Earth Electrical Energy Datalogging Experiments

@electricme
Thanks for thinking about me.  All OK here, just tucked in for the winter.  Really cold, daytime highs below freezing.  At least no snow just really cold.

Merry Christmas to all.

Oh good tishatang.
I was wondering today how you are doing.

Happy winter solstice EVERYBODY.... and keep warm!

Looks like the thread died but I just received my oscilloscope and got some interesting results connected to my earth battery array.  Currently using 3 dipole long wire cells in parallel mg ribbon south copper north ~ 100' long each.  The scope shows spikes that may have been caused by a recent quake about 50 miles from here.  I posted a youtube video for your viewing pleasure *LOL* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuVoaLq0sIM

The thread did slow down alot, but it is never dead.  Thank you for your contribution in observation. 

I want ground sensor stations that can find these spikes automatically, and I know its possible... just takes $$ and someone to head it up. I would be willing to donate to some ground wave fund...

Anyway I have been tooling around with charging caps from the ground now that its warmer out. 

I fixed my design because I found that if you had a diode on the - side your cap would fill up to a higher voltage then if no diode.  2 diodes had lowest cap voltage, while a diode on the + showed an increase as well but not as much as the - side.

So I have been filling up 4 of those gigantic 650 farad supercaps with mostly voltaic pile but atleast 25% ground waves. I would say that the voltaic pile sets a direction in the soil or earth which the ground waves fall into if everything is set up right.

I think that 4 supercaps might be too much. I can fill one to .6 volts overnight, but it takes a week to fill all of them up to .6 (additive) - BUT there is potential for higher total voltage as you add the 4 caps together... so even though it is taking longer to put the charge in there, it is a great idea if you can set something up and forget about it.

Hmm it seems the ultra low voltage transistors I got don't work with a 1.5 volt with a resistor on it to limit the voltage down to half. Maybe its the resistor...

Also that stubblefield coil has been shown to be a motor!

Thx lazersaber.

I dont see it that way. The coil generates the power to run a motor. I see the coil as a generator.

From my scope shots and others Ive seen, the waveforms look like sawtooth waves. Is this what most are seeing?
