Merry Christmas all

I am attmpting to re-write this post I have tried many times to get up but keep getting kicked out of the site for some reason.

I wanted to post something special here on Christmas so I took my carbon rod (17" long) and dug it up and cut it in half (2 pieces 8.5" long)  I did this because I could not sink the rod any deeper without risking damage and still had about 6" or rod sticking out.  Now, I have both rods sunk all but 1/2" to tie on to.  I only have one mag. block, looking for another but for today, I used 2 12" long zinc coated spikes.  I created two cells side by side (about three feet apart) alligned on the n/s meridian as before.  The zinc and the carbon are about 5 feet apart on this line.  I tied the two carbons together with a jumper off of each to the plus probe on the meter.  I did the same with the zinc to the neg. probe on the meter.  1.10 vdc!!!!!!  That's all.  But, on each cell alone I get 1.45 vdc and 2.4 mA (Not .24)  So, I am sitting there still not knowing how or why this type of series setup is not working when I get an idea.  The idea was suggested here a few times by several and I also believe Stubblefield mentioned it a time or two.  I took an old 9v battey I had lying around and wired it to my new cell. (the one on the right)  I let it charge for about 45 seconds and then waited.  I took a reading. (the one in the picture in the above post)  Now, don't get too excited just yet.  there is good news here and a little bad.  The level began to fall off (bad news) but appeared to stabilize around 1.83 vdc.  So, now I am thinking about hooking up my car battery charger to the house current and pumping in some 12 vdc and some heavry amps.  Maybe the cell will go up to 9 vdc and then drop down to 3 or 4 and STAY there?  Maybe I will short out my neighborhood?  Oh, the mA actually went down a bit after the 9v battery boost to 2.1 mA.  I have a picture I took of the carbon rod after I cleaned it.  It showed NO sign of deterioration of any kind after being hooked up in the cell for a few months.  This is good I believe.  I will post that pic. in a seperate post as I really don't want to write all of this again for the 3rd time!!!

@ Hans:
Great post man, I will go back and read it carefully, I just wanted to get this news up as fast as possible and have been having a heck of a time with the site for some reason.  Anyone else having trouble?

Carbon rod showing no visible deteriation after two months in the cell.  This is right before I cut it in half.  I tried posting this several times so hopefully it will show up.

Thanks for the offer Joe, I think it is working now...or...we'll see.

Merry Christmas all!!!  Today, I will drink a toast to all of my fellow experimenters here on overunity.

@ bill when was the meter reading from ?
