Energy Reciever design

@ SmOky2:

Have you read the thread Earth Battery experiments?  Have you seen some of the videos there? (including mine)  I think we have proved, at least to my satisfaction, that this is more than just galvanic reaction.  I like your explanation about the back emf, I have never heard that before.  But, when I first tried this, why did I get voltage from two metals of the same composition? (copper pipe north, copper pipe south)  If I put them into salt water....nothing right?  I am now getting about 1.8 vdc and 2.7 vac with my small setup.  I have read that this is higher than pure glavanic reaction can do.  Please read the thread over there as it sounds like you have a lot to add to the discussion.  I can light one LED and I have 50 more on order.  We are all looking at ways to boost the volts and amps...coils, arrays, etc.  I would like to know more about the back EMF that you mentioned if you have the time.  I am fascinated by all of this.

In thinking about this, I hypothisized that maybe there is current running through the earth and by placing stakes in the ground with a wire in between, you are just giving it an easier path than going through the earth. If the current is wanting to go from north to south, that would explain the greater current/voltage if aligned. This would make sense if what Pirate said about copper north and south giving off a voltage as well. One way to test this would be to just place a wire in the ground at each end and see if you get voltage. Please comment. I am going to try this once the ground thaws here in Minnesota.

What if we take those two copper pieces
put them into a (roughly) equal solution of hemetite, gypsum, augite, quartz, NaCl.

would they then still be inert?

has this anything to do with this topic?
just wondering
thanks

@ All:

Just a quick update on the earth battery work.  We are now using bifilar coils (with iron core) copper wire and iron wire as did Stubblefield.  Now I am getting .9 vdc and 19 mA.  Another guy in our topic is getting about the same vdc but 35 mA.
The beautiful thing with these coils is that they are stand alone units and can be wired in parallel or series without the shorting problem we encountered with the single electrode approach.  Off topic a bit but possibly relevant to your topic.
Tesla's fingerprints are all over this design and he knew Stubblefield and had some dealings with him.
