@ IST,

No, I havent tried Zinc and Alum.

Aluminium and copper does work, polaritory, Positave always seems to stay with the copper electrode.

perhaps we can set up a neg potencial in a cap and set it into orbit 

lol



good night you all 

peace round the globe... 

ist!

@All

I just went outside and rechecked my EER setup, it is still rolling along, voltage has dropped as expected, but it is still shuvving out 3 volts.
I think it is getting into settleing down mode, and if it makes it, the voltage should improve again shortly.

Anyway, it was time to see if I could get it to do something, and so I connected a LED to its output.

Ha ha ha, it works, very nicely thank you all, he he the White LED light up nice and brightly. I got it propped up against the fence so I see if it gets dim or brighter. Going to keep my eye on it overnight.

I got another LED and connected it in parallel, it lit up also, but they dimmed slightly, BUT it works, wow, connect a JT to this system and we are arrrrwayyyyyyy

Jim:

Wow, that looks good and bright!  I am sure you could run a JT circuit right now as you said...easily.  I can't believe how tightly grouped together you have made these cells.  They take up no space at all really.  I could fit 100 of those cells in my little garden here at my little apartment.

Great work.  Stay warm down there.  Maybe Jeanna can send you some heat...I am sure she would be happy to get rid of some from what I have been hearing on the news.

say i took like 30 strands in a bunch and wrapped 1 around the outside ..

HMM,

I like that idea, ist.

It combines the progress Sm0ky2 made the other day with the progress Jim made today.
It is a little like the Stubblefield combination idea.
Since I think the earth energies are 'random' pulsed currents, (and I can even see them now on my scope) I think this multiple approach is a really good idea.

Please follow it through and let us in on the results! (you always do, just know I/we are watching).

The part I will do is to find a couple of closely matched - I hope- NS coils and put them into the ground where my simple probes are and see how they work as a combo EER and EB... or something.

The maritime rolled in this morning. Such relief! All my nerves are smoothed and soothed. I may not be able to send in any good scope shots with the overcast sky, but I am happy with that today.

I will report any EER or EB results on their threads.

thank you all,

jeanna

Hello all,

I have been working with a project that started to be a Jule Thief and has "evolved".

It is using a 1K center tapped audio transformer as the coil (typical cap. feedback) and is running off ~3V while
driving a green LED (just my favorite color). I am also using some diodes to put some energy back into the battery (pulse - charging it). It isn't much, but it IS fun
to tinker with.

(I am very happy to be here with you others who seem to know so much more than me.)

I will try to get a schematic together and get it up here.

(This is certainly NOT overunity, but I think it deserves looking into a lot more as a "green" device.)
