@ One:

Just so you know, I used over 75 feet of copper wire (and another 75 of iron ) for my coil and it is a small one with only 2 layers.  I used 23 ga. for copper and 24 ga. for iron.  There are pictures on here somewhere, I can repost if you want but possibly too large a size for the new restrictions.  Well, I will try to reduce the size and post here.  Let's see.....

@ One:

I agree with you on both counts.  Yes, very small but free and probably will never run out as you said, it is not "using up" anything like when wet or in acid like a regular battery. Lower initial cost than solar and, solar has a 15% (or thereabouts) COP while these are, well, I don't know but whatever comes out is 100% OU as we put nothing in.  OK, well at least 100% COP.  Gary, my core, which you can't see much of in the photo, is an iron nail (spike) that is zinc coated.  It is the kind of spike you would use to nail landscaping ties together.  It is about 12" long.  Very high iron content.  Probably 1/2" dia. or thereabouts.

@ All
Hoo boy there are some posts here to catch up on

I was feeling a bit sad today because I still see jeanna has not got a CRO, and is pining so off I went and I did a search and found something that everyone could use if they feel they can, the following web address has "software" scopes,    I haven't tried them out, some are 30megs some are small, some you pay for, others are freeware. http://www.softpedia.com/downloadTag/Oscilloscope
(I bet Jeanna's keyboard is smoking)

Might be an idea to burn the Zips to a CD as the freebies sometimes get pulled if they go popular or updated with knobbled ones you have to pay for to get em working again.
.
My personal recommendations are, if you have a spare PC, set it up on that one.

Now, there is a web site that shows you how to make a probe with instructions in jpgs http://www.ladyada.net/library/equip/index.html

If you decide to go down this track, always put the lowest voltage into your PC sound card, my AUX input wont work anymore so I have only the microphone working.

Somewhere in the shed I have a roll of 1/8inch bare copper wire I used to use as an aerial, might take a look for it in the next couple of days.

@ bill
Thanks for posting your U tube experiments, I will go and take a look right now, I need an incentive .

Quick announcement, just saw on Ch9 TodayTonight (aust) on Monday night, they doing a story on "magnetic water" and they say plants thrive big time with it, Stubblefield rods and plants go wild on it. I betta ty a big string on my pinkie not to forget to watch this.

@ Bill

I went to take a look at your videos you put on E Tube owildbillo,  they are very good, actually Bill, it was because you put them on the web that I found this forum, so thank you, I took a look at the homopolar screw you did on a rainy day as well, very interresting.

There appears to be a lot of energy locked up in magnets, I must got my hands on a couple soon.

A friend of mine out this way once said to me, put 2 steel ball bearings on a steel rod, mount that in a housing, then put 12v DC from a car battery on each bearing via jumper leads, and it will take off at high speed. The bearings dont last too long, but you can get incredable energy out of it.

good night all, Im off to bed

I have a little thing or 2 to report.

For the last couple of days I have measured the primary coil outside in the ground. Yesterday I added a second coil that has a secondary on it nearby.

Bizarro.

The first coil is the 12 inch iron spike which is only a primary.
The voltage inside and moist is around 250mvdc and about 12 uA .

When I put this primary only coil into the ground the voltage dropped to 189vdc.
I tried adding a cap etc. I reported this stuff the other day.

Well, that was Apr 1st. On Apr 2, the voltage rose to 203mvdc, then Apr 3 (warm sun?) the voltage was up to 245vdc - normal. Today, Apr 4 in the light rain, it has dropped again to 200mvdc.
13uA seems to be pretty steady.

Yesterday, Apr 4 I put a small coil that has a secondary scramble wound around it halfway stuck into the ground.

Inside and moist this reads
394mvdc
0.3vac
159uA and goes down - I never recorded to what.

outside and halfway stuck in the ground
Apr 3 when it went into the ground

79mvdc (way down)

later that day

25mvdc  (down even more)
25.4uA and absolutely steady

just before dark
18mvdc
18uA
connect cu wire to secondary one side (-)380mv!!! {Fe to 2dary is + 380mvdc}

April 4 cold and rainy

10mvdc (can it go any lower?)
10uA
(-)300mvdc - cu to 2dary wire.

So, with only these 2 coils as samples, I can say that putting the coil into the ground at least at first the voltage goes down. The purely iron core Primary only, recovers pretty well and output seems to be fairly steady. BUT the little one with a zinc core and a secondary has not begun to recover yet after 24 hours.

And what is this where I can connect the cu5 to one of the leads off the secondary and the voltage goes way up to 30 times what is found on the 5,6 terminals! 

(BTW this works the other way too, ie. the fe6 to the secondary wire gives about the same number of volts with a reversal in polarity. - also, I forgot to double check which way it was pos and neg.)

EDIT: I did check and corrected this. the cu gives the (-) and the fe gives the (+) both around the same value.

It seems stranger every day.

So, Bill, just wait till you get yours out in the yard!!
