yes you are correct about the wires being parralel.. i was a little lazy in its description sorry, my cell is a 9 inch by 3/4 inch steel bolt with 4 layers of bifilar windings of copper and iron wire.

Brief description of my cell

Readings after 2 days of cell being buried

.564 vdc
14ma

winding my primary

i would cover the bolt with a layer of tightly woven cotton fabric then secure it with tiny amount of tape then wind the copper wire down the length of the bolt leaving an even space between the coils (around 3mm) then i would cover the winding totaly with a new layer of tightly woven cotton fabric, then i would wind the iron between the copper coils were i had left the 3mm gap, then i would repeat this process, i know its not like the patent but i had to improvise and it seems to work as expected.

I connected the secondary wires to my meter and shorted the 5 & 6 wires repeatdly and the voltage went from 0 mvac to 143mvac the faster i shorted them the higher the reading was (cell buried during testing).

The testing goes on.

Thanks Bill It?s good to see people trying and getting some power from the earth, the best part is it is 24/7 and can be hook up in series, it just takes a lot of land to separate each pair, and hopefully the NS coil will solve that problem. I think someone had a rechargeable battery and hooked up the + and ? of their battery to the earth battery and then ran the load from their battery. But what I think the guy did was split the ? and + of the two loads between his battery and the earth battery. I have to go shopping this weekend for some wire, magnesium, and some carbon, or some copper and zinc, also a voltmeter and a compass. I will try the rods first before I move on to the NS coil.

@ Chad:

I follow your description except for how many turns you have on your secondary?  I think that is what is holding a lot of us up at this point because you need a bunch of magnet wire for the secondary....and all one piece.  I have read 1,000 turns and also 3,000 turns, etc.)  I believe Joe did kind of what you did with a manual make/break just to see if any ac and he also was reading some.  Once we can make/break this at reasonable frequencies, I believe we will see hundreds of vac if not in the thousands.  I am not there yet, but almost ready to begin.

Good idea about the most recent readings.Maybe we could get them to Joe somehow and he could post them on the very first post of his that started the thread.

I guess you are in the right place!

I  don't  think   it would be fair   to expect Joe or any  one  person  to  do it each  time .

I also  don't think it would be practical  to   try to  make sure it is  the  first  post  of  the  page. .......no  one  wants to   watch  the   thread to see when it is time to post .

I think  if  each  builder  kept  a file of  the basics that he or she was  working with .... like   wire size    readinngs  taken   and  what  you are doing  different   

If  the  goal  was to  have  each  copy and  paste   our file  to the  thread    at  specific  places ....... could be odd pages or even pages ..or  multiples of 5 .......   even if   everyone forgot  on  a particular  page .........  you  would always kinow  where to look for  info ...........any    info that  someone thinks  may be useful  could be posted there ....

@Jeanna and One:

I thought about this for a while now.  I was thinking of opening a related topic where we could repost our schematics and photos only.  I think a topic for just the things you mentioned would be a good idea as well.  This way, a person could get up to speed much faster than reading all of the old posts from the beginning, which most will not do. (who has the time?)  The only problem with this would be that, the topic could easily be over run with non applicable posts, ie a topic for drawings only might very well end up with a lot of discussions and I don't think one could prevent that totally.  I would hva started a topic for that but I did not want to take away from this one or confuse anyone.

We can't  control  what others  will post in  a new thread 
Many  forums  provide  the ability  to  select modorators for  seperate threads .  If this board can do that Stephan is not using  that  capability .


Also .....    you never know   when  an interaction  will spark  a brilliant idea ........even skeptics  have been known  to cause  others  to  have an   AH HA moment once in a while
