We measure electricity from Earth Battery by add copper {+} and zinc {-} direct from get 24 VDC , but no ampere, so we ask if you know how to increase ampere, kindly advise would be appreciation for advance learning from Thailand.Manad Lamaisri , k9gb.thailand@gmail.com
@BREIZproject no magic for increasing amps here. More surface area of metals and a stronger redox reaction by using acid. Both solutions are not cost effective on a large scale.
@4240ed Galvanized zinc screws or nails. Not the best solution for longevity. You can purchase solid zinc from marine shops as some boats use a sacrificial zinc slab to counteract galvanic corrosion.

Thanks very much. For others reading i advise getting hold of a table of potential electron differences. The polar opposites (the biggest potential difference) will produce the most volts. Carbon and magnesium give very good results with almost 2V per cell. This is DC current only so please understand you are not going to get any truly meaningful work done like charge a battery. The mesapotamians were using this technique before Volta discovered it ... so this is all very elementary science.
What you are presenting here is great, i have been working on the same idea but i am not using hearth i use towel-paper water and a little 5% salad vinager. The zink does last a long time but i found something that gives much more power, (try ferrocerium) you should get 1.5 volts per cell. If you don`t know it by it`s technical name it is the little rock that sparks in cigaret lighters. These will turn into powder after a while but one can use only water with good results. Try it and have fun.
Good, I like that you share this video, I wish success always This earth battery produces 12V and was an experiment on increasing the amps with only a serial series and strong electrolyte

@acmsindia Copper and zinc. Any acid will do (Hcl) power for one week before needing more solution. Then have to clean metals. Only tested at room temperature (~25C)
can you explain how these are connected with magnets opposed to wires? I know magnets can push electrons and i've made one of these with dinky wires connecting each cell. I didn't even think about magnets lol
Well it's not just earth, air, water, and metal making the light. There's also some silicon and some other elements in the LED. And of course plastic in the LED cover, but that's not needed to make light.
@RadioIlluminaticom I take it you chose 17 because it places it at 204 volts which is close to the voltage of wall outlets in some contries right? The reason is because it would actually take a lot more then 17 to do that. You see voltage is not a measure of electrical power. Wattage is. Wattage is the current's voltage multiplied by it's amperage. The problem is this battery has allmost no amperage at all and thus 17 of them wouldn't be able to properly power anything.
@RadioIlluminaticom There is a way to increase the amperage though. You see you place batteries in series to increase their voltage but if you place them in parallel instead you increase their amperage. So you would need to make several sets of 17 batteries each in series and then connect each series together in parallel with eachother. Ultimately before yuo would actually get anything usefull out of it however you would have at least 170 of these things hooked up together.
@RadioIlluminaticom Even with the 170 conected together I highly doubt it would have the power needed to run anything for even six hours. It would probably take at least over 1700 of these things hooked together to actually get anything done that would be worth doing.
@983215ljhlkadbspig6y Hardly... There is no chance this thing could be producing enough amperage to even power an LED let alone anything the egyptians could have built.
@983215ljhlkadbspig6y What you don't understand is that the energy is not comming from the dirt. It is coming from electrolytes in the dirt. This is a chemical battery. It works in the same way as modern batteries do. The electrolytes contain a limited amount of energy and thus once depleted they must be replaced. The egyptians running any form of lighing on a battery system like this would be like trying to run an electric car on a single AA battery.
@MrAwsome514 Technically it is possible but it would require something called a joule theif circuit (which the egyptians would not have had as it requires a transistor) and even still the battery would be drained so qickly it would take a creat full of them to get any work done. The difference is the alkaline batteries in this car scenario are a lot smaller then these earth batteries. Could you imagine having to replace an entire room full of dirt every couple of minutes? Not very effective...
@delagrazia Do you know how much money you would be spending on vinegar to get any significant amount of power out of these for any significant amount of time? Chemical batteries are only as powerful as the electrolyte you use in them... There is a reason why the batteries you get at the store use alkaline or lithium and not vinegar.
@fuckityouwin Yes it is a fraud. It is just a MUCH more basic version of a chemical battery not much different from the ones you buy at the store... With the exeption that this is a low tech and MUCH lower power version. He is trying to pass it off as something a lot more significant then what it actually is. But it is still just a chemical battery. It will run out of power just like any other chemical battery and it will do so faster then any other chemical battery you have ever seen.
@TheDanvanno You don't understand how chemical bateries work. See it is not really the dirt that is producing the energy but rather various chemical compounds that where allready in the dirt when he dug it up. Those chemicals contain a limited amount of energy that once drained must be replinished by adding more chemicals to it from an external source.
but this is the same as making a regular acid battery without the use of dirt... all you need to make a battery is an electrolyte solution and 2 dissimilar metals
@zackthegoth You should make an earth battery it is super simple I am in the process of stepping mine up I am hoping to pull at least 12 v to constantly charge a battery bank.

