>>I bought plans from a particular mail order outfit that dealt with free energy years ago in the States.
What I did in a large vacant lot was:  Start with the push-in-the-ground wire-and-paper advertising sign supports made of annealed (soft) steel wire.  (Cheap and very common in America.) Then I found commercial aluminum pallet binding wire having an American wire gauge of around #2 gauge.

I found the plans I had bought posted on this thread:  Reply #40, Page 5, "free_energy_from_the _earth_plans.pdf"

What I had was probably an earlier version of the plans, having bought them about 8-10 yrs ago.  Then, with what I had, I modified the information to give me the results I had on Reply #55.

Hi all ,remember reading about placing the rods at different depths , look up your local magnetic declination/inclination and bury the rods according to it, that’s why nathan stubblefield lived on the side of a hill if I remember correctly, it also probably wouldn’t hurt to line them up according your local magnetic variation/deviation  in north south terms also.

All brilliant stuff, good work by all.

Robbo:

I have been telling folks that for years now...about the alignment.  You are totally correct.  Sure, a lot of times they still work but, to maximize the output, I have seen firsthand what good alignment on the north/south meridian and bottoms aligned to the dip angle for the area can do.  Below is a video of me lighting 400 leds from my electrodes-supercap-joule thief circuit:

I can also light a 48" tube.  I will be making more videos soon.  I have a number of videos there showing what my EB set-up can do.

I have posted this in the other earth battery topics but I don't know if it has been posted here.  This is a fantastic site that has a calculator to figure the magnetic declination and dip angle for any area on the planet.  You just type in your info and it tells you what you need to know:

Pirate88179, both your work and logic are brilliant, have you ever done a video walk through of that camera mod for your lights? , I have a low understanding of electronics but an fascinated by this facet of your work, I will start building that circuit when it makes a bit more sense ( not that you haven’t explained it well enough it’s just that I’m slow )

Respectfully  yours,

Robbo
