Practical energy generation is always going to be a cost benefit exercise - here I am trying an improvement that would cost very little. The original video is at • The Earth Battery As A... . - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
If voltage loss is an issue then why not put a lot of electrodes in the soil to collect amps then transform it into more volts and less amps at the end and ensure these high volts of isolated. You could build quite a few of these trenches (sufficiently away to be isolated) with an inverter to change to AC and then transformer at the end then wiring in series so your volts are say limited to 48v with high amps.
It seems like no matter what random project I’m thinking about, I always end up back on this channel. Thank you for all of the amazing info you have on such a wide range of topics!
I found a whisk from a kitchen goods shelf in a store in Thailand where I live! It has a spiral-like an Ighina coil, so I cut off the plastic handle and stuck it in the soil with the stem in the soil and spirals going upward in the form of a funnel to collect all that energy! It is stainless steel and was very cheap! So I tested it in dry soil with a reading of 0.554 of a volt on my 2 volt setting for the meter! I was quite surprised as I get about 0.185 volts from a similar copper winding of the same size! For me, next, is to determine whether wet soil will make a difference and if salt added would change the power rating? Your channel is most interesting!
I have 2 ground rods near my work bench and noticed a voltage between the two. One is copper clad steel rod and the other is galvanized steel. (zinc coated). I always assumed this small voltage was galvanic, but the different materials do create a different result when using them as the ground when collecting atmospheric electricity. I will revisit this and build some controls to test. Video coming soon.
That sounds interesting/promising. :)
send me the link mate - I would love to see
doesn't it
I was looking into the same, I'm currently working on making different coils and antennas.
did you test it eventually?
The Teacher 👨🏫 speaks I Listen 👂. Thank you so much for this video series.

I remember when I was a kid back in the early 80s. I lived in the Mojave desert in California, USA. I would take a branch off of a tree. Kind of like a evergreen tree. Then I would make a Y. Pull apart at the Y and place down by my knees. In my backyard was a big water pipe buried about four or five feet down. This Y branch would pull down to the point at the water pipe, so hard that I believe it would break the branch if I would not let it go down! Alot of power to be tapped there! I would play with that Y Branch or make a different one, off and on for the 3 years I lived there. I was just amazed at it! A kid that lived a block behind me, Thought i was joking around, like it wasn't really doing it on its own. I told him try it! I explained how to do it & when the stick pulled down ( on its own), his eyes got big! he threw the stick down and took off running & he never spoke to me again. I guess he thought I was some magic evil person? Lol. Some people call it" witching for water" and strange names. But there is some science behind it, If we could tap into that, someone would have a lot of power in their hands for free!
i agree mate and thanks for sharing that story - very funny and awesome lol
Current flow. This is why you are not allowed to build a structure above an aquifer. The Antediluvian/megalithic and pyramid builders knew this and so did Viktor Schauberger and Nikola Tesla.
Some people seem to be able to make "water-witching" (or "dowsing") work, and others are not (maybe with more practice, they could?) but I don't know if any of that would translate into tapable, usable electrical power.
@@maintoc I think it is 100% scientifically possible! I think some people can't do it only because they haven't been shown correctly, what type of wood, how to hold it and how high up off the ground. It is amazing and works really easy!
@rhy t awesome! Good to hear that and I am doing good brother! I live in Southern Illinois now. The last time I went out there was in 2011. Do you still live out there? It is a beautiful place!
I wonder if I could rig something like this up to power some low power led garden lights.
Thanks for the inspiration and appreciate the channel
Great info. Id love to see more on these types of battery
So, if the pvc is quieting “noise” and turning its interior into a battery cell, then you’d think that by maximizing the shape of the pvc pipe you’d increase efficiency. Also if by going deeper and farther apart you get different results we could start to map out the natural process of what’s going on. Thanks for the videos
Stay well and stay safe Robert and team.
We need people like you with your talents as we climb out of this horrible mess

you take care too mate
I got several hundred feet of 3/4 copper pipe from a demolition. Cut it about ~3 ft. Or one meter. I then bought a bunch of Galvanized electric fence post 3/8 diameter I then slipped old garden hose as a insulator and slipped inside of copper pipe. I used a steel round bar to
Pre bore hole to slip electrodes in ground. Pre weld copper wire to copper and Zink plated rod +/-. With silver solder. Wire in series . I built system
In 1986 and still working after I moved away 15 years.
