Thanks Kevin and Aaron
some months ago we made a grounding contur near the house, basically we took three about 4feet long 1" diameter stainless steel rods and hammered the into ground a half feet below ground level. The rods were about 4 feet apart from each other forming a triangle. Then we digged up some of the ground to gave better access to the rods. We welded the thre rods together with a thinner rod. When the rods were all jouned together, we burried the hole and left only one end of a stainless steel screw above the ground level. Initially it was planned to be lightning catcher (I do not know the exact term) that grounds all the lightning energy via an isolated antenna that is raised to the highest point. This way if lightning hits the house, the energy travels through the antenna and into the grounded rods doing no damage to the house. So now I am using this rod system as a ground that is attached to my SSG through a diode. Its been raining for several days now, I think that the ground should be good. Will see if this will improve something. Also I now use the whole 6 transistor setup (two trifilar coils and one recovery coil with only one strand), tha magnets are in the standart N facing out position, double stacked. I will post pictures later. Now I am in the battery conditioning process, after some charge/discharge cycles I will try to rotate the batteries to see if I can get a COP above 1. But I observed an interesting thing last night. At first my SSG was powered with a variac/bridge rectifier/ some smoothing capacitors at 12v. When I first run the six transistor SSG this way, I made the neon bulb experiment. I grabbed one lead of the neon bulb in my fingers and touched various places on my SSG with the other lead. Touching either charging battery terminal made the bulb to turn on to a moderate brightness. The same happened when I touched the transistor cases, then I touched the central steel shaft of my SSG and the bulb lid up dimmly, it did so also if sime screws in the plywood base of the SSG was touched. That means, that there is a field around the SSG that makes any metal to gain enough charge to light up a neon bulb. I went further with this experiment, I touched the leads of the smoothing capacitor, the leads of the bridge rectifier on either side and even the variac metal casing, the bulb lid up at moderate brightness. Now I touched some other devices withe the neon bulb lead to see what will happen. The neon bulb lid up when I touched the computer case, or turned off TV screen (static electricity?). I have this CBA battery tester attached to my laptop, it has an aluminum radiator, a fan and a fangrill made of metal. So I touched this fan grill and the bulb lid up again. The interesting part is that when I disconnect the laptop from the AC outlet, the bulb does not turn on anymore. The same thing happens if I power the SSG with a battery instead of variac, the bulb does not shine at all, no matter what I am touching with it. My house has no ground wiring as it was built a long time ago at so called "russian times", back then nobody worried about electrical safety. Instead of grounding wo now have a so called leak automat (I dont know the correct term), that counts the electricity going in and electricity that is going out, if there is a leak, it will automatically shut off the electricity. These devides are constructed so, that I could touch the leads of the 220v AC outlet directly with my fingers and would not be soched or shoched only a little bit before the automat shuts off the power. Not that I've tried it
I made another experiment, I connected 3 neon bulbs in series and attached one lead to my computer case and the other to a radiator (ground), the bulbs dtarted to flash at about one time per second. I think this is due to the capacity of the metal case, the voltage potential takes some time to rise enough to ionize the gas inside the bulbs, hen that hapens, the bulbs start to conduct and even up the voltage difference in a fast flash. These bulbs are designed to come up at voltages above 90V I tried to measure the voltage across the bulb when It was shining attached to a computer case, the meter did not read anything also when I attached the meter leads to the bulb, the bulb turned off. I gues that is why John Bedini says, taht there should be no measurement device on the charging battery, because this affects the charging. Also I can light up even three bulbs in series, but not more than one in parallel.
