Hi everyone,

Spring is here and soon the soil will be ready to start new cells or revive the old ones. I just found a site that sells cotton wrapped copper electrical wire by the foot or spool to start the season anew.

My son-in-law found a guy that has a few rolls here and he will buy all that he has. I just hope it is soon as I am ready for a few wraps.

Take care,

Michel

Hi Michelinho,
Good find.
But
I just had a look. I noticed this:

Our wire is manufactured with real cotton or rayon braid, for an authentic vintage look and feel; yet, beneath the cloth covering, is a PVC insulating jacket that meets UL standards for heat resistance up to 105 degrees Centigrade, so you can be assured the wire you are installing is safe. (Please check the details of the specific wire(s) you are considering buying for information on whether or not it is UL-rated and the heat and voltage ratings for that wire.)

darn.

Anyway,
I just got a hand held scope and I will be checking out all my NS generators soon too. It is thawed here, but way too rainy for a new scope!

@ Jeanna:

Good catch on the insulation under the cotton.  I didn't notice that.  That would make it not work for this application from what we know.  If this wire was cheap enough, maybe one could slide the cotton insulation off in a long length and then slide it back over some solid copper wire?

Great news on your scope.  I saw that over on the joule thief topic.  I have the latest All electronics catalog and saw that same scope there.  A little too pricey for me right now but...maybe in the future.  Best of luck with it.  I can't wait to see your scope shots on both the NS coils and the JT circuits.  It will tell us a lot.

@ All:

Crap...it was in the 70's a few days ago, then we had some bad storms and now it is in the 30's again!!!  I thought spring was here already.  I am ready to plant my earth battery garden now.
