Stubblefield Earth Cell Battery Demonstration

[valveman12]

Are you using a pourous insulation for the copper wire such as cotton? I read in order for this to work, the copper must have a pourous insulation and the iron wire wither bare or a pourous insulation as well. This is so the exchange of electrons occurs in solution to produce a current.

[sunjinn]

like honestly if ypu had some salt and water u can step up the voltage and abit of acide will helt but if you had a bunch in parrelle you will grt more volts its pritty nice try it out.

[littlemanisme]

I'm not lying but I'm related Nathan Stubblefield. I was born in Murray, almost all the relatives on my father's side of the family live in Calloway County where Murray is. Also, my great-grandfather was his cousin or something of the sort.

[rahc09]

this is our lovely earth,.. love him.

[Pirate88179]

Check out my earth battery video where I light up a 48" long fluorescent tube from it. You can see it on my channel: Pirate88179.

[EarthDaddyo]

Read about the Communications with Submarines on Wikipedia, it's using the same theories of Stubblefield's.

[EarthDaddyo]

Electromagnetic induction traveling thru the aether waves.

[EarthDaddyo]

Since Stubblefield could power and heat his home for over 2 months using the earth battery that invented, it seems there must be more of what's not told by him.

He made the "Hills Blossom with Light" there in Kentucky afterall. Brilliant man who was taken for granted. Lets learn how he did it so we too can free electric and heat from Mother Earth!

[rainmanp7]

concerning Stubblefield :) Keep up the great work man :) maybe the animals running around the yard urinating on the trees & ground making acid = created acid earth to create more power :) try making a home made step up transformer :) from simple buy at the store materials :) or trash...

rainmanp7 aka cryogenics. Keep up the great work :)

[brimstone033]

You are absolutely right, there are many variables that could alter the output of the coil. Thanks for your interest.

[XboxNerd08]

about how many AMP's did you get off that?

[ka0spm]

This is just a start on the Stubblefield battery, the voltage is just eh chemical reaction of the iron and copper at .92 volts. The power that Nathan Stubblefield got was way more, enough to run arc lamps. There are several steps the author did not do that are in the patent to draw up the current from the ground. It just might be that there are some things left out to prevent patent stealer's from using ideas he had to really create energy.

[brimstone033]

Yes, he also ran a small motor for some 60 days with his battery. It does seem that there is much more to be uncovered with his patent. Although, the book is a wonderful read.

[jhr001]

Book name? :)

[casstete1]

@ka0spm

rubbisits earth magnetic energy revolving around the earth .. and iron and copper never touch and have between them earth

[CoolMaDude]

This Stubblefield dude should be famous. He was good friends with Telsa and named his kid after him.

All his inventions were before anyone else.

[CoolMaDude]

This is from Nathan Stubblefield's Earth Battery right?

[netlethe]

Keep up the good work ... don't listen to the "spoilers" ...

[Br0kenMan]

I have a question. If your meter is connected to copper one side and iron the other, in an electrolyte, how do NOT measure the chemical reaction between them? The electrons will try to move due to the potential voltage difference of the metals. I think this is a simple redox reaction using the natural moisture and electrolytes in the soil. When you added water you increased electrolyte concentration and voltage grew. If you dropped your capacitor in a bucket of cola you would get the same efefct

[brimstone033]

Well heres the thing, the copper winding is completely insulated (the copper winding in the inside, not the crappy copper enameled winding). It is speaker wire, so the copper never touches the earth. This particular coil was used to test induction (telluric currents) rather that conduction (chemical reaction). I made another coil that used 20awg enameled wire, scraped off in spots. A greater response with the water, but very little peak voltage, around .2V, if this helps, thanks for the interest

[Br0kenMan]

Ah i see. Thanks for responding and clearing that up. Great work ... keep it up.

[myleftnutts]

@brimstone033 nice effort brim,however i was wondering did u dope your copper wire???.

