Earth Electrical Energy Datalogging Experiments

Video 2
The SERIES Connected EER Banks of cells...... IT IS POSSIBLE TO DO.

OK here are the details.

There are two separate EER cell banks

The left bank consist of 7 cells, these are Copper outer jackets with Zinc center electrodes.

The right bank consists of 12 cells, with Aluminium outer jackets with Copper inner electrode.

The funny thing is this, the 7 cells are POSITIVE to the earth
The Aluminium is NEGATIVE to the earth

But I can combine them in a SERIES configuration, without fear of sparks, or shorting out, they still work OK.

See the video below, my first series connected EER energy bank, making a total of 19 cells, using different metals to do it.

dont be afraid of sparks.

sparks from an earth battery is never a bad thing.

thats a sign of POWER.

i can only hope to have sparks one day....

good work on 9V

now what you do is make 50 of those 9v set-ups, and connect them in parallel !!!!

@ sm0ky2

Thanks for the advice smokey, all experience is needed here.

@ electricme

its funny, you have been going for volts, and i have been going for amps..

so allow me to shed my experience

to increase the amperage, simply connect all the (-) terminals together, and all the (+) terminals together.

you can do this with the first (-) and last (+) of several sets of series-linked tubes, and you will have both Volts and Amps.

and thus 'usable power'.

hope this helps

I have thought about this, but I simply don't have enough cells to try it out just at the moment, but it is on the agenda for sure.

Keep up the experimenting smoke

@ Jaenna,

Hold onto your straw hat, I will hook up a scope in a few minutes and we shall see the waveforms, but first I will have to hook up a extension lead.

Wow you guys kept busy after I turned in last night.
@jim,
That is a great test you did.
I didn't look at all the videos yet, but I think you did not do scope shots.
I would like to see them.
Even if you think they are garbled.
Maybe someone else has the same garble?
Or what if it is very unusual and tells us something?
So, please do a scope shot and upload one a day for the days you are home.

You can leave the probes ready to clip on and turn the scope on taks a pic and that is it.

@DreamTB, Good info.
Sorry about the worm farm.

@Sm0ky2
That is interesting.
I am glad for the experimentation.
I got a couple of ideas from it, thanks.

I took a bunch of scope shots this morning.
And one movie.
I hope you aren't all movied out.
It is very short because I left it in avi format so you don't need to use quicktime. I think you can just watch it?
Please let me know.
It is hard to make it short enough on my 5Mpx camera without compression. So here it is.
1 second short:

I never get movied out  just make em a little longer than half a second ha ha.

@DreamTB,
same here, about the worm farm, mabe they need a bigger shock lol.

@Jeanna

Here is a few photos for you, they are of my EER waveforms.

1265 = I have a LED across the 9v EER series cells, this it turns out is causing this waveform

1268 = Here we can see a still shot of both my scopes, Left scope shows the waveform of the Series cells, comparing to the 8inch disc EER.

1269 = After I remove the LED, BOTH waveforms are the same.
