@All,

All day I have been writing my software so I can type in what the voltages and mA's that happen during the winds I put on it, it's a pity I didn't have this done before, well never mind. The bottom photo shows an "example" of data

I am between the 15 layer and about to begin the 16th layer on my Stubblefield Coil.

But, first I want to tell you all of what my coil is doing and I am in Stubblefield School, the coil is teaching me things and they are very interesting indeed.

When I began this coil, my mind was open to absorb what ever it wanted to tell me, and it has been doing so, but I haven't been aware of it until now.

With few layers of bifilar windings on the coil former, I can wet each layer with water just as Lasersaber does, and the coil responds with a small voltage and if I test for current, it responds with milliamps, but the voltage goes to 0.
That's OK, no problems, but when I got a few more extra layers wound in the primary it began to react differently.

The shorting turns test started to tell me it had found a short somewhere, but the bulb light was very weak, but after a few more layers, this bulb started to glow brighter.
I began to think Oh oh, another short again, so as I had to do other things here I left the coil winding for a couple of days. During this time the coil dried out, the voltage dropped and then there was none.
I tried the shorting turns test again, and surprise, there is no short.
I checked the shorting turns circuit, yep, it's OK.

It seems the more copper and steel wire I wind on it, the less moisture is required to indicate a short, only when the coil is damp to wet, we all know not to mix power and water, as moisture will cause a short circuit,  in this case it is a partial short, and this is what was happening.

I have also noticed that it doesn't take too long before the coil begins to work and put out voltage, I can put a teaspoon of water anywhere on the cotton covering and the coil reacts almost instantly, the more water I put on the coil the more voltage I can get out.

So far the highest I have recorded is 0.78mV
MA is a different story, the voltage still drops, but it doesn't go to 0volts, but the mA begins to rise, and it seems to want to keep going higher and higher.
Eventually things level out, then the water slowly evaporates and the energy in the coil lowers.

Now, I can drive a LED via Joule Thief, last night it was extremely bright, so for a few hours I had free electrical light.
It's a start in the right direction.

There will be those who will say its the consumption of the metals and water, I say so what, go drive your petrol car.
   
Another thing I have noticed, is the magnetic field of the Stubblefield Coil.
This coil seems to put out a strange magnetic field, you add water to the cell and the field begins to grow, its not pulsing, just there, I can see it's reaction to my compas when it is about 14 inches away from the coil. As I move towards the coil the reaction is more pronounced.
If I put a Neo magnet anywhere near the coil it has no effect on the Stubblefield Coil that I can see, the output from the bifilar wires do not alter, there is no waveform on the CRO, maybe there is something there but at a level way above 10Mhz which is my cros limit.

There is another thing that is happening, the Stubblefield Coil seems it can behave like a battery, but a very leaky battery at that, a bit like a capacitor too.

I can "charge" the coil with 2.50volts using mt shorting turns tester, switch it off and the DMM tells me the coil has accepted a "tiny charge" but it flows away, but as I wind on the coil more layers, this flowing away effect is lessened by each layer.
This also depends on the amount of moisture in the coils, this thing is talking to me, and it's an interresting conversation indeed.


I have also noticed an other effect, have mentioned this to two others, is the Stubblefield Coil being influenced by the local gravity fields? Well, if I put a Neo magnet on the coil, there is no reaction from it.
If I wiggle the magnet very fast backwards and forewards across the coils turns, there still is no change that I can detect from the coil, the DMM readings remain rock solid.   If I put the neo magnet at either iron bolt end, theres still no change at all.



I am beginning to think the Stubblefield maybe a gravity powered generator device, but I may be wrong too.

I was reading somewhere that when you decide to bury the coil, do a survey in the area with your compas and take note of all readings.
Bury the coil and do the exact survey once a gain.
Then every day do the same survey, from what I am reading, the magnetic field begins to grow while it is in the earth, well it's something we can test later on to see if this happens.

Something else I found out, the coil itself has a North pole and a South pole, the start wires are North, the other end is South. Then sometimes there is a violent flick of the direction the compas needle, as I move it from right to left.


The Copper wire is Positive
The steel wire is the Negative

3508 = close up of my coil turns.
Left to right, Dark line  is the Copper wire, then cotton string, then Steel wire, then Cottoon string.

3518 = The Stubblefield Bifilar windings powering a single White LED, it is quite bright, and the coil has about 1/3rd of the turns on it so far.

3521 = My DMM showing the open circuit output of 0.79 volts not 0.78 as I mentioned up above. This is the highest reading I have achieved so far.
3530 = my software in BETA at the moment.

@electricme

You deserve to be successful!!!

Nice uniform coil!

QuoteSomething else I found out, the coil itself has a North pole and a South pole, the start wires are North, the other end is South. Then sometimes there is a violent flick of the direction the compas needle, as I move it from right to left.

Was the coil wound clockwise or counter clockwise? Are the start and end wires on the same end of the coil? Need to know this.

This may be from increasing the galvanic currents magnetic field as you add water.

Gravity. This may have already been gone over. The Earths spin by convention creates an electric field east/west,which creates the magnetic North/south. The south appears to be the direction the currents are coming from. Im wondering if the coil should be laid horizontally,or not,to the natural poles of the coil itself to the opposite poles of the earth. Damm curious that your start wires are north.
Very nice work electric!

Hey Jim nice work ....the 2.5v is interesting ....I made 36 little eb's...each puts out .64v .... all 36 hooked in series gave me 22.25v as soon as I hook up my led the volts drop to 2.5v.....18 in series gave 11.06v as soon as I hook up the led the volts drop to 2.5v .Then I made six sets of six in series....hooked the six sets in parralel.....gave me 3.74v...hooked the led dropped to 2.58v....3 sets of six in parrallel,... hooked in series,.. with the other3 sets of six in parrallel...gave me 7.74v ,..hooked the led dropped to 2.6v.....can anybody explain why ...no matter the arrangement once you hook up the led the #'s drop to this ~2.5v  ..........thanx for any input ....shylo

Jim:

Incredible work you are doing here Mate!  That coil is a monster with all those layers.

You have raised some very interesting questions with your observations.  Myself, I can't wait to see it tested in the earth.  I think that is where we will see the biggest difference between what galvanic action there may be and what Stubblefield had been talking about back then.  I believe it will be pulsed by the earth in some way...telluric currents....gravity waves as you posited, or who knows what source it may be able to tap into.

I don't know if you recall but back with my first small NS coil buried outside, I did some experiments where I hit it with a 9v battery because somewhere Stubblefield spoke of "priming the pump". (Funny that Kapanadze does something very similar)  I remember reporting that after just a few seconds of doing this, about 5 different large worms and 3 unidentified bugs came up out of the earth like their ass was on fire.

It was explained to me that folks use this method to get worms for fishing but, in looking back, I don't think that 9 volts would do that.  In other words, I think folks that gather worms this way must use some type of step-up transformer (ala Fuji) to get hundreds of volts.  So, if I am right about this, what was being output by my very small coil that affected those little creatures in that manner?  Was the coil reacting with some waves in the ground that stepped up the output to some crazy level for a few seconds?

Anyway, I just wanted to mention this again because I know a lot more about transformers and stuff now than I did back then.

Jim, when your software is out of beta will it be available for other folks to use?  If you need someone to help beta test it, I can give it a go.

Your work here, along with the others, is really moving us forward.  Keep it up Mate.