Hi Chet, what sort of volts & amps did it put out?
@@martinfalls1023 I built in 1980 . I used a old pressure cooker for brown gas generator for a outside gas mantle light.
I used rain water and float valve and strainer at rain barrel. I sold property
In early 90s and was still burning.
If I remember ~4 volts and .5 amp
Sorry I can't be more definite, but
It did make gas enough to burn a
Low light quite well 24 seven for years.
Today I would dump load in a Capacitor
Battery for intermittent use.
waw, Mr Robert am so impressed thanks so much
Thanks Robert. Your sunny smiles and inquisitive nature cheer me up on yet another day in virtual house arrest! Back to organ music punching for me,but I wish I could sit under a tree for that. No chance here, unless I wait for 10 years. 🙂🤪🙃😉
lol - cheers mate and here's hoping one day!
very cool Rob keep em coming ! 😎
cheers mate
I did that with six vente Starbucks cups, and drove 1 led for over a year. Every few months the led would start dim and I would just rehydrate soil. I used zinc and copper.
i have compost in food microwavable cups. im entering 1 month of dim blue LED running.
I will try this experiment with frequency and mature trees. Thanks for the inspiration. Cheers.
Good luck with it!
Fun to look back on these.
I live next to the ocean literally 10 feet. I would thionk the salt water in the soil would aid the voltage action. I don't have much for material but will try this when I can. Also the north south orientation.
Awesome experimenting Robert. Another neat and tidy equivalent is the miniature version of this--the ice cube tray. Have you tried increasing soil conductivity by adding water? It produced greater voltages for me in sandy top soil.
I haven't mate - I am trying to do it without incurring too much galvanic cost - so to speak - mostly because I know what folks would say if I did!
Since carbon works, I would recommend checking all the safe and stable non-metallic elements with metals. Just like you check the metals against carbon. We may even be able to compound the non metallic elements to create a super cathode or anode. Which ever the hell carbon is. I just ordered me some carbon rods.
Hi, again, Robert. As the "someone" mentioned at 1:47 in this, I am pleased to see that you thought I had asked a good question and that you both looked up further information and experimented further. :)
do you know mate - I read every comment and reply to what I can - but I always think about it - especially if they are good - cheers
The plastic insulation would appear to allow the current flow to become an individual flow , and be multiplied. Love it.
This information is, indeed, very interesting.
Again Thank You.
Brilliant video thank you 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I have an idea with regards to magnifying the output voltage. One could use a joule thief circuit
this whole earth battery reminds me of a video I cant seem to find. This guy explains how the pyramids were like a big energy generator. something to do with the granite, gold cap etc, and water in the channels in the structure etc.
Yes interesting, lets say the pink quartz in the kings chamber, is a big microphone if you shout it causes the quartz to distort and put out a charge, which is imprinted onto the natural currents which vary at different times of the day. Could another chamber similar at another location, but in the same current stream, convert the shout back to an audible one.?
Most pyramids seemed to have aquifers below them (as did Tesla's WardenClyff tower) which is a very good ground. It's possible that using a (long lost, perhaps gold) wire between two such pyramids would show quite a decent electric current which may be enhanced by the height of the pyramid if places correctly.
Height is important because the earth has an HV field that add 100V for every metre you go up. Current is low, but for instance connecting up a well positioned giant pyramid sitting onto an aquifer to sheets of metal resting in the Nile could well create an interesting flow of usable current.
This would also mean of course that if you laid gold film on the top of a giant pyramid like a cap and ran a wire down to a ground you may get some light (146m = 14.6kV) out of a partially evacuated crooks tube like we see pictured in the Dendera lights. This would then form a rolling plasma glow like a neon sign that looked a bit like a snake.
If you combined with with a civilisation old and advanced enough to casually cut, lift and transport 200 ton granite blocks from Aswan you might well find electricity was used in a pretty routine way. This would be of enormous help when delicately painting the inside of tombs that are pitch black and have no sign of soot in them...
If you then left it after a giant cataclysm however it's likely someone would steal all the gold, wires, machines. lamps etc over the next 12,000 years so there'd be little evidence of it today.
Might have been on the Ancient Architects' channel. Look for The Great Pyramid of Egypt Can Focus Electromagnetic Energy.
