Earth Electrical Energy Datalogging Experiments

[electricme]

So how high did it go?
well lets take a peek shall we.

Before we doo, just think about this a moment, it has been thought by many people who have tried to make a series earth battery (EER), and have failed, you have seen it is possible to make one, so go on, get the stuff and do it.

Go to the Joule Thief forum and see what we all have done there, and use this Series EER earth energy recovery setup to power up 400 LEDS.

Or use the JT to make 600volts or well, try for 1000 volts, I have seen it done.
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.

Here is the last video.
I will bid you all hooroo

HOOROOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME WORK
Thank you so much for sharing all of that with us. You ROCK!

Again thank you so much for sharing your Hard work.

Checked the EB this morning around 8:40, the readings were 799mv 128ua. There is a slight drizzle of rain, I was expecting to see the current drop back to normal levels 40u-60u range but its still high. The voltage has really dropped.

@Jeanna, I see now it's the carrier wave I should be looking at, thanks. Have to take the scope out when it gets drier. I'm not sure where the .983 volts went, it seems to dissipate quickly. I keep thinking of how geothermal heating works where the cold pipes attract the thermal heat from the surrounding warm earth and try to balance. Could be a similar effect going on.

@Nightshade, Neat to see that different setups still seem to produce about the same voltage and readings.

@Electricme, Ok now I have to grab another coffee. Wow! great work. Looks like what I'm missing is getting freaky with the EB and wrapping it in Saran wrap, then adding some water. Thank you for the step by step guide, it is very helpful.

Jim:

Excellent work my friend!!!!!  Also, and equally important, very excellent presentation and tutorial on how to do this!!!

As I mentioned to you before, I want to try this using carbon and magnesium...IF I can find suitable shapes and supplies.

As you can see from this chart:

Metals and Soils
Potential Differences of metals
(Soil Galvanic series) 
Metal
... Potential
V Cu/CuSO4 electrode
Magnesium (pure) -1.75
Magnesium (alloy) -1.60
Zinc -1.10
Alluminum (alloy) -1.05
Aluminum (pure) -0.8
Steel (clean) -0.50 to -0.80
Steel (rusted) -0.20 to -0.50
Cast Iron -0.50
Lead -0.50
Steel (concrete) -0.20
Copper -0.20
Brass -0.20
Bronze -0.20
Steel (mill scale) -0.20
Cast iron (high silicon) -0.20
Carbon +0.30
Graphite +0.30
Coke +0.30
Notes:
Non-uniform conditions at node surface 

As you see, this would mean over 2 volts per cell x 7 cells = 14 volts!!!  If your copper is positive in your set-up, this would mean my tubes should be carbon and then I need mag. rods for the center taps.

From the chart posted above, we can also use other metals that are as far away from each other on the scale above even if I can't find the carbon and mag.


Very nice job, I think this is just the beginning Jim and man, you could fill your yard with these and run your heater.

Great work!

Hi everybody,
I have taken advantage of a sublimely cool morning to play outside with my earth battery, and my stubblefield generator which I added to it.
And I managed to take a movie shot in AVI format that is 300k. So, I will post that now.

I checked the connections of the NS generator with the EB a couple of ways.
I admit to a silly third one too.
1 the silly one, I saw the copper of the "5" wire and I connected it up with the 15' wire to the south zinc side of the EB and wondered why nothing at all happened. I am glad I did this. I am glad to know there was nothing there .
But then I poured some water on the NS#9. I suppose it is good enough to show since all the readings since then have been with wet ground around NS#9.

The frequency is higher with NS#9 attached.
1- Just the steel "6" wire and the 2 antennas.
BUT THEN...
2- I twisted the 5,6 together for a center tap, and connected that to the
15' wire that connects to the
zinc probe which in turn is
15' from the meter.
On the other end there are carbon rods 15' to the north.

so maybe like this Starting from the South:

NS#9 twisted centertap_____zinc probe_____Meter_____C

Here is a movie of the whole wave of the NS#9 connected to the twisted 5,6 as described in 2 above.

I have also added a drawing so you can figure out what the heck I am talking about!
