Earth Electrical Energy Datalogging Experiments

@Oscar,
Thank you for your explanation.
It incorporates so many of the "odd" things that we see.

I too, hope to see a drawing or some details about these inductors.
I think this is the next step.

Has anyone tried charging a Earth Battery?

I just hooked the EB for two hours on a 15watt, 23v solar panel. My initial readings were 45u amps and 901mv. After two hours charging the readings were 254u amps and 1.29volts. I'll keep it charging and will check back around 5:00 to see what the readings are.

That is a very neat idea! Keep it up and PLEASE post your results!

Big jump on the amps. After you disconnect the solar cell let the eb level out for a day then do a reverse polarity charge.

Just measured the EB after being charged with the panel. The reading was 1.31v and 361ua from this mornings 901mv and 45ua. It clouded over a couple times so it wasn't a full charge from the panel. Pretty good jump in amps, if you have a feedback loop to the earth battery from your circuit you can probably maintain it.

@IotaYodi, I disconnected it and will let it sit to see what it stabilizes to. If there are any breaks in the weather tomorrow I'll try a reverse charge.

Tomorrow is supposed to rain here but Saturday is looking great for solar. I want to hook the 90 watt solar array to it.

Oscar:

Thank you for your reply.  Well, that sure is an interesting theory.  I can't agree or disagree with it as I don't know enough to do either one.  From my own experiments, I can say that the Telluric theory fits perfectly but, so does yours as far as my results go.

I guess this means more experiments and the more folks we have doing this, the more we will all learn.

Thanks,

Bill
