Earth Electrical Energy Datalogging Experiments

[electricme]

@Bill,
Regarding waveforms from the EB, this is so right, you can lookaway one moment, then look back and lo and behold, the waveform has altered, some times dramitically.
Several times they just dissapeared and I had to "go fish" em back by using the vertical sweep control.

When you asked me, "Jim, describe it to us", remember,,,, and I couldn't, ha ha ha, It wobbles like crasy, flips and turns like a cut snake, bounces up and down, it has a life of its own dosent it.

@altrez
OK next step is to make a bridge rectifier, BUT DON'T USE 1n4004 diodes.
I discovered just days ago, 1N4004 diodes will not switch fast enough to get the energy properly.
Use 1n4007 or 1N5408 diodes.(3amp 1Kv)
1N4007 are a faster switching diode, so turns on and off faster, this helps the EB energy to be converted to DC.

Then next thing to do is to solder a white LED across the + and - of the bridge.
With a bit of luck, you should see a very slight glow, but only at night time.
If you have a supercap there, remove the LED and hook it up instead, then after a few hours, you should be able to drive a JT or a LED or a tiny electric motor.

@all
My EB is still lightning my white LED, but it is very very dim, I started this yesterday, so I'm going to see how long it will remain lit up.

@jeanna,
When you take the photos of your scope readouts, try and keep the camera parallel to the face of the scope, its difficult at times to do this I know,especially if making a MOV, but the image will become easier to see.
I was amazed to see how fast the waveform was going on your scope, no wonder you had trouble trying to freeze it as you mentioned some P back, you are doing very good work.

@all,
I must be nuts, out of my tree, crasy or something, I want to tackle a ummm, make a verticle Bedini, just imagine 7 0r 8 little bedinis  stacked on top of each other, all rotating on a common shaft. All trigered by a reed switch, which switches a bunch of mosfets.
I found this ballbearing mounted exercise tredmill thrown out, it had already lost its motor to another scavenger "dump picker" (like me) lol, but he left the bearing mounted roller.

I'm off to bed, Im too silly 4 words.

hooroo all

Hi jim,
I make the avi files for myself, but I converted and compressed that one so you all could see the wave waving.
And, it really is fast. Amazing.

It is a dice-roll with the camera on the scope. I sometimes see a beautiful shot through the viewfinder and it turns out to be nothing but glare when it is downloaded to my computer. If I put the camera directly in front you might just see camera and no waves. I can change the contrast on the stills, or for my own viewing, but not yet on the converted video. Maybe there is a way I have not learned yet.

(I am also hoping to get the debian box to do the linux/scope. )

Now, I have one I would like to convert for you that shows the nodes.

EDIT,
Here it is
@IotaYodi this is a good example of the nodes you are talking about.
When I freeze the scope only 1 wave appears, but I do think this is what you are talking about. I don't know anything about scalar waves, but here is the mov file

It opens in quicktime.

So are you saying the JT was hooked up when you got this waveform?

No, nothing was hooked up.  Just the EB to the scope.  What I am saying is that after seeing these three waves intertwined, that possibly I accidentally was setting up a near resonance with my JT and super cap circuits as I was getting more power out than I even had before during my experiments using that circuit. 

For the scope shots, nothing in the circuit except the EB and the scope.

@all

Here is my data from this afternoon. I still do not see much of anything on the scope. However the volts have went up from this morning.

Hi Altrez,
Are you also restricted by not owning your land?
I think your results might improve if you were to separate the probes more than they are.

But first!
Please go back out before it is too dark and set it up again and push the up button until you are reading Mv. I do not know why they made a cap letter. but these would be millivolts.
I am at the range of 10 Mv/div for this. You get a nice wave until you get the to closest (most to the right) point. Then it smoothes out.

So then, go to the left and the right once you have the waves visible. OK?

Let me know or see, if there is still enough light.