[brimstone033]

All I need is a little money for initial costs and, of course experimentation, I promised myself (and others) a long time ago that I will never pay for power. Why do so when energy is everywhere and can be captured? What a great feeling to have to know the truth.

[asherasator]

Tesla, Moray & others are correct there is so much energy available it's bewildering, government & corporate gods cannot profit from it. The technological jump would change everything with how we live, most people are too busy trying to get by, watch sports or do other meaningless activity & just go along with existing technology. Every homeowner right now can have total solar power running their homes, they don't because they think it can't be done, it's been mastered a long time ago.

[Violetswirl]

great video, thanks for making this.

Question - Why do you need to put spaces between the steel windings? If you would film a short demo of actually making the battery that would be helpful.

[brimstone033]

I would be happy to when I get the time to do so. The space between the copper and iron windings acts as a medium for inductance as well as capacitance of the energy spilling all around the coil. the metals directly affect the direction of the electrons. As in the iron (anode) the electrons flow to the copper (cathode), just like a battery, except in this case, the source of power is not the chemical reaction of alkaloids, it is the inductance of telluric currents that pass by the coil.

[brimstone033]

if you are looking for more information on this subject, please look up Nathan Stubblefield's original patent for the earth battery. Its a wealth of info, as well as the dozens of replicators out there. Of course I will continue to experiment when time and energy are on my side, thanks so much for the interest!

[swapvid]

Sounds great. I would like to see more.

[westkan]

A bit of narration at a bit more volume would have help a lot.

[joshawawow]

hey boxa888 imagine this system in conjunction with your radiant energy devive. the possibilities?

[boxa888]

man, just imagine if they allowed teslas wardencliff tower. we would have had resonance of the earth currents and the atomosphere, bringing down huge energy shifts. those earth batteries would be able to pull as much energy as needed for a device. 12v 24v 110v 220v .. up and up and up!! it sux the rich shut him down!!

[brimstone033]

This world would be so much different if the tower had been allowed to function, or even if his good name would have been more known by this time. Its really sux that nobody really knows about him or his work, because it revolutionized technology for everyone. I can't tell u how many times I've had to correct someone about the true creator of AC. But it always feels good to know that one more person has been educated. U should look up Nathan Stubblefield's bio, I'm sure u'll find it interesting

[boxa888]

wow! i feel the same way. i educate people too, i tell them to look him up. i fight with college teachers who dont agree with his work, i made one guy give in and say that "yes, he did make ac and ball lightning", i was like "seeee" and to think professor had a phd or whatever.

[boxa888]

i also had another teacher agree with me on resonance of high frequency and teslas work. he told me that as long as the frequency is high enough it will split atoms with barely any energy. i was really surprise!!! i never knew that, he also told me about blackbody radiation, supposedly metal has infinite energy if it could be harnessed some how, i was soo amazed, after all this time being taught this stuffs impossible,and then this scientist/professor shakes my world views about energy!!!. woo

[asherasator]

Metal attracts electromagnetic energy, Uranium, Plutonium even more so, what is not explained is that radioactive elements do nothing more than 'capture' energy, they are 'nets', radium releases Beta rays/electrons, the earth is hit constantly by very high energies, just like a solar cell captures solar energy, other minerals can capure other frequncies which can be absorbed into a capacitor engineers can easily develop devices to do this they just don't.

[asherasator]

Most college professors do nothing but educate to fit people in the existing business & technological structure, our society is extremely suppressed when it comes to energy because of the existing tyranical corporate interests. Their Ph.Ds mean nothing in the bigger picture & indirectly are co-conspirators.

[donleibold]

I would say they just didn't know any better .Did you tell them.Did your dad tell them!I thought my dad was smart,he read a lot.But less had been written during his time, but in my time we have info overload.There are big truths and big lies.Science has moved away from observable science into theoretics building unproved principles based on theorys which are also based on more theory's.Our recorded knowledge has so many errors and only few are seeing the truth because every one else is detracted

[Haley8nowhere]

thanks for sharing!

