@ georgemay:

Thank you for your thought of helping me to get to the museum.  My father is very ill at the moment and it does not look good.  I will get to the museum eventually, I promise.  Yes, money is tight like it is for a lot of folks at the moment.  But, while I greatly appreciate your thoughts in this area, just know that I have always done what I said I would do, which anyone can look back over the many posts here and see. Please do not misunderstand what I am saying here. Prior to my father's illness, if I had a government grant I would have been there already.  Yes, finances are a problem but now, not the biggest problem. Please accept my gratitude for your suggestion. I really appreciate it.

Bill

Anyways i think this little oscillatory circuit is worth everyones time to try out. > 

wouldn't this be something like frequencies.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but will a DC voltage run a transformer? I think it is the sine wave of AC that causes it to either step up or down according to the way it's wound.
Could it be that Stubblefield was using the AC portion of the voltage, that we've all reported, in his coil.

@sid
      Pulsed dc as in tesla style transformers (impulse driven) is a way of transforming electricity, as well as buck or boost transformers in an ac sense.. >>> The readings you referring to were used as a carrier and modulated by the earphone or mic depending on which way.. kinda like and audio impedance transformer.. Hense the inductance of the coils on the beer cans would be specific to the mic/earphone he was using and voltage of the carrier expected. This is concerning his wireless phone system.


  As far as the battery its a whole different ballgame....
The initial bi-metal couple of the copper and iron wires are bifilar and wrapped around a carriage bolt.  Bare iron and insulated copper... The Patent states at this point all that is needed is water to activate the voltaic action... the third coil wound outside all the rest considered the secondary is where the real power can come from with one stipulation.. i found this note towards the end of the patent 

Two of the leads from the internal bi metal coil have to be shorted to allow for the cell to be self sustaining. 

I think that the impulse that people refer to charging the cell would be given on these windings to saturate the core initially and then when you short the wires theres a little flux to play with/ energy stored in the bolt.
