kevolts,.  What does seem to increase milliamps is extending the wire in length in a northern direction.  I will be doing another experiment soon on my south connection to see whether mass or length has the greater effect on increasing power on that side.  So far mass and even surface area has had a lot less effect on power than distance.

Hello everybody

It has been a long time sense  I  have been on this thread.

I have been reading alot lately  trying to get a handle on what is going on with Teslas Hairpin circuit

I bought   a book  that also had a chapter in it about earth batterys  and Stubblfield

It turns  out I had read it before online..... so I am sure that there is a link to it somewhere in this thread.

I  reread  it today..........I got  some new  ideas  based on what I have learned lately about radiant energy.

It is  now  very clear to me that Tesla and Stubblfield  were both  using non conventional  power......
It  is electrostatic rather than electromagnetic

I do not  have time to read all the posts that I missed here.......so I am  going to ask a question and hope that  you have not been over this a hundred times already.

If I understand   bifilar windings ....... I believe that they have more capacitance than a regular coil ....... if this is true.........just maybe  Stubbfield mostly made a better  capacitor.

Has  anyone  tried  thinking of the  currents in the earth as purely electrostatic?

A  simple  ground  rod would  work  to tap a small amount of electrostatic  energy from the earth

A larger ground  would  be  better.

My theory is ......as the electrostatic  waves pass  a given point ........ they charge everything. in the ground........then they move on.
This  leaves  a  small AC signal on a wire or ground rod

The  ground  rod could be thought of as an antenna in this application.
The better  your antenna ......the more power you can pick up.

The problem   with tapping  this energy........at least  as long as we are thinking  of electromagnetic  energy is   the  beter the antenna ( our ground )  the better it drains  off any signal it does pick up.

I think the  solution  is to  remember that it is electrostatic in nature.
All we are looking for is a small AC signal

We would need  a capacitor connected to the ground ( antenna )
This  cap would have to be the  right size......to big and it will dampen or eliminate  the  voltage  fluctuations
If it is to small it will block  part of the power...... like a current limiting  cap.

The  idea is  to block all DC   and let the AC pass


Now ........ at first glance it may sound like if I am right about this......it would  be good  to drop the bi metal thing.

I am not sure that would  be good.

I once  read  about making  a small antenna that worked like a much larger  antenna  by powering it .....simply  adding a small DC voltage  to the antenna.........it somehow " sucks " the signal to it.
This article said that the antenna can  function  as if it was up to 100 times larger.
Of  course  with a regular  antenna  we are talking about electromagnetic  waves.
If  electrostatic  waves do the same or  are even more attracted to the DC signal ( galvanic voltage ) ...... it would explain how Stubblfield drew so much power from  his units.
Anyway ..........it is a theory.


I would  love to test these theorys .............but  I don't have any land  to plant wires in.

Gary, could it be that NS collected the earths DC voltage with either the copper or iron portion of his coil, and then added it to the AC collected with the copper or iron in a pulsed manner, to produce a stronger current ?

He could have been doing that .....sense  his coil was also his capacitor .......if my theory is right.

The point I was trying to make was not about  that though

My intent  was  to bring  up  what now seems very  clear to me......Stubbfield  was using what Tesla called radiant energy......


The  connection with  the galvanic  voltage  occurred to me as I was writing  the post ........probably because I was  refering to the ground    as an antenna.

Charging an antenna  to increase  its gain is fairly well know......but not really  understood.
I had no idea  how  Stubblfield   caused  his  coils to "pull " current  up from the ground ......now I have a theory .

It is  just a theory......... but it is like many pieces of the puzzle  are just dropping into place. .

@all

I never quite got why this battery still seems to elude most .

Its simple ?

MK1 did you try this? If yes how much power you're getting?
Thanks