I thought that in terms to capture the earth's waves the coil needs to be layres of spirals one on top of the other forming a cylinder: or otherwise said, wire spiraled over flat disc plane and all the discs layered on "floors" and interconnected... Must be many alternatives anyway. Good luck!

[mutwa]

To increase voltage with 2 or more cells is the tricky part, cause they short each other out. Find a way to isolate the cells from each other, while allowing the soil inside to naturally replenish itself, with some type of insulator which allows moisture through. If you don't do this, when adding cells together, you will only get a tiny fraction of a increase in wattage.

[brimstone033]

there are a myriad of variables that both increase and decrease voltage, the problem is that any one area that may give higher values may be different from another. That is, if this coil was poked and prodded and finally tweaked into a perfect spot with high values, it may be that another area could have even better values without so much effort. In short, one must endlessly experiment in order to find the best values, or even a pattern.

[josephdupont]

you might charge up capacitors and then put them in series for higher voltages.

[brimstone033]

yes, a sort of step charging system from ground power, it has worked, but i have yet to make a video for it.

[d00deth]

You know, to be brutally honest, I seem to have a higher voltage (DDC) from my skin than what you're getting out of that thing. Oddly I have four times what the highest I've tested off any friends, I concede that, but regardless, that's pretty low useless voltage.

[RockManAU]

More Variables: 3 Ryd7777 suggested the Nth Sth orientation may have an impact but I was thinking about how the plasma tube on the GEET engine requires a 20min 'burn-in' period while oriented Nth Sth before the engine can be used in other orientations, this burn-in time may be required here too! 4 Also mentioned were Geo Magnetic Lay lines; good point! 5 I wonder if using dowsing to locate an underground water source and testing in the soil above that artesian water would make a difference.

[d00deth]

Dowsing doesn't work, it was debunked in 1983 by James Randi to scientific double blind standards. Educate yourself, foo.

[donleibold]

what was the chemical makeup of the human subject in question performing the experiment?

[RockManAU]

It's usually the variables that make all the difference at this level of experimentation so here are some thoughts that came to mind: 1 The soil in this vid looks kinda clay like, was wondering if it would work better in richer soil (i.e. more fertile red volcanic soil types) 2 Maybe the pH of the soil has an impact too (meters are available to test this & you could alter the pH yourself by adding acids or bases to the water used to wet the soil.) continued...

[donleibold]

I wonder what a coil held in the red sea would work well

[RockManAU]

Thx 4 the vid brimstone033 Always pleases me to see Free Energy devices in opperation! Prior to seeing this, I had only read of these cells. Great to see intelligent comments happening; thanks for your input Ryd7777 & I like your idea about a step up circuit too.

[brimstone033]

The only thing is that it still takes about a minute for the cap to charge. I'm waiting on the probes in the mail, and I'm still going to make a better cell, but this is a wonderful start. Thank you so much for the idea of introducing a cap to complete the circuit.

[Ryd7777]

Excellent news. glad to hear ya lit up an LED. As for the cap taking about 1 min to charge, thats not too bad really. Just experiment in different areas and positions with your probes until you get the best charge times.

[Ryd7777]

What I hope to achieve, at least in my own small backyard and simple probe arrangement is to find the most consistent power out of my probes I can. Then I will get a circuit built that stores the charge into a supercap or ultracap to run some garden lights later.

[brimstone033]

Thats a wonderful idea, I've heard of that kind of setup with solar panels charging supercaps for garden lights. I'm having trouble finding prices on supercaps though, I imagine they're a bit expensive.

[Ryd7777]

I think I might have stumbled on a way to increase cells output without cancelling itself out. I need to buy a few supplies this coming weekend to test it properly, though in a quick mock up using spare copper pipe and zinc plated screws found in the shed, 2 cells 1.73v runs my bigger lcd clock that has an alarm (just not very loud alarm lol). 3 cells lit up an LED to half brightness continuously no probs. I want to power my small pocket radio.

