I seem to be having a hard time getting answers to my questions, so I thought I would try my luck over here.  Can you tell me whether or not the wire that is used for "invisible radio wave pet fencing" could be used successfully as the secondary winding on a NS EB???  It is the stuff you buy in a kit with the little flags.  I don't have the kit nor the box it came in, just the wire and flags.  I was hoping to use it on my coil, but was waiting to see if ANYONE would answer my questions.  I thought I read somewhere that the secondary wire was supposed to be thinner than the primary, and have a lot more windings.  This wire is definitely thinner than my primary.
So, in YOUR opinion, would this work?  I thank you in advance.

what about something like this, although I am not really into batteries you could hook up an array of large battery cells to power your house or sell power back if you had enough cells.

you could also make a sludge drain for the Iron Oxide to keep your electrolyte clean once in a while.

Has anyone actually made an NS EB without a joule thief or cap?Please direct me to the appropriate post if there is one.

Yes, I did.  I bought a plan from Creative Science and built a system from their recommendations.

I alternated heavy gauge steel and aluminum wires 15 feet apart.  With co-ax cable I found, I connected the steel wires to each other and the aluminum ones, too.

The negative side(I forget which one) went to a solid earth ground.  The positive side went to the positive terminal of a battery.  Open voltage was 2 V after 2 hrs., whereas it should have been logically grounded.

Further experiments by dedicated individuals might improve on this.

Also, in the NS Farm photo....why is the black man's legs cut off on the far left?  Is that one of those smudged out photos like you see in the Mars anomolies?  I know he wasn't just floating there in the air.  Anyone have the original photo for comparison?

I have and so have many others.  Now, as to where those posts are....I have no idea but they are there.  I know you have read all of them....twice no less, so you know what I mean when I say that I would not know where to begin to find them.  I never used a supercap or a JT on any of my NS coils, and they all worked very well.  My larger one worked much better, of course.

Bill, thank you.  Well, then, I suppose it is time for a third reading only this time I will take NOTES!!!  It is just wonderful that you actually got one to work all on it's own.  I will search for those posts until I find them.  I started taking notes on the Joule forum, and wish I had taken notes on THIS one, and on yours also.
So much to learn.  So little time.  So many projects I would love to do...and I am so far behind the rest of you.  If you happen to find the post where you talk about your working EB please let me know.  Thank you very much.
