Stubblefield coils (bifilar) and speculations

[Pirate88179]

A buddy of mine on Youtube posted this and asked me to bring it to your attention:

He did not film this and it is in some language I do not recognize but it is what appears to be an earth battery, joule thief, spark gap (Jeanna will like this) and God knows what else and they are lighting about a dozen incandescent bulbs from it.

It is a 7 part series (the link above is for part 1) and maybe someone here will be able to figure out what they are saying.  It is very interesting to say the least.  I can't quite figure out what they are doing even though I recognize some of the components.

Hmm, that looks really interesting, and I've only seen the first part yet. That language is really uncommon to hear, maybe it is some form of African or an Arabian like language? It seems like he is placing a normal car radiator in that hole.....

But I am pretty sure that we need to think completely different in terms of normal current electricity if we want to understand how earth batteries and radios works. Something to think about; Art Bells huge radio antenna could generate enormous sparks of current and voltage, and it happened only when he closed the switch. Maybe the reason to why I can light up a neon with the ground is that the elevated room creates a potential from the ground, as a result from height. Maybe you could try to put a neon bulb between the terminals of your battery Bill?

WTG!!!!!  Hey, it has a JT so also post this in the JT topic.  Also, maybe on Jim's topic as well.  Folks need to see this stuff and that it DOES work and you CAN do USEFUL things with an EB and a JT. (I call making free light useful, call me crazy)

Now add a supercap and....lookout!!!

Very well done Jeanna.

Hi Bill,
You beat me to it,
I just went back and it is dark enough to see nothing.
I guess the resin was picking up the neighbor's sodium light.
It was a nice feeling. I will have it for real soon, maybe tomorrow.
I will follow jim's suggestions and use the 4007 diodes on both sides.
It was the same supercap you used last year.

thanks Bill,

jeanna