[Ryd7777]

I have a feeling I might be able to power my small radio with about 6 cells or so. anyways the only thing im worried about is wether the cells keep their charge as long. If they do, then i've nailed stage 2 type cells. I will post results after experiment this weekend.

[brimstone033]

That's great. And very interesting, I've only been able to work on my setup at night lately, so the values of my cell have been quite low.

[brimstone033]

I've had a successful run with a copper pipe and zinc plated bolt, much more than my other cell, copper N and zinc pl. bolt S, charged cap to 1.00v (a record for me) in about a minute. 10ft or about 3m apart. It lit up the same LED to a little more power than the previous cell.

[brimstone033]

And sustained for much longer than the cell as well, although I need to run some more tests to get the final ratio of values and times. I am currently building the new Stubblefield cell, the speaker wire I used previously instead of the enameled magnet wire was a bad idea. That flaw will be remedied this time. Hopefully it will see more current than last time.

[Ryd7777]

excellent. 1.00v in a minute is awesome. I been thinking about using other materials such as graphite as well to increase potential voltage differences. As for my test this weekend I put in 6 cells and managed to light up a high brightness white LED to half brightness.

[Ryd7777]

I still couldn't measure any current even though the old tongue test on the leads had quite a bite, but not enough to run my little radio. Charging up my cap in series with the 6 cells lit up the LED like a welding arc for a short period, then back to half brightness

[Ryd7777]

Overall I think I'm wasting my time with multiple cells as the charge dosen't last near as long as the single setup. I think i will keep at singular probe setup wether it be a coil or single probe arrangement. I think just finding the right combination of materials, location, distance, in magnetic alignment is the key. btw I heard that tubular probes give the best result.

[brimstone033]

Yes, I think you are right about multiple probe arrangements. I tried 2 sets of probes in a parallel arrangement in hopes of increasing the current, but sadly, the LED did not change at all in brightness or last as long as single probes. Yet the bounceback of voltage was increased very much. Not exactly what I was going for but still worth a try.

[brimstone033]

The new Stubbl. cell is going slowly, I'm really trying to build it with a lot of care, I estimate that it will have around 30 layers of windings, all enamel sanded and checked for shorts. 10" long and almost 4" thick. its taking a long while, but can't wait to get it in the ground.

[brimstone033]

My zinc probe finally came in the mail, as soon as I put it in the ground, along with a copper pipe, it measured 1.08v, but didn't climb any further. Charge time on the cap was 48 seconds. It lit up a red LED to just about full brightness, but after about 5 seconds it diminished to half brightness. The zinc pl. bolt, 1v, has a slower cap charge time and a fairly consistent output with the LED, as compared to the zinc probe.

[Ryd7777]

Interesting to hear. Well at least you are getting voltages 1.00v and over, it's a great start. Once you can get around 1.6v consistent, you can then power a small lcd clock indefinately. It's not much for now but having a working clock is a practical use for starters.

[brimstone033]

Yes, its been quite a successful start with the probes, the Stubbl cell didn't quite work out, but I've never been one to give up. Have you gotten your probes to power up to 1.6v, that could probably run a small DC motor, provided there's enough current.

[Ryd7777]

unfortunately, Iv'e only gotten as far as 1.00v or so like yourself. However, I reckon if you could get a step charge circuit built that operates on .80v and very little current, or some other way to step up the voltage with minimal effort, the cell could then pulse charge batteries ect.

[donleibold]

is the led get bright again if you disconnect then reconnect the leads?

if not is there damage to the lead from over powering it?

Have you tried adding different resistors with the lead?

[brimstone033]

I just put the cell in the ground, nothing very impressive so far, about .78v. Of course its been soaking in a pan of water for about 9 or 10 days, at .88v most recently. I also bought a 10k uf cap today so I can test charging times and hopefully get something to happen. How much time did you notice in between cap charges, is it literally one after the other, or is there a period of time that the setup must 'rest' in between charges.

