I had an idea that the Stub's earth battery worked like a trifilar joule thief. If you look at the inner coil in the patent you'll see that it is sealed, the only thing touching earth is the ends of the core. So galvanic's is not going on here. I think the inner bifilar coil leads are connected like Ed's PMH and one is connected to a north running copper wire and the other to a south running magnesium wire, both in the earth. He primes the bifilar coil to flood it with magnets so the N/S wires don't have too and to get the magents moving. Then it self regulates to the earth and starts to flood the outer coil, stepping up the voltage that can do work.
Sorry for going off topic, but my mind wonders all over this stuff.
