Stubblefield coils (bifilar) and speculations

OK Sm0ky2,
I get it.
You don't want to read the patent. It is OK.
Have a look at the picture and copy it. If you need any explanations it is all there.

...I assume the hills are a normal part of the ground, so why not build a south level 1.6ft higher than the north as though it were a natural hill?.........and I suspect it does not need to be literally buried so deep. I suspect that an earth mound on the south for me is enough.

I agree to this (but Bill does not, as he counts on underground telluric currents for the power).
Need to test it out.
First step would be a control experiment to confirm that the output of an EER system goes up when it is properly aligned to the earth-magnetic field i.e. North-South and also inclination (dip angle).
Did anybody establish this properly?
Maybe it has to be done very exactly like if you want to look into a laser beam, your eye would have to be very exactly aligned to the beam's axis. Like tuning to a narrow resonance peak.
Or is there still a noticeable power gain if the setup is a few degrees out of alignment?
I don't know.

Yes, I have done this...well, to a point.  So has Localjoe back in the early days.
My control was to stick 2 electrodes in the ground, not knowing where north/south was in my area at the time.  (forget about dip angles as I have never even heard of them at that time)  Joe's advice was to plant 1, and then stab around with the other electrode with your meter on it until you got the highest readings and then....plant it.  This is what I did.  as it turned out, I was on a direct line with the north/south meridian.

Later, as my knowledge progressed and I learned about dips angles, etc. I built my first real EB. (Now EER)  Again, as luck would have it, my north (carbon rod) electrode was just about on the correct depth angle to my mag. fire starter blocks for the distance to be close to the dip angle in my area.

Later, when I got the 5 pound mag. block, I improved the alignment and got even better readings on my output.  So, I believe in this approach as it has worked for me.  I have not totally researched it but, anyone can do so like Localjoe said way, way back. 

As I said many times before, if someone tries this and finds they get higher output E/W and 0 dip angle, well, I still say go for it.  To me, the output rules.

I just start out telling new folks how I am doing it and if they can do better, more power (no pun intended) to them.  But, when they say "I stuck 2 nails in the ground 2" apart and can't light 400 leds like you did so you must be lying", I get a little perturbed as that was not a fair replication.

So, take from this what you will, but I have seen an increase in output by following this method or I would not be doing it.  There may indeed be better methods out there and if someone finds one, I hope they share and I will replicate it.

As far as how accurate do you need to be?  Only as accurate as the maximum levels of your output tell you to be.

I really hope this helps.  If anyone needs more explanation, just let me know.  Thanks.

Thanks.

@all

I was playing with my demo earth battery.  I don't have my Carbon and magnesium rods yet.  Just using 1/2" copper pipe 4' long and 3/4" steel rod 3' long.  I moved the steel neg rod until it was ~12 degrees off magnetic North according to that NOAAs website for my area and picked up 10% more voltage. 

But what was interesting was when I added water to the ground around the steel neg rod the volts went down like others have reported but when I added water to the ground near the pos copper rod the voltage went up.     Very interesting.

I have my pos copper rod near where the rain gutter dumps water onto the ground.  This should keep the ground real moist there.
