my crude calculations show a potential
of 5.108832 kilowatt hours per year using 100 trees.
Not much power to be sure.

  • your right.. you could make a mechanical device to do this continually.

    essentially a drum with contacts on it. taking inputs from many trees. then combining them to a master capacitor and a battery. but how much energy would it take to turn the motor? some solar motors with a rubber band belt take little power.. but the amount of power from trees appears to be limited from my little experiments.

    next time... i there is a next time i will make sure all the metal is the same .

  • Essentially if you find a good acidic plant, tape a few dozen of them and ground to earth you could then produce a voltage efficient enough to run LED lighting or low pressure fan powered circulation systems.

    Best of all you could keep the plants alive and use them year round in the proper climate. Keep everything nice and moist with highly conductive well water and you could probably eliminate grid power completely from your home if you switched to LED's.

  • @JonDeth I wish.. have you tried anything of this nature?

    Try it first and then get back to us.. But thanks for your thoughts.

  • hi my house is powered by the forest in my backyard

  • lets hook a bunch of trees in series!! more voltage!!

  • works the same with a copper spike in the ground

  • Voltage is useless... how many amps does that tree put out?

  • I take it the current is so weak? you can run a clock off nails in a potato they sell those

  • the matrix, harvesting souls for electricity, not planning humans i hope(n/a),you are your harvest I hope though, 

  • Maybe this is the future! :-)

  • yeah, tax that tree some more. why not tap a cow?

  • 1000 uF is the same as 1m farad