[Ryd7777]

Well, I've done abit of both. Iv'e tried charging one after the other, upto 20-30 times in a row, and at times after a few minutes or so because i might have been writing stuff down or tinkering. I've noticed that when I had my cell in its sweet spot, and had my meter on it, I charge my cap, and within a second or so its back at its original voltage. Though another cell i made the other day wont bounce back after i charge a cap with it, takes about 5min to recover.

[Ryd7777]

btw I meant ot say in a previous post that during the night time you can get flucuations of 50-80 millivolts less than the daytime, but don't let that worry you too much because on testing with my 'good cell' I still got my 26 sec charge time @.80v. I try for a min of .90v when setting up a cell and usually get it averaging around .95-.97v

[Ryd7777]

The thing is, little things can throw ya off, like corrosion of alligator clips (my fav), loose wires, probes not in ground firm enough. But now ya have got a cap try hooking it in series with ya cell and grab some L.E.D's. that will also give ya an indication of the current. I can light a red led 3v- 30MA reasonbly bright with my cell and cap in series.

[brimstone033]

I surely will, I've been testing every few hours, but its been at .74v to .78v so far. I have noticed the fluctuations as well during the night and day, yes, around 40 - 80 millivolts. Still not as good as when it was in the ground at Kentucky(on movie), which was fairly rural. I'll have to experiement with the cap and LEDs when I get off work.

[brimstone033]

Well, the cell is now at .83v which is higher than I thought it would be, the cap charged to .81v in about a minute, and after connecting it all in series with an LED, nothing happened unfortunately. Yet since the cell has increased over 1 day, I'll try again tomorrow during the day (and of course, again and again tonight lol) I believe I'll make a better cell, I also need to try this setup out of the city.

[brimstone033]

The obvious problem is that my cell is not generating enough current to light the LED, I tried several different ways of connecting it just in case I did something wrong, and I tested the LED before connecting it. The bounce back of the cell, however, was actually quite fast, around 2-3 sec.

[Ryd7777]

For sure, I really need to get out of the backyard and experiment out in rural areas as well and play with some distances. I dont think im going to get much more from my probe unless i build the stubblefield coil which i will start soon. If I can get some better results with the coil, i will post some videos.

[brimstone033]

I will have to get a hold of some copper and zinc probes so I can try that previous setup with the cell in the center and the bottom exposed wires connected to the N and S oriented probes. Just a feeling, but I believe that it will have more of an influence on current extraction (i need also a more properly constructed cell). Good luck on your cell, hope yours works out better than mine.

[Ryd7777]

All the best mate, I will keep ya posted but in the meantime, grab yourself from an electronics shop a small lcd clock that takes one battery only, preferably the button battery type. Grab one that has no light or alarm, just one that shows a basic time and date.

[Ryd7777]

Continued... That way even the most basic of cell setup will power it. Just series up your cell with a cap to say 1.6v and see how long you can run it for. its abit of a pain jamming wires in the back to connect it but worth it. Also try for around 1.6v as they are designed for 1.5v and wont work if the voltage is too high either. Watching a clock isnt exactly the end of what we hope to achieve, but certainly puts a smile on your face being able to power it

[Ryd7777]

Yes, I defintately recommend trying out the North South orientation with your probes. I noticed the gain in current was significantly higher, and also more consistent.

[brimstone033]

I've been on the lookout for a small lcd clock like that, when I find one I sure will try it. The cell won't charge the cap higher than around .89-.9v, even then it won't light the LED, too bad lol. There are a few more things I'd like to try with this cell (including the lcd clock), but my next cell will be much better. Oh yes, keep me posted on your progress, I'd love to hear it.

[brimstone033]

I figure I'm getting some sort of current, though less that 30mA, probably much less. I'll try decreasing the resistance as much as possible. I'm waiting on a big rain also, hoping that the saturated ground will help. I've poured probably 10 gallons of water over the area in the past few days, but I'm sure a nice big rain will add some current to the circuit. Oh, about how long are your probes?

[Ryd7777]

I have my copper and zinc probe at about 10cm long each.