Graham
De Nile has moved a good bit
The electricity was always and is always around us in many forms... But it needs careful and knowledgeable eye to notice it... Some combination that we know today is capable of producing electricity doesn't necessarily mean that it was used to produce electricity in the past... Like Baghdad battery which the name is very misleading... And some people make fancy stories around it...
I believe the spacing of the electrode pairs from each other and spacing between rows of electrodes has an effect on voltage and current also the piping idea seems an effective addition.
Do not worry about voltage too much 0.8 is plenty, just maximise surface area and current and then use a Joule Thief type circuit to boost up the voltage, do not even bother making one, just get one from China.
Great idea with the pipes though, I am looking to upscale one of these quite a bit between one end of my property to the other using large plates.
My property stretches between North & South so ideal.
i have a compost battery and joule thief setup. separately, they work. But not when together. Would you be interested in helping me with my project?
That's simply fantastic
cheers mate
Use a bigger surface area for your electrodes and you'll get a bigger voltage. Using 1 cup of soil I can get a volt with alu and copper anode/cathode. Remember, you're not drawing any electricity from the earth, it's a chemical reaction that is occurring on the anode/cathode. The anode becomes oxidized and donates electrons. The cathode receives them. Any 2 metals will work provided there's a difference in resistance between them but copper and zinc are the best ofc. The soil is the electrolyte, this is why you should use a saline solution. It's a galvanic cell where the soil acts as the salt bridge. My idea is to do this without spending money on electrodes and instead salvage the metals to power microcontrollers in the wild. There's copper piping and scrap wire in most skips, and waste cans everywhere.
There seems to be 2 effects here, galvanic / electrolyte and the earth. The (excellent) video seems to major on the galvanic 'DIY battery in the ground' effect, but perhaps a simple experiment is also in order?:
The experiment would be to get some rebar steel rods and hammer about 5 into the ground (ideally in a field away from buildings to prevent ground leakage giving false readings) in a long line (ideally 30m or longer) from north to south. Then to get a multimeter with some long leads and see if there is a consistent voltage gradient one can measure along the line. If there is each rod should have a voltage proportional to it's distance from an end rod.
Perhaps someone has already done this?
thank you very much sir for that video. This connects some dots for me. No pun intended!
cheers mate - glad it helped
Very Interesting, thank you
cheers mate
I think you're onto something! I enjoy your videos Robert. You are a wise man, with a lot of knowledge and you use it to try and better mankind. You go into Great depths to explain it to us, so it makes since! thank you for sharing with us! :-)
thank you mate and thank you for taking the time to post
Back in the day a man named Stubblefield did amazing with earth batteries... TY for sharing... 🙂
Dry Earth Battery Cell.
The two elements to use are carbon and silicon. Place the polished side of the silicon wafer to the face of your graphite disk. This gave me 150 mV or 1.5 tenths of a volt. If we stack these pairs of discs, that should wire them in series to make more powerful cells. These cells could be the future of energy and EV cars.
Hello so love the channel first time commenting! So got bored decided to try this but used aluminum and copper. Got .7 volts with just one rod of each and .12 milli amps played around and found if I added more aluminum rods the amps would go up if they are connected pretty neat
Brass not copper sorry
Buy an old aluminum wheel at the junk yard and a few carbon rods, hook them up and throw them into the great salt lake and light up your patio.
Great stuff. Thanks a lot. Does he look like Anthony Hopkins?
Something to consider: Fertilizer is potassium nitrate. A salt. Some people may feel we should not be artificially fertilizing the soil which is fair enough, but un-composted spinach, celery, lettuce, any green leaf in winter months (stress causes them to sequester more KNO3) mulched and dug into the soil will do the job, as will horse or cow manure over time to a lesser extent.
So it follows that compost would make better earth battery material than normal topsoil.
Additionally, certain crops are planted by farmers to re-fix nitrates into the soil before using the same field for a cash crop. Usually that would be a legume of some kind. So it may well be possible to use old-school crop rotation of a sort in a bed designed especially to be a battery (and you get the peas too!)
I used to have a low power AM station and once I poured copper sulfate around the grounds (took many weeks to get done correctly) the stations reach almost doubled from 4 miles to almost 6 miles out.
