Earth Electrical Energy Datalogging Experiments

Huzzah! rods in a ground I can monitor.  Japan wasn't going to happen, unless I bought a farm for 200 a year, which would be swank and I might do that april... but now I am home in DC ish area.

I got a Carbon and Magnesium.  I forgot which way to position them so I should ask here... 

But right now the carbon is northernerly at exactly Latitude = 38.8922, Longitude = -77.1554
and the magnesium is southernerly at Latitude = 38.8920, Longitude = -77.1554, so 1 tenthousandths of a degreee off. 
Should I switch their position?
I am letting them entrain over a 1 ohm resistor.
I like circuits that plug into the ground.

I will construct tomorow a camera flash jeul theif. Fuji? I have his cd right here. Then the output will go to Dr Stiffler SEC... and from there a gigantic panel of LED's and I will wake up the neighbors at night...  Oh boy.

I would like a less then 20 volt backspike though, I think the 500 or so volts that fuji gives would fry the Doc's tiny circuit.  I wonder to make a solid state and a frequency counter attached together to make a power supply?  Ah im just dreaming !!   

So I got some gigantic supercaps, 3 of em. only a few volts though. Also some of those ultra low volt transistors.  And a lot else.

If anyone has any suggestions in arranging those to obtain the most light, please tell me, while I offer up scope shots of the resistor in my backyard.

Ok so heres the questions all arranged in order.
hello,
1. which one should go north and south? carbon / magnesium
2. any idea on how to charge a cap most efficient from the ground?
3. how to bump 3 volts 650f to ~18 - 20v
4. Anyone know of any Ley Lines around?

thats it, 

Hi to Jeanna  thx for sticking in there

peace.

 :)Hello can someone help me ??

My 90 foot long, 6-7 foot high long wire antenna + my ground pipe connection gives me as follows...
5 volts (AC) and only .06 ma  NIGHTIME measurement
6 volts (AC) and only .13 ma  DAYTIME  measurement

When i use this to power simple joule thief it measures as follows...
3.1 volts (AC) and 2.6 volts (DC) and 3.14 ma NIGHTIME measurement
3.6 volts (AC) and 2.9 volts (DC) and 3.45 ma DAYTIME  measurement !

Why a higher voltage and current during daytime ? Anybody know why ?

Any way to raise current higher so i can light LED ?

This is free power that I am getting from this system !  Anyone tried this ?

@all,

I was thinking, what else can I use with the output of my EBC.

I decided to fool around with making a capacitor, nothing flash mind you, just a very simple arrangement, which I made out of ordinary easy to come by household items.

I grabbed 2 empty clear plastic A4 sleeves, grabbed my alfoil, the stuff we all have to wrap food up and stick in the fridge or stove.
I insurted one clear plastic envelope inside the other one, both openings facing outwards.

I tore off 2 sizeable alfoil sheets, stuck one alfoil sheet into one side of the clear plastic envelope, the other one I insurted inside the other envelope.

Next I connected my EBC leads to either sheet, it dosent matter which round it goes, but just keep an eye out for polarity.

I disconnected the EBC leads, immediately hooking up my white LED.
It flashed on for an instant and went out.
It was not bright, but very very dim.
If you are not fast, the charge flotes away.

BUT IT WORKED lol.

Jim:

Great to hear from you.  Nice work on the capacitor.  The cartoon is great as well.  I have been tied up with work lately but hope to back on here soon.

Take care,

Bill

Hi cosmicfarmer,

I'm glad you are able to play some more... til it freezes, I guess.

Ok so heres the questions all arranged in order.

Carbon North as you have made it.
I'm sorry, this is the only one I can answer.

Hi freepow,
First, I want to say thanks for bringing your eb questions over here.

I cannot help with the amps because I have never been able to light a led directly from my eb.
The highest amps I ever got were 162 and I am never sure with this meter... it might be microamps and 0.9 volts, but not ever at the same time.
If I do something to raise the amps the voltage drops.
Assuming you have 6 volts from your antenna, you should have room to spare for lowering it to make amps.
The only way I was ever able to do it was by adding additional lines that come together at the single probe.

There is a guy who visited these parts for a very short time calling himself t3t4.
He also wanted to harvest the rays with an antenna.
To this end he hooked up a battery in the middle place between the antenna and the ground probe.
There were caps that caught the rays and then dumped them into the battery.
I had a AAA 2 pack and was able to get the 2 batteries up to 1.17v and when I brought them inside each one was indeed able to run a joule thief, so it was free from the kind of connection you are talking about.
You seem to have a lot more rays where you live, so your batteries could get higher voltages.
I'd say try it this way... I will see if I can find a link to the page he was using.
(But, keep posting your results here please. so the threads do not continue to be so scrambled.)

Great progress, bye the way.
