Earth Battery Experiments

[a2zhandi]

There are countless configurations you can try. But your on the right track. I have had some ideas for several years now. But haven't taken the time to explore. Thanks for a little inspiration!

[ChemTrailSkys]

Will Iron & Copper work?

[ibpointless2]

Where do you get a carbon rod at?

[AtvProjects]

im not that good with electronics but how did you hook the LED to the capacitor?

[Pirate88179]

It is easy. Minus of the supercap to the minus leg of the led. Positive of the supercap to the positive of the led but, I didn't solder this, I used this as a simple on-off switch which can be held closed by the alligator clip on the plus side of the earth battery lead.

Bill

[Abnermoon]

Can regular automotive batteries be charged with this current source?

[Pirate88179]

Not at this point with my set-up as seen here. I am now charging a 650 Farad b-cap to 2.7 volts which holds a lot of power but, not enough in my opinion to charge a 12 volt high amp car battery.

Bill

[Abnermoon]

@Pirate88179 Thanks

[ibpointless2]

@Pirate88179 A one amp hour car battery equals about 300 farads, so you're getting close. You would need a 2100 Farad Cap to equal a lawn mower battery, It would be very expensive.

Where did you get a carbon rod at?

[Pirate88179]

@ibpointless2

See my work under Pirate88179. I am using a 650 Farad cap and I am going to order 4 more of them. They also offer a 1,650 F cap but it is cheaper for me to get the smaller ones and wire them together. I think the 1,650 caps are like $80.00. I got the carbon rod from a company called Airgas.

This video is old, check out my new stuff.

Bill

[cdltpx]

You need to find a resistor to attach to the LED not a capacitor. A capacitor will store a charge and release it. The resistor will reduce current to prevent burning up your LED. If you wish to increase current or voltage you hook up your batteries either in series or parallel I forget which is which but hook em up that way and you will find out when you measure. For more info go to how stuff works search your question there. Great idea to use the earth for a light sure beats using a solar cell.

[0WildBill0]

Thanks but that is not correct. Using nothing but a single super capacitor I can now light 400 leds from my set-up. Resistors waste energy in the form of heat. I do not want to waste energy, but use it efficiently. You can't hook up an earth battery in series to increase volts or parallel to increase amps without first isolating them from each other and by doing that, you cut down on the total power available. See my latest work under Pirate88179, home of Pirate Labs.

Thanks,

Bill

@0WildBill0 The first Man Made earthquake lasted a whole week. Shattered glaciers. Threw all life up ut of the see... fossils still there for decades you see. If they can hide this, then what can't they hide... THE CAN'T HIDE ME and The Earthquake at Disenchantment Bay has Shide No. 333, 1899 the Yakutat Bay earthquake of September 3. Shide No. 337 is one of the early shocks on September 10 and No.338 the heaviest shock of September 10

[a2zhandi]

@cdltpx The earth is in fact the solar cell!

[Pirate88179]

I just posted my video of my earth battery running 100 leds. Check it out!

Bill

[Pirate88179]

It's on my channel. I also posted a video of it running an 18" 15 watt florescent tube.

Bill

[Pirate88179]

I posted a video response showing my earth battery running a superbright 10mm 28,000 MCD LED.

Bil

[ggohdin]

If you dont attatch the 2 rods with wire and just have the negative on the multimetre attatched to 1 earth rod and positive contact of the multimetre going into the earth between the 2 earth rods, you will get the same readings.

[Pirate88179]

Maybe with the volt reading but not the mA levels.

Bill

[kukulcangod]

By the way in this area the soil seems to be a poor conductor because is sand haven't been able to try in different grounds, but I am happy with the results...So there you have it experimenters in a nutshell all of the usefull details.......Remember is a gift from nature and if you used it wrongly it would turn around and bite you in the ass......it did hapened thousands of years ago to Aztecs Egyptians and Atlanteans

[kukulcangod]

My joule thief lights up a 3.2 volt 25 mAh led with a 1.5 batery , the thief has 20 turns of magnetic wire around the ferrite core ....but it doesn't work with my battery

what do you think might be the reason?. best regards.

[kukulcangod]

Amperage goes up with more magnesium blocks but what would you suggest to do in order to get 2 amps or more??

