Here is a little closer shot (hopefully)

Good close ups joe and bill.

Thank you jim for giving this boost of information from your oscilloscope. This is very valuable.
Behind the curtains I only see leaves.

BTW I grabbed this pic from bedini icehouse site. thanks, john B

Hans answered a query of mine about the number of units by saying each unit in these pictures is a separate phone number. Without being able to build one myself it sort of makes sense.

I noticed that the secondaries here are scramble-wound. I read on a page that taught about winding a secondary that it still works if not neat. lots of variations too, like make the first layer perfect and scramble wind the rest.

One of the things I also notices is that they are holding the secondary of one each. It looks like a way to display them, but it may also be part of talking on his phone.? I noticed the coiled wire leading away from the one the boy is holding. there seem to be 4 here. two for the boy, two on the other side for NS.

Gary, I think you are thinking along the lines I am too. No, I would rather not make a decision about what this means for now. Please keep it up, I am getting more ideas from your posts.

I have certainly tried and I have found NO way to simulate and therefore replace the galvanic action that starts up this fascinating coil. I think it must be moist. NS says it is better not too wet.

Yesterday late in the afternoon I visited my primary in the ground and threw some water on it because I was sure it was too dry. didn't check.

The basic voltage was down from the noon figures. so, I don't know if that is the too wetness or maybe the time of day. That seems to play a big part in this.

Gary, I think you saw that a cap didn't help.
Can you be more specific? like numbers?
I think you are seeing some interesting effects.
I got stumped by squeezing the 5,6 and seeing a nice bunch of voltage, but that was using me - my skin like a sea of earth energy. useful to see, but not coming from the coil.

I may have missed something.
You all did a lot while I was asleep!
Bravo everybody.

now it is my turn to play,

@ Joe:

Yes, I forgot about that one.  Much neater windings there eh?  I think I am more confused than before.

@ One and Jeanna:   (very strange results)

Readings of the dry coils:                                     Readings of the wet coils:

Large coil:                                                           Large coil:

cu to core=.24 v  0mA                                          cu to core= .92 v  2.0mA
cu to fe wire= .02 v 0mA                                       cu to fe wire=.3v 1.5mA
                                                                          fe to core= .7 v  19 mA

Small coil:                                                           Small coil:

cu to core=.22v  0mA                                            cu to core=.52 v 8mA
cu to fe wire= .06v 0mA                                         cu to fe wire=.17 v .99mA
                                                                           fe to core=.55 v  10.6mA

The polarity seemed to reverse since my last tests.  My best readings, as you can see, are now from the iron wire to the core.  This was not true in the earlier tests.  what gives??

@ All:

Above should be the links to two of my videos dealing with earth batteries.  This is for some of the newer folks that might have missed it buried back in the topic somewhere.  Do not get confused.  These are the older experiments I did using electrodes and NOT coils.  I just thought I would bring them forward in case anyone wanted to have a look.  Thanks.