@kren2012 not quite. The work required to turn over a car has only a little to do with the amount of volts. This low output DC is really only useful for L.E.D's and other low consumption devices.
@johnnytheprick nothing more than the LED shown here though i am sure it would run my exciter or magnet rotor (other video) if used with a little extra circuitry. Hope Melb is enjoying the weather. I'm in Brazil at the mo.
@brandon9966 I don't mind explaining. Each cell is connected to the next by a neo magnet in place of wire. They are made of neodymium, iron & boron and are coated in nickel to prevent iron from oxidation.The nickel is transferring electrons from one metal to the next. It is simply acting as a wire. Obviously electrons are affected by a magnetic field, so on this level there is certainly interaction, but i don't have equipment to explore it further. I believe there is a slingshot effect going on.
I should mention there is no wireless electricity going on. That is shown in my other videos. Here, the two dissimilar metals are connected by magnets (aligned in sync) because i was too lazy to solder wires to the metals. Nothing ground breaking going on here. Between each cell is a magnet which connects all the cells in series.
@brandon9966 Yes they may act as a conduit for electrons. If not the magnet itself, then most certainly the material they are coated in. I used them in place of wire for this project, but can't comment on using them in all electronics. Keep in mind the coating on the magnets will deteriorate very quickly.
@xbuster17 This device certainly won't produce enough power to effectively run your fan. "but i don't want to renew the metals much(ever if possible) " ... that would be nice although a bit of a pipe dream. The only cell i have seen that requires little replenishment is the crystal battery set in stone by Huttchinson. Bedini is also working on it although i think a cooling system would require considerably more power than they produce.
@Br0kenMan thanks for the replies,i wasen't thinking that much of a cooling systems but just something cool to show, something like a very weak everlasting home made energy cell... those crystal batteries sound cool but i've never seen a DIY tutorial, maybe they are not as simple as it sounds...thinking of using some constant energy source like gravity or cosmicwaves or brainwaves...idk...i so wish Tesla was still alive...cheers man
ain't this a waste of zinc and copper? eventually won't they break and stop working? i made this with just vinegar and it worked good until it didn't work anymore and it didn't last too long.. or is the earth somehow protecting the things from rusting or whatever happens to them? i want to start a pc cooler with earth or something that would last at least 1 year could you help me ?
@xbuster17 yes this is a waste of metals which is precisely why it isn't produced on a large scale. The doesn't erodes much slower under the earth and most of the reduction and oxidation takes place just above the level of the earth. I would have to say this isn't the best road to go down for creating a viable solution for PC cooling.
M NOT TRYING TO ADVERTISE BUT IM SCARED OF WHAT IT SEES in 1908 a lady named sally rusa was in the woods looking for a dog until a ghost came and killed her so if ur reading this u will find a bloody body in your closet hanging there haunting you and will kill u and ur family and if u want to stop this just sends this to 6 videos in 30 mins or this will happen!
@minhchau1997 carbon and Mg was my other battery that gave me enough power to run a small magnet rotor. Not alot of practicle use but an enjoyable experiment. These days i have been focusing more on the wireless electricity.
@siafulinux No after 2 weeks the metals need to be replaced. Oxidation has taken it's toll. If solid metals were being used (solid zinc and copper) then you would only need to scrub them to remove oxidation. The zinc would not be reduced as fast as it is solid.
@Br0kenMan lol yup I realized later on that I had said the wrong thing. So you basically get two weeks before needing to replace/scrub the metals. Do you think this would work with something other than metal, perhaps graphite and something else to reduce/prevent the replacing so often or perhaps a much larger version, it should take a longer period of time before needing to be replaced? Correct?
@siafulinux Yes graphite and magnesium for example would give you excellent results and the graphite would not need replacing much. A larger version should last a little longer, but i would not imagine by much. The redox rate would be equal, however the increased surface area of metals would mean a better throughput of electrons resulting in more work available ... or a higher amperage if you like.
@OKMUNWURX Thanks. The coins are copper and the other metal is galvanized in zinc ... so it is essentially copper and zinc. Instead of these two metals i have used carbona nd magnesium which have a much higher electron potential ... and give around 2V per cell. You can see the homemade carbon magnesium battery runing a small magnet motor here: w w w .youtube.com/watch?v=VsH9WKb1GE8
whyy is the video bad quality??? as u can see by the remote that he started the video with, is a remote for a canon vixia hf200, full quality hd camera -_- noob
I stuck a penny and a galvanized nail into the earth in my backyard. It read 1.2V in AC. There is something to do with this. It is nice of you to post this video. Thank you!
@peacepalace Yes this is the same although without containing the earth in separate cells it is harder to have multiple cells (series connection). It is however the exact same redox reaction between two metals. Elementary stuff that the even ancient civilizations knew about.
