Earth Electrical Energy Datalogging Experiments

[IotaYodi]

The stronger currents flow from south to north.
The current produced is highest when the two metals are most widely separated from each other in the electropotential series and that the material nearer the positive end is to the north, while that at the negative end is towards the south.
Lord Kelvin observed that such variables as placement of the electrodes in the magnetic field and the direction of mediums's flow affected the current output of his device.

@ Bill

i have verified with my compass, North is in fact "down".
and its dead on at 67-degrees.

so my 5-foot pipe should be perfect.
when i triangulate the distance between my electrodes, limited by the fence, it puts the hypotenuse right at 67-degrees.

so, the only problem i have right now is the fact that my 5-ft pipe is stainles steel, and the other electrode is copper sheets.

this is of course backwards to the reccomended metal-types
for each particular electrode....

that being said::  many of us have 'ruled out' galvonic reaction as a source. So my question is "why" would it matter which end north/south has the steel and which has the copper?

im gonna go ahead with what i have and post the results soon.

hopefully i wont be pulling a 5-ft pipe out of the ground to replace it with a copper one (lol)

Smokey:

Well, I believe what Iotayodi posted is correct.  But, if you have the materials such as you do and go ahead and try it...what the heck.  We all might learn something here.  My only problem if it was me, was that no matter what juice I got out of it that way, I would always wonder how much more I might have obtained the other way.  But that's me.  Hey, I got excited when I made a few adjustments here and there and got another .3 volts.

Hey, since you are in my state, good luck getting anything into the ground 5 feet, ha ha.  Maybe not where you are but around here, very rocky...a lot of limestone.

Let us know how you make out, and good luck.

Roll up the sheets and lay down the pipe? Sounds like a dance.

It seems that this sea battery is a way to jack up the volts and amps, if the other end is bigger the other is forced to matched so it goes up, regarding volts and amps.

It has been found that all the common metals behave relatively similarly. The two spaced electrodes, having a load in an external circuit connected between them, are disposed in an electrical medium, and energy is imparted to the medium in such manner that "free electrons" in the medium are excited. The free electrons then flow into one electrode to a greater degree than in the other electrode, thereby causing electric current to flow in the external circuit through the load.

This as i already knew explains why you got those strange results from your...what is it called :p? pirate