I've tried 4ft long copper probes, but I didnt notice any difference in voltage or current with smaller ones. Most of my soil out the back is clay, so not the easiest to dig in. I figure building a good working earth cell need not be a huge expense.

[brimstone033]

Alright! It works and it sure did put a smile on my face. We got the big rain today, the voltage went up a little from about .80 to 88v, not too much, but my galvanometer indicated that there was much more current in the cell than usual, so I charged the cap, hooked it in series with a green LED, and it lit up to about half its power.

[Ryd7777]

Well what little I have learned from having probes in the ground for long periods is that you do get a little variation in voltage (generally a little less voltage during the night). Around 5-8 millivots which is pretty normal. I dont seem to be getting as much current now as I did the last few months. couldbe seasonal variations. Also while my probes dont mind getting wet, I found my wiring does, so i try to keep my connections out of the weather.

[Ryd7777]

But the most important thing I've found is that in the right conditions (which I had with my probe) I can charge up my 10k uf cap all day long, charge after charge without affecting the cell voltage at all, and will charge up the same speed each time.

[Ryd7777]

I'm not really expecting a great deal with my probe design unless i buy a few hundred bucks worth of wire and do some serious distances or elevations, however if i can get my charge times down to say half they are now, then i might plug in some step charge circuitry and run my small pocket radio or just collect all the charge into some supercaps and run some not so solar lights :). stubblefield is definately the design for real power i believe though.

[brimstone033]

Yes, it sounds like there is a sort of sweet spot, you must have alot of patience tinkering with each probe until you found it! I'm sure it helps to have a constantly moist area in which to work, that's great. As for me, I've found a spot outside my apartment where I can experiment, I started digging today, hopefully I can have some real results soon.

[brimstone033]

The cell, however, is still .88v since the charging last night. Yes, that is what I want to do as well, taking light from the ground, in a matter of speaking. I'm certain this can be attained, I'm sure you are too.

[brimstone033]

Now that I think about it, some Stubblefield folklore that I read stated that he had put cells into the ground beside a tree and ran wires up the tree to individual lights. Could just be a story, but seems feasible with some sort of inverter and enough current.

[Ryd7777]

Am glad to hear ya got some space of your own to tinkler in. Not the same as being out in the wild, but nonetheless can learn a lot. I started off with the dieckmann? method of hooking up lots of probes in series. i did like 10 or so of them before i could light one L.E.D. (dimly) I probably wasted a couple of months on them, then realized one cell is the answer. AS the net suggests "run your whole house"- sure gimme 2.5 million and i will build ya a system that lasts two weeks lol

[Ryd7777]

As for us, I reckon our patience will reward us. As for all the documentation on stubblefield, I would say that for all of his achievements, I would say that most people would really under-estimate just how many hours he spent in the field working on his cell.

[brimstone033]

Oh absolutely, I believe the first time I heard about earth batteries was one of those schematics you'd have to buy on ebay. The more probes, the more current lol. Well, its alright that you spent so much time on probes in series, youve learned from it, now all that lies ahead is progress, after trial and error, of course.

[brimstone033]

Yes, its too bad that more hasn't been written about his cell, other than his patent, which I followed word for word in building my cell. This is just another example of wanting to go back in time to learn everything that I can alongside the inventor.

[Ryd7777]

ahh interesting idea. Btw i forgot to mention last time, my probe arrangement will tend to keep its charge and current very consistent if i leave the cell for 4-5 days without trying to power anything. I think it likes a few days to charge up abit.

[brimstone033]

That's very useful info, actually, but since my cell is currently sitting a pan of water (I seriously need a yard) it hasn't retained much of anything, about .80v. It does charge a cap after 40 sec or so, but the setup you previously described isn't going as well, it must be put into the earth obviously to work.

[brimstone033]

For curiosity's sake, I connected the cell to a weak battery charger (its weak because I built it lol) The voltage increased to 1.17v, but fell over about 10 min, now it's steady at .88v. Still worth a try, though.

