Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

This should be a picture of this evening's experiments.  Very hard to tell but it is 2 leds flashing, a red one and a green one.  I have uploaded a video to youtube which is processing as I type this.  I will post the link when it's ready.  the video is terrible but you can see two leds flashing.

Thanks Jeanna.  I have not done a test using just the nails.  I have just been dumping that into the whole deal and it does help with the mA reading.

Above is the link to the video I just submitted to youtube.  the leds (flashing) were operating off of the capacitor circuit attached to the earth battery cells.  I finally obtained another magnesium block, actually, I bought 2 more, so now I am back to using the two carbon rods tied toether and now two magnesium blocks tied together as well.  Good volts and decent mA.  (1.8 vdc at about 2 mA.)

Great work Bill!!!
  So thats two led's in parallel with the cap hooked to your electrodes?

@ Joe:

Thanks.  Here is a picture of the circuit I took during the experiment using the flash on the camera.  This is a small printed circuit board containing 2 leds. (1 green, 1 red)  I salvaged it from a cigarette lighter (made in China) that quit working.  It is wired with the minues lead from the circuit board to the - side of the cap., and the + lead from the circuit board to the + side of the cap.  The jumper wires you see in the photo are attached to the earth cells. (Red +, blue -)

Joe, did you check out that magnesium anode I posted a few posts back?  1 amp.!!! For about $50.00 (USD) and it already has a copper wire lead built into it.  A guy could make some serious power using this in the earth battery configuration that we have been attempting to perfect.

@ Jeanna:

Excellent job locating your carbon rods!!  With Hans's suggestion on the chemical to strip them, you should see some big improvements on your cell when tied to the mag. block.  Excellent!!  Hans is a great guy to have on the team.  We are very fortunate.

@Bill
Thanks for the video. And a good idea. I think I will look for my 2 way LED or solder a second LED backwards into my crazy looping circuit to see if I can watch what is going on.

Wasn't the other red LED still in your circuit? It looks to be there in the flash still.

@Arctic Knight

one end of the copper coil (around the same nail that is in the ground) i attatched the neg to my amp meter, the positive i attatched to the nail itself,

Does this mean that one wire is attached to the meter and the other wire is tucked into the coil? Did you attach anything to the pos lead of the amp meter?  I'm sorry if I am being a pest. I can't replicate this without knowing these things!
