Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

enough to run a small motor for 60 days

There is a picture of the motor he used somewhere in this thread too.

I'm still trying out different configurations, and it gets more interesting as you try different ways.  I can also confirm that two of the same metals like zinc will produce mA/ voltage which I think comes back to resistance, and the wire being the least.

Freezer,
Would you be willing to tell us of things you try as you try them. It doesn't matter if they don't work. Just hearing the ideas can tweak a seemingly unrelated thought to produce an idea in somebody else. - the think tank approach.
Thanks,

Well, I have just been using 4 electrodes,  2+ and 2 - using distance, depth, and amount in relation to each other.  I think the two different metals you are tapping energy from have to be closest to each other, while the others you maintain as much distance to gather from a as wide of an area as you have.  You can still feed energy back to the starting south point as well for an increase.  I think its like tree roots.  Tree roots spread width-wise.  I think voltage is to width and amperage is to depth and amount of copper as others have said.  The trick is how do you create a huge draw and super low resistance to the north, and back to the south again.  I think it would be easy to get 12 volts if you are separating the cells as in that link.  The more I encapsulated  each cell the more increase in voltage.  So if its really sealed then it wont short itself in a small area and you can put them right next to each other.  They also have a circuit diagram which looks pretty easy which will do away with having to seal the bottom and prevent the shorting out.  I need to get some diodes and stuff for that.  Stubblefield however used some additional method if he's getting that type of power.

I am still lost back at the joule thief that died due to a magnet?  Mine have no magnets (and nor should it).  The are HV OSC (pump/boost) circuits to light an LED from a voltage too low where there is plenty of power (current).

And the bricks in an avatar that are supposed to mean something (that really lost me).  But like Freezer, can not go back and read all that as well.

And far as the .7vdc on doping, that is an ideal number for silicon.  I use germanium on most stuff here as there is never any current.  Ideal is .3vdc.

Thank you for replying to the joule thief query. I am a beginner in electronics. When the list said ferrite bead I took that to mean a magnet. I will be getting some ferrite beads next week. Thanks for the correction.

Nevermind the bricks. It was a result of a different kind of experiment relating to time.

I just have the Si type transistors. But the point was the line that forms where the 2 doped sections meet is where the action is. and the separation I am thinking about comes in the form of the little plastic housing that makes the electrical world inside the transistor have different rules and pathways from the larger circuit on the outside. It is why it works as a switch and an amplifier etc. It is a world of its own, sort of.

@everyone
So with that (separation line)  in mind I went outside (brr) and checked a few things that have been in the ground for a while. On a lark I stuck the probes into the dirt of one cement pot and the loose carbon in another pot. The reading started at .090vdc and went down then went below zero to about -0.048vdc. I went inside for my camera. I repeated it . this time it stayed above zero at about 0.044vdc. Then I swung the dial to ohms and there 637,000 ohms.this between the 2 pots one with dirt one with carbon. I guess that is pretty good separation?

@mramos:  Above should be a link to a video I uploaded to youtube a little while back.  Yes, it is very difficult to locate stuff once a topic gets as long as this one is.  I was thinking we should start another topic and move just the links, patents, circuits, photos, etc there for easier access.  In this video, I am lighting 2 flashing led's from the earth cell.  Not long after, I added my original one back into the circuit and had 2 flashing and one solid led running.  I am up to 9mA but have not been able to get higher yet.  I have some ideas, just need some time and money.
