@ Jeanna:

I am currently (no pun intended) running the experiment we discussed.  I checked my mA's this morning and they were down.  Volts were as well.  The initial results prior to my load test were as follows:

.69 vdc
39 mA

I hooked the meter up about ten minutes ago using my clips from my test leads with the meter on the 200 mA scale.  Within 1 minute, the mA's were down to 30.  I just checked and they are now down to 21 mA.  Very slowly falling, but still falling. (Total test time as of this post is 16 minutes)  I want to see how far it will fall.  I will let you know.  I don't know why everything was so low this morning but it is what it is.  I am sort of hoping that after the load test, it will bounce back even higher than before......maybe?

I have evidence to suggest that the meter readings on the mA spikes are not a meter anomaly. Remember all of those fuses I had been blowing? (They are very hard to find in this town)  I went through three of them.  Prior to burying my coil, the mA's were consistent at about 19.  Well, I was used to using the 20 mA scale when checking amps because, as you know, my electrodes were only producing 5-9 mA toward the end.  The coil at 19 mA was very steady there in the house.  Well, here is what I think happened.  Once I got it good and wet, and it had sat for a bit, I tested it and ...poof...blown fuse.  It happened again about a week later.  Finally, after blowing one last fuse, I figured out (duh) that I should probably be using the 200 mA scale so I did.  The coil was still consistant at 19 mA  BUT I saw a spike of 30 mA for about 3 seconds then it settled to 19.  This spike was real power, I believe, because it was blowing the fuses.  Do you agree?  I was not able to see it go over 20 when I was on the 20 scale because it would blow the fuse.

So, I believe that when I see mA's in the 90's or upper 80's, that is real, for as long as it lasts.

Now my test has been running for almost 30 minutes. I will run out and check the meter.

15.7 mA  and holding!  I watched the meter for a full minute.  Not moving downward any more.  I will leave it hooked up for a while longer and see.  When I conclude the test, I will check the volts, which I expect will be way down.  As I said earlier, maybe this will "draw" more power from somewhere?  I will see how long it takes to recover, and what the numbers are then as well.

@ Jeanna:

OK, I ran the test for one hour and here is the results: 14.9 mA.  I am letting it go for a bit longer just in case. (Will this run my battery down in the meter?)  Then I will wait with everything unhooked and check later this afternoon to see if it recovered, and by how much.  I am still searching for my records on this coil that you inquired about in the other topic. (Number of winds, etc)  I will post them when they are located.  (I know I have them....somewhere)


OK, I just disconnected everything and checked the volts: .66 vdc.  Then, after about 1 minute after disconnection, the mA's were back up to 38, and were falling...slowly counting down.  As I said, I will re-check this afternoon.  I don't know what any of this means but, it may be useful data somewhere along the line.

Have you ever left your meter hooked up on the amps setting for any extended period of time?  It would be interesting to see.  I thought it would go to 0 but it did not.  At least, not in an hour anyway.

Yes, this is just what I have been seeing and trying to describe. I am so glad you are repeating it.

right.

I will return shortly. I will go to the RLC chart java page. I plan to get some screenshots to show you the curve I think we are seeing. oh thank you , Bill!
