Earth Electrical Energy Datalogging Experiments

Filling a 1/2 incopper tube is no fun with out preperation.
The fine dirt is ready, the soil-tipper-in-a-upper I made out of a 90 degree thin angle sheet steel.
I used my tin snips to put a fine snout on the end of the "tipper"

It worked a treat.

OK all.

When I began this Earth Battery project, most of us had tried to over a period of time to achieve a series connected earth cell arrangement.
We all failed, including myself.
The secret was hidden from everyone for a long time, then I stumbled on it.

Right OH, during my making of this particular earth cell setup, I have stated I would be looking for an output of 30 volts DC.

The following is what I have achieved today the 22nd of September 2009

63 CELL EARTH BATTERY Results

DRY cell Voltage = 20 volts the moment I connected my DMM to it.
It fell to             =17 volts soon after and seem to stay around that figure.

@ALL
                 SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT                   

I have succeeded in getting MORE Voltage out of another Earth Battery Cell setup, wired in SERIES.

I am getting a smugin over 50 volts DC

52.9 volts to be correct, please see photo of DMM reading, WHACKOOOOO.

Now, can I wire up my "original EB cells to this in series and see if I can get MORE voltage?

Hi electricme,

how much current is produced ?

Thanks

[electricme]

America sleeps whilst discoveries are made Ha ha

@ ALL Electricme has done it again.

Can several series earth batteries be connected in series together?

The answer is YES,
This afternoon I succeeded in doing this.

I have now 3 different Earth cell Batteries

These consist of the two which I made originally several months ago, and the huge one I made today.

The   7 cell Copper pipe earth cells
The 12 cell Aluminium earth cell battery which I made about 1 week later
The 63 cell earth battery I made today
Cells82 cells

I connected them all in series just an hour ago and I am getting 65.3 volts Peek voltage.

I just went outside (its getting fairly dark outside) again to checkup on my new cell setup and I read on the DMM 66.7 volts, yes very nice this ha ha.
