hmmm

I was going to pass along the little print the thread trick to jadaro, but I see it is no more. too bad.

PS I do like the new layout. Nice to have a whole page.

@ IST and Pirate . I love My earth battery . i dont know if its galvanic or what but its powering two jts in parallel even under the Frozen Ground . I can't wait till Spring . (MONTHS FROM NOW ) to DRIVE SOME MORE ..
@ Timmy
Forget the diode just hook it up straight with a small polorized cap in parallel the one i use is 1000uf at 16v

Yall want to see another Self Charging feedback to source i made yesterday .. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbSV-BqGnYw

Woah,

verrry nice job.

@all

Thanks everyone for losing sleep making a stand and working all together , lets me tell you what we will share in the end SUCCESS FOR ALL.

@ist

Nice picture, now the fun begins wiring that to full potential .http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=xWpNs9cabAc&feature=channel_page , you will also need a antenna.

@ jeanna

Very nice report. You make a good scientist. As you have found out, the wire diameter and what the wire is made of do not make any difference in performance (unless the wire resistance is over a few ohms). It is the amount of current flowing through the wire that is critical.

I think you will find that changing current or voltage to the circuit will not make it blink. The circuit blinks when the battery is dead because when the circuit turns on it drains all of the energy available from the battery and then when all of the available energy is drained the circuit turns off. When the circuit is off the chemicals in the battery will slowly replenish the energy in the battery and the voltage will slowly climb. When the battery voltage gets high enough to turn on the circuit, the circuit will drain all of the energy from the battery and the precess will start over. This will continue until the chemicals can no longer generate enough energy to raise the battery voltage high enough to turn on the circuit.
