It had been found that to strengthen the current, it was most advantageous to drive the northerly electropositive electrode deeper into the medium than the southerly electrode. The greatest currents and voltages were obtained when the difference in depth was such that a line joining the two electrodes was in the direction of the magnetic dip, or magnetic inclination. When the previous methods were combined, the current was tapped and utilized in any well-known manner.

Hello all,

Magnetic Inclination:
What is Inclination (I)?

At a given location, the Inclination is the angle between the magnetic field vector and the horizontal plane (the plane is tangent to the surface of the Earth at that point). The inclination is positive when the magnetic field points downward into the earth and negative when it points upward.

Online calculator to determine true North and South for your location.  Just enter your zip code:

DECLINATION CALCULATOR AND INCLINATION CALCULATOR:

What is Declination (D)?

Declination is the angle of difference between true North and magnetic North. For instance, if the declination at a certain point were 10? W, then a compass at that location pointing north (magnetic) would actually align 10? W of true North. True North would be 10? E relative to the magnetic North direction given by the compass. Declination varies with location and slowly changes in time.

Note:  Inclination is the angle you want between the bottom of your North electrode and the bottom of your South electrode.

Example:  For me, my declination is 3 degrees East and my inclination is 61 degrees.  So, to start I want to find my true north, by offsetting my compass by 3 degrees West and there it will be. 

I want to set the angle between my bottom electrodes at a 61 degree angle.  I hope that helps!   

Holiday Cheers,
Bruce

Bruce,

The calculator is broken?

I had true north.  If I had the rest (angles), I can get the polls the lengths I need before I drive them in.  Will try it again.  I would love to see current over voltage.  But so far no current on the analog meter..

I was shocked the iron and copper worked best voltage wise.

Thanks!  It works now!

@ All:

In case some of you newer fellows have not read all of the previous posts here, of which there are many I know, my best readings are 1.82vdc and 2.5 milliamps. My total highest reading was 2.19 vdc but that was after I charged the cell from a 9 volt battery for about 40 seconds.  I believe Hans is right about these digital meters.  I have an old analog meter in my electronics toolbox that I used years ago.  I will dig that out and re-check some things later today if I get a chance.  Possibly, it will not read any milliamps at all...we will see.

@ Bruce:

My angle is 3 degrees (declination) here in Kentucky, USA and my angle on the bottom of the electrodes is about 60 degreees, roughly speaking.  What I did in the begining as per Localjoe's suggestion was to place an electrode in the ground and then placed my meter probe on it and stabbed around in the ground with the other probe on angles slightly off of magnetic north and, low and behold, my best reading with the meter was 3 degrees.  I sank my other electrode along this line, but farther away which also helped. The meter probes only have a limited reach as we all know, but once I established the line, I just stayed aligned with it only at a greater distance.  Also, from what I have read, I should not be able to get more than 1.5 vdc if just pure galvanic action here.  Plus, check out my picture posted earlier of the carbon rod after being burried in the earth cell for over two months.  No sign of destruction as of yet.  Could there be microscopic destruction?  Sure, but I don't have a microscope to check this.  I'll bet if I had it immersed in salt water for that time period with another dissimilar metal, there would be obvious damage.

My list of tests to perform is growing each day.  I will try to get out there and knock some of these out and report back.

G'day Bill,

You should be able to read mA on your meter.

Years ago I did some work in a factory that built these things. Always curious, I had a good look at what they were doing and asked some questions. From memory they were using meter movements that had a full scale deflection of 100 mA. I was told that this was the type of movement most manufacturers used in their multimeters.

So you should be right.

G'day Gentlemen,

Have a look at this patent. It is a patent for an orgone, motor granted in 2006.

The fascinating thing is the perpendicular arrangement of the coils. The sort of thing I have been discussing lately. I have included one of the drawings from the patent to give you an idea what I am on about.

The plot thickens.