Why the dirt at all? Why not shrink the whole thing dramatically and just use the acid solution? Or would that make the video boring because then it's not a "dirt battery" (which it isn't anyway)? I'm just curious.
A "dirt battery" implies that I could stick these electrodes in my garden outside and get 12V out of that setup.
@robvh2 I have explained this a few times in comments. The earth merely acts as a substrate to hold the metals upright and retain moisture. Using just the acid solution works fine, but there is nothing to support the metals, and they redox out too fast. Yes, the video would be less interesting without dirt. Ones definition of a dirt battry will vary and i am not so sure there is a fixed definition. Lithium batteries contain lithium and so on, my one contains earth.
@BobTheNecrophile Unfortunately no. Only low DC power devices such as calculators and LEDs. Take a look at my wireless electricity videos where i show charging a capacitor from water, and from the excited local vacuum surrounding a slayer exciter. I believe this has charging potential.
Sorry to point this out, but what you have here is not a dirt battery. A dirt battery or microbial fuel cell, produces electricity by the metabolic processes of certain microbes in the soil as they metabolize organic matter. You can extract the ions using a cathode at the surface of the soil and an anode buried in the soil. Connecting a load (an LED for example) completes the circuit. Also voltage is measured across the load and current is measured through the load.
@albertsneijMD The solution is Hydrochloric acid probably available at pool shops. Any acid will do fine including coca cola, vinegar or lemon juice. The metal connectors are small cylindrical neodymium magnets.
@Br0kenMan The soil itself is not generating the power in this case but as a means to contain the Hydrochloric acid solution for a chemical reaction. You can use ordinary cloth in exchange of the earth and it will still work with the solution.
You said you were using neodymium magnets instead of wire? Does that mean that the electrical current is being transmited through the electromagnetic field they produce?
As far as i am concerned, the dirt helps to retain moisture, hold the metals upright, and slightly retard redox from reaching equilibrium. On a quantum level, i have no idea what is going on inside there. Thanks for your comment.
Actually, I think it might be a good idea to use dirt with the mixture of electrolyte. There may be something within the dirt that aids and sustains it for a longer period.
Class. Something you have in spades. Is it any wonder Haters never have any videos up?
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to make the world a smarter better place. For that, I am subscribed. It never fails to amaze me how people with nothing to contribute to the world make an account here. Sad...
It never fails to amaze me how many stupid people with a multimeter there are on youtube. If you remove the dirt, and just use salt solution, you will get a better result. The energy comes from the chemical oxidation of the metal. But then again, you are not really sure what 'energy' really means are you?
@Planman01 You are quick to shoot off your mouth. If you'd taken the time to read ANY of my remarks you would see i agree one hundred percent. Better still, check out some of my other video. It never fails to amaze me how ignorant some people are on youtube that take everything at face value. i know very well what energy is ... something i will not waste any more of refuting your poorly blurted comment. Ignoramus.
@Planman01 Your just an old senile old man with nothing to do but bash people on youtube. Checked your profile and your 48 with NO uploads. The way you talk you make people think there is a point to your life, oops, my bad for thinking that was a possibility.
@Planman01 This comment is ridiculous, he was showing us you can make a battery from earth, not from salt solution. I mean he'd also get a better result from buying a 12 volt battery, but that's not the point.
@Planman01 If I may interject, I doubt you know what "energy" means either. In fact, this being the point of the interesting and well thought earth battery project. Energy is not directly observable, and any study to determine potential for work in any system is helpful for us laypeople. This kind of backyard technology is responsible for your ability to belittle people in cyberspace. just sayin'
when you said you added the spirit of salt, do u mean the spirit of salt that you aquired alchemically, or what. And whatever you mean can you explain to me how you aquired it. thanks a lot. Please please respond...
@cityboy953 it is hydrochoric acid. Any acid will do. Can't remember where i bought it i have had it for so long. Pool shops or outlets that sell cleaning agents would probably sell it.
Copper and zinc is not in a car battery. They use lead (lasst time i checked) ... which is much more potent than my experimental battery here. There is no chance here of using an inverter, or charging ANYTHING with it. I've mentioned so many times here that the dirt just acts as a substrate to hold up the metal. It also helps with retaining moisture. Thanks for your comments.
copper and zinc with vinegar= a baterry ...vinegar is a acid... copper and zinc is in a car battery with acid do you see a picture going on here.. just a home made battery with dirt added
@SaschaHeylik like i've said before, a lithium battery contains lithium, an alkaline battery contains an alkaline subtance, NiCd contains nickel and an earth battery contains dirt.
what are the materials needed to make this, how much of each?

