Earth Battery Joule Thief Experiments

This is just a quick video of my new earth battery set-up. I am using the same 2 carbon rods but this time, on the minus side, I am using a large block of magnesium. (5 pounds) The carbon is to the north (meridian) and the mag. is to the south. (Not magnetic north and south) A quick test with the meter showed 1.8 volts dc output which will get better over time as my last one did. I don't have a mA reading yet but I will put one in the next video. I am running the led (28,000 MCD) with a standard joule thief circuit using the 3904 transistor, a 1k ohm resistor and a ferrite bead instead of a toroid. I just wanted to get this out fast to show that free energy is available from the earth. Next I will add supercaps and see how many leds I can light. To those that say that this is just galvanic, well, do a little research on Nathan Stubblefield. More info on Overunitydotcom in the joule thief topic.

Great work Pirate!!!!!

Am I understanding correctly that your Earth battery is just Carbon rods and magnesium buried in the ground?? At what depth?? Really interesting that you tried copper as both electodes, and still got power. I agree with your conclusions that galvanic action is therefore an unlikely cause of the power...but im no expert!!! Really want to try this earth battery thingy myself as i already have the typical joule thief in action. Thanks for all the inspiration mate.

Thank you.  Check out my latest video where I light 4 superbright leds to full brightness. These are 10mm, 28,000 MCD leds. Do a google on earth batteries. Read the wiki page as there are good explanations for a lot of questions. The alignment is critical and the depth is also a factor as the electrodes relate to each other. The depth is determined by the magnetic dip angle for your area, and they are aligned on the north/south meridian. (Not mag. north)

Great video!

There is potential in this for sure, and what did you say, that the electrodes gave more voltage after being used?

Btw, can carbon rods be the common welding rods used in SMAW welding? Thanks!

[Pirate88179]

Thank you. I used carbon rods from a welding supply house that was local to me. These are called gouging rods. This is 1" in dia. by 18" long and I cut it into two 9" pieces. But now, with my large magnesium block, I may need more carbon on the + side.

My experience from a while back was, that once you put these into the ground, and either use them, or not, the potential goes up on both the mA's and the volts over time. Nathan Stubblefield said the same thing back in the late 1800's. Bill

Well, at least that's a good reason to believe that this isn't the common type of chemical reaction that we are used to.

Gotta search through our garage now.... Bye

I have always been told that galvanic action will only yield 1.5 volts. In the very beginning of my research into this, I did a test (see overunitydotcom earth battery topic) using 2 pieces of copper pipe. 2 metals not dissimilar but the same. I placed them iin the n/s position and got volts and mA's. This told me it is NOT galvanic. I am no scientist but, there is something here.

Jonny:

Thank you. In my earlier earth battery experiments I used supercaps. This is where I first learned about them. You are correct in that I can charge a 3,000F cap and then probably run anything we want to run from it. I will be moving toward that in the near future. Thanks for your support and all of the things I have learned from your work.

Hi Bill.Thanks for showing us this experiment.I wonder if you changed your joule thief into charge mode and charged up a supercap,you may be able to run your Bedini.Lidmotor has run on supercaps at low voltage so may be it's worth a try.Your experiment shows how easy it is to exploit something which is all around us and it certainly warrants further study.Regards jonnydavro

I respect your comments and will do some reading to inform myself and perhaps even ask a question or two. Have you scoped your JT because it doesn't seem right? The "SEC Exciter" runs at about 10 MHz in comparison.

[Pirate88179]

See? You don't get it. There is NO pure DC on the earth battery. It comes from the ground as pulsed DC. This is BEFORE I attach the joule thief circuit. Please read something about earth batteries before commenting further. You are going to confuse others. Thank you.
