Earth Energy Batteries

[hartiberlin]

Just isolate them in plastic boxes filled with wet sand and then put them in series...

Which is the lifespan of this system?

This is a chemical reaction between copper and the zinc which gives electricity?

Earth Energy batteries remind me of something that I read recently in the jnl labs group about getting electricity out of trees.

I tried it and got 1.03 v steady. Never got to meassure the current though. No time.

I was wondering if anyone in this forum has heard of this or may be tried this.

The experiment is simple, one nail on the tree and a 1/4" cooper pipe about 12cm into the ground.

Would be nice to hear any comments ...

Into the tree a nail of steel and a cooper pipe into the ground gives a galvanic element. I do not believe that this is good for the tree.

These people seem to be on the earth to tree path as well. http://www.magcap.com