@brandon9966 I don't mind explaining. Each cell is connected to the next by a neo magnet in place of wire. They are made of neodymium, iron & boron and are coated in nickel to prevent iron from oxidation.The nickel is transferring electrons from one metal to the next. It is simply acting as a wire. Obviously electrons are affected by a magnetic field, so on this level there is certainly interaction, but i don't have equipment to explore it further. I believe there is a slingshot effect going on.

I should mention there is no wireless electricity going on. That is shown in my other videos. Here, the two dissimilar metals are connected by magnets (aligned in sync) because i was too lazy to solder wires to the metals. Nothing ground breaking going on here. Between each cell is a magnet which connects all the cells in series.
Br0kenMan 5 months ago
@brandon9966 Yes they may act as a conduit for electrons. If not the magnet itself, then most certainly the material they are coated in. I used them in place of wire for this project, but can't comment on using them in all electronics. Keep in mind the coating on the magnets will deteriorate very quickly.

btw the fan says it takes 12v and 0.19a . pretty sure this battery would run it but i don't want to renew the metals much(ever if possible) . cheers

@xbuster17 This device certainly won't produce enough power to effectively run your fan. "but i don't want to renew the metals much(ever if possible) " ... that would be nice although a bit of a pipe dream. The only cell i have seen that requires little replenishment is the crystal battery set in stone by Huttchinson. Bedini is also working on it although i think a cooling system would require considerably more power than they produce.

