Ha Ha, might get zapped,  yep I heard stories out this way about gents at the local going outside for a relieve, and someone decided to hook a ign coil to the fence. Aparently electrons can travel up against the flow of stream peeeee and Im told it does hurt a bit. ROFL

Saw mythbusters trying to prove or dis-a-prove this one, the bauldy headed 1 was holding his jewels in a pain full way in this episode, so it must be true.


Now, back to stubblefield stuff, I came across something (whilt I was looking 4 PWM stuff and made) that us all might be interrested in.
As we know, NS wound his coils in a biffiar action, I saw in a post in stan meyers PWM stuff by another chappie, he had taken a single wire, doubled it over and wound it on a former biffiar just as NS did. Only thing is, it was just copper, not copper and iron wire.
Gotta find this addy and will post it here.

@ all
Knowing we in the past have mentioned about CROs, and the cost of them, etc, I kept my eye out for a simple circuit for making a very simple CRO. Nothing fancy.
All you need is a working tube, then go to this web site http://www3.telus.net/chemelec/Projects/Oscilloscope/Scope.htm and download it.

Free is always good!  At least, it is to me.

Over the last weekend I did a bit of browsing and came across a certain Daniel Cook from 1871 vintage. What took my attention, is his methods, similar to NS, he must of been in touch with him, anyway, I downloaded the pdf, which has a lot of other stuff as well.

He was working on a similar setup to Nathan Stubblefield, but not the same. Reading here on pages 11-40 to 11-42 at the following web address http://www.free-energy-info.com/chapter11.pdf he says he has better results by winding on his coils at least 1000 turns of wire on a iron core. Ther iron core can be a solid core or it could be made of several smaller iron lengths.

He mentiones a resistor connected to sustain the "battery" so it will not have to be restarted, there is a mention of "iron cores" and be insulated with "silk" or shellak, (jeanna you may be correct,( remember our silk and cotton postings     ) and on the right parth).

Now he also connected a pair of his "coils" crosslinked fashion, it seems to create a self generating oscillating coil. although he managed to get just 1 coil running.
Reading further he mentions that the size of the coils, (crossectional area) also has a big bearing on the current output.

He mentions there are Primary and Secondary coils, same as NS.

Anyway, its just my 2 cents worth, but we have all been looking for anything that could give us a clue for our setups.

This is also relavent for those at your site, if you want to copy it to there, please do. after all we are all working for the same outcome, jim

@ epiphany
I have been reading your areial wire setup, nice. The extra length is working, what would happen if you made up a couple of big flat disks and put them at the top of your aerial, I wonder if that would give you some capatance.
I think if you wanted to tap into radient energy, if you drive some nails in a length of wood, then use a free wire end, drag it fast from each nail, from left to right, the making and breaking of the contacts forms a square wave giving sharp pulses.
Maybe that could kick start it.
