Earth Electrical Energy Datalogging Experiments

[Cosmicfarmer]

I ordered gadgetmall's earth battery rods on express delivery so when they get here I'll jam them in the ground. 

It seems puerto rico and indonesia are about to fall off the face of the earth! so many earthquakes...

Is it just me or are these quakes happening more often? Personally I would think a large earthquake would diminish EB waveform as the entrained pathways are disrupted.

Also, what is a good thing to leave on an EB to entrain it? a resistor? capacitor? dead short?  Thanks.

Also.  Not to be a complete conspirasy nut, but I found this article relating to soil conductivity and aerosol density... its from carnicom, so take it as you wish.

Hey folks,

I have added to my in ground EB ...
I added another setup 2 ft away from the copper/alum one ..

This one I took a 8" aluminum rod and done kinda like a stubblefield style deal I put cotton and a paper roll around the alum then wrap 10' of Stainless steel 1/6" thick cable around it ..
I had to wet it initially then I buried it ...
With that one and the first one wired in parallel I am getting .51 vdc at 2.01ma ..
This is the first day on it , I am hoping it will hold at 2 ma ..
Gonna keep check on it everyday , may even add some more ..

I also have plans to get a scope when I can afford one ..
I really want to see more of what is going on with this stuff .

I have noticed that voltage usually drops when it rains  and I still get better readings in the day than I do at night ..
And some days are better than others no matter how dry or wet the dirt is..

Can anyone tell me how far apart these things have to be to run them in a series without isolating them?

Thanks Jdcmusicman

JD:

To my knowledge, unless the electrodes are insulated like Jim has been doing, and you as well, electrodes miles apart can still not be put into series to up the volts.  I, of course, have not tried the miles apart approach but I have read this in several places of experiments going way back to the telegraph days.

Thanks Bill,

I was curious about , I hadn't attempted it yet ..
One thing that i did notice is with the 2 cells that I have , is when I intially put the second one in the ground I put about 1ft from the other and It would make the ma readings go way way down to almost zero..So I moved it over another ft and it works fine that way ..
I assume even having them in parallel if they are to close they kinda cancel things out , it had no effect on the voltage just the ma's ...

I have been reading a little on the telegraph stuff, with so little I have read so far , it is just amazing at some of the things they were doing back then...

Thanks  Jdcmusicman

Hi everybody,
I managed some decent pics today.
The thing I found interesting today is the voltage is down.
If other people would ante up, we could all know if the earth is experiencing a general drop today or if it is just my backyard. I usually must change the resolution of the EER with stubblefield at either end, but today the 5mv resolution was fine for both
Fires what the DMM says then  the scope at 2 different resolutions of the wave.

The captions tell the tale.
When it says 'both' it means the EER with 2 stubblefield coils on the ends.
