Earth Electrical Energy Datalogging Experiments

@Cap-z-ro,
You took a capacitor and wrapped a wire around it?...
pretty interesting idea.

Now Since I finally made a 'standard" setup, and it was fresh this morning, I took more measurements this evening.

Using the Cu+ and Zn- probes which are about 9 feet altogether, 4 1/2 feet of wire each to meter in center...
0.820vdc

Here are some pix of that.
Again the name of the pic identifies the measurements.

Jim, we'll probably never who did this first...but the fact you came up with it on your own places you among those who did.

Your great accomplishment still stands tall in my eyes.

Regards...

Thanks Cap-Z-ro,

I just did a bit of thinking, took a long time though , but credit should be given to the people who first did it, ages ago, not me.

But I appreciate your words

Actually, this afternoon I was thinking about pressing some PVC tubing into service, (just a thought mind you), line the inside with a metal sheet and put a different metal in it as the second electrode.

@Jeanna,
Those scope images of yours are much much more clear now, well done.

I can even read it properly now  I think you are masking out the outside light, it's very good.



@All, HELP.
My 7 series cell setup is failing.

Don't know what hapenning, the output has dropped and I don't know why.

This afternoon, I removed the Zinc center electrodes, replaced them with new ones and made new individual readings of each cell, not connected to each other.

Here are my readings, all open circuit, over about 4 hours.

Cell1      Cell2      Cell3     Cell4      Cell5      Cell6        Cell7 replace zinc eltro
o.885v   0.915v    0.847v   0.888v    0.900v    0.858v     0.622v    2PM   5.915v
0.898v   0.945v    0.858v   0.902v    0.926v    0.876v     0.939v    3PM   6.344v
1.001v   1.008v    0.876v   0.977v    0.967v    0.961v     0.958v    4PM   6.748v
1.001v   1.103v    0.874v   0.981v    0.965v    0.982v     0.953v    5PM   6.859v
1.007v   1.007v    0.872v   0.975v    0.962v    0.984v     0.938v    6PM   6.745v

With all these above figures, I should be getting the voltage as seen    ABOVE or very close to it, but it's awful.

But, having connected ALL the cells in series, and the DMM shows I only have 3.4 volts, this is no good, it is still working as a series setup, but, I have a leakage somewhere.

It is currently 8:33pm 2.5 hours later, 7 cells showing 2.95volts, no load.

I will try a Joule Thief on it shortly and see what happens.
The 1.2v NiMH cell is at .52volts which is too low to run it.

The NiMH is very slowly charging at 0.17Ma and has reached 1.044 volts.

Since replacing the Zinc electrode did not improve the situation, I might have to dig the 7 cells up, and see whats happening with the copper tubes, and try to relocate or re orientate them.

I suspect energy is leaking from beneath the cells or the electrical tape is allowing volts to pass by the tube sides, we shall see what the morrow brings.

My nerves are bad, gotta watch it.

......, I have a leakage somewhere. .....

Hi electricme,
first of all thanks for posting the details about your series setup.

I also started experimenting along those lines (rod in tube cells) and never succeeded in serializing due to "leakage". I saw the voltage going up when putting my cells in series, but additional cells only gave approx. 20 % gain to the total voltage. Never been able to achieve the full 80 to 100% addition,
until you did it and explained it and the document of weri

was posted.

However, I am now in the process of taking all cells out of the earth (in my case a sand heap left over from building), putting now each cell in a separate bottle filled with soil/sand (tried plastic and glass bottles, both work).
I think that is a good idea, as it seems to work and there is no leakage possible and you don't have to insulate the pipes with tape, as the bottle serves as the insulator.
Can put the array of bottles anywhere you like (on a table ...), it still works.

I am convinced (but may be wrong) that its just the interaction of the earth magnetic field with the dissimilar metals and the soil (I use sifted sand, moistened with water and vibrate the bottles while dripping water over the sand in the bottles, so that it gets really dens and solid)

Thanks for everything.

PS But must admit that I am only measuring open circuit voltage, so am not sure how much current there would be available from a "desktop EER".
You on the other hand could compare it directly with your system in the ground, hint ...,  hint ...,

edit: no metal (electrode) should be allowed to touch the bottle. Do not push electrodes fully down to contact the bottle base. All sides of the rods and tubes must be surrounded by soil/sand.

Remove a cell and take the dirt out. Take sandpaper and sand the copper till its shiny. Put back in the ground without rod or dirt. Put a new rod in the ground next to it. Check it.
