@ Jesus, IotaYodi, Shylo & Pirate88179.
Thank you all for the acolades, but I'm only 1/3 of the way through the winds.
Got a long way to go, but the coil has been putting out a small amount of DC.
I wet down the coil about 24 hours ago and it is still putting out energy, although as the coil dries out the output drops.
It's been very overcast today, even had some showers, I have noticed the coil has been working longer than normal so humidity plays an important part in alowing it to operate longer.
Stubblefield buried his coils, the ground at his place must have had a certain level of moisture to keep things going for his coils. I find the dry air around here seems to suck the moisture right out of the coil so it's output drops as this happens.
@ Jesus,
Thankyou for you positive remarks, thankyou.
@IotaYodi,
Q1 Looking down onto the top of the coil where the start wires come out of the wooden ends, (left side of image) it is wound clockwize
Q2 Start and End wires, The start and end wires will eventually end up on the same side, as Nathan Stubblefield shows on his patent, my photo shows it different as I have not finished the coil, I wanted to show people what stage I was up to with the winds, and what the inturnal layers actually look like during the winding process.
I have a heep more layers and turns to go yet. When it is completed I will lay it in different configurations and should be able to answer you questions then.
I have had to slow down the motor drive as the diameter of the coil grows, so does the circumference speed.
@ shylo
Thankyou also,
You have been very industrous with all your coils, and placing them in Series Parallel will give you workable combinations, I did a similar process with my copper pipe and zinc nail setup I had here last year. It worked for almost a year, then stopped working, it is still outside in the earth, the weeds are covering it, I betta clear them and see how the electrodes are fareing.
@Pirate88179,
Ha ha, I like the place where the worms all popped up out of the ground.
I will try and get a copy of my software to you shortly, but need to send it either by CD or by ISO file, either way you will get one.
The distance you mentioned with your worms, seems to reflect what I am seeing when I pass a compass around this coils magnetic field.
The compass gives me a rough outline where the magnetic field is and it goes out a fair ways from the side of the coil, I took a compass and have mapped the magnetic field, this is a strange beast indeed.
see the JPG
@all.
This coil of mine is displaying both ends of the iron bolt as the north poles, thats right, it's not a typo error.
If you can imagine the coil laying in front of you with the domed head of the central bolt to the left and the threaded end to the right of you.
The winds are between the wooden ends.
The magnetic (N) north pole is at the domed head, I moved the compass around the outside edge of the wooden end, got to the top edge then the compas flips to the (S) south pole, I move the compas to the right parallel along the top row of winds, then abruptly about center, the magnetic field changes back to North (N), I keep moving the compas to the right of the coil and the reach the wooden end, the compas still points to (N) North, I bring the compas around to the side of of the wooden disk to the threaded bolt end and it still points to North (N)
This coil is defying all sensible known magnetic field stuff, well there may be an explination for this, but I carn't come up with one..
The usual outlay is if you have an iron bolt you usually have a (N) and a (S) pole
This Stubblefield coil is displaying a (N) pole at either end of the steel bolt.
The South POLE is to the left side of half of the coil winds, the other half of the coil winds are displaying a (N) North magnetic field, the center of the bolt to the right side is also still a (N) North pole.
I havent a clue to what's hapenning here at all.

At this stage I cannot see any fluxation of the magnetic field, it is static, I think I need to put more winds on this beast