[kukulcangod]

And to add even more to the theory my magnesium rods work better when placed in plant pots, not even buried orientation though is paramount , surrounded by plants after my rods were in the ground they stoped producing voltage current then again it was worth my wife's frustration if it wasn't for this I would've have not a clue ..it was amazing to find that is true....Everything else is for that matter....Thank you for your certainly "brilliant" contribution

[kukulcangod]

Wild bill I got 1.7v and .40 mAh and I am using a 48 inch carbon rod 2 feet of it are buried in the ground now my 5 firestarters from walmart are linked and isolated from an aluminum angle bar it lights up an led ,but I don't know how to make the capacitor set up would you please explained? I looked in the overunity forum but couldn't find anything giving me a clue, now to add to our claims of success my set up is just separated by about 3 feet between rods

[Subspace4d]

Try to use Joule Thief between battery and lights.

[CoolMaDude]

This Stubblefield dude should be famous, he was before anyone else and worked with Telsa, he named one of his kids after his good buddy Telsa too.

[CoolMaDude]

So Nathan Stubblefield utilized his earth batteries as the induction through the electromagnetic field which forced that spark of electricity, inducing it. Then through the ether, to antennas to transmit sound/voice.

He was able to heat his house due to his first invention, being this the earth battery and all across his property to light up the trees and the the whole hillside. This is absolutely amazing to me.

Why don't more people and history know about Nathan Stubblefield? before others

[rainstormaeroponics]

great stuff

keep up the good work would it run a bedini motor?

[Pirate88179]

Good question. I am now working on running a joule thief and if I can get that to run, then a Bedini motor should work also. Thanks.

[podcastsonyt]

o ya dis is a very good "trick". to da anode hook ur battery n bary da battery underground running a wire 2 ur cathode through da ground n it looks lik free energy doesn't it. mind explaining how it would actually work. n if it can why don't they just hav forests full of these discrete (so called free energy) leads coming out of da ground n da trees n powering houses? if u had enough u could do it so why not, it wouldn't hert anyting if u baried dem so they don't disturb da wild life would it?

[Pirate88179]

There are no batteries buried in the ground. The Stubblefield earth battery is patented and is very well known, and has been since the late 1800's. this is very easy to replicate so there is no reason to cheat. you should try it yourself. At the end of my testing last year I got 2.2 vdc @ 472 mA's. It is all free and runs for years with no maintenance.

[Pirate88179]

Just google telluric currents and read how it works. As Tesla said, there is enough energy in the ground to run everything we would ever need. Alignment and height differential of the electrodes is crucial to performance.

[EmptyBottleTherapies]

not exactly true, Tesla said there was much energy to be utilized from the ambient medium. (Material surrounding or contacting an organism, e.g. outdoor air, indoor air, water, and yes soil too.)

[josephdupont]

You could put those rods in salt water..

and get these voltages as the magnesium

decays. You can get AC from the local power lines in the ground.

[0WildBill0]

Yes but that would not be an earth battery. As you said, the magnesium would decay, and decay very quickly. My original set-up has been in the ground for over a year and is fine, no decay. There are no power lines in the ground near me and I am getting dc out of the battery electrodes. The ac readings on my DMM, I did not understand at the time of the video, were just a quirk of DMMs. Try this and you can get free energy out of it like I am for a long time. Thanks for your comments.

[silverfox2358]

Why dont you put more rods in the ground say 10 Anodes & cathodes like you would normal batteries and instead of 4 foot rods 2,5 or 10 or more meters would be better :)

[dodoshlodo]

cool! well done!

[0WildBill0]

Not true at all! You should study this a little bit before making a statement like that. If you use two metals of the same kind, you still get a current. If you place the electrodes a mile apart, you get even more. How is this galvanic then? One of my electrodes in this video is not even metal. This is collecting the teluric current that are free in the earth. Do a google on teluric currents and you will see what I mean. We are now up to over 85 mA on our present designs.

[Drevtoobe]

I was curious about teluric currents because I had never heard of the term so I looked it up.

These is not a chance in the world that you are measuring the effects of teluric currents because they are minuscule, so small that with two probes a meter apart in the ground the voltage would almost certainly be well below the measuring threshold of your meter.

Meanwhile you are probably well aware that your magnesium (?)probe is a standard component of a batt. Why leap and ignore at the same time?

