Earth Electrical Energy Datalogging Experiments

[jdcmusicman]

I just checked my stainless steel/aluminum cell in full sun ..
This one is just dirt no electrolyte and I have not been adding any water its just been sitting outside on my steps for days now ..
But anyway ..
Last night my readings were  .54 volts 2 ma shorted
Today in full sun  it is  .66 volts 3.2 ma shorted ..

This is a pretty good change in my opinion
So apparently It does better in the day than night .
Can't wait to get more data on this to be sure ..
This is exciting .I will try to build a copper/zinc one tonight and see how it performs between night/day..

Thanks Jdcmusicman

JDC:

That is good information to have.  Nice work.

Hi everybody,
Do you remember a couple of days ago how I put up a comparison pic of 3 battery systems all in a row at each scope resolution so you could compare them?
Of course you do.
This is the direct link to the page I am referring to.
0.5us resolution.
http://www.overunity.com/index.php?topic=7769.msg195645#msg195645

I will post some more (not like that day however) of just this same resolution.
This is for yesterday and today
AND
it is comparing the plain EB with the EB=EER which has a Stubblefield generator added to both ends.
The ground was pretty dry 2 days ago and there was a light mist this morning and I am sure it had some effect, but it was not much water as water goes. The surface of the ground was dry.
So, 2 days 2 battery types 1 resolution.
(oh darn 2 days ago the earth battery alone was too low to see anything at .5us I just have 5ms.)
Still, it is worth seeing the comparison.

The order goes like this
yesterday
EB vdc on DMM
EB 5ms
NS added on N and S .5us
today
EB vdc on DMM
EB .5us
NS added on N and S .5us

Big difference today the NS has almost 40mv consistently and the EB has about 7.5mV.

Must be the whole earth is responding.
I just took today's measurements. It is normal on the plain EB, but the NS on both ends , although it has more according to the dmm (less for the past few days, but up a bit today) shows even lower than the plain EB.

Oh how to sort this out?
I hope someone else can get outside daily and give some reports.
I do not know if this is a local phenomenon? (military base nearby) or global? or what else?

The first 2 are plain EB
The last 3 are with added NS on each end.
This looks higher AS usual on the 5ms screen, but the next moment it fell and stayed low as you can see in the final pic the voltage is lower than with the plain EB

Jeanna:

You are not close to Mt. St. Helens are you?  Now you are going to ask me why I asked that and....I don't really know...just that you mentioned some funny readings up there.
