Nice Video Jeanna...I'm not scope friendly yet.

@ everybody,

I wonder if you combined cells of NS alignment with cells of an angular or a EW alignment, would that give you amps ?

Regards...

Wow, that simple?

I guess I will try it tomorrow.

A bunch of iron wires in the ground connected to the zinc nail?

You mentioned a cap, and I was not sure if that were a necessary part of the recipe?
Is the cap necessary?
If so,
Did you try this with the cap and without the paper clips?

It was a cap alone that allowed pirate88179 to light the led that very first time. That is why I am asking about that.

Thanks for so much excitement,

jeanna

@ Jeanna, the cap is part of my JT circuit
these measurements (added photos above) are straight off the EB leads, without the JT connected.
the cap may no longer be necessary, i havent tried yet since i jacked the current up so high. they were needed before when i was only working with 3ma.

uploaded a video to YouTube, demonstrating the JT in operation.
the LEDs are a 7-piece Bar.

15-20 more paperclips and i think i can get these LEDs to "appear to" stay lit, even with my crappy JT.

Smokey:

Holy crap that is a good level of mA's!  I will go watch your video now but please feel free to post some photos here of your set-up too.  From your description, it sounds like this might be fairly easy for many, many folks to replicate.

Paperclips?  Wow, nice going.
