Stubblefield coils (bifilar) and speculations

[resonanceman]

I guess they have the bags too .......but they  don't say much about them

here is one  with  prices for bags ......... and  charts  for how much  pipe  or tank  it can protect

Here is one  with a PDF catalog near  the bottom
http://www.galvotec.com/magnesium-anodes.htm

The  catalog  gives some  basic information 
does   500 to 540 Amps/Hrs./Lb.mean  what I think it means?

@ Gary:

Yes, I believe it does.  I wish the old link I had still worked.  It had a great description of the anodes, with and without the bags, and prices.  The bags hold some sort of mixture that basically draws moisture to the anode.  From what I have read, the small units will put out good amps for several years before being consumed.  I am interested in trying one with a carbon rod (furthest away on the galvanic chart) and placing them in the ground on north/south line the way we have before.  I suspect we can get good power with limited destruction of either cathode or anode.

If you Google "magnesium anode bags" you will get a good explanation on the mixture in the bags. It is nothing harmful from what I can see.

I realize this is not related to our work on the coils but it would be fun to get some good power out of the ground for free anyway.

@ All:

Not directly related to our topic but then again, maybe it is.  I thought folks would like to see the power of nature.  Tesla was correct, energy is everywhere! (Quoted in bold below)


Lightning can happen as a result of a volcanic eruption. As the hot ash rises through the cooler atmosphere, transfer of charge occurs. This excess of electrons within the cloud makes it act like a capacitor, and should the conditions be correct, huge electrical discharges may be observed as bolts of lightning during volcanic eruptions. It seems that the Chaiten volcano's recent activity has created the perfect conditions for such a show, allowing photographers in the region to capture some stunning images.

All,magnesium lawn mower frames, and mag rims come to mind.can be bought cheeeeeeep at scrap metal yards,Avoid the middle man.(,90 - 1.00 usd NO! MORE than 1.20 per lb) magnesium can also be used in the stubbelfield coil instead of zink.Or what you call galvenize.Andy

As  far as I know  almost all so called  mag  wheels  are actually aluminum .
