Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

@ Freezer:

I agree with you except, just remember, there were no power companies in the area at the time of Stubblefield's successes so he must have figured out something else.  That is what I am looking for.  I have not attempted his coil setups as of yet as I wanted to just get enough free electricity from the earth to light several leds which I have done.  I will now be shifting gears a bit. I disagree with Dr. Stiffler that this is just the same as a lemon battery.  Do lemon batteries produce amps?  Can they light and heat houses and run a city telephone system? This is what Stubblefield has done.  I very much agree that Dr. Stiffler has much expertise and knowledge that would help us here.  We might already be getting close to making enough power to run his circuit.  That would be something to see.

@ Hans:

After reading your post I now have to re-think my ideas.  I was thinking of these cells as "antennas" of sorts but, this clearly says that is not the case.  More learning on my part to do.  Thank you for posting that and putting me back on the right road.

I agree Bill, as I saw that video posted of the earth cell being done out in the middle of nowhere and it worked just as well.

Woa....guys!  A lot of assumptions.  This is a well known item, called Telluric Current.  I am not interested in taking current from the house.  If I wanted to do that, I have outlets.   

I tried this far from anything, in a field, and you still get readings, North and South.  I live far from any neighbors and further from any town.  So it is not that.   

Also, the type of metal is indeed important.  You can not tell me that carbon spaced 10 feet away from zinc is caused by galvanic interaction.  No  way, no how.

Also, beyond that, if true, then any old direction would work, not North and South.  And South would not ALWAYS be negative and North positive, as it is now.

The Telluric Current is DC according to the scientific papers I have read.  It is well known.  It is untapped.

@ All
I cut a foot of carbon from my  long pipe, and placed it on the same line as the neutral zinc line running east west.  NO increase in ma's at all.  I then tried Copper pipe in line with my neutral zinc and the ma's went down by 1/2.

I placed the carbon in series with my other carbon and got a small bump in voltage, now up to .875 volts @ .248 ma's.  Waiting on the magnesium.  I think that magnesium plates and carbon plates is the way to go. 

@ Dr. Shiffler
"Now we still have the wavelength issue, but what about building a coil with a variable capacitor and placing it in the earth on a plastic pipe handle so it can be rotated. This would allow the coil to be turned and pickup the best of the tuned earths variable waves." 

This is a good experiment to be tried.  What type of coil, made from what.  On an air core?  Iron core?  Any ideas would be helpful.  Thank you.

@ Jeanna
Carbon is typical for a positive electrode.

Hi all!

I signed up hoping Dr. Stiffler signs on? "Please"

The normal earth currents are of such wave length that I am under the impression that the electrodes would have to be 10's of km apart?

When I was a kid I ran a single transistor radio off two rebars in the ground so I know something is there but maybe not much unless you tap it properly. If it is okay with the group and the Dr joins in I would like to join in?

@onhold
Theres always room for more.. but i hope i understand you right when you say you'd like to join us not just because another member has commented... that might freak him out a bit and he seems to be a nice guy
