Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

@ all

Just to inform you, l built a coil using air insulation and a carbon rod out of a battery and it didnt work at all. What I did was cut out two disks and drilled a hole in the disk the size of the rod, next I made some streamers from balsa wood and connected the two disks the length of the rod and wound my coil over this using #30 magnet wire. I guess there was 1/8 of an inch air gap on all sides. My reading was .04 dc but I think the reading was more from the sweat of my hands than anything else.

@ Hans
Do you mean the type of antenna that I would buy if I wanted to replace a broke one. Like the one on my transistor radio?

Yes exactly, this is the right kind of soft ferrite. They come in round rods and in flat bars.

Found this today while surfing around. Its a low voltage dc booster. I dont know where you can buy a single unit as the only ones I've seen so far come in lots of 100 at around 2.65 each. Claims a start-up voltage of 0.5dc and runs off a minimum of 0.3 dc which most of our home built coils can easily do.How much it boosts it to, I have no idea, but looks interesting.


DALLAS (March 27, 2007) -- Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) introduced today the industry's lowest input voltage DC/DC boost converter, which will enable portable electronic end-equipment to draw power from new energy sources, such as solar and micro-fuel cells. The tiny power circuit can operate with input voltages lower than 0.3-V with high efficiency, allowing designers to overcome the low-voltage design barrier of incorporating these alternative energy sources in applications, such as mobile phones, portable medical devices and media players.

Hi all,
I just have a small bit to report now.
I made a 6 layer bi-metal, bifilar 'coil body 4' and tested it in the same way as yesterday. At first it was confusing. My results seemed to be lower, then I realized that my GSR is lower today.
So, I tested each configuration with each 'coil body 4' and found that they are exactly the same. 2 layers is the same as 6 layers!

Thats all for now!

G'day all,

Sad news. 

The motor, as designed DOES NOT WORK ! The results of some tests I did it show clearly that it is not a goer in its present form. I will write my tests up. I just want to issue this warning now already so no-one wastes time and money on a dud.

Back to the drawing board, and haven't we all been there before.
