Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

This is bare, no coatings which may turn out to be a bad thing. I will see. Thanks.

Bill,

Wind it in parallel with fishing line to separate turns.  This way turns won't be shorted.

akashh.

Can't experiment yet, broke my arm and have 1 hand otherwise I'd be trying this out.

That sounds awfully painful, hope you didn't fall over while experimenting 

Heal well and quick.

Regards Den.

Is your wound nail inside?
It may be a good scientific idea to make some control tests. (I always try to mention mine. I'm sure  you and others do them but don't bother to mention them.)

For instance, with DMM leads as you have them outside, measure the voltage and amperage doing some comparable exercises. For instance with sand or some dirt  in a jar put the wound nail in series or whatever with a piece of steel. If your results are coming from telluric currents or some earth currents you should get nothing by doing this inside.

Also, just to check further, run a magnet by it back and forth. You should have a good strong reading by doing this and both of these can be something you can use to check your EBat results next time you go outside.

@everyone
It would help me and I assume it would help everyone if we all shared the controls we do while we are experimenting.

I have already wound 25 feet of wire on it and am a little less than halfway done!! If this doesn't do any good at least I'll have a very, very long copper slinky.  This is bare, no coatings which may turn out to be a bad thing. I will see. Thanks.

Bill,
How did you know how many turns you want to make? (was that in the dream too?) How do you calculate turns needed? Or length of wire?

@ Jeanna:

Well, this was a very complicated calculation.  Just kidding.  I am just wrapping the total surface area of the zinc spikes as tightly as possible with 18 ga. bare copper wire.  This got a little more complex in that I added another magnesium block in the center for a total of three.  This is slow going winding this.  If I get it done tonight, I will try to post a photo.  It may do nothing more than just be a good neg. electrode as it has 3 mag. blocks and 2 12" long zinc spikes.  By adding over 60 feet of this copper wire I was hoping it might "collect" more of the telluric currents.  Maybe a total waste of time but, at least I will have learned what does not work.  I have been thinking about how to present it into the earth.  Vertical? Horizontal?  On its side?  There are also several ways I can align it n/s as well.  Well, back to winding.

@ Georgemay:

Thanks for the idea.  Since this is bare wire I believe it will short out to the zinc "core" anyway if there is going to be a shorting problem.  Great idea though.  Thanks.
