Nathan Stubblefield Earth battery/Self Generating Induction Coil Replications

I will try to make this short , if your coil goes down it needs pressure, just think of the laundry dried out side or in the dryer .

But NS would not have this problem since his design took care of that , and most of us can't even see it ...

His coil is also a big vise for the coil , if it did go down a turn on that bolt and that is it ...

I tough the wood spacer on this coil where thick for nothing , nope there is always a reason .

That's right, I have noticed people saying in their posts they were getting similar results with their coil building over the past few years.

In Lasersabers You Tube videos (which are just awesome) he wets his stubblefield coil layers every time he finishes each layer, we can see the volts rise and the Ma also when he does this.

The stubblefield coil begins to activate as it gets wet, then as it is wetted more, it reaches a point where it becomes too wet and it's performance falls. Then as the coil is removed from the "wet" situation, (bucket of water etc) it begins to dry out and as it does so the coil begins to activate again until it dries out past the happy moisture medium.

Stubblefield made his coils with thick wooden ends, I see this has 2 purposes.
1 the ends had the strength to hold the coil geometry together.
2 the wood ends soak up the "wet" or hold a level of moisture which is able to use capillary action to keep a level of wetness through the coil for a far longer period of time.

Maybe we should wet, or soak the wood ends before we make each coil, call it "priming the ends", it would help to speed up the coils output.

I see the damp earth as being always damp, and the dampness is allowed over a period of time to "recharge" the wetness of the coil assembly. This will allow the coil to operate for years at a time (bar floods or long periods of droughts.

Just my 2 cents.

I agree with the wooden ends and its capillary action. The tighter and better the winds the more uniform the magnetic field also. From what I see to maximize the potential of the coil, the windings should be as perfect as you can get. Side by side and directly on top of each other.

I am finally somebody  ...

Yes!

I am so glad he tried your idea.
I think I might buy some pipe with ends and make me a stubby.
I still have not received my soft iron so I cannot make the lasersaber kind, so it might be great to make a stubby with end caps for squeezing the wires and try out an idea I want to try.

thank you for your great idea,
