Above is a link to a video I just posted to youtube on today's experiments.  I noticed I made a mistake when speaking of the amps, I said millivolts when I meant to say milliamps. (mA)  My led is still buring at this time.  This is so cool to be able to extract some energy from the earth like this.  Our experimentation continues.

Led is still illuminated.

@akashh:

Thanks.  No, I have not tried any horizontal testing as of yet. I have to admit, it would be easier to dig a trench than try to force a fragile rod into the earth.  I think anything is possible here and deserves testing. I think now there will be a growing interest in the Stubblefield type coils experiments.  Maybe I can take an antenna coil and core from an old a.m. radio and play with that.  This is fun.

Pirate Bill,

This is way to cool!!

Tomorrow I am going to do some experimenting. (all I have is just a copper and aluminum tubes).    I hope you are not going to discharge the earth completely by tomorrow morning!

After having read Stubblefield's earth battery patent carefully it seems to me to be nothing other than a water battery that uses damp soil as an electrolyte.  However, what seems interesting is the use of the secondary coil.  He says that sufficient energy may be produced by means of this coil.  I am guessing that magnetically it works similar to any transformer.  So if we would have 100  turns of primary (iron-copper couple) and say 1000 turns on the secondary, voltage would be 10 X. 
Bedini says he thinks the secondary is a trigger coil, but that's not in the patent.  I would imagine on the contrary that the primary coil could be triggered via some sort of pulse to create a large magnetic field.  Who knows how this would resonate once inside the earth, but if one were constantly extracting energy the earth may interact with the coil beyond pure galvanics after the application of the initial pulse.
Does this sound absurd?  I am unable to build this at the moment but in a few weeks I'll be able to do so...
