plants, pyramids, and collecting electricity (new breakthrough).

Thanks for all your comments everyone.

See, this is how the lemon battery works, but it is a GALVANIC reaction due to using the copper penny and the zinc coated nail. The lemon juice is just the electrolyte. So this is not what I am looking for because the zinc will be used up and corroded away.

So what is being suggested here is that the voltage difference will be from the branch of the tree to the ground surrounding the tree.

When I get home tonight after work I will see if I can set up an experiment that way then. I don't know if a cloth covered wire will be any different than a normally insulated wire.

I keep reading the threads on the earth battery experiments and they seem even more interesting, but it may fall in the same overall cause and effect.

I should probably switch this to a different thread though.

Well, you can't power a house with it, but for low-power sensor use etc, looks like 'tree-power' is now 'mainstream'.

This goes along with lightrider's earlier post:

"BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Voltree Power announced the successful trial demonstration of its innovative climate sensor network, one that can be powered by energy harvested from living trees. The three-day test and system installation not only proved Voltree’s technology but also demonstrated the successful integration with already existing “Remote Automated Weather Stations” network, transmitting air temperature, humidity, and diagnostic data utilizing the preexisting satellite infrastructure.

Using low-power radio transceivers, sensors, and its patented bioenergy-harvesting technology..."

.................the tree was just an example of the physics involved.

i have a much better idea of how a metal pyramid works, than a plant.
because the metal pyramid is doing it simpler. where the plants chemistry is doing who knows what.

the metal pyramid is causing electrons to move from the 4 base corners, into the pyramids center.
that is the main thing that makes the pyramid work.


people say that just placing a battery inside a copper pipe pyramid, can cause the battery to recharge from 0% to 66% of maximum capacity.

the diamagnetic materials (positive) and paramagnetic materials (negative) in the battery,
are just mass to store the electrons.

and to attract the electrons towards one terminal, and to push the electrons away from the other terminal, when the battery is being used.

the air moisture between the battery terminals, allows the electrons to move from one terminal to the other.
so that one half of the battery can get ride of its excess electrons, and the other half of the battery can gain back its missing electrons.
resulting in a recharged battery, that is ready to give more electricity.


the polarized water in the great pyramid, was to free up a large number of electrons.
so the electrons could move as ELECTRICITY, from one terminal to the other terminal.

that is the only reason why they used water instead of wire. because polarized water produces much more free electrons, than polarized copper wire.

by the way.

in the lemon battery, the electrons are NOT coming from the freaking steel nail already.

the electrons are coming from the electron-rich ACID, in the lemon.
the steel nails negative magnetism, is merely pushing the electrons away from the steel nail, towards the positive copper penny.

the water/juice in the lemon is being POLARIZED, by the negative steel nail, and the positive copper penny.
so that positive water ions lacking electrons move towards the steel nail,
and negative water ions with an excess of electrons, move towards the copper penny.


the excess electrons move from the water,
through the copper penny,
through the LED light being powered,
into the steel nail,
away from the steel nail,
through the polarized water in the lemon,
and back through the copper penny.

over and over again.


metal corrosion is merely TAKING PLACE on the steel nail.
metal corrosion is not the SOURCE OF ELECTRICITY.

the polarization in the water, between a positive material and a negative material, is the source of electricity.


the pyramid is a source of clockwise magnetism and counter-clockwise magnetism, which cause polarization, which causes electrons to move.

the pyramid get this clockwise magnetism and counter-clockwise magnetism, from the atoms that make up the metal pyramid.

because the 90 degree angle and 45 degree angle on each of the 4 corners, are abusing the atoms magnetic fields.

to cause these 2 magnetic spins, to build up in the pyramid.
to push electrons around.
