Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

[jeanna]

#1 is a series C R LED cap resistor and LED

#2 is a parallel cap(s) and LED.  So if you had two 1F caps, you have 2F in parallel with the LED.

Hope that helps. 

Yes, it helps a lot. It is how I have been thinking. So, now that it is clear I will quote myself.

I've been wondering why it would not work to make a ferris wheel out of parallel caps with lights attached to each for a little amperage draw and movement. then charge up just one of them and leterrip (=let her rip, means let it get started).  Don't you think there will be a magnetic field that moves around the ferris wheel growing each time? or maybe not growing because the lights would throw off some, but would the magnetic field allow the re-filling of the charge? or just a little from the earth battery?

I need to buy more caps for this but I have been working on this idea for a long time (since 1991 or so) My electronics teacher was so annoyed by my persistance he started to give me distance. He did admit that this had never occured to him (I mean drawing #1) so after I had made that first series cap-LED- resistor circuit I put it away .

It was when Bill created it in parallel and it worked, that I recognised it and the whole thread heard my excitement.

a magnetic field that moves around in a ring but with no moving parts sounds like a thing that can be tweeked to make power. Maybe not. I will try it myself and see. But I am a biologist. I don't really know how to make a generator or a motor. I also will not mention it again in this thread unless someone else wants to talk about it since we are working with the earth battery.

Again, mramos, thanks for your help.

Oh, please tell me the name or web link to that capacitor company down the street from you. Mine cost me $3.50 in bulk.  -thanks

@ All:

Here are a few photos of my latest wild idea. I am low on funds and I have to use stuff I have lying around so, I made this "array" of sorts from 49 16D x 3.5 " long galvanized nails.  I am going to add this to the minus side of the cell and see if mA goes up a little more.  I know I need to add also to the + side for best result probably, but, the only thing I have for that is my carpenter's pencil sharpened on both ends.  I may add that to the mix as well if I can find another jumper long enough.  I made the photo size smaller and it is in jpeg, but may not upload in jpeg.  We will see.  I will let you all know what happens. (Looks like a lot of surface area there so, who knows?)

Sorry, I see it still uploaded as a png!!  I have no idea why, if anyone knows, please tell me. On my hardrive-properties it is jpg.  I saved it as jpg.  Many of my other photos uploaded as jpg.  So what is going on???

The top end of the nails are hot glued to help hold them in place while soldering.  I left the tie-wraps on for added strength.  The connector ring is made same as my other ones and is spot soldered three places around the o.d.  I will bury this in the garden today and report back...maybe nothing...maybe something.  It's all I have at the moment.

I have noticed that too Bill,

The overunity server will not accept .jpeg files, it will accept .jpg

Must be one of those server programmes that can only handle three digit file extensions.

EDIT: you have uploaded a file with the extension .JPG It does not like that, should be .jpg (no capital letters) The server that handles my website goes apeshit if it encounters capital letters in a file extension.

guys i just purchased from radio shack a 4 amp 50 volt ac-dc converter i used it on my cell and here are the results,

my cell is currently producing .25 volt at no amps. was a bit higher during the rain at .6 volt and .1 miliamp, after attatching the bridge rectifier it dropped to .017 volt and no amps. not sure what happened here but just something to be considered, the rectifier was less than 3 bux at rat shack
