Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

@ Chad:

Interesting observation.  I gave it a try and with very hot water, my numbers actually went down a bit.  But, you have me curious so now I am going to try ice water, just to see.  Maybe yours went up for some different reason and mine went down so maybe the ice will make mine go up.  I have no idea why this would make any difference.  Might be telling us something.

@ Jeanna:

My GUESS would be higher also.  But, I don't really know.

Bill,
Yes, higher. How to aim for that, I will need to study. I just received some info and I need to think about it a while.

I see something I can copy right out.

... As a guide, think of thin wire, lots of turns, for primary and wire 4 times as thick for the secondary. It's an arbitrary thing. ...

So, I will now post some results that should conform with yours and Joe's

I am using a 3/8 in diam galvanized iron bolt.
18 gauge galvanized steel wire
18 gauge copper wire. covered with cloth tape. (This is surgical tape. I thought the glue might breathe and it looks like nylon cloth but doesn't state.) The tape made it a lot easier and I was sure that it was not slipping off.
Total length of coils 2 3/8 in.
4 complete coils each having about 20 Cu and 20 Fe winds

terminals 5,6
0.54vdc
0.5vac
0.01ma (9-10ua)

terminals 10 Cu, Fe
0.6vdc
0.7vac
0.01ma (12.5ua)

This is just the wetted primary.

ah it feels good to report!!

Well the voltage is there but you have minimal amperage we really are getting 16 to 20 ma not uh so i do recommend some fabric cloth when you get a chance for the copper.  You should see a diff  just a thought

I just built your model and i need some help. I cant get it to work .  Any thoughts?

@Jeanna:

Joe is correct.  Your mA should be higher.  My latest coil has 2 layers of 55 winds each of cu and fe.  My first coil has 1 layer of 55 winds of each.  Possibly you need more length/winds to get better mA?  I have not cracked the 20 mA mark yet, but very close at 19.

Are you soaking your coil in water? (the sink)  My measurements were taken while the coil was under water.  It continues to put out the same as it dries out, then gets less and less as it does so.

@ All:

I have been thinking about something. (Yes, I know that can be dangerous)  If Stubblefield could achieve his maximum volts/amps by placing his cells in water, he would have done so.  He could have easily used buckets instead of burying his cells in the ground.  My thoughts are that we will see much better readings out in the field than we see in water.  Does this not make sense?  I mean, why dig holes when a container of water was much easier to do, and easier to move around?  I think now when we have our coils outside in the ground we will see something of the teluric currents coming into play here as well.  This guy (NS) was using many different phenomena to achieve his results.  I am wondering if I should bury a coil before I wind the secondary on it just to see?  It might take me a while to locate and purchase the secondary winding materials.  I am just putting this out there.