@Br0kenMan thanks for the replies,i wasen't thinking that much of a cooling systems but just something cool to show, something like a very weak everlasting home made energy cell... those crystal batteries sound cool but i've never seen a DIY tutorial, maybe they are not as simple as it sounds...thinking of using some constant energy source like gravity or cosmicwaves or brainwaves...idk...i so wish Tesla was still alive...cheers man

ain't this a waste of zinc and copper? eventually won't they break and stop working? i made this with just vinegar and it worked good until it didn't work anymore and it didn't last too long.. or is the earth somehow protecting the things from rusting or whatever happens to them? i want to start a pc cooler with earth or something that would last at least 1 year could you help me ?
xbuster17 5 months ago
@xbuster17 yes this is a waste of metals which is precisely why it isn't produced on a large scale. The doesn't erodes much slower under the earth and most of the reduction and oxidation takes place just above the level of the earth. I would have to say this isn't the best road to go down for creating a viable solution for PC cooling.

siafulinux 5 months ago
@siafulinux it lasted around 1 week before needing wetting again, and then ran for another week before the redox reaction reached equilibrium.
Br0kenMan 5 months ago
@Br0kenMan So, if I understand correctly, after the two weeks in order to get it working again the fluid would need to be replaced?
siafulinux 5 months ago
@siafulinux No after 2 weeks the metals need to be replaced. Oxidation has taken it's toll. If solid metals were being used (solid zinc and copper) then you would only need to scrub them to remove oxidation. The zinc would not be reduced as fast as it is solid.
Br0kenMan 5 months ago
@Br0kenMan lol yup I realized later on that I had said the wrong thing. So you basically get two weeks before needing to replace/scrub the metals. Do you think this would work with something other than metal, perhaps graphite and something else to reduce/prevent the replacing so often or perhaps a much larger version, it should take a longer period of time before needing to be replaced? Correct?
siafulinux 5 months ago
@siafulinux Yes graphite and magnesium for example would give you excellent results and the graphite would not need replacing much. A larger version should last a little longer, but i would not imagine by much. The redox rate would be equal, however the increased surface area of metals would mean a better throughput of electrons resulting in more work available ... or a higher amperage if you like.

@OKMUNWURX Thanks. The coins are copper and the other metal is galvanized in zinc ... so it is essentially copper and zinc. Instead of these two metals i have used carbona nd magnesium which have a much higher electron potential ... and give around 2V per cell.

Why the dirt at all? Why not shrink the whole thing dramatically and just use the acid solution? Or would that make the video boring because then it's not a "dirt battery" (which it isn't anyway)? I'm just curious.
A "dirt battery" implies that I could stick these electrodes in my garden outside and get 12V out of that setup.
robvh2 5 months ago
@robvh2 I have explained this a few times in comments. The earth merely acts as a substrate to hold the metals upright and retain moisture. Using just the acid solution works fine, but there is nothing to support the metals, and they redox out too fast. Yes, the video would be less interesting without dirt. Ones definition of a dirt battry will vary and i am not so sure there is a fixed definition. Lithium batteries contain lithium and so on, my one contains earth.

Animehem 7 months ago
Sorry to point this out, but what you have here is not a dirt battery. A dirt battery or microbial fuel cell, produces electricity by the metabolic processes of certain microbes in the soil as they metabolize organic matter. You can extract the ions using a cathode at the surface of the soil and an anode buried in the soil. Connecting a load (an LED for example) completes the circuit. Also voltage is measured across the load and current is measured through the load.

@Br0kenMan The soil itself is not generating the power in this case but as a means to contain the Hydrochloric acid solution for a chemical reaction. You can use ordinary cloth in exchange of the earth and it will still work with the solution.

It never fails to amaze me how many stupid people with a multimeter there are on youtube. If you remove the dirt, and just use salt solution, you will get a better result.

Copper and zinc is not in a car battery. They use lead (lasst time i checked) ... which is much more potent than my experimental battery here.

It also helps with retaining moisture. Thanks for your comments.
