Tree power

[Steven Dufresne]

Someone mentioned earth as positive.

I think what people mean when they say this is that the earth is positive with respect to the ionosphere - I know that's what I mean when I say it. Polarity/voltage is all relative, so to be clear you always what to say what it is relative too.

"If a properly grounded fieldmeter is brought outside and directed upward, the meter would likely measure an electric field directed downward with a strength of approximately 150 V·mâ€"1. If the measurement were made on a mountaintop, the field may be 10 or more times stronger. These measurements are indicative of fair-weather conditions. "

a 1.75m tall man has between his head and feet a voltage difference of 265 volts

a a tree 15 m high 2250 volts

this is also the source of our life?

(helix DNA .... earth voltage gradient + earth magnetic field = magnetron)
You can see why it is dangerous to stand under power lines
