Stubblefield earth power

Was this a ?earth battery? or an energy converter?

It is interesting to note that the copper wire was cotton covered
Or in other words porous.
could this allow ionization movement?

Sometimes this cotton covered wire can be found in 80+ year old house
Attics or basements as old leftover wiring suspended from porcelain standoffs, for reference.

You can still get cotton wire at tattoo supply shops, used to make coils for tattoo machines.
Or ebay.

Interesting ironhead. I wonder why they use cotton wrapped coils?
Would that reduce vibrations maybe?

Old cotton wrapped wire that I?ve seen for house wiring was much heavier
Than tattoo wire I think , somewhere around 12-14 gauge solid core ,
Stiff (due to age?) and heavy cotton ?tube? wrapped. I was thinking
About cotton candle wick ?tubing? over stripped house wire.

I wonder how many other inventers used this in their devices back in the day?

While we try to replicate with very sealed Teflon coated wire. Just something to note
As the electrical properties would be different for cotton wire
Which is almost like bare wire with a standoff.
Even in ?dry? coils, ionization  would easily pass through cotton.
Just to note also, the cotton wire I have seen was also very very lightly shellacked
But still porous
