Enough for Stubblefield to run the telephone system of Murry, Kentucky, light his farm and heat his home.  We, of course, did not achieve these kinds of results...yet.

Tariel Kapanadze, using a somewhat related but different approach, is achieving 100 kw output thus far.  (See our topic on him and his work for more info)

Some of us are gearing up to give it a go once again to see what we can do.  Join us here, it should be fun.

@guruji,
I agree with Bill.
join us and we can all accomplish this together.

I want to repeat the part where the farm he powered did not have a dishwasher dvd player and hair driers or washing machine in it.
So, powering his farm might be a little less heavy on the volts and amps than we use today.
In fact, in the mid 1900's people used way less than we do now and they did have all those things (not the dvd) even though tubes used a lot more amps than transistors do.

@jim,
I am using the acer with ubuntu on overunity these days. I will try again, but last time I didn't see 3g on the ubuntu list.

I totally switched my overunity use to an acer booting ubuntu. I got tired of seeing that the last place I uploaded from was my documents folder. (It never is cuz on a mac you do not have to store your data in a documents folder.) It made me laugh... I have some old knitting patterns and a random pic or 2 in there. I hope someone likes knitting!

@All,
In the back of my mind I am becoming more and more convinced that the only reason we use and need to count amps is because we use such incredibly low volts at an astoundingly low frequency.
At these rates high amps is really the only way to power anything.
I am further thinking that we are going to need to invent a way to use the high frequency high volts for the toaster and other things we are using amps for.

Thanks to tesla the lights are already invented. Now, what did Mr. Stubblefield actually do??

To me that is just more fun.

@ guruji
The question we would all like answered.

How much volts and amps this stubblefield battery produced?
Anyone can tell me please?
Thanks

Short answer is, in this present day, the answer is NO.
No-one alive today has been able to make it work the way Stubblefield was able to do.

This does not meen to say it will never be done, but, if you think about this a moment, Stubblefield was able to run his household appliances with his invention, I believe the voltage in his part of the world was 120volts or so, how much wattage, well that depends on the cross sectional area of the wire he was using, the thicker the wire, the more amperage is avaliable, so since we have not seen any originals, we simply dont know for sure.

@All,
I have been busy with my cut off wheel and hacksaw, turning a bit of gear into something it was never designed for, ohhhh I love it.


@Bill,
I enjoyed the conversation yesterday morning with you.

@freepow
It was great speaking to you last night for the first time too.

What is electricme doing? being destructive, eeeee ha.

Jeanna:

Just a thought.  High freq. and high volts would almost describe our microwave ovens.  Really high freq. and fairly high volts due to the MOT.  I don't think they do toast well though, ha ha. (Very good for reviving stale bread and rolls.)

I saw a Youtube video of a toaster that runs off a USB port in a laptop.  (It was a product review) That can't take too many amps to run I would not think.  Maybe we should try playing with one of those.

Oh yes, this is right!
And the ha*rp is a microwave heater according to Nick Begich.
So, it does sound very plausible, then.

Wow... that is pretty amazing. That was all dc, but still going in the right direction with low amps.

I keep finding my thoughts are turning to immersion heaters.
These are a very thick coil of copper or aluminum wire made into about 7 or 8 turns at 1 inch diameter with each end connecting to one plug end. (fused probably too.)
My mother always had one when we went on a skiing vacation so she could make hot tea in the hotel room. You had to be very careful to only plug it in after the coil was immersed in the water.
All I can ever find is that they need alternating current to make the center get hot.
Of course we know eddy currents make heat. But unless immersed these are air core.
So, my thoughts keep wondering if we could make one of these that runs off a joule thief secondary.
Could the center (of the induction heater where the eddy currents are)  can get hot enough to give off a continuous high amount of heat which could then be transferred to heat water  hmm or maybe toast?  etc.

And of course, in his later years did Nathan Stubblefield make heat enough to cook with his?


Thank you, Bill,
