Stubblefield coils (bifilar) and speculations

[Pirate88179]

@ All:

Hopefully, this is an enlarged photo of Jeanna's shot.  I think the large drum like thing is a large coil.  and yes, I believe the small coil to the lower left is an earth battery.  The stack of stuff on top?  I don't really know but it looks to be square in shape and wrapped in a paper like material which reminds me of a very old transformer.  Other than that, I have no idea.

@ Jeanna:

Thanks for posting that.  Whenever I tried to cut it from the main pic, it was still to large a file to post here.  I was able to play with the one you posted though...thanks.

Hey localjoe! Don't leave us!! I'm all for making an earth battery of the stubblefield design. I haven't posted much yet because I'm waiting for some wire, etc and I live FARRRR from any store

One thing I did notice missing in all the Stubblefield threads I found was an item that Timothy Thrapp alluded to when he mentioned it in an interview. It seems to me that the primary coil needs to be pulsed to act as a trap to receive in radiant energy. They way he described it seemed to be to use a magnetic switch (reed switch I suppose would work) and use the magnetism that would develop in the center rod when the wires are connected. I haven't tried it yet but from what I remember, he said when the primary wires are closed (not sure which of the 4 wires of the primary coil he was referring to) then it would develop enough charge between the copper and iron windings to induce a small magnetic field which would open the magnetic switch that would then open the circuit and repeat. I don't think I explained it right so feel free to jump in and correct me but I think it would create a 100Hz(?) oscillation that should then be in resonance with the circuit itself. Basically creating a pumping action which would then excite the outer HV coil. Anyone else see it this way or try it?
