Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

@Bill

Nice!  The more you do the higher the amperage will go but the voltage peaked somewhere around .9 for me so the volts probably wont go much higher.  Ive got a few things to do today but if i have a chance im going to try to make some form of interuppter/ on off switch thats self propelled.

@jenna

you said
Lets just keep on truckin

were you referring to the song or just moving along with our projects.
If you were talking about the song.. id say take a 5 min break and listen to a little truckin ! Great inspiration RIP JERRY followed by some  dark star
After your done trucking if your getting mad at your primary coil theres this song from steelers wheel called stuck in the middle with you.. i find that relieves stress - you might get some exercise if it drives you to dance as well.  Music the gift that just keeps giving.

PS- If your a rap lover sorry you may not agree with any of that.

@ Joe, Hans, or anyone:

Another stupid question.  If I can get some thin copper wire, I am going to try to wrap a secondary.  Do we need to insulate the primary from the secondary as we did the layers?  In other words, do I need to put a layer of cotton over my second layer prior to wrapping the secondary?  As I posted before, my books here all show coils and how they work, but not how to wrap or wire one.  Any information would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

@ Joe:

I was listening to some Jimmy Buffet while winding the coil.  He went to Paris, Son of a son of a sailor, etc.  Great tunes.

tying  rebar together. The tying wire is very soft because it is made to wrap around the rebar

Thank you Tishatang,
What a good idea. It is just plain soft iron. (I even have it in short pieces,  But the roll of it is available at the same place.)
Thank you - my sore fingers thank you!

Above is another link to a coil calculator.  This will tell us the inductance of our coils. The one I posted way back seems to have a bad link.  At the bottom of the page, there is a great chart with wires sizes, etc.
