Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

[Cap-Z-ro]

If only there was someone from his area that saved one of his old units.

Cap-Z-ro, the core bolt is supposed to be insulated.  The copper wire was covered in cotton or silk, the iron wire was bare but NS also said it could be covered and it would not affect the outcome.  Then after the first layer was wound, the whole layer was covered in a cotton wrap.  Then you start the second layer and repeat.  All my coils are started at the top and end at the top, but I noticed some people start at one end and finish at the other.  Don't see where it makes much difference, except I think it is easier to have both at one end.

Thanks for clearing that up pmom...now I just have to figure the dynamics between the bolt and the 2 windings.

I just finished my new baby  (coil number 6) and I think I have good news for you.  I believe I have gotten readings off the secondary!  I am at a loss when it comes to actually reading the DMM as usual, so I will just give you all the numbers and hope someone can interpret it for me.
V.                   A.               Battery
200=.8      20m=.22      1.5V=.014
20=.90      200m=.1      9V=.21
2=.916                      12V=.28
200m=1

Remember this is off the secondary!

Bare Iron covered by cotton , but not insulating material .

The windings are directional , to make a better electromagnet .

@john

You mentioned getting only amps reading , i bet that was with both coils connected at one end .
