Stubblefield coils (bifilar) and speculations

[protonmom]

@Bill
When you made the mag block device as shown in this photo, how did you drill the holes without the blocks catching on fire?  Do I use water on them, or just drill very slowly or what?  I have the blocks ready and waiting to put together, and unless you have come up with a better plan, I think I should make one just like the one you made.  But how do I drill the holes without destroying them?  Thanks

This is my first NS EB which I had inground, pulled it up, let it rest a bit, and it is now re-buried in a new spot.  Don't know if these readings are good or not.  Just thought I would share.  In ground now since last night.  Hopefully readings will increase as time goes by.  I will later also re-bury number 2 coil close to this one.

Jeanna, have you  tried to hook up those readings to a music program,..

What a cool idea!

I was just thinking how much some of the waves look like waveforms of music. If they didn't repeat the same all day, I would say I was hitting a radio station. These are in radio frequency so it is a concern.

It would certainly be possible. Hmmmm
Remember yesterday I said the waveforms are like fractals? So, playing these waveforms on a lower harmonic would make perfect sense and be musically similar.
Anything lower than 20Khz is audible.

There is no end to good ideas!

thank you,

BTW I am having trouble seeing your results. I did a composite pic once, and it was too hard for others to see. It is OK to have tiny pix, but would you please type in the numbers?

Your NS coil looks like the real thing!

Remember, we were never able to do much with them and we knew the invention was about something we were not doing.
I wish I had made 2 that were alike. I have 2 set apart as I saw he did, but, they are different because all mine are different.

Remember he said it was the secondary that did the work, not the copper and iron that gets all the attention in the patent.

edit
Bill lit a led from his probes-in-the-ground-EB, not his Stubblefield coil.
The galvanic difference between iron and copper, even zinc and copper is not enough to light a led.
NS used soft iron which is like black annealed iron wire... the kind that rusts. He did not use zinc. I have tried both and never got more than a galvanic reading... until now. It is the scope that has shown me what this coil is up to... more coming

Yes, Jeanna, I will post single photos from now on if that helps any.  I was trying to save space so as not to hog the forum.

Can anyone tell me whether or not the wire you use to keep animals in the yard (or out of the yard) is okay to use for the secondary winding?  (Edit:  I think it is called invisible fence elec wire, or something like that.)  I have a lot of it, and hate to throw it out.  Would like to use it for this if it will work.

Hi protonmom,
I have no idea what that fencing is.
The wire you need when you are making a secondary is called magnet or mag wire.
It is varnished with multiple layers. The covering is not strong so you need to be careful not to scratch it in the body of the secondary, but it is very thin and allows you to wind the wire closer together than if you used a plastic covered wire. But you must sand off the ends of the wire once you have finished winding.

I suspect the stuff they sell for fence wire is either not coated at all or thickly coated. But, I have never seen it.
Radio shack sells this in a package of 3 spools. 3 different thicknesses and 3 lengths.

Hazens1 gave us the name of a place that sells the wire at a much longer lengths and many gauges. here it is:

the specific page is:

Newbie wire. Nice man runs a small garage shop.

I think that is the best way to go because you will not have a long enough secondary with the RadioShack wire.
The one in the pic I posted used the whole roll of 30awg wire and it was about 1/3 the amount I needed. Part of the problem is the thickness of the primary once you have finished.

My apologies for not answering this. I missed it before.
