Stubblefield coil as a galvanic capacitor to power an Adams motor. No battery.
Galvanic pair here is a steel bolt and copper tube with a cotton layer between.
It runs as long as a cotton stays wet; if placed in the ground it can run till cotton gone, months, years.
Secondary coil lights a LED 'cause the primary field collapses.
But a real genius of Natan Stubblefield is a wireless power transmission through the ground.

  • ok have you tryed setting hollow induction coils next to it to generate more power free near the spinning rotter

  • @skunkape49

    yes, but it only good for one or two LEDs;

    trying to increase the generating power by coils configurations...

    cheers

  • How long will it run on that "power supply"?

  • @kafr8413

    every two days i have to wet it, after 3 weeks cotton's gone and i see heavy metals' corrosion;

    not very good idea for alt-power-supply case...

    i mean not as good as magnets with they very long time life expectancy...

    cheers

  • @Mopozco I'll bet if you used a polymer based microfibre rag and nickel instead of steel, you'd have the Edison version. You'd need to use caustic soda the first time though, get the electrolyte catalyst up. Cheers. Nice work. PS> you can dissolve nickels (check which years are 99.9%) with acid and home-electroplate the steel bolt.

  • thks, Kyle, it's a good idea, i'll try;

    needa something that lasts...

    cheers

see all
