Stubblefield coils (bifilar) and speculations

[jeanna]

I will let my probes go dry. I see there is a 20% chance of rain on thursday. After that, if it does rain, I will clock the dryness effect. I will surely be able to clock the wetness effect in another 2-3 months 

There is something else we have not really dealt with, but it probably won't make a difference if we talk about it. That is the amount of iron in our soil.

Bill, since you have always had a higher reading than I have with not exactly comparable probes  , I am wondering if you know the iron content in your soil?

Jeanna:

Good question.  I don't know.  I think I can call my local county extension office and find out though.  This is a great thought and might make a lot of difference.  I used to be a Geology major in college and I know what high iron content soil looks like. (It looks red)  This is not that.  But as to what levels there are is a very good question.  I know we have a lot of clay as the soil does not hold water very well at all.  Our main bedrock in this area is limestone hence all of the caves in this region, including Mammoth Cave (20 miles from me) which is the longest cave in the world.

I will do some research on this and post my findings.

I have always had higher mA's and volts in very dry soil.  When it rains, everything goes down, the dryer the soil, the better my numbers. 

Okay, that something I hadn't heard.  It seems we're thinking of different types of systems.  I was using heavy wires shoved into the ground about 6-10".  What are you doing?

I am using, on the north meridian, two 1" X 9" long carbon rods.  On the south meridian, I have a 5 pound block of magnesium wrapped in a bag full of potash.  The angle of the depth of the mag. block and the bottom of my rods via the distance separating them (about 15 feet) matches the magnetic dip angle for my area.

I can light 400 leds and also have lit a 48" tube and have run a Bedini motor from this set-up.

I hope this helps.  For more info, see my Youtube channel. (Pirate88179, the home of Pirate Labs)

Why 2 carbon rods?  Are they together or separated and each connected to the same Magnesium block (which is what I was thinking of trying)?

How do I determine the magnetic dip in my area (upstate NY)?

Thank you,
