Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

[MW383]

fathershand, I agree that there are very unique aspects to this battery/coil. As you mentioned, galvanic or magnetic. I also long suspected that once the reaction (at a frequency) is started, then there is some interaction with ground aspects that occurs.

The battery starts operating in a pure galvonic state. Thus as we all know, fairly weak electrically and thus weak magnetically. At some point, in theory, an interaction with earth occurs. Earth acting in a capacitor sense almost. The slowly building of power, or in ground antenna work - the slow building of signal strength, indicates that some kind of re-orginization occurs. Eventually this produces enough earth based electrical power that it surpasses the galvonic capabilities of the battery itself. More electrical input = more magnetism. More magnetism = more power. Clean, non-corroded iron windings have been a reported characteristic. This means that oxidation/reduction from an electrochemical sense is not indicating internal battery discharge. I have intentionally driven 9VDC into my NS coils. An interesting thing happens. What appears to be hydrogen gas is produced. The other noticeable thing was that light surface oxidation on the iron windings, was reduced. So that is why I think the larger earth current vs internal battery galvonic current keeps the windings in a clean state. Furthermore, we either need a lot of natural magnetics or a lot of natural current to get any real power out of this thing. My conclusion errors to the side of increasing natural currents. The natural magnetic field is so weak, that to concentrate it somehow in great enough quantity, seems less likely.

So my question is, how does the 'earth' take over process work - exactly? Through simple ground rod experimentation I have seen both DC and AC currents. The DC a result of electrochemistry between the galvanized iron and copper rods obviously. The AC observed was much weaker but it was clearly there. If we have natural magnetic field, it would seem the AC is a direct result of this. I always wanted to somehow magnify the power of the natural AC aspect. It is already naturally oscillating thus if it were strong enough, it could be useful in potentially cycling an induction coil through some switching method. If the induction coil was resonant with whatever frequency(or frequencies) that were naturally happening, then maybe some good power is possible. Obviously the lower the frequency, the more power. I think it would be useful to have an induction coil that is capable of being resonant over a frequency range, the lower this range the better. As I understand it, construction aspects of the induction coil make this a possibility somewhat.

Iota, Iron being less conductive is a good clue. I need to ponder this more.

Well I'm rambling a bit much here. It has been some time since I have thought about this system, hence the probably meaningless conjecture on my part .

Hi everybody
To show that its possibly the bifilar arrangement that makes the Stubblefield coil special,
and not so much the galvanic battery, consider this article from the JL Naudin website

Kind regards

I commented on this once way back. Did anyone have any thoughts to the paper she attached?

This probably doesn't mean anything, but I find this interesting.  If you read this patent: http://www.google.com/patents?vid=4457988  you will see that this guy uses a coal vein as one of the earth battery electrodes.  NS was from the same state I was born in, Kentucky.  What do they have a lot of in Kentucky and also in Pennsylvania where NS also did some work?  You guessed it: COAL.  What don't they have in New York City, where NS was unable to get his device to work?  You guessed it: COAL.

My conjecture is that since COAL is very high in carbon, it would follow that maybe the earth's currents might flow readily through it.  This might be the cause of NS claims of high energy flow in the earth battery used in KY.

What think ye?

fathershand,

the coal aspect points to a simple concept. Dipole. Get a good dipole to play with and plenty of fun can be had. It doesn't matter if it is a bed of underground coal, or some space based object up to and including an entire galaxy if you want to think big enough. A dipole is a dipole. Stubblefield did have a hell of a time in New York. He left disgusted at the 'stony ground' he encountered there. The geographic areas you mention are interesting ones. Also on this list should be southern Illinois, Missouri, and even Arkansas. Plenty of freakiness under the ground in these places. Actually I would also be interested in anywhere near the New Madrid fault line as well. Dipole possibilities abound. I have studied quite a few older electro-geological based prospecting patents. Before modern satellite based prospecting abilities, they did it with ground interacting induction coil systems. Their coils could detect dipoles that were miles deep. Obviously their goals were finding the dipoles created by ores or oil. Again, dipole is the ticket here. Tap into a big enough one, and plenty of satisfaction can result for mankinds relatively unsophisticated needs (like electricity).
