Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80683328 [link to tabitarezaire.com (secure)] It's possible the ancient Egyptians made crude portable galvanic batteries. I know the Romans used electricity in their temples but only a tiny bit, they didn't really pursue it. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78947494 [link to youtu.be (secure)] I'm no electrician, but internet research tells me you need 4-5 volts to charge a cellphone.

I'm just a non-electrician amateur but it's sounding to me like a person living in his vehicle could have enough power to charge electronic devices only using DIY dirt or sand batteries that are rejuvenated by watering. Instead of draining your car battery (translating gasoline into electricity) or using expensive deep cycle batteries which must be recharged from time to time, you just pour water on your dirt battery. Watering your battery for almost limitless energy sounds good to me! Am I off base here?? |

But maybe you could incorporate galvanic into your setup also for more effectiveness. Making a simple crystal radio is evidence that there is energy to be harvested from the ‘ether’. The quality/substance of the antennae, resonance capacitors and diodes all affect the power output. Saltwater batteries are cool too. I think it’s similar to the earth battery |

You could slowly charge a capacitor Quoting: Anonymous Coward 53549423 It's no new secret that two different metals exchange ions in an electrolyte. Is it economical? Not really.. Volts = watts/amps Can you tell me the maximum amount of voltage that still isn't realistic to charge a cellphone? I'm confused. |

If i remember correctly from my electrical courses it only takes 0.1 amps to kill you.

The guy measuring 175 volts...isn't there a lot of potential amperage there? |
