@ Bill,

if you connect the carbons and the zincs together respectively you are setting them up in Parallel, not in Series. Series would be copper to zinc to copper to zinc. Furthermore I think you should be measuring your output differently.

If you have, as is likely, an AC component in your flow the meter would not give you an accurate reading. I suggest using a bridge rectifier between your earth battery and the meter, to make sure you get all DC. You only need 4 silicon diodes at around 10 cents each and you are in business. Suitable circuit diagram is on the bottom of this page.

Bruce de Palma had been playing around with the Faraday disk for some time. It was him that called it the N-Machine. It never went anywhere.

I do not believe the current scientific theories (there are two main ones) to be correct. There is something else in play here which I am trying to nail down.

@bill mabey each cell meaning pair + - needs a cap so you would retain the 1.45 on each cap and the we could discharge them how ever.. theres a few ways anyways hans  has a good idea about the bridge rectifier but i still think the resivor so to say the cap should be connected to the leads and then from that cap into the the retifier.  Now hans correct me if im wrong but bill should probably try a non polarized cap .  Not sure here but will find out..

@ Hans:

Thanks for the diagram!

First, I want to say that I finally read your latest installment post.  I wanted to give it the time your effort to write deserves.  That is mind blowing! All different devices yet exploiting the same phenomenon.  I agree with your idea that the rotation of the earth might be where the required movement is coming from.  Makes perfect sense to me.  Thank you for your research and hard work.  I know we are all benefiting from it immensely.

Now, about my "series" connections.  You are correct of course but I don't see a way to connect it any other way.  what I mean is if I  go from carbon (+) to zinc (-) I have a dead short.  that is what I tried a while back.  I go from carbon on one cell to the zinc on the other and it does not know it is two cells and it is like hooking up a wire from the + on your car battery to the -, not good.  Maybe I am missing something basic and simple here (probably) but that is why I tried to just tie all the plus and all the minus electrodes together which is, of course (now that you pointed it out) a parallel connection.  Any thoughts on how to connect the + of one cell to the - of the other without a short?  Thank you.

Bill

What you've got is a common medium so there is no way to setup a series circuit. You have to isolate the medium in one segment from the other.[

Sorry Duff,

but this is not correct. In your typical 12 V car battery you have several galvanic cells in series sitting in a common electrolyte. This is not where your problem is.

Hans von Lieven

Are you sure about that Hans? -

You pop the cap on a cell and check the fluid level or measure density level with a hydrometer  of individual cells....


-Duff

G'day Joe,

Perhaps a bit premature thinking about caps. We need to establish first if there is an AC component. If there is, the cap is useless.
