Retracted post.  I misread the numbers.  Sorry.

@ sid10:

I beleive you are correct on your readings.  The last reading looks to me like .5 mA. (1/2 milliamp)  I think the only difference between your first two is you were on a different scale so, it added and extra place to the number. (better accuracy)  I have been measuring my volts on the 20 v setting. Yes, that's almost a volt. (both readings) Good job.  Why not post some pictures of your cell?  If I am not correct about any of this, anyone feel free to tell me.

Well my attempt at my first real dirt cell.    I might make some more to pair in series or parallel, but I will find easier ways to construct it.

you said you had the positive plate aligned north south and the neg east west right? hmm, that sounds like it was aligned to receive best magnetic current from earth on positive and best discharge to positive with the neg. plate.  thats interesting.  all this makes me eager to attempt my tesla reciever. i think i will use the magnetics of the earth as a factor in creation of it.

now that the theory of the earth as a faraday disk has been mentioned i think we can all agree thats whats happening here! so what method would best tap this energy is the question?

@Artic Knight - if the earth were acting as a faraday disk wouldnt burying one of the poles of the earth battery deeper into the ground create more current?  One pole as close to the center of earth as you could get it and one pole close to the surface?