[Ryd7777]

for sure, i did another quick cell mockup today (it's winter here atm, so the ground is nice and moist). After i line up the cell in a north south orientation, i dont try for so much the highest voltage, but position the probe with respect to the quickest bounce back of charge. today i put in a probe and it read .95v and after 1-2 hours it read 1.03v which i found suprising. However when I charged a cap with it, it dropped down to .88 or so volts.

[Ryd7777]

Then later on I just moved the south probe (zinc) one around abit and got a reading of .93v, then i charged a cap to .80v, I then measured the cell and it straight after and it retained its .93v. so it seems even in a fairly good North South probe alignment, there seems to be a sweet spot for consistent current. Btw i made a mistake with the cap size, its acutally a 10,000uf cap.

[Ryd7777]

sorry for all the posts but a 500 char limit dont get ya much of a post lol. good luck with ya experiment mate, am eager to hear more in the future.

[brimstone033]

Yes, that's why I experimented in a somewhat rural wooded area (I don't have a yard! lol), I also heard that if the Stubblefield cell is placed in the earth near a tree, the output is considerably increased, but I need to do some more research. I have heard of that way of constructing the Stubbl cell with enamel mag wire sanded and checked for shorts(from J. Bedini's page).

[brimstone033]

I had kind of the same idea as yours except having the Stubbl cell bottom bare wires attached to copper and iron(or zinc) probes and set far apart in N and S orientation (so the Stubbl cell would be in between them) Organic insulation is a very good idea, oh yes, an ether vortex in combination with magnetricity from the earth? One could only imagine what kind of power that would produce, if made and extracted correctly. Probably the closest we'll ever get to electrical alchemy.

[brimstone033]

Don't worry about the numerous posts, keep them coming!

[Ryd7777]

Continued.. Then i was thinking of having the bottom ends of bare copper and iron wire bent downwards and place in the earth in a North (copper) and South orientation. Also the reason for using organic insulation with the metal wires is that alternating layers of metal and organic material create an ether vortex inside your coil. :)

[Ryd7777]

PS: on the stubblefield setup, I was thinking that i would try a large iron bolt, wrap it in alternating layers of copper and iron wire with some sort of organic insulation bewteen the copper and iron wire. But i would also sand of the enamel coating off each layer of copper wire and check for shorts.

I haven't been able to test the space variations very much as yet , though I have heard about increased current and voltages over large distances. (my current setup is at 5m apart) Atm I have only experimented in my small backyard with distances of 3m, 5m and running a wire from front to back of yard about 20m, but no real noticeable difference in those spaces. I need to get out in the bush for some better tests, urban living may interefere with the probes voltage and current.

Well to run the clock I used one copper probe and one zinc probe + the charged cap. The problem i found with using probes in series is that you severely limit the current you can aquire. heres' the dilemma im working on:

using probes in series can get voltages as high as you like, but current around 0.5 milliamps (not to mention expensive in copper)

using my single probe setup i estimate im getting around 30 millimaps of current at .90v, but cant series them up.

I see, in that case I might just try more windings. Did you have to experiment with different variations of space between the probes, or did the voltage or current seem pretty constant no matter the length of space in between them. Thanks for the input.

Cool video. I've also been mucking about with earth batteries and so far have gained with a small copper and zinc probe a voltage around .97v constant which can charge a 5600uf cap to .80v in 26 secs. still have to try stubblefield design though.

that's interesting, i also tried that method of earth batteries, but didn't have much luck with it.

I noticed that the only way i seem to get consistent current and voltage from the single probe arrangement is if the soil is constantly moist and the probes are aligned in north south orientation. copper probe N and zinc probe S.

A thing I've tried with this cell so far.

charging a 5600uf cap to .80v (which my cell does in 26 secs) then i put it in series with the cell and it will power a small 1.5v LCD clock for 20min or so.

That sounds like real progress. How many pairs of copper and zinc probes did you have in the ground? I'm going to try having more than one stubblefield battery, connected in series.
