50mV x 50mA = 0.0025 watts
So you need 400 of your large coils to produce 1 watt.
24,000 coils to light (1) 60 watt light bulb.
That equals a lot of $, space, weight and materials to light 1 bulb!

you think this is intended to light 60watt lightbulbs? 
what is 'painfully obvious', is that you don't have a clue... lasersaber is not trying to light up 60watt incandescent bulbs nor should he be. that would be similar to you trying to light up a 60watt bulb with a dead AA battery. it doesn't make sense, just like your comment.

user2718218 (milehigh) has demonstrated his penchant for pedantism numerous times in numerous places. as far as his advice, i wouldn't bother with it... this reminds me of the joule thief thread where guys that think you know it all (like yourself and user2718218) go off on some tangent (in an attempt to drag everyone, including the experimenters, off into never never land with you) without ever understanding the intent of original experiment or device, like suggesting how many devices will be necessary to light a 60watt bulb.

I don't see a pratical application for this device due to the issues I presented.

What practical application do you envision for a device of this cost, size, and weight with negligible output?

@dllabarre: You have a scope? I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

then you're not very imaginative nor creative...

your 60watt bulb suggestion is nothing more than a strawman. whether or not the device can light a 60watt bulb is irrelevant. whether or not the device is practical is irrelevant. capiche?

I decided to try building one of these. I'm using a hollow acrylic tube for the core so I can try different materials in there.
I got a few layers put on today. I wound one row of steel, then put a layer of cotton down. Then I wound a row of copper. I left enough space between the loops to keep them insulated from one another, and to have a space for the next winding to fit into.
Each row is a separate strand and I just connect them at the ends. This makes it much easier to wind.
I think in the end the result will be satisfactory since the copper will be right next to the steel, separated by a layer of cotton and all the layers will be in series.
I haven't taken any measurements yet except to check for shorts. I should have it done by tomorrow and then we'll see if it works.

Cheers,

Ted
