@clint3142 ------I explained about the solar cell in the video if you listen. The plant battery has actually worked out quite well and is still powering my "Mosquito Light" . I use it as a watering indicator for the plant. When the Leds get dim then it is time to water the plant. I was very surprised at the success of this experiment. The plant didn't die nor did the metals completely dissolve right away. I may do a video on it.
@stevenchiverton ----The PNP is a 2N3906. It is a circuit diagram label error. There is a annotation for the error in the video but thanks for bringing that up.
Just like a spinning rotor seems to go backwards as it reaches a multiple of the camera's frame rate, so can the brightness patches move in your plant battery. Interesting analysis.
Brilliant, man! I hope that oscillator helps your philly grow.
@CosmicGnarler -----This crazy plant is growing like a weed. Maybe it is some kind of weed?? The "battery" part of it's world doesn't bother it at all---it likes it.
lidmotor, Another fine video, and thanks for including the diagram, got to build it!
I was wondering id you could make multiplr batteries in series in the same pot for additional Philowatts, or larger copper/magnesium electrodes for more current.
You could, pardon the expression, daisy chain the thing!
@jackscholze ---Hi Jack. PHILOWATTS!!!! I need more Philowatts!!!!! Maybe I will start an indoor garden and run my house on this?? This is a fun one. This new circuit was a spin off and I found out today that it might be the real find here.
@harrisonbee ---I have been watching that thread for some time. There is much good information there. These earth batteries, I found out, are not a new idea. The old telegraph systems used them. Look up "microdial fuel cell" (MFCs). What is old is new again. It is an emerging science.
@jccooluser ------This idea will wok in just plain dirt but what we are studying is the interaction of the plant with the battery. It is very interesting. The plant seems to like it.
nice clip .. i like it .. thanks for sharing

Lid, maybe you now have a Bionic plant of some sort. Glad to see it is still ok. Really interesting.

Is there a way to increase the Amps? Great video once again.

@tyrodogg ---Add more plant batteries in parallel OR---increase the surface area of the electrodes.

@Lidmotor the 2n3904 you have in the circiut is an npn not a pnp and the mpsa06 is allso an npn you have errors in your schematic

@jackscholze Yes you can increase the Philowatts by adding more Phillys in series, just like a regular galvanic battery.

looks much like the pendulum circuit.

sweet there is a rather long thread at overunity on earth batterys, wonder if it's the plant or the soil and metals?
