Joule Thief

Free Pow,

Nice work.
I did notice 1 inaccuracy in your statement.

The earth is not Providing any Power that I am aware of.
You could have done the same thing by sticking your metals in a Glass of water.

One of the metals is leaching (by way of moisture, into the ground)
   This causes 1 metal to have less electrons than the other.
         Then the 2nd Metal's electrons try to move where there are less. (to the 1st metal)
             Finally you captured those electrons in the Capacitor that your brought inside.

One thing that earth batteries may do is prevent electroplating on the 2nd metal.
I admit that I haven't studied the earth batteries as some here have... anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. ;o)

Best Regards,

Observer:

I do not think you are totally correct.  We have studied Nathan Stubblefield and his earth batteries for some time on those other topics.  Mine is still working after 3 years now.  Stubblefield said that there would be no deterioration of the materials if buried properly.

We are, I believe according to our studies, tapping into the Telluric currents of the earth.  There is plenty of energy there.  Inside, my electrodes barely put out anything, outside they put out about 1.9-2volts @ around 19 mA's or so.  I have run 400 leds each Christmas from my EB set-up 2 years now.  I love the free lighting.

The JT circuit is a natural for this type of power input.  You can charge up large caps and run pretty much anything that you want.  I can fill my 2.7 volt 650 Farad boost cap to full capacity with only about 2 volts input because there are some very high spikes ( not picked up on my DMM's) emitted from the earth and the cap stores those as usable power.  These can be seen on my posted scope shots over there.

Check out the other topics if you are interested.  It is really very fascinating stuff.

PS:  Stubblefield lit his farm and heated his home, as well as powered the entire telephone system in Murry, KY with nothing but his earth batteries, which really are energy receivers and not batteries at all.  All of this was done back in the late 1800s.

i made a drawing of the mk1 pickup coil and why i think it works and how it dose it , i am unable to confirm without proper tools , but that is what i have with what i got ...

Pirate.. thanks the info.

Since an earth battery is picking up the supposed potential difference between 2 separate geographic spots,
         Then 2 different kinds of metals would not be necessary...
                                                                                                                as 2 copper electrodes work just fine from a regular Battery.

Are you using 2 different metals?  Or will just a couple of identical electrodes work?

If only different metals work...then this would be a good test.
                                                     Put your electrodes in water.. does is give roughly the same Voltage/Current?

Thanks in  advance for your response.  ;o)

Also some clarifications , on radiant energy vs regular one .

If you have dc or slow ac it will pass in the wire standard copper vacuum , and resistance.

But the radian element only appears at high freq , at that point the dc will still be passing in the wire but the radian energy will be present around the wire .

One i get my dual jt running at higher freq i can use the battery leads as a power source ...

short video showing it , the pickup coil is not the average one , it is quite powerful for 15 feet of wire .

starts at 1:15   

after that i show the charge on a 5.5 volts .47 farad cap , that is at half speed , to get it at full speed i connect a full bridge rectifier between both collector of my npn/pnp config .
