the earths telluric currents. These current's seem to be dc pulsed. The pulse is not a square so it appears there is some ac overtones to it. Check out Pirates and others scope shots. Lots of spikes. Refer to the Joule thief thread as to what spikes can accomplish. With the coil in the damp ground Im thinking the interposed cotton can collect and hold a charge. Leaving them in the ground with no load on them for a long period of time they should collect more charge. If the volume of the coil and its cotton were saturated with charge, and the telluric current strong enough, then with each magnetic field reversal,Earth input,coil output,then there should be an equal charge each time going to the coil. Sort of like charging a capacitor efficiently. The south magnetic field would pump the telluric charge in then exit at the output or north magnetic field in the coil.
I made my first NS coil about a month ago. Not paying attention I ran into a problem when the wires got crossed. Over 3/4 done too. The copper spool had a 1,000 ft and the iron only 500 ft so I just wound the rest of it up and now have to take it off. I did do a few tests but only had about a half volt or so. The wires really need to be on top of each other. I used both cotton covered #14 iron and copper wire. The iron wire was 1008 with a 1/2" 1018 core. I added one winding of iron wire on the core for experimental purposes. I will leave that off when I rewind it as Im going to wind another coil stacking 3/4" wide and 1/4" thick 1018 rectangular bars and try to couple that with a Pmh. I thought just like a laminated core it might help with eddy currents instead of using just a 3/4 " square stock. Not sure if I should use cotton between each bar or what could be used between them. Any ideas or input on this are welcome. Ill post some pics.
@Jim. Hope everything is starting to go quickly in rebuilding your place. Ive been through quite a few hurricanes and know how depressing it can get when your surroundings are in a shambles.

I used cotton string on the core. Much tighter and easier to wind the wires on.

@Iota

Thanks, things are progressing slower in the restoration of the house but I'm copeing.

It will be quite a while before I get back to making Stubblefield coils though.
