Earth Electrical Energy Datalogging Experiments

Thanks Bill.

Now for an early visual treat.
It started to spritz (Oh heavenly!) while I was doing today's tests. You can see it on the screen. I stopped but managed to finish this plain probes part.
There were very tall spikes today.
I saw these 2 or 3 days ago. I stopped them to see. 18mv in a background of 6.5mv without them.

@ Jeana:

Nice spikes there.  Very clear shots of your scope again too.  I wonder what might be causing those spikes one day and not another?  I think this is a very complicated puzzle we are attempting to solve here.

Nice work.

... I wonder what might be causing those spikes one day and not another?  I think this is a very complicated puzzle we are attempting to solve here.

I wonder too.
I have been looking for them too.
We have a new puppy next door. She has been barking a bark that sounds like she is in pain.
I noticed it when I was doing tests the other day and I was not sure they were not the puppy, but the timing was wrong. I saw the spike then heard the bark... I thought.
Today she was inside and the spikes are definitely not the puppy.

They are sharp and skinny. The scope shows them but I cannot get them on the hold button. I need some good luck. I would love to see them and count the frequency. But I think it is random frequency.

i found a used scope, surplus from a university that recently upgraded its' equipment.

should be here in next week sometime and i'll be able to assist more in the data collection process.

i have temporarily removed my JT circuit from the earth battery, to test my NS coil.
which seems to be powering it nicely (at least when the NS is freshly soaked with water)

my EB has over 100 probes now on the negative side, but the current seems to have capped out between 8-12 ma.
fluxuates from day to day...   
BUT,  the NS coil produces the same power with far less components - so thats where my JT sits for now.

I have acted on neighbors who hold animals trapped for long periods of time...
I have even wrote letters to people who bought trees and then didn't plant them. just let them sit out and dry....  Some people can not feel what they are doing.


About the potentiometer,  I could imagine these telegraph machines being left there for a very long time, becoming very entrained, and possibly having high voltage.  You would want some protection I am sure. 

About the flowerpot experiment - I grew lettuce indoors, 15 pots and each one got 2 zinc screws and a peice of copper flashing, making it a battery. Volts were about 2, it lit a LED constantly. The led would flicker though...  I scoped it, and it was flatline DC. It might wave up or down as the wetness changed, but it was fun to see my status light bright up after I water the plants.   I can already feel plants thank me when I water them, and the light was just more satisfaction.  Maybe have some sort of opto-switch to sense the LED and apply more water as needed...  contraptions...

About earth energy - What do you think is a conductor? an insulator?  Could I make a zinc/copper 1 cell flowerpot battery, monitor it, then stick the whole thing in the ground, how long do you think it would take for the earth energy to flow in?   Plants use earth energy obviously, look at the difference between "wild" and "indoor" strains of any plant.  Might not want to use a plastic flowerpot.. Maybe one carved out of rock? A steel one might act itself as a probe... Ceramic, who knows?

I will try this.

Anyway, seems like Jeanna is doing this right ;-) Love the scope shots.  The spikes might be lightning strikes somewhere? a storm closeby? Or someone doing high voltage research?  If the planet was reacting to the dog's pain that would break my heart... but I don't think that's the case. High energetic gamma rays smashing into something closeby?  Nukes going off around the world?  You almost never get told about any of the ones set off underground / undersea, and those matter the most.  I was in the navy for a while and subs do deathmatch with large ordinance all the time at the north / south pole...

That is why I think this current application is more of a ground sensor then a source of raw power. A different window to look through. See all sorts of stuff if you're careful.  I noticed one time (back in the day ) that my EB volts dropped by more then half... Took a walk and my poor forest was being torn down for buildings. So I know plant energy plays a part. Electroculture: The Electric Tickle says you can collect plant energy with a probe 1 foot north of a tree.

I love this forum.

Take it easy.
