Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

We need to have bill try this he's the only one with enough current to use this probably. Good work jenna, ps did you have the cap in line with your electrodes powering the thief?

no,

my supercaps are all soldered to other things and I KNOW they take too much for this. I will need to solder up a cap with a resistor I think if I want to use it this way, don't I?  I think it would cycle too fast to be useful. so, no, I didn't. I just used the new joule thief that is soldered with a red led.
thanks

I just bought one, maybe I will clip it up and try it while the sun is still out.

sorry all i have been on vacation.

what i meant about stubblefield and those ceramic insulators on top of his rebar metal rod is well think of a capacitor, it is to electrical plates with an insulating core, if you look at home made capacitors they have a oil or salt water mixture in a glass bottle surrounded by aluminum foil or a coil of wire, one electrode goes inside the salt water the other electrode is outside the glass jar all over the outside face of it! somehow this makes a capacitor or allows the store of an electrical charge!  im sure hanz can find some materials to elabrate, time is short for me at the moment,  ceramics is a common capacitor material tho, if he used that or even glass then in that setup in the picture he would have a capacitor with one of the "legs" or electrodes strait in the ground conducting or gathering some kind of current why he has 2 i dont know.

If Bill can light the LED from the ground he does not need the joule thief.

I found also that flat metal had more voltage a couple weeks ago.  But the problem here is lack of current.
All should do what Bill is doing as that is the only one that has 10+ milliamps out at 1.5+ volts.

It is true, Bill does not need the joule thief.

I am sure we would all like to do what Bill is doing.

Did you do that yet?

Thanks for the links cub3 .

Kind regards Ian

Hi Ian, thanks for reply,

Below 2 more, that you may be unaware of. 1st one lot's of info. please scroll (on both sites). The links of various sites will keep you busy. 

The 2nd. has, many other, may I say idea's  if you can work your way through it, there is information as well.

@ All:

The above link is to some information I have not read before ab out Stubblefield.  It is a long paper but really worth looking at.  Below, I have copied just a few paragraphs that I believe you will find most interesting.  This is the first time I have heard of his induction coil (bifilar coil)  having a third coil called a "secondary".  For those seeking amps, this says he was able to gather many many amps.  It also said the power did not decrease over time, but increased! I was just doing some reading on the net and wanted to pass this link along.  Thanks.

"Stubblefield envisioned the energy cell as a "plug", drawing out the electrical charge of the ground. The cell coils acted as a lumped conductor. Charge saturated this conductor and flowed up into it, powering any electrically connected appliance. After repeated exhumations, the copper element of these cells was found "not acted on in any perceptible degree ... even after repeated renewals".

Mr. Stubblefield described means by which such cells could be connected in series at short distances from one another. "With these, acting as electrodes ... you draw from the electrical energy of the earth a constant E.M.F. of commercial value". That phrase... "acting as electrodes..." is the heart of the Stubblefield energy cell. It is not a battery. It absorbs and flows over with the stupendous energy of the earth's charge.

Mr. Stubblefield developed a peculiar bi-metallic induction coil which, when buried, draw up sufficient electrical power to operate lamps and other appliances which he designed and tested. A great length of both cotton-insulated copper and bare iron wires were wound together in a "bifilar" arrangement on a large iron stove bolt. The windings were held side by side throughout the coil. His patent specification describes the device as a "terminal, which draws electricity out of the ground".

The induction coil, which bears his name is equipped with three coils which are wrapped around upon a heavy iron core. Bare iron wire and cotton covered copper wire are wrapped side by side, comprising a primary coil body. Each layer of this primary coil body is covered by a band of cotton insulation, bringing four wire leads to the coil terminus. Two leads of iron and two of copper are external to the coil. Commercial electrical power is obtained through these connective terminals.

In addition to this bimetallic winding, there is a third winding: the "secondary". This third coil is insulated from the primary bimetallic coil, serving as a trigger device. Presumably, a stimulating impulse shock was introduced into the tertiary coil, after which the upwelling electrical ground response brought forth powerful currents in both iron and copper coils.

Electrolytically (as a battery in acid or saltwater) the Stubblefield coil is disappointing; producing less than one volt according to those who have duplicated its construction. Stubblefield's bimetallic coil was a "plug": a receiver, which intercepts the vast and free electrical reservoir of the ground itself. His patent and subsequent company brochures define the manner in which his earth battery was to be activated.

Technically, the Stubblefield device is a modified thermocouple (a bimetal in tight surface contact) but could not supply the degree of power, which he reported. While this arrangement could develop a few milliwatts of power in appropriately hot ground spots, the thermoelectric explanation of the device cannot explain the phenomenal output reported in news reports of Stubblefield's demonstrations.

Furthermore, though the Stubblefield power receiver is wound like an induction coil, it produces a steady direct current output. This poses additional problems for the conventional engineers. Electrical induction only occurs with electrical alternations, oscillations, and impulses."
