OFF GRID POWER? The Earth Battery Experiment

[@homemurso1484]

One of humanity's little travestis is the loss of time spent in and around garages and backyards with our fathers or children on some sunday afternoon just going through learning and teaching about tools and processes and experiments and bounding. It was a precious pleasure and skills gaining valuable experience that is becoming more and more rare. Every capable adult must always try his or her best to make young people regain that little ol'spark in the eyes we all once had when being through those experiences with our fathers and family.

There's an old GS 14 whose name I cannot recall that gave me that analogy back when I was in naval Gunnery school .. they trained us on how to work with electronic circuits .. but then i went off and went to work on the oldest system the Navy had .. no electronics 😁 Finally, the education pays off!

[@justinis1454]

Good experiments ! I would offer some advice dealing with such low voltages and currents. Don't interface your body with the terminals. AT 25:48 where the voltage is "jumping all over the place" it's more than likely because you are handling the terminals. You can just hold the test meter probes in your hands, left and right, and you will measure a voltage, also in handling the terminals you will be dissipating current through your body, which will lower the voltage. Your body will act as a resistor and also as a capacitor. Either wear insulated gloves, or simply don't touch the terminals when your taking measurements, you also made this mistake earlier in the video, where you were measuring the bare rods in the soil, you were steadying your hands on the anode and cathode whilst taking a reading. Hope this helps, but really, great experiment ! I've seen a lot of these experiments, and all with interesting results, but people often comment on how low the power output is. Of course, like anything, this is simply a matter of scale, and practicality, multiplying 1 by 12, or 1 by 120 or 240 isn't rocket science after all :)

Ok I want to say this was a good experiment, But i think it is truly possibly to get great amount of power from the earth like this using the right metal and method. Lets think for a moment I want to make you think like Mr Tesla. There is energy all around us. Rf waves energy from space , wind, the sun. You can even get energy from water if you do it the right way. Is there free energy. Yes I truly think so. We just have to put all of our minds together and harness it.

I don't disagree, but it would take much larger electrodes and more space to get a truly effective current out of this particular set up - outside of my budget at the moment, but there are some other ideas that I want to try, too 😊

Thank you. I've always been intimidated by electricity but you've inspired me to challenge my fear. Got clean and sober at 54 and had zero skills. I've learned so much in 10 yrs. and found in the process I had the ability to do things I've spent my whole life paying for. Our country is in huge trouble. We got caught sleeping at the switch and have not engaged ourselves in our neighbors and communities. There are so many people who have been conditioned to believe the government should fix our problems. But our problems are only a symptom of the real problem of us being disengaged. I can't even tell you the pride I felt when I empowered myself with knowledge and action. We can come together and fix this country. It's gonna take helping and inspiring others to do the same. We all have differences we can focus on, but we also have much more in common and no telling the solutions we can accomplish by coming together and that will inspire a pride and confidence we can build on. Great video btw

The max voltage per cell is set by the choice of metals. The max current is determined by the electrolyte conductivity and acidity and the total surface area of the electrodes and probably the distance between them. So I'd suggest using closely-spaced metal sheets with a porous separator immersed in a conductive liquid (try lemon juice, vinegar, salt solution, etc.)

The thing that made it effective for the old telegraph system was massive electrodes and LOOONG distances - locally, its just chemical battery action, but you are correct: integrating a 'joule thief' into the circuit would permit one to get the 5vdc needed to charge a device, it would just take a little while. Experimenting with bio cells is still on my list, but my multi-layer perennial gardening is taking priority. My landscape lights run on 12 vdc, 4.5w - Too much for the earth battery, but with bio cells, now that might be enough to light it up.

For best effect, run trenches so that the wiring can be buried, install 3 ft long copper rods a foot apart, and every other one is positive and anode. From each set you need to install an attachment for the wire and wire every anode parallel, from each cathode install two diodes to the common cathode lead and a 10 mfd 25 vdc electrolytic capacity at each set, the positive to the positive side of the diode and the negative to the common cathode. This is to prevent bleed back to ground and keep the amperage building on each line of probes. Doing this with longer probes you will find each line of a dozen pairs will multiply and have a combined +.74 volts and around 185 milliards of available power. This can be ramped up on a power ladder board and on 1/10 of an acre I got enough to charge a 12 volt 30 amp solar charger system to a large deep sell battery. I've tried different wiring schematics from PNP transistors to 1N915 switching diodes and power rectifiers, basically use the cheaper and smaller voltage items where the power is low and ramp up to power voltage devices in higher positions, and the Schuman voltage response can be captured and used 24-7 to power devices until the elements become eroded away depending on the soil in y9our location. Next year I'll throw a schematic together and post it on KZbin to demonstrate it can be added to a solar and wind combined system to achieve more charging even when there is no wind or sun. Another system is to use antennas much the same way, convert available power in ambient frequency in the air to do the same thing, no moving parts.

I think you should make coils of copper and aluminum around iron rods before putting it into the dirt instead of just putting copper and aluminum rods. Both coils must be insulated but just leave a bit uninsulated at the bottom end. Plus connect the copper and aluminum coils to a high amp connected to a low amp then connect it to a capacitor for consistent flow of electric current. Finally test this to the Vault metre.

I did that an pissed around it an it went up to 2 volts , but not much milliamps

Tesla planted his electrodes 400 feet deep in the Earth, and built a 200 foot tall tower that sometimes produced lightning bolts. Tesla said that he would transmit electricity by microwaves and that anyone with an antenna could receive the power for free. J.P. Morgan ran a bank, and didn't like losing money.

[@Green.Country.Agroforestry]

I wouldn't want to quote numbers without running some calculations first, but yes, you can trade voltage for amperage .. although you would loose some energy to heat in the process, so starting with greater surface area on the electrodes might be a better idea. The cells that are in-ground and open at the bottom did not loose any power over the week, and if one were to wire them in parallel, that would increase amperage as well.

I did not see a difference in output between the electrodes in cells and electrodes in the soil directly (so long as the electrodes were of the same surface area .. changing surface area affected amperage, but not voltage) I imagine that at some point, the surface of the electrodes would become oxidized, and then they would need to be cleaned off in order to bring voltage back up.

Thermal Electric Generators have some potential .. most likely involving the use of a thermal battery, and multiple means of heating water, compost heat, mass heaters, solar water heaters, ect.
