Stubblefiled & Meucci

There are statements in here that allude to the answers.

Say what? Current-carrying conductors vibrate more strongly in magnetic fields produced by their own currents  

He developed strange chemical coatings; using saltwater, graphite, soapstone, wax, muriatic acid, asbestos, sulfur, and various bonding resins to treat wire conductors. Wire lines, specially treated by Meucci, had current rectifying abilities. These absorbed and directed both terrestrial and aerial electricity into the line, a one-way charge valve. Technically what he created is a large surface area diode.( Moray)

Keely made his own wires too. Trexar: superconductive wire.

Interesting topic but see the Earth battery topic, we went through all of this and replicated these devices with great success about a year and a half ago. Mine is still running out in my garden and now I am going to hook up the Joule Thief circuit to it to run many many LEDs or 48" long tubes for free.

You might have replicated the battery portion, but that only served to start the process.  I haven't seen anyone replicate what he did as far as power output, and getting the ground to "glow".  It was even stated that his system could at certain times be disconnected from the batteries and still run.  Thrapp also explained this, saying if you used it as a battery in the conventional sense it would act as a galvanic cell and deteriorate after a couple years.  Notice Stubblefield used a motor in conjunction, to serve as the "on" and "off."  Thrapp never did describe how exactly to configure it though..I believe the battery was a sort of pump.  I believe his cell was acting as a antenna in the ground, and when stimulated could increase its effective aperture.

Have a look at this site  which three of us set up on Louis Rota's Universal earth current.
http://www.wikirota.org/en
I personally visited Rota's laboratory and dug up one of Rota's ground antenna or "blocs" as he called them and took it to pieces.

The reason why nobody has success these days is that none of this stuff can be done on with "mickey mouse" input powers. Rota (much like Tesla) used high power systems. Rota's earth current excitation used between 2  to 10 KW produced by large induction coils. Look at the size of the cables leading to the buried multi-metallic ground antennas or blocs as he called them, in the photographs. Rota succeeded in injecting thousands of amps of RF into these blocks. He found he could gradually increase the RF current flowing into the blocks over time a process he called "synchronisation" which he attributed to the metal of the blocks become activated or synchronised as he termed it, to the RF excitation.
Stubblefield is supposed to have lighted lamps from his ground probes, and Rota did something similar (the specification for the lamps is on the wikirota site) all these people of that era thought on a huge scale, it was the age of brute force (many Kilowatts of power) like Tesla's experiments. Rota belonged to the same period. At one stage in his youth he studdied  Prof. Righi one of the early pioneers in early radio. Also remember that RF amplification was pretty well non existent.

Rota was employed for a brief period after WW1 by the National  Physical Laboratory in the UK to investigated the "concentration of the rays using the earth as a channelling agent" as a weapon of war, basically to disable aircraft engines.
