I've been watching what others do here on posting pic's. I just placed 400 x 400 give or take and I think it can go more. Has anyone tried 600 x600 pixels?

Thanks,

I like the size you are using.
I have a smallish screen.
Yes, I could probably be ok with a larger pic, but these are very viewable.
It is really nice to see a pic without needing to move the cursor.
And there are some people who use really small screens.
I think the size you are using is great.

QuoteWith the new larger posting limits I usually use 640x480. A while back the size of posts was more limited and then I used 320x240.

Thanks for the confirmation, so I can go larger yet. So I should be able to do 700 x 700 give or take and still fit the page.

I'm a pic fanatic, same as audio/video. Quality is what I'm after and what I would like to show. I can give that to all in download form, but most have expressed a great dislike to downloading pic's. So I'm doing my best to find the happy medium.

Thanks,

t3t4,
I think some of the change in results has to do with daily fluctuations which are often 60% from one day to the next, but  can be more than 100%.

My results from today showed lower inductance related voltage than previously. The plain EB which only varies a very small amount doesn't show much that is different, or it may even be a little higher since it rained all night and the powdery dryness was replaced with conductivity.

But, the EER with the 2 coils at the ends was down today.

There is a lot to this.
I am glad you are sharing your results.

thank you,

jeanna

edit,
btw, the stubblefield coils both have 360 turns.
60 might be better, but it might not be.

EDIT
PLEASE keep it below 600 x 600!!
I cannot stand the sideways scrolling that is needed when a very large picture controls the width of the page. The word wrap is not handled properly anymore.!!

My findings today are most strange.
We had a lot of rain yesterday and last night.
My 2x4x11' pole for my aluminum plates was really soaked (wet).
While measuring the voltage potential of the wires from my 2 plates I accidentially touched one wire to the wooden pole itself.
To my surprise the voltage potential went from 200mVolt to over 900mV.
So I started measuring the wooden pole and it showed over 700mV itself.
I started measuring the wooden fence, fence post etc. and they all showed over 700mV.  After moving the ground rod a little I was able to get over 900mV from the fence post to ground rod.
My first thought was "why use aluminum plates when wooden 2x4's work better".  As the 2x4 dried out from the sun today the voltage potential went down some. 
This needs more testing.

If any of you have a wooden post or fence please try to measure the voltage potential between it and a ground rod.

My ground rod is 3 foot by 5/8's threaded zinc rod driven 1.5 feet into the ground and is ~4 feet North from the fence post.

@ jeanna,

My original coil/inductor was made of TV coax cable which is much heavier but also different wire. I had no were near as many turns on it. This original coil is over at my shop in a box, so to be "green" I didn't think it was all that important to waste the fuel. Truth be told, I didn't feel like running over to my shop to get it!

But I have a question, what exactly do you mean by EER? I only know this as an "energy efficiency ratio", but I think you mean something different when you use this abbreviation. Can you clear that up for me?

Thank you,
