Earth Electrical Energy Datalogging Experiments

Here is an idea to try and raise voltage and amps.

Place a parallel resonant circuit that is tunable before the ground rod.  This can probably be made out of an old radio?  Slowly tune across the spectrum and monitor the voltage.   This will raise voltage in the tank circuit when it is in tune to frequencies coming out of the ground.  You could use a scope or freq counter to see what these freq peaks are.  This will raise voltage.

Then connect the same components as a series resonant circuit before the ground rod.  As you tune across the spectrum, at the same freqs you should see a rise in amps.  This should rise the amps.

Thank you Tishatang,

I do not have a clue HOW to do what you are suggesting but it is exactly in line with my thinking lately.
Could you explain in more detail how I would hook up this radio?
The radio has a wall plug, but somehow I do not think you mean to connect my  probe wires to the plug ends... or maybe you do mean that?

Hello, I have experimented with a multi-meter outside near power poles and connected to a small antenna wire with small rod in the ground to the DMM = small AC-voltage, when I moved to a location way away from power lines = no AC voltage, Which means I am recieving AC and small current from the power lines that go through our yard ! frequency=131.5 HZ

Also I just measured my EB on scope, It also measures exactly 131.5 HZ and also sikes on scope,
both are the same frequency, does that mean my EB is also picking up AC waves from power lines ?

I Want to achieve a decent current from an EB, say about 20-50 mA from one cell, doubt it will be possible though, all these EB's that most of us are experimenting with are just to small a current to do anything with...  so why are we doing it
I'm a little discouraged

@ Freepow:

Well, we decided a while ago to call these earth energy receivers and, this might apply to your situation.  If you have grid power leaking into the ground, your EER will/should pick it up.  I don't really know more than that but it makes sense to me.  The same freq. for both seems an unlikely coincidence.  But still, if it is leaking grid power, it is still free as in no one else is using it right?

Others can comment on this but these devices will receive a bunch of stuff so, anything is possible.

Thanks Bill,  Is it a worth while persuit to harness power from power lines or is it better to stick with EB's?
