Those are the very soft iron rods that I ordered.  I am not very happy with them.  They retain their magnetism after the magnetic field is turned off.  I think I am going to try a ferrite rod.  Maybe I will make a huge coil around this: http://www.stormwise.com/page26.htm  I am open to suggestions for a good ferrite rod to use.  I know very little about them.

Here is a design that I plan on building when I get back from my trip.  Based on testing that I have already been doing I am pretty sure this motor is going to run good. It will also to some extent accomplish the " make and break" switching.

Are you sure the rotor magnet are the right way (north vs south) also when the magnet of the rotor is close to the coil it is fair to assume the core is still magnetized , it may be a size issue or distance .

Also i don't see on the drawing the connection for the other ends of the coils .

Maybe you need a second reed switch to pulse it back and forth .

Anyhow great work!

Thanks pmom,

That is useful for trying more modern core materials, as someone suggested earlier.

Greetings to everyone, new to the forum.
I have been doing a lot of research on Stubblefield as well as Tesla and others.
I also plan on building a Stubblefield device. My thoughts on it are these:
From what I have read it is believed that Stubblefield was forced to make changes to his wording in his patents to appease the patent office, so the terminology calls for electrolytic reaction which may be true so that it has this method as a primer. However, In reading the patent it seems clear that that is only a small part of the device. I estimate that the device once in the earth will become an electromagnet even without connecting the wires (5 & 6)(see NBS patent 600457 fig 4) due to the telluric current/ radiant energy within the earth. It should be noted that references were made to the fact of leaving the battery in the earth and it would build and build over time. As the telluric currents/radiant energy builds the soft iron core becomes magnetic exciting the coils of wire and making it an electromagnet creating the current that will be useable from wire 5 & 6 terminals. This alone is fantastic in itself, however I believe there is one thing that has perhaps been overlooked. If you examine the photographs of Stubblefield and his patent # 887357 he used this battery/induction coil in concert with a coil antenna. Usually with one as the transmitter and another setup with a receiver. However I would like to refer you to Nikola Tesla patent #685957 "The apparatus for the utilization of radiant energy". Note that with a wire antenna the signals pulled in will produce usable current. Stubblefield and Tesla knew each other as was seen in the photos. It is my hypothesis that the antenna is the means by which to truly "prime the pump". It was noticed that Stubblefield got more and more current build after doing this. I also think that it is important to have the secondary coil in place for obvious reasons. Hooking up the antenna coil to wires 5 & 6 utilizing the radiant energy going into the battery from the antenna we will therefore want the secondary coil to gather the resulting buildup of radiant energy to power a load.
I apologize if any of this has been already talked about as I am still reading over the 210 pages of this thread but wanted to get my thoughts out there.
Thank you.

Wintermuteai1:

Welcome to our group.  I can not argue with your assessment of the patent.  I believe you may be correct.  NS always said you need to "prime the pump", whatever that meant.

This came up again with the work of Tariel Kapanadze where he used a car battery to get the electrons flowing and then disconnected it.  He is getting great output now from his experiments.


Again, welcome to the group.

Thank you Bill
I've watched your videos on youtube, great work!
also love the forum here. It is great to see so many people working toward common goals.
