@ All:

I just want to be clear about something here.  My idea of attempting to use a transistor like the 2n3904 on the NS coil for the make/break system is just that, an idea.

What I mean to say is that at this time, I do not claim to know how to wire one up.  I believe this will take some trial and error, mostly error no doubt.  What I do think will be very important is the use of a VR to tune to the coil.  In my opinion, this will probably be the thing that makes it possible, IF indeed it is possible.

I just did not want folks to think I have this all figured out.  I don't.

@ Jim:

Just got back in from my night job.  Time for a few beers and to bed so I can get up for my day job, ha ha.

@ MK1,
Well said Mark, exactly, spot on.

Any device to work must have it's "circuit" closed, for instance, the single 1.5volt cell + goes to the bottom contact of the torch bulb, the - goes to the side of the same bulb, the bulb will light up.

I used to think this too - but my Tesla Coil (which is perhaps very different to what you guys are working on....but im not so sure....might also be applicable) will light bulbs on the secondary wire when both ends of the single wire hang free (open circuit?? no??).

The reason i think it might be applicable is that if one end is connected to a toroid (capacitor in air), and the other FIRMLY grounded, I get far more amps in the secondary (well - the bulbs are brighter anyway). 

Anyway, I aint an expert, so probably best to take everything i say with a pinch of salt.

Good work all of you and keep it up - i'll be watching.

@all

i will clarify my toughs , in the NS battery unless i am mistaken you need to connect the copper and iron at one end leaving the other end open , like a regular battery electrodes do not touch they have an electrolyte barrier , in the NS the barrier is cotton ( dose natural fiber act as carrier as a substitute for typical electrolyte ) and corrosion and earth for electrolyte.

This is not unlike having two antenna with dissimilar metals , and by antenna i mean ground rod and coil optional aerial (air high freq electrolyte earth slower one)  . I you guys see what i am getting at ...

Now usually the more surface area of both metals are in close proximity the more amps you get , but what ever is done the battery it self will generate only . 6 volt , about the same with copper and aluminum .
It is enough for a motor but we could at one point imagine having a relay type switching system , more volts will be needed .

Now more volts , in the battery drawing by NS there is 5 layer if each layer are divided each layer gives .6 volts then connect them in series and get 3 volts , at lower amps .

I have found sheets of copper , aluminum , zinc ( zinc/copper NS coil 1.1 volts) , even better magnesium ribbon you cut the copper sheet or tape same size as the ribbon and cotton divider in between . The sheet offers more surface area (more amps) at higher voltages from zinc or magnesium.

The patent shows 5 layer and many rows i bet it would be easy to match the turn count .

All and all i can imagine having those coil directly on a transformer core that way we could put a decent secondary coil .

Ok i hope this made more sense .

@Pirate

Don't worry  i mean maybe some hot glue on the transistor and components.

@MK1,

I'm having trouble coming to grips with the consept that the stubblefield coil could be able to access energy by anything rather than a magnetic field.

Maybe if I explain it this way, it took me a while to accept the fact that there were some people (not I) on the Joule Thief forum who could light a tube with one wire, and I think this is the consept you are putting here that the stubblefield coil can do.

But then again, there are other devices that are capable of doing this, so it isn't a real surprise.

I also realise this Stubblefield coil is a different energy device to most others that I have come across, but by golly, if I ever see a stubblefield coil working as you discribe, you will get no negative words from me, only positive ones.


@all,
My biggist problem right now is access to insulated copper wire, its the freight and dollar exchange rate over to my neck of the woods that is the killer, far too expensieve, so I have to make a cotton winding jig to make what I should be able to buy, siiiii. I driven literally hundreds and hundreds of miles looking for any electrical place that sells cotton covered wire, no one makes it here.

Never mind, I have been drawing mechanical plans involving counter rotating pullies, PWM powered DC motors, cotton tensioning springs wing nuts etc etc, buying bits and pieces I need to make it and I will get this made, if I can make a 2 ton telescope with electric zoom and focus,,,,,it all takes time and effort.


@Bill,
Well, what can I say, lol just don't go to sleep on the job.

QuoteI'm having trouble coming to grips with the consept that the stubblefield coil could be able to access energy by anything rather than a magnetic field.

Coils have a parallel resonant frequency as well as a magnetic field. The less turns of wire the higher the frequency and the more turns the lower the frequency. More power in lower frequency's. I think once the coil is in resonance and tuned to the Earths magnetic field and/or telluric currents, the make/break switch will stay closed conducting power. If this is true then an external NS coil using external power might be brought into resonance and tested.
A question I have is how the radiant energy interacts with the earths magnetic field thats coupled to the coils magnetic field.