Magnesium Joint Sachet
The magnesium filings were saved. I placed them in a piece of paper towel. I laid a bare stranded copper wire in the filings. Then rolled the group like a joint. I then bent the metal joint in half and sealed it shut with a second piece of copper. I completed the magnesium sachet by twisting both wires together. I then tested the magnesium sachet with carbon in a tap water bath. The amps came in at 1.3 milliamperes. Again, the shaving have points and powered metal has alot of surface area by mass. This was a very small amount. This is the technique of modern battery manufacturing. It works well.
That's pretty amazing Robert, almost one full volt just out of four little graphite rods.
i think it is pretty cool mate and well worth looknig at more for sure
Robert Try 'sealing (from ground : ) )the Bottom of the tubes !- should lessen loss when connecting in series.
I tried this and able to light two led lights connected in series with 13 cup size soil pot. I used coper and zinc rods. Voltage is around 5,5 but ampere is very low to even run a small DC motor. I would like to decorate a tree near my house with led bulbs running by this Earth battery at night, if I can't find a way to harness electrons from soil to charge a big battery. Thanks for sharing.
connecting in series worked fine in my plant pot
I've tried this using various materials with similar results. I'm now planning to use longer electrodes in wider and longer plastic tubes. I would be interested to know if telluric currents can be identified and measured easily? Are they, for example, affected by rivers, large buildings or underground pipes? I could then site the tubes in the best possible place.
Giza Pyramids.
I made one this week and got 7 volts out it. Thank you for the inspiration
that is awesome mate - cheers
@@ThinkingandTinkering no thank you. Aiming for 12v today connect to an 150w inverter. Most likely not enough amps but will run some in parallel to up the amps. Aim is to charge a phone
Ross 7v is pretty nice! a phone only wants 4 to 5v to charge it up.
a smaller value LED wants about 2.5 to 3v at 20ma to light up.
it'd be enough for a some fair lighting in a tent anyway, which just might be a nice KIT to sell... tubes that fit inside each other and the electrodes+wires+LED fitting inside of those, for backpacking etc.
Robert, that same idea would also be a nice demonstration,
"how many LED's and how much light can I make happen?"
How much current Ross?
@@modelnutty6503 nice idea. I am trying to turn on oscillator Joule Ringer, Pancake, Coil style, with Earth Battery.
Enough to power a quartz watch movement for sure ^^
Great stuff and a shout out to Mr Teslonian, he's great!
He's awesome.
he is he is a very very clever guy
And like you very practical and happy to teach. You should fly over and do an earth battery series. That would be amazing!
fly over where mate?
@@ThinkingandTinkering mrTs place, the USA
I do not know which metals will produce a super alloy or if it is even possible. But I want to know. How come we cannot turn to a telluric chapter in a Chemistry textbook. What elements make electrical currents. I have produced two dry reactions, no soil, clay or water.
1. Iron copper and zinc: I hooked copper and zinc to an old cast iron pot. Very small current.
2. Copper, zinc and graphite. I poured graphite powder into a paper cup and placed copper and zinc wires and nails. It worked. That is what spurred me to sprinkle it on the water experiment.
Hi robert, This is how i see Ed leedskalinn driving his magnet motor. The engine block is in the ground and the metal pipe also with wires attached to both...This would have run upto a buzzbox coil..(ford model T's used them) the voltage would have been elevated by the reed switch on the buzzbox coil vibrating...a charge was stored in the capacitor which he used to flick the coil to his PMH, this would drive the magnets on his wheel.. the rotating wheel could then be used to power other electromagnetic coils around his land to produce work. The trick was you didnt need much current to create magnetism only voltage is the real factor..His PMH used high voltage low current to achieve a induced magnet.. food for thought if you know of him and his systems...regards
Who was this guy? Sounds very interesting.
I just read his wiki page, interesting on magnetism, I want to know more very curious.
@@katiegreene3960 Ed Leedskalin was a clever guy. A lot of mystery surrounded him and too many folks it still does. If I can point you to learning about his pmh permanent magnet holder. Its an electromagnet that retains it magnetic strength even after removing its electric supply. For more direct replies fill your yt about info page in to enable messages. Regards
@@DavidMountainEsq I thought TH-cam removed it's direct messaging?
@@DavidMountainEsq have you found any books or videos about him or his work?
Your stuff always gets me thinking. How would the use of a drainage culvert (4-6in) with a copper grounding rod do?