[silverfox2358]

what if you stuck the rods ether side of a stream or say your mighty Colorado river

[DJGOODWEED]

interesting question.... very interesting, I'll have your house surrounded by fed goons in moments

[cmatrix4761]

The average family uses 3000 KWatt-Hours per month; working back from AC to DC on a standard 1500 Watt inverter and that means 300 Kamp-hours per month, or slightly over 400 amps (4,882 times more than your example). An 85 mamp source might power a wristwatch.

However, that's alot better than other models I've seen that barely get 10 mamps. Keep working -- it's research like this that yields breakthroughs noone expects.

[0WildBill0]

I don't disagree with your numbers.What keeps us going is the knowledge that Nathan Stubblefield(you can Google him)ran all of his farm, including lights and heat and telephone service for the entire county on these devices.(in 1910)He was using bifilar coils which we are now experimenting with as well.This video is old and I will update with our new numbers we have achieved thus far.I am just truly amazed that we can light leds for nothing forever using simple devices. Thanks for your comment.

[Pirate88179]

As of last year I was getting 472 mA's from these. Still not alot in the big scheme of things but, getting there. Thanks for your comments

[LoneOarman]

Did you try several circuits parallel?

[Drevtoobe]

This is all just chemical energy from dissimilar metals in an electrolyte. The moist earth is the electrolyte.

[Eltimple]

I agree, pour some water into the ground around the probes and you will get more current. Poor physics

[DJGOODWEED]

both of you are stupid pieces of shit, die.

[vietarc]

When I put a brass rod and a steel rod, the potential is .8V, the current is around 1.2mA compare to a 1.5V battery of 225-300mA. This is because I bypass the load and use the meter itself. When I put two brass rod down, the potential is almost 0, but I haven't measure the current yet. Good call, let me do the current.

[samking12]

telluric currents of the earth ??? how do you know were the power is in the ground or is any were good?

[prototype9000]

ive donethe same experiment ihada slightly higher voltage when i put a copper pipe in a tree root and another copper pipe about 10 feet away it kept blowing led's couldnt read any current though strange i did however have toput the pipes atleast 4 feet into the ground

[dingusmungus]

Galvanic cells require two different metals to create a voltage differential. If both of your electrodes were copper something else was generating the voltage. You should post a video of the experiment.

[juliasix]

Neoartifact I have a better Idea

Zero point energy from the quantum wave function collapse.

[neoartifact]

I have an even better idea. The potential difference between the upper atmosphere and the earth is fairly high depending on how far up your aerial is, although you would get minimal current. A circuit that regulates this incoming potential difference and current would make the supply power usable. I wonder if you could create a 'gain' effect with some kind of circuit to use that potential to pull in more stray beta radiation and electrons? hmmmmmm

[boxa888]

hey so just add like another few wires and it should multiply right!!. good job. someone said they use to use the earth currents for telegraph, another guy i talked to said that the metal fences on farms that run for miles build up huge energy potentials.he went out to fix a break in the fence. he saw a guy get thrown back from touching the fence when its broken!! so they can be very powerful.

[ewmegoolies]

Gives me an idea how to repurpose depleted oil wells, Clad one of the shafts in copper and another in aluminum and string a wire between them. See what happens! Or dont clad them and see what you get. Maybe it would work between water wells too.

[uncleshorty]

Hey bill if you hook any Battery to the earth batt. and hook a light not an LED. it will burn and not run the battery down as long as it is hooked to the earth battery.tesla new this I bet! I just had to tell you what I learned from you aaaand stumbling across this phenomenom ! Thanx Again! Go Earth Power! Take what you need and the earth will replace it.

[uncleshorty]

Hey Bill I put copper plates in the ground 20ft. 1/2in. copper wire 24ft.long run south then I plundged a 3ft long 4in aluminum pipe into the earth only2ft.deep. I then placed a 12volt batt.between the pipe and the end of the wire.between the +batt and the pipe A sm. elec. motor the same between the -batt. and the copper wire. both motors spin. I then hooked up three 12v. lights to the battery still 12.5 v. Its like pumpig out a boat with a big hole in it the battery is a cap. equal reaction US

[istvan1966]

"earth battery"? - that incorrectly implies that there is energy coming out of the earth! What you have is simply a Galvanic potential caused by connecting together 2 dissimilar metals. The earth is simply acting as a conductor to complete the circuit.

