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.

Thanks for sharing your advice!

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!!

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!

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

One tip; sand the magnesium rod to roughen it up, so the alum will stick to it better. Was just doing a single carbon block filter size cell, and didn't sand the magnesium rod, and the alum came off in some spots. My best!

Thanks for the advice. The ground here is highly conductive, can use the ground in the circuit of one of my oscillators, had a wire running through the air to a ground about 150 feet away and used the earth between the coil and the base, or the collector, or the emitter, worked the same as a piece of wire. Should have made a video of that one. @@doubleMinnovations

Sounds like you have something interesting going. Maybe you could work it into a video...

Have experimented for many years on all kind of stuff. have videos up on my channel. For the last year have slowed up, but do a little from time to time. Don't do math or use calculations, just trial and a lot of error. Had to learn it on my own. Sounds like a very long cell would get the amperage up. Definitely worth experimenting with.Be safe. @@doubleMinnovations

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 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.

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

I would consider crystal cell a form of earth batteries.

Yes, I think they probably are.

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 .
