Stubblefield coils (bifilar) and speculations

[Pirate88179]

@ Jeanna:

Way back near the beginning of Joe's topic somewhere there was a post about some Russian scientists that measured the frequency of the earth's electrical energy at 5 cycles per second.  Very low.

I have always checked all of my measurements from the cu to the core, or the fe to the core.  Never (almost never) any of the wires to each other.  On my first coil, I leaned to do it this way as the readings are always higher, much higher between these two points. Now, yesterday, just for the hell of it I did check and still, very low numbers.  Something like.49 vdc and 10 mA's.  It is the same exact readings no matter which two wires I use. (Not iron to iron or cu to cu of course) I mean if I use the ones from the beginning of the wind or the end, same readings exactly.  I like the numbers better from the core!!!!  If you look closely in the pics you can see my little alligator clip attached to the head of the core.  Hard to see as my pics lose so much resolution from being reduced to 50kb.  You can also see the earth is damp but not soaked, even drier today and my numbers are heading the right way.  A friend of mine just stopped by and I just hooked up the meter to show him the coil.  I told him to read off the numbers on the amps setting.  He said, "Holy crap!! that just read 82mA's"!  That is my highest mA reading to date.  Now, it jumped down to 72 real fast but he could not believe it.

I was thinking, for what you were going to try it would be easy to use lamp cord. (Better known as zip cord)  This is available by the foot at most home supply stores.  It is just two copper wires that are insulated and stacked one on top of the other already.  Since it is flat, you could just stand it up on its side and wind away.  It is made of stranded copper not solid though, not sure what, if any, difference this might make.

I think I thought of a way to wind my pancake coil using the cotton string as before.  I like the idea of making the "jig" using two disks.  This might not be too bad to wind.  I guess I will find out.

for a copper / copper  pancake  zip wire might  be  ok ............but the insulation  is a little thick
maybe speaker wire  would  be better ......or better monster  speaker  wire .

I have decided  to  rebuild my original  coil into  a pancake coil .

I am  going to leave the  insulation the same  so it is  more of a  apples to apples comarison


I found  at Lowes   what  to me might be  almost idea  for  a backing for the bigger  wires  at least .

It  is  PVC  hardware  net .   ........  it was  right next to the chicken wire .

The  kind  I  got has  about  1/2 in  spaces in between ..........maybe  to far apart for the smaller  wires ............but  Jeanna  knows  about   other backings .       


I am going to use  waxed dental  floss  for  thread .    it is very strong ........and   the  wax will tend to keep it from slipping

for a needle  I will  be using  1/4 in  polyethylene  tubing .......a straw would work for a while ......  but this tubing  is alot  stronger .

@ Gary:

Well, in the big scheme of things, still very small, but in our world, pretty decent amps reading.  You are right about the thick insulation on the zip cord but yes, speaker wire was something I thought of a little later and possibly, there is something else even better.  I just thought it would be easier since they are already insulated from each other and side by side, which could be turned to be top and bottom.  You might check at a home center where they have many types of wire on spools...Lowe's, Home depot, etc.  Not much in the way of electronics supplies there but, we might find something
in home electrics that would suit our purposes.

I saw your post about my urinating on my coil.  Don't rule that out just yet.  If I thought it might raise the mA readings, I would do it in a heartbeat.  Ha ha.  I just hope it keeps slowly creeping up.

Right now I am going to  keep  working on  copper / iron  pancake coils  .... maybe later   I will do one or 2 with copper / copper just to see how much  different they are from each other.