[0WildBill0]

Not true at all! You should study this a little bit before making a statement like that. If you use two metals of the same kind, you still get a current. If you place the electrodes a mile apart, you get even more. How is this galvanic then? One of my electrodes in this video is not even metal. This is collecting the teluric current that are free in the earth. Do a google on teluric currents and you will see what I mean. We are now up to over 15 mA on our present designs.

Bill

[RHEAD100]

like Wild Bill said; You really need to do some research befor talking thigs you no not. Over half the telegraph lines in the world operated useing batters like this for over 50 years in the 1800s. The copper and iron plates used were insulated so they would not wear away. Could send telegraph messages over 400 miles.

[trailkeeper]

Has anyone experimented with adding and electrolyte, such as salt, to the water around the metal posts? Would it provide more power?

[uncleshorty]

Hello Bill I saw your vidio ran to the shed found a copper pipe and an aluminum pipe pounded them into the ground put the volt meter on it and an instint .75 volt 1 volt on the ac side. More pipe more power. Thanx!

[joecellwaterpower]

Looked at your Earth Battery Experiments and it looks very good, I am interested in the length of the wire that completes the circuit?

Also what is the galvanic action potential due to dissimilar metals ion movement, due to water,

what is the resistance in, Ohms.. Al..

[0WildBill0]

Length of the leads are, for this experiment was about 6' long. That is a little longer than the distance between the electrodes as shown here. The galvanic action plays a part, but not a large one. The results get better the more distance between the electrodes and, the drier the soil. I have never honestly measured the ohms at this point. I was more interested in upping the mA but, that is something I should do. Great idea. Thanks for watching. Latest results are: 1.9 vdc, 8.9 mA.

Bill

[josephdupont]

why wouldyou get any ac unless you have some local power lines..

[0WildBill0]

I don't think anyone knows at this point in our research. Nathan Stubblefield used coils with both primary and secondary which would not have worked unless it was ac, or pulsed dc. This was done in the early 1900's and there were no power grids anywhere in his area, and no doubt his state at that time. He heated his house and provided light using 50 arc lamps all powered by the ground, for free.

[oztronix]

"Magnesium firestarter block" ?!

English, please...

[0WildBill0]

That's what they are called in English. they are available in any camping supply store. Used to start fires by shaving off some of the magnesium into filings and striking a spark with the flint rod mounted on the side of it. Will start a fire in the rain. Cheap, local source of magnesium for these experiments. (about $4.00 USD) I have bought 2 more.

[cmatrix4761]

To give some scope:

AA batteries operate at 1.5 V (roughly equivalent to this system). NiCa AA batteries have about 650 mAh (at the lower end of the spectrum)of charge; a dead battery would have lsot about 50% of its charge, which is about 300 mAh -- that means it would take about 250 hours (10 days) to charge a dead AA battery with this apparatus.

But it is a nice find. We need to work more on improving this system's effiency so it can have practical application.

[0WildBill0]

Thanks for commenting.  this was videoed a little while back. Now, I am up to about 2 vdc and 6.4 mA. Still not much but I can light 2 leds for free as long as I want to. Just a begining here I know. a lot more work to be done.

Bill

[cmatrix4761]

That is a significant improvement; that would mean charging a dead AA should take about 35 hours or so (assuming I can still do math :p )

[brimstone033]

well done. damn, you beat me to it, hehe. I'm working on a similar video, but with a 10" zinc rod (south) and a 6" piece of 3/4" copper pipe (north), and a large capacitor. Although I can't get more than 1.08 volts, the LED is fairly bright. Its good to see more earth battery enthusiasts. Keep up the good work.

[overunitydotcom]

Hi Bill,

well done.

Maybe you can loan a scope and really see, if there is really an AC voltage overlayed onto the DC voltage ? Some meters also display something on the AC scale, when you apply DC voltage, so it could just be DC from the galvanic action.

Regards, Stefan.

[0WildBill0]

Stefan:

Thank you. I used to own a scope but that was long ago. I would be very interested to see what the freq. is. I will ask around.

Bill

[0WildBill0]

I made a mistake when speaking about the milliamps, I said millivolts which was not correct.

Bill
