Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

[sid10]

Not sure what this means,
All test were taken by switching the meter without changing anything else. The probes were installed about 16 feet apart in fairly moist soil in the back yard. probes are copper coated carbon in the north and plain steel on the south end.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance

i will test the rectifier on a battery to see how it performs but my guess from my experiments today is  there is no ac current. and if there is we will need an antenna to get it.  i used the rectifier and my voltage dropped from .25 to .017 and there were no amps present, not sure if its my meter or what im doing as i got amps the other day.  i will perform more tests and report back.

Seems your readings are normal.  ~1volts/ ~.5mA  Try downsizing your images, right now they are 3000+ pixels.  640x480 is a good resolution.  What materials and setup are you using?  I got some copper and galvanized sheet metal to construct a small earth cell for comparative results.  I'm gonna try the stubblefields stacked cell.  I also have some capacitors and will give those a try.  Now if we could light a 5w cree led that would be something.

My probes are copper coated carbon arc gouging rod on the north end and plain steel on the south end. Still looking for a capactior to try out. I have a few leds that are installed on a board of a fire alarm that went bad on one of the guys at work. Them were free and all still work at about 2.5 volts. I tried a cap that came from the same board it would charge to about .42 volts whit a 1 minute charge and drain down really quickly when tested on the meter.
I'll have to see if the Christmas camera is adjustable for formatt size.
Does .5mA mean that is about one half of an amp showing up at 1 volt?
Thanks Sid

This is an excerpt from some website:
You can demonstrate to students that the Earth?s magnetic field lines are orientated in a particular direction using a long piece of wire (3-5m) as a skipping rope. When a wire cuts across magnetic field lines a current is produced and can be measured using a galvanometer (sensitive ammeter). The longer the wire and the faster you spin it the bigger the current you will produce. If you align the wire in a north-south direction it will cut through the field lines at right angles and you will see a (maximum) current register on the galvanometer, if you then realign it in an east-west direction you will not be cutting the Earth?s magnetic field lines but will be travelling ?along? them and will not produce a current. If you orientate the wire anywhere in between you will be partially cutting the field lines and will produce a smaller current. Finding the maximum current will therefore find the north-south direction

Just researching ways of getting current from the earth's magnetic field :-)