I like the sound of it mate
40-50 Full Milliamperes w/ Magnesium and Carbon One Cell
Materials: one magnesium rod 12 inch length 5/16 inch diameter, carbon fiber cloth 12 x 6 feet, one sheet of paper, electrical tape and water bath. Wrap magnesium rod with paper to insulate it from carbon. Then roll rod with the full length of carbon fiber fabric. Tape to hold. Be sure to leave a bit of the magnesium rod exposed to attach your voltmeter. This gave a full 40+ milliamperes.
Nice work! Plus you need the sunshine, sunshine :-D
lol - funny to get out of the l ab mate - nice to see the sun for sure lol
@@ThinkingandTinkering H-ha I bet! I am from Denmark originally but now live in Australia. We get plenty of sun here but a bit dry for the earth battery! Look forward to your next video and always great to see your content! Very inspiring!!
cheers mate
Fantastic! NO NUKES
for sure
Interesting video. I wrong thought there maybe something going on with earthing currents.
In the UK the supply transformer on the pole is often earthed and an earth rod used to earth the house and some current then passes between the two. I though that maybe this was being picked up by these earth batteries.
By putting them in a desk top tray situation of course completely gets rid of this possibility and it also get rid of the idea of natural earth currents only really leaving galvanic or bacterial (or another unknown) cause. If it was some sort of natural earth current then wouldn't any two electrodes work? Plus the current would probably be in lines so you'd have to do a radial pattern and see if the direction makes any difference.. a mystery...
Imo it'd be of interest to make a portable pot filled version , and test the voltage in different locations.
Next to your WiFi router, under power lines, next to one of those huge electricity suppliers transformers.
You can see what I'm getting at, personally I wouldn't be surprised if the environment we live in at this time is so densely filled with electromagnetic radiation that it greatly contributes to this phenomenon.
in my tests the resistance becomes the issue from the lack of current.. we did about 10 cells and after 3/4 cells in series the voltage didn't increase so we tried to do them in parallel and then series and the resistance is even worse..but I had thought of trickle charging super caps (2.7v 500f) to see if you can run some small radios or lights.
Any new results
?
@@timwoytula5416 yes and no, while the caps can charge the resistance is still too high to provide charging for more than a few minutes.
I had toyed with the idea of something like a reed switch or relay to turn off and on to pulse charge then but it became kind of redundant
I think you need to do a voltage reading adding different lengths. Maybe the Cathode needs to be in further or the Anode needs to be in further and vice versa. I think if you could get this up to 6 volts then you would really have something. I may try some of this myself. I'm in Oklahoma in the US and we have heavy clay about 6 inches down so I'm curious how it would react as opposed to sandy soil.
Did you try it? I live in canada and have similar soil composition. what were your finding? How many Rods did you try and what was your readings?
Thanks for this video - your experiments have been supporting my own research but through an art-based lens. My question is, how do you collect and store such voltage?
Try gold and silver as the electrode! Perhaps that's why their value is so high in the monetary market!
Would it work in the winter with snow and and a frozen soil? Great video 🙂
Nano Particle Conductive Carbon is the product to move, which is what modern batteries utilize.
CO2 migrates through the soil and in fermenting brews this constitutes the migration of carbonic acid ions harness it and you have a battery. I have often wondered what was available under say a narrowboat from the rotting vegetation underneath.
I get about 1.02v per cell with copper pipe from a pc heat-sink and a new shiny tent peg. but the current is 5uA that's the part you need to some how boost. also I cut the bottom out of a coke can and pushed it into the dirt put a small copper pipe in the center and got about 0.768v, also I found placing a metal plate on the ground and touching it with the positive probe and the other in the dirt gave about 0.6v
Try using copper pipe on the inside of the PVC insulation piping as connecting rods and grafite a lot of grafite
It could be fun to try charging a small capacitor with this arrangement.
Impressive!
cheers mate
Theoretical thought: Alloys. Do alloys allow for the voltages or amperages of the elemental metals to add up in an earth battery. If we were to create a super alloy made of equal parts of aluminum and magnesium, would the battery generate 3 volts when paired with carbon?
:) You should keep every jot and tittle of notes you write down.....2-3 generations down the road they'll be worth a fortune to collectors and historians looking for artifacts and effects from R.M.S. the "da Vinci" who continued to work full steam, amid the Covid-19 Apocalypse!!
Thanks Rob! :)
lol - just keeping busy while social distancing
How would the Calcium chloride (CaCl2) work with these? And how it works with your ink in closed exothermic dissolution, or in anhydrous form? I think it could help just by pulling the moisture from air to use?
