I tryed your setup  using the led circuit from a garden solar light. my setup south to north using

steel galvinised plate for the negative electrode and a copper pipe as positive electrode.these

were 10 feet apart wired in the led circuit it worked a nice white glow.  also tryed this 2 feet apart and it

still worked also I noticed that alternating brightness you were talking about  very interesting.

this was done from 6.00 pm to 11.00 pm the led was very bright at 6.00 pm then from about 10.00 pm 

it started to dim down and stayed at this level   to about 11.00 pm .


                                                                                   

@nightshade,
I apologise for the late reply.
It's good you are getting some results with your Cu and Fe setup, have you been able to charge the 1.2v nicad as well?

I'm going to try using a steel plate as the - (neg) just to see what will happen.

Last week
Been fooling around with some solar garden cells, I soldered 27 single tiny cells in series.
Each cell is about 2" square and in sunlight got about 45volts in milliamps on a very overcast day.
Seperated this string into 3 sets, each putting out around 18volts, connected up a 12v drill nicad battery pack which charged up OK after about 12 hrs.


Yesterday
I had a bit of thin flat copper laying about, 454mm x 180mm so I burried it vertically, found a 12" diameter lead anti turmite shield used on wooden stumps in this area, so this became the - electrode. Hooked up my meter and read 0v  ha ha.

Next I placed my 5 carbon electrodes, (wired in parallel) next to the copper sheet, then beried a zinc plate next to the lead - and read off .2 climbed about .3 volts.
A storm came through later on, as the ground got wet, the readings went up to .5v as the ground dried out the reading went down.
I connected a LED to it but there wasn't enough current to even make it glow.


The Lead and zinc share a commom earth connection
The Cu and Carbon have a seperate connection.

I bring the energy into the house via a 3 core extension lead, thats where I connect my led and meters to it.
Sure beats being in the sun or rain or fiddling around with a torch.

Green wire = (neg) Lead + Zinc 0v or earth connection.
Brown wire = (pos) Carbon 
Blue   wire = (pos)  Copper plate

Hello all!
I haven't had time to read through all 200+ pages so I thought I would just ask and apologize if this has already been posted. I'm running a little thin on funds to buy materials. I have some nails and screws and a small spool of #18 Copper wire and the requisite soldering iron etc. Can I rig something up with what I currently have so I can play around with earth batteries? Would making a spring-like coil from the copper wire substitute for the pipe? I have a high-brightness LED. Would that work to test this since I do not have a meter any more?

Bill,

I know, from the thread, that people are learning a lot of new stuff. Actually this is a good thing, because when you already “know”, it is difficult to “learn” new things. Hell, most people who are professional in this area would promptly dismiss this issue as galvanic without thinking for more than a second.
What separates the inventors at the 1800's from today is that little was known at the time, everybody was experimenting and analyzing things without preconceptions.

Like someone already said on overunity, lets keep our eyes open, be prepared to revise what we know, but we cannot throw everything overboard.

I dont have high hopes for that pulse, because there are lots of possible interferences. A good thing NS had in his time was a clean electromagnetic environment. To learn what he learned, we must see things a bit like it was at his time. So, I doubt he could “see” the pulses at MHz level, but maybe he could hear the “pops”. I am going to make some measurement at a remote location to check for this.

I already noticed something that makes a lot more sense and would be noticed with the equipment NS had: when you *make* the circuit to measure the earth battery's voltage, the measures jump around for a while. I would love to see this in the scope, but when I plug it to earth I have the 50 Hz component blocking everything. I really hate this scope! I wish I could change the battery, but I cannot open it without losing the oficial calibration seal.

Lots of rain today, so there is little I can do.


As for AC measures, he is some more info:
The “form factor” for sinewave is 1,11 times the average of the rectified signal, that is what the multimeter's should use. The trouble is, that the equipment can only rectify half the wave, so it will only get half the average. To make the calculations it must multiply the resulting average by 2 and then apply the form factor.

This means that, if you measure a DC value of 1,551 V, after rectifying it you would have an average of 1,551 V â€" Vd (diode voltage drop). Lets say the diode has 0,3 V drop, then you really measure 1,251 V that is multiplied by 2 and by 1,11. That gives you a 2,77 reading at AC.
Thats what I get for my multimeter, and thats what you had with yours (a while back).

Best regards,

Ram

"keep our eyes open." Most definitely. I don't know what I'm doing so I figure any result will be exciting to me and even more so because I don't know what "isn't possible." Great things have been accomplished by people who didn't know that those great things weren't possible.

thanks for the reply no I havent tryed charging a nicad.  but iv had the copper pipe and the galvinised

steel plate in a new area for the last two weeks

noticed that the voltage seems to jump around abit from about dc volts 0.96 to 1.02 and the current at

the moment is 2.25ma and the ac volts are 1.4 funny thing is went out the

other night and attached the circuit and the white led lit up and it was as bright as you would get if you

were using a 1.5 volt battery. now I have seen close to this in

the past but never this bright.now before this happened I was up on you tube and came across a video

some one filmed about a meteor that landed over

canada at about the same time. I came across an article a while ago on the internet a scientist was

talking about objects hitting the earth and the kenetic energy

that is transfered talking small scale here and he was speculating on the affects of the magnetic

currents flowing in the earth. info just seemed to spark the gray matter.
