Many people do not realize just how natural a phenomenon electron flow
or electricity is and that there are many conditions that exist in
nature that can result in some form of it occurring. There is a
interaction between dissimilar metals that can be observed and
calculated from the periodic table if you know each of the two metals
involved that produces a small current flow.
A homemade earth battery
To
take advantage of the physics of this and make a battery a home is
relatively simple once you understand what is actually happening.
DIY battery uses earth and dissimilar metals to produce free power
In
this video you will see how by using a few things that are easily found
around the house you can build an earth based battery. You will an
ice-cube tray, some earth ( preferably moist) , some copper wire and a
few galvanized ( zinc and nickel) bolts or screws. As you can see with
the volt meter producing just under 5 volts in this manor is not
difficult. If you were really generate higher voltage or amperage you
can make many more of these ice-cube modules and wire them together
either in series or parallel depending on what you.
It is
important to note that as the earth dries out and becomes less
conductive the power will diminish so every couple of days you can add
some water.
An earth battery that gives 8.5 volts dc
Here
is a 2nd video from a different backyard experimenter that claims to
have produced 8.5 volts with a arrangement of flower pot earth cells.
This looks worth a try as well.
If you find this as fascinating as I do give it a try and see what
voltage you can get to. Could a permanent earth battery be set up to be
able to charge say an electric car? That would be something right?
