Wiring in parallel adds up amps. I built an earth battery and wired it in parallel to a small solar panel. It worked great to up the amps!

Great viewing, I love the way your mind works!!

Thanks for sharing. You'll get more current if you increase the surface area. Several plates or a loose roll structure would have orders of magnitude higher surface area than a pipe without being overly huge. Maybe enough to be useful without additional electrolyte. Commercial batteries are typically made in a tight roll of thin sheets with a permeable insulating layer between the anode and cathode.

I have a Christmas light string that is hooked up to a small solar panel. I want to see the difference between what it draws compared to your earth battery. There are many days when the sun isn't shining and my lights don't light. It would be great to supplement with the earth battery. I'm a new subscriber to this channel and to your homesteading channel. This is great stuff, thank you!

Good start :-) Do you think urinating on dirt just above It would cause it to erode too quickly? Recycle :-) I think there are better designs out there. Tubes inside of tubes inside of tubes with dirt in between each one, multiple layers. I played with crystal cells before, fun. Keep up the good work.

I do believe I'll give this a try. Thanks.

I always thought crystal cell and earth battery are the same thing. But there is galvanic pairs and therma couples. Magnesium + carbon are the best and zinc + carbon is the cheapest for galvanic. Galvanic is better with acid. Neodymium + carbon are the best and aluminum + carbon are the cheapest for therma couples. It's usually much better to have many small cells, not few big ones.

My kinda experiments. :)

Awesome thanks 🙏🏻

I would consider crystal cell a form of earth batteries.

you have plenty of sun, you should get about 6 solar panels and a forklift battery, 1 controller and 1 or 2 decent size inverters , you will make plenty of juice .

I thought plan c might be a ground for an atmospheric electric attempt . Have you looked into the spark gap , transformer combination ive mentioned ? You have shown a dc potential before when moving the antenna . Could you not connect and disconnect via spark gap to create the changing magnetic field to go through the transformer. Thusly you have a motionless antenna in the air
