i dont think a photo of mine would be much help.
as it is pieced together out of 'stuff', looks like a mess....

best way to describe this, is just straighten a bunch of paperclips,(or any other soft iron) and stick them in the ground, slightly spaced out from one another. and connect the top ends together.

this is your negative lead.

then a copper wire/pipe/sheet as the positive lead.

the more 'probes' you have from the negative, the more current is captured.

my experimentation with multiple copper (positive) leads did not show any increase,

@ kamax,

I can see you have come up against the "capacitive" effect which you are able to drain off all the "energy" within your cell.

I have seen this with my own setups here, you are not alone bro.

This is how I think what is occurring.

When the earth cell has no load, it accumulates its energy (it is very small), then the cell is charged, and I think more and more this occurs with telleric earth currents, and Galvanic action as well.

I you stick a tiny load (a LED) across the cell, the cell discharges its energy, the LED fades, then goes out. The cell is now disconnected because it has no energy, it then begins to refill, when it has reached a threshold, it begins to discharge once again.
The lower the resistance placed across the cell, the faster it will recharge and discharge, but when a resistance is too great, the process stops, as the energy cannot replenish the cell quickly enough.

If you keep the same test LED and move it to a physically larger earth cell, you will see it will light up brighter, and probably it will stay on.

I make new cells with different copper size. The first is with a very small copper pipe but it stop working after some minutes, the led blink always more slow and stop. If i open/close the circuit the led restart to blink but slow down again.

And here is another version with a bigger copper pipe into. The led blink faster and run for ~2h now without any slow down:

In each setup it works only with one cell

You are doing excellent work with your experimental EER cells, keep going, it's worth it.

I will take a look at your videos shortly, it was washing day for me, so half the day had house chores, lol.

Jeanna, I have managed to see a couple of your videos, the NS cell setup and the scope, this is very good stuff.
Well done.

I think I fixed a dog barking problem next door, had to prop some roofing iron sheets, against the fence, the dog can't see me now, so he don't bark. GOOD.
It would be better if the thing went away, triple good then.

Next announcement is a biggie, another breakthrew.

@ ALL

Making a SERIES EER earth cell bank.

OK I have been thinking, is it possible to connect a BANK of EER cells up to another BANK of EER cells.

What is going to happen if I attempt to connect two completly different EER Banks together, to make a bigger output.
Will I get sparks, will the voltage get higher, or lower, or would the EER banks just stop working.

Theres only one way to find out, DO IT.

So after I took the washing in, (I fold it and put it away Jeanna, but I'm highly allergic to the hot clothes iron, only exception is a soldering iron), like a good bloke  , I then went outside and made a series electrical EER Bank connection.

Gess what, no sparks, then looking at my meter, whackkkkkoooooo, the voltage rose up toooooooo     9 volts

The   7 series copper cells puts out 2.46 volts DC
The 12 series ally cells puts out 6.54v DC

Together they put out 9.12 volts DC

1st video = Trimmed plastic bags around the 12 series Ally cells, showing voltage 6.54 on my DMM

2nd video = shows the combined EER Banks = 9.12 volts

jim

dont be afraid of sparks.

sparks from an earth battery is never a bad thing.

thats a sign of POWER.

i can only hope to have sparks one day....

good work on 9V

now what you do is make 50 of those 9v set-ups, and connect them in parallel !!!!

@ Jaenna,

Hold onto your straw hat, I will hook up a scope in a few minutes and we shall see the waveforms, but first I will have to hook up a extension lead.

Wow you guys kept busy after I turned in last night.
@jim,
That is a great test you did.
I didn't look at all the videos yet, but I think you did not do scope shots.
I would like to see them.
Even if you think they are garbled.
Maybe someone else has the same garble?
Or what if it is very unusual and tells us something?
So, please do a scope shot and upload one a day for the days you are home.

You can leave the probes ready to clip on and turn the scope on taks a pic and that is it.

@DreamTB, Good info.
Sorry about the worm farm.

@Sm0ky2
That is interesting.
I am glad for the experimentation.
I got a couple of ideas from it, thanks.

I took a bunch of scope shots this morning.
And one movie.
I hope you aren't all movied out.
It is very short because I left it in avi format so you don't need to use quicktime. I think you can just watch it?
Please let me know.
It is hard to make it short enough on my 5Mpx camera without compression. So here it is.
1 second short:

jeanna

I never get movied out  just make em a little longer than half a second ha ha.

@DreamTB,
same here, about the worm farm, mabe they need a bigger shock lol.

jim

OK All.
Here are the tiny weiny videos

This one shows the voltage and the waveforms
At the moment I have a LED being lit up by 9 volts and it is bright, but not very bright, but it is distorting the waveform.

The small scope screen displays the Series connected EER bank.
The Right scope screen displays the 8 inch round EER unit.

Remember there is a LED on this circuit

jim

Last one for the night, Video 3

I have removed the LED off the series EER cells.

Both scopes now show identical waveforms.

Hi, i just have done a new cell with cement in a empty candle. It looks like i get more power from this that from earth. But more the cement become dry, less mA i get. The cement is a fast one, it need only 2min to be hard, the pictures and the video are taken only some minutes after.
