@Lidmotor - I'll definitely check that one out... !
@All - Some experiments today with the very common fence wire have resulted in a great method to produce power with the Earth. About 0.750V and 200uA per piece stuck in the ground, but, more amperage with more wire. Considering it's easier to find large amounts of common fencing, all looks good for scaling up.
Especially because it works as NickZ indicated with his copper rod experiment - just 1 piece of copper is needed. Add to that, my Pac-Man themed water based multi-oscillator of some time back, where 1 piece of galv steel was used, but individual copper pieces per oscillator. There may be a limit, but so far, a number of oscillators to the same piece of copper in the ground work as well as just one. Straight through loadings may be different, but oscillators need only the one piece![Smile](http://www.energeticforum.com/core/images/smilies/smile.png)
