Excess power from plants

Pauli'But there was a 0.8v pd between two identical nails hammered into the tree three foot apart. Exactly the same voltage difference.'

Interesting.3 foot is a long distance apart though and could be attributed to the aged difference in chemicals down below vs ontop.possibly a ph or enzymatic sugar breakdown differential but I won't rule out vandergraaf statics ontop of that. would love to know what kind of currents you're getting?

Bill:

If the earth rod is good, the results are as before. But if the earthing is poor, i.e. probe stuck into ground, then the voltage reverses and is a bit less in value. Most odd.

prof:
Using an Avometer (continuing thanks to Brian from the UK Free Energy conference in '08), there was indicated 0.02amp from a good earth to the tree, the tree being positive.

I'll do a bit more this weekend and check with the dmm to see if it is the same. (Bill said to use a dmm).

Ahh yes thanks pauli.I expected roundabout that currents for same-metal electrodes.I wonder what electrode material these kaias were using though to kick it up? I know for a fact that aluminum/steel couples will kick ass..

Thanks Paul.  You, of course, do not have to use a DMM, I just found it easier to see the minus of the tree without bending the needle on one of my analog meters from having it try to go backwards.  If my tree were still here, I could check the tree vs my carbon rod as a ground and also my magnesium block as a ground to see what happens....but...no tree. (sigh)

A long time ago, back in the Stubblefield topic, someone posted a youtube video of a company making cell phone chargers that worked by
tapping into any tree.  None of us could see where they would have been getting the power to do this and, I have not heard anything about them since.

I know DMMs shouldn't be used with cold electricity. I'll try both. It is the voltage reversal that intrigues me. I wonder if there are two effects, and at some point, one increases in strength and dominates the other. It would seem connected with the resistance in the earth connection.
