Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

@ tishatang:

That's not a bad idea.  I wanted to isolate the copper wire from the carbon though which is why I used the solder. I didn't want a reaction between the bare copper wire and the carbon. I suppose I could wrap the set up now though.  Thanks.

@ Jeanna:

No, and no.  But, I only had it connected for about 20-30 seconds.  I did not test the battery after, I did not think about it. I should have.  I will be doing more tests in this area and will see how high it goes on the cell with leaving the battery connected for like 1 minute, 2 minutes, etc. If long enough, it may well go up approaching 9 volts, who knows? I will check the battery after each test. Good idea.

@jenna im not home for the weekend so this will be quick

The battery meaning a battery not rods in earth was a 12 v dewalt one and it was a completely separate exp to see if i could run a battery in series with the ground meaning using the ground as a conductor and power a load on the other side.  This is not pertinent for you to understand, just a side exp, our results came in no way from hooking up batteries and that is just being tested now for the priming the pump concept from stubblefeild work so stick with the basics im not trying to lead you a stray.  Again i took a 12 v battery just to see if i could use he ground as a  single line conductor and i used my copper rod on he load side and a terminal directly from the negative of the battery
the plus on the battery was connected to the zinc rod in the ground the ground served as the link between the zinc and the copper as far as i could tell i.. If this is confusing dont bother with that aspect,  the led exp i had mentioned was yet another different experiment i will try to organize my thoughts further .

Oh I see. What a fabulous idea. Thanks for explaining it. So, you used the ground as a very long conductor and picked up the charge at a distance? Even if it wasn't as good as a direct hit off the battery, I see. kinda like tesla-grounded.

High-voltage low-current supply for the plates!!    


P.S.  Another idea that I just had, is using some static electricity.  Static electricity is about 1000 volts, but no current at all.  Maybe figure out a way to produce some of that on the positive electrode.

I can't wait to get home and help out!  LOL

Hi Bruce,

Last winter I was playing around with static electricity some.  In the attempts to make a good supply of static E but to not have to make a generator, I learned to make a very simple one.

Here goes:
Take a plastic plumbing pipe around 3-4 ft long (1 meter +) and a woolen or mohair glove. Now, wrap your gloved hand completely around the pipe and run your hand down the full length of the pipe and back again. Do this until the little hairs on your arm start to dance. You may hear some pops. Depending on the humidity of the day this will take 1 to a few times.

I had made a capacitor-Leyden jar  by covering a plastic drinking glass with Al foil covering the bottom, and also the inside. The foil stopped about 2 in (6cm) from the top on both sides. Each piece of foil has an Al electrode sticking up about 1 in (3 cm ) above the top of the glass. (If you put some water into the glass it will hold even more charge.)

So to get all that charge onto one of the electrodes start near your gloved hand and gently touch the electrode while you pull the pipe toward you. You can build up more charge with the pipe and repeat the transfer many times- just be sure to always touch the same electrode and always pull the pipe toward you.

You can get a spark that hurts your finger when you touch it.   Somewhere there is a figure for the relashionship between the length of the spark and the voltage. I will edit this post if I find it soon.

certain iron ores or steels have high carbon content such as "pig iron" rebar made from left over iron and steel that was not deemed top quality. i think the rebar is the best steel or iron to use personally. i have a special box my grandfather made for me that can generate frequencies in electricity and alter voltages ect,. i am going to use it later today on the poles i have one steel one copper. tell you about it later.
