Stubblefield coils (bifilar) and speculations

Jeanna:

I didn't and have not used any diodes.  I know Jim does but, when I think about it, to me they are sort of like a resistor in that they take a little power to work.  Have you tried with just the EB and the supercap and led?  Try hooking up the EB to the supercap and wait a minute or two and then use your clips to add the led. (in parallel to the cap and EB) I'll bet it lights up and, now that you are drawing from the EB, it will appear to raise the output to keep up with it.
You will get it soon I know and yes, it is a Great feeling.

Yes, I have tried all those things. I even tried the diode thing earlier this year.
I think the point is this:

The earth currents are going both ways. If I can only catch the ones going into the cap and not allow any to leave the cap except to the joule thief, I should get the light.
I got nothing by putting the diode at the end of the cap lead and connecting the jt to that end.
I had to connect the jt to the cap directly.

So, the diode let the electricity into the cap but when something was pulling it out, it was not allowed to go through the diode's reverse, but instead went into the jt .


When Jim described the faster switching I didn't understand, but now I realize the earth currents must be switching very quickly and with the slower diode, I am missing a lot of opportunity to collect it .

0.937v is very low. Your 'currents' are much higher. I will get it soon. I just don't want to do it by mistake.

Hey, why not?  That's what I did, ha ha. (seriously)

Yes, of course. Kind of like dropping the wire and watching the leds go ablaze in my 2 tier circuit.

What I meant by mistake, which is a strange expression, was that I didn't want to claim I had something by mistake. So, when I found the mistake which was not at all to do with the circuit, but the neighbor's sodium light, I deleted it. Not wanting to claim I had found anything when that claim was a mistake.

I plan to either just change the diodes on this JT or
make a jt just for this EB.
I actually did that when I got the germanium transistors from gadgetmall. It did not do anything then, but now, I realize my mistake with the diode, I might incorporate that germanium transistor into my EBJT.

The maritime weather has returned today, so I can think and do. I just might!

This is another step not unlike droppng the wire.

I took an old rusty NS generator from the shoebox. This is one that had a small output, but always did remarkable things.
And this time is no exception.

I took it out of the shoebox because long ago, I had wrapped a coil around one of the wires; and last night ist wrapped a little wire around a functioning wire of one of his newest coils, so I wanted to look at this thing with my scope.

I added 2 copper wires to the stiff and old copper and iron wires that may be called the 10's. (One might be the other end called the 5.)

I planned to connect this to a joule thief and had the scope probes in place when I turned on my newest working joule thief project.

I happened to look at the scope...

Ya gotta watch it!
