Earth, air, metal and water make light. This earth battery produces 12V and was an experiment on increasing the amps with only a serial series and strong electrolyte. Next step is to make smaller and find the right parallel/serial series to produce grunt.

Researchers at the Cornell University have taken inspiration from nature and tried to imitate the swaying of tree branches. So what is the difference between natural swaying of trees and energy-harvesting tree created by Cornell University researchers? The flapping leaves developed in the laboratory generate energy which can be used by us.

Just when we thought tree only provided shade in the heat of the sun and the little detail of providing oxygen, we now learn that tree actually produce electrical energy. While it is true that you are not going to be able to cancel the electrical companies service just yet, there is enough available to power a remote sensor.

You have most likely heard of a potato battery, a lemon battery, an earth battery. Well here we present a plant battery powered LED light.

Back in the late 1800′s almost all of the telegraphs in the United States and Europe ran off “Earth Batteries” Here we take a fresh new look at the earth battery and how you can use this free energy to power your small electrical gadgets.

A mud battery is made with a zinc or graphite anode (the positive terminal), buried in mud, and a cathode (negative terminal) in the seawater, both connected by a copper wire. Here we take a look at how your backyard could supply you with energy to light your garden.
