Free energy from Earth

[Etherichead]

I saw a add 15 years ago in a magazine called "Exotic Research", this is where I was first captivated by the Cole/Gray motor, and ordered Lindemanns book "Cold Energy" been stricken every since, does anyone remember the adds claiming unlimited amperage, power your house, etc. from a 10' X 10' section of earth? I never bought the plans for $30, but I did some experiments, pounded a copper rod and a galvanized rod into earth, got a steady .9v, I separated the rods by different distances up to 100', got the same .9v, I pounded multiple series, copper connected to galv, over and over to see if it would step up, got .9v, I pounded several rods hooked in parallel, got .9v, I burried a 2'X2' sheet of copper, and a 2'X2' sheet of galv. and got .9v, LOL, Is there any validity to the claim that one can use energy from the earth?

Yes there is validity about earth power but certainly not the plans you mention.
As far as I can understand researching for "free energy" its a form of Art in itself
which takes too much time , too much study and far more experimenting to achieve something really meaningfull.
Here, I am not saying I personally managed to get more energy from the Earth as you got, but there is one or some ways to do it.
I don`t know if you read about Nathan Stubblefield. see here:
Stubblefield
Now this person really found out 'one way' to collect power from the Earth.
Can we do the same ? I don`t know.

Thanks Peculian, very informative article, so that answers one question, it can be done, just not how I was trying, I have heard of phones of old using earth energy to operate, looks like Tesla and others were interested too!

Hi Etherichead
A couple of years ago I was working on earth batteries as well...if you are interested. Look up...

It strikes me that this is a galvanic battery, using dissimilar metals
and relying on the acidity or alkalinity of the damp soil.

I think tha tthe reaosn why they would not parallel up is because the
cells are not separate. All the electrodes are in one cell.

Did you connect a resistor across these rods and measure the current?

It's been a trouble of mine too and this topic is immensely interesting - just how to connect same source cells for increased power ?!
Several methods have been personally tried. If I use blocking oscillators, the outputs will charge caps fine, to around 3V, but their outputs don't want to multiply even with diodes. Also, connect anything of a load and of course the caps lose their charge...which either necessitates supercaps and long waits, or tiny caps and little flow.
Seperating the electrodes in buckets would work, with 1 connection from each going into the actual ground...but it's a lot of buckets when we wish to power household light bulbs (even with an inverter).
I keep thinking there must be an obvious way to chain them up !


Some fundamentals. Either 1 Positive electrode or 1 Negative electrode can be used without detriment. There is no need to double up when connecting to the Earth. A setup outside in our backyard at the moment, uses just 1 copper piece but 24 galvanised steel rods. A blocking oscillator (Joule Thief with 100uF front end capacitor and 1Meg resistor) will run from every one of them, all having their Positive connection to the same copper rod. Galv steel is cheaper than copper, hence the 1 Positive electrode in my setup.
The deeper the electrode into the ground, the more amperage and the better the long term running.
At approx 2ft length, a chain link fence rod will provide approx 0.7V and 0.3mA in average conditions....I live in OK, we have had the worst drought in forever long and the setup is still running after months, producing 0.6V and 50uA per connection.
A good rain soaking and the levels jump back up in any case, a couple of mA per connection being available.
Any connection should go in the ground and stay there, without being knocked or wobbled. As soon as the ground becomes loose around any electrode, the output drops off significantly. Perhaps an obvious but easily overlooked.

Many people scratch their heads wondering what can be done with such miniscule power.
Well, allow me to show a demonstration. This short video solves a common problem for micro R/C helicopters that are infra-red controlled...they don't work outside in the day and at night we can't see to land and takeoff anywhere. This HeliPad idea is intended to become a value for money product in the near future and flashes 4 lights using only Earth energy to do so:

Interesting setup you have there Slider !
Congrats. thanks for sharing with us all the useful info here.

Sorry, can I ask some quick questions if you have a moment.....


----------------------

Are you saying this scales up.. ie 300 2ft negative electrodes giving approx 0.7V @ 0.3mA each would generate 189W combined? If so...

When you say "the deeper the electrode", do you mean the copper one or all of them?

Is there a rough multiplier for how depth improves power?

Does spacing matter?

Does surface area of the electrodes matter?

Do they have to be of different metals or can they all be copper?

----------------------

Thanks, this is very interesting.

Awsome input guys, thank you kindly, we know the earth is full of energy, like the Van de Graf generator for example, I think that a way to capitolize on this inexaustable source is to isolate the input via a non-conductive (or semi-conductive?) portion to the link, like how the Van de Graph has its collector on top isolated by non-conductive connection, the electrons are trapped, until discharged, the Van de Graf is like a capacitor right? Loaded by free electrons in ground, Capacitors are most likely the key, isolated by diodes? A previous post mentioned failure to multiply via cascade diodes. Almost like we need to make a pond for the ocean of free energy to fill, and a dam to utilize small amounts effectivly. Thanks for all the leads, links, and info, this is a good subject

Nikola Tesla perfected harnessing electrical power on the Earth.

His biography written in 1944 after his death explained thoroughly by the author.
Prodigal_Genius_-_Biography_of_Nikola_Tesla.pdf

You can buy it from Amazon.com too.

Nikola Tesla understood the property of harmonic oscillation in nature, the resonance, both mechanical and electrical world.

Tesla did use resonance circuit which was connected into the ground. He knew Earth is electrically charged - either negative or positive - and shaking the the charge back and forth with his device, he could get huge amount of electricity on the ground and send it to remote distant by through air. Wireless power transmission.

The author of the book compared it to water in the bathtub. Moving the water back and forth at right moment creates stationary wave of water that eventually get out of the bathtub.

When J.P Morgan found it he stopped funding Nikola Tesla. After that Nokola Tesla had enough money an resources to carry on his world-wide wireless power grid using Earth. It's very sad history.

"THE PROBLEM OF INCREASING HUMAN ENERGY WITH SPECIAL REFERENCES TO THE HARNESSING OF THE SUN'S ENERGY BY NIKOLA TESLA" is good enough what the great human was going to do. I have one version of the article here.