You can improve the earth battery simply by adding an oscillation into the mix. Any simple joule theif circuit might work too.
nice mate - cheers
@@ThinkingandTinkering no worries. Voltage seems to be more determined by the rate of changing magnetic fields in the earth and the earth is solid thus oscillations are slower. so you will never get high voltages with doing that unless you flipped it and extracted from the atmosphere(no media fast oscillation) instead with an earth connection and metal plate or rod in the air. Good luck.
Well a joule thief is essentially a step up converter so the battery won’t really be improved but the voltage you get will be increased so that its usable for powering a led
@@bjl1000 really?
99% Perspiration Nah that‘s not quite correct either. The resulting voltage depends on the coil winding ratio and the voltage to begin with.
The current on the joule thief really doesn’t affect the resulting voltage except the current is so low that the voltage breaks down under the load. But your point is right, you cannot produce energy outa nowhere because first law of thermodynamics.
Is there a math formula that indicates voltage & amps based on surface area?
I did this exact experiment 10 years ago. I found they "type of soil "sandy--->to--->(Living) floura or potting type" makes a big difference as does moisture which is the MOST difficult variable to regulate (the circuit "robs" itself based on condition the bigger you go and tough to balance. I would recommend you also use your 1 K resister model and show the "Current" - you'll be quite surprised at what you find. Last instead of or without the insulator pipes use Diodes between electrodes in series. Also Series parallel matrix for increased Voltage and Current - thanks, a fan.
is it possible to get 0.5 watts per hour from an earth battery in the ground or out of the ground? how long would it last and can it be relatively compact. i dont know very much about electricity and circuits and earth batteries but if it meets my needs and isnt too much trouble to learn and do then i would like to know.
hi abbie. what does the resistor and diodes do to earth batteries? cheers!
Please Brother… figure this out. I would LOVE to set up a system to power my farm.
Bless ya🙏🤞
Thanks mate
to you too - cheers
Dig a 1 foot square hole........ Pour a 1 kg packet of salt into the hole........ Stick a one metre flattened copper pipe into the hole and refill..., Insert second flattened copper pipe exactly one foot away from the first...... Then water and.... You should get 80 or even 90 volts DC.
you done a video on this mate?
@@ThinkingandTinkering Why would I video it...... it works..... but I can make one if you want?
Couple questions.. maybe possible ideas from my experience the deeper you can get your materials of choice the better... also try a touch more space between and you should archive your maximum you were looking for... but my question is what would happen if you were to apply a sort of transformer either between your connections or a larger one at the end... wouldn't that step up your voltage... I'm not exactly sure how that works but I do know that's how you turn 110v into thousands... one thing I do know is that the voltage may be small but from what I've herd it has an impressive amperage for the voltage that you can see...I have really enjoyed watching your videos but I've always pretty much Larned fully off the subject you demonstrate.. this one I have been pondering on for years since I was a kid and did the copper nail and zink nail in fruits and vegetables ( which is where my mind returns to when I think of the earth battery .... just with a extreamly giant version))) please let me know if any of what I said helps and if I'm going on the wrong direction thinking about either transformers or capacitors in the mix... there of free energy out there we all just need to put our minds together to achieve the ultimate goal
Telluric Matrix Soup Theory
I have a theory that the telluric matrix, the material the dissimilar metals are placed is a great place to experiment. Everyone else is changing out metals, but them matrix, soil water etc. can be improved. I saw a glimpse of that when I sprinkled graphite on top of the water and the battery improved. I think some of the non-metallic and potentially some of the metallic elements can be added to the matrix to create and electron soup if you will. Just a theory, but I think I am on to something.
You added a capacitor to the circuit. Between the ground and the rest of the circuit but I already told you how they increased the voltage, the anode had a smaller surface area than the cathode and the ratio between the two caused an increase in the voltage.
Muito bom, meu amigo!!
Gracias!

ok i also suggest thin cat 5 cable from the bottom of the lead running to the top of next cells carbon and the lead to be only 20mm long and at the very bottom of tube running crossways maximising distance between both collectors . Both collectors crossway! Increases potential and reduces leakage !
thank you mate - i'll give that a go - cheers
Obtaining 4-5 Full Milliamperes with Magnesium, Carbon and water. Two rods place in tap water. Before the immersion of the magnesium rod, take a hack saw blade or file and texture the length of the rod with deep triangular ridges. Electrons love pointed edges to gather and launch from on metals. The surface area is also increased which also is a natural boost to amperage. Magnesium and carbon do not react with H2O. This is known chemistry. Please explain how a battery cell of plain water and these two elements works.
I screwed up about the texture. It is area of the tall jar of water and the 12-inch rod of magnesium. I never expected to see 5 milliamperes and jumped to a wrong conclusion. I performed a bad science experiment by making changes before duplicating the experiment of someone else. I shaved the magnesium first, with hopes of making a new modern type of cell. I then used that textured rod which produced much higher amperage. 5/16" diameter rod. However, on the second attempt with a smooth rod the 4 milliamperes was still true. I then learned proximity of rods makes higher amperage. The large vessel and rods made that possible to determine. That is a 100% and I tested that several times. The amps would drop into the 2 range and as I brought them closer would climb up into the 6-7 but settle back down in the 4-ma range.
My immediate thoughts are to treat one electrode as an inductor and one electrode coupled with the dielectric capacitance of the ceramic/plastic shell as an LC resonant pulsed DC circuit that you could then connect in series if spaced properly according to the ley of the land so to say. I don't encourage harvesting telluric currents however, as I believe if enough joules are drawn out it could have catastrophic unforeseen consequences...
I was wondering about that too
Nice. Thanks for sharing. I had Galvanized bolts and SST laying around, after watching yur other vid, I Tried this . I get .250 milli Volts (about) from 1 set-up and 3 in series I get 1volt+. But I can Not seem to get a Joule Ringer to Ignite? Seems the Amp's are really small. Ringer needs about 30 milliAmp to ring and I can't get that? Trying Parallel alignment next. Thanks again, for the idea sharing...
Must give this a go for chits and grins. Living here in the South West of U.S.A. most of our soil is nothing more then silica sand stuff. Tends to be slightly Alkaline not Acidic. I won't be expecting such good results.
let me know how you get on mate
cool video.. what sort of mirco ampage was you getting from it? if enough maybe a joule theft could work?
I built an earth cell with carbon water and aluminum in a pint glass. One cap full of bleach pushed the bolts to 1.1 V and the amps to 5mA.
i'm guessing it will also have something to do with the pH of the soil. Different electrodes for different type of soil.
i think you are probably right there mate
Robert Murray-Smith I’m gonna try this in heavy clay soil
@@ThinkingandTinkering it has to do with the separation (electrolysis) of the water molecule, separation of the oxygen and hydrogen. Hydrogen is positive and oxygen is negative.
I wondered about this, myself, in his previous vid on the subject.
pH + pOH = 14, pOH = - log [OH-] and pH = - log [H +]. If you know pH you can find out pOH-
this is great, have you considered the compaction of the earth in the tube or even outside the tube?
yes
When you were hooking up the meter it jumped higher. Tesla used a spark gap.
cheers mate
@@ThinkingandTinkering to increased voltage best with AC.. voltage multiplier, cant get transistor working with such low voltage, maybe some tinfoil pieces flapping about in the wind making intermitant connection? some diodes and caps...bingo! once voltage up a bit maybe a cmos nand gate could oscillate at v low voltage? 5v regulated usb out
What would happen if you had used longer pipe and longer electrodes. Could it have increased the voltage because there would be more surface area of the electrodes to react with the soil.
i know this is necromancy on this point, but you could explore the whole thing with Tesla removing the ground batteries from the Telegraph system across USA because they were frequently overloading .... now some of it was the basis of his ideas on wireless energy, the rest of it was quite possibly solar storm interraction that even now people are fighting against being real science ...
I have a theory through watching your video so far try putting a piece of cardboard in between them to prevent them from shorting the other one out beside it
Polymer Clay Experiment
This man made clay will produce a very small current. It will not dry out when exposed. It smells of vinyl, and is basically an insulation material. I have no idea how it works. Luckily, I bought a 4 color pack. The additives used to produce the clay changes the voltages. This is part of my alloy theory.
Is there a length of time when the voltage would reduce
Also on one of your other videos you used the carbon and magnesium combination and said you were achieving 2 volts not sure if that was misheard by myself but it seems that would be the desired result... not sure but I will be tinkering with this for the next few weeks and I will let you know what I discover
