  Earth battery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Earth battery is composed of a pair of electrodes made of two dissimilar metals, such as iron and copper, which are buried in the soil or immersed in the sea.
The simplest earth batteries consist of conductive plates from different locations in the electropotential series, buried in the ground so that the soil acts as the electrolyte in a voltaic cell.
As the Earth currents flow from south to north, electrodes are positioned, beginning in the south and ending in the north, to increase the voltage at as large a distance as possible.

An earth battery is an early type of voltaic cell buried in the ground so that the soil acts as the electrolyte.
The earliest example of an earth battery is by Alexander Bain in 1841.

 Telluric current - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
(Lamont, 1862) These are induced by changes in the outer part of the Earth's magnetic field, which are usually caused by interactions between the solar wind and the ionosphere, and are taken establish the "indefinite and everlasting" magnetic field of Earth.
The electric potential on the Earth's surface can be measured at different points, enabling us to calculate the magnitudes and directions of the telluric currents and thence the Earth's conductance.
Both the telluric and magnetotelluric methods are used for exploring the structure beneath Earth's surface (such as in industrial prospecting).

 Battery History, Technology, Applications and Development
We think of a battery today as a source of portable power, but it is no exaggeration to say that the battery is one of the most important inventions in the history of mankind.
He retired in 1819 and died in 1827 and although the battery was a sensation in scientific circles and giving impetus to an intensification of scientific investigation and discovery throughout the nineteenth century, surprisingly Volta himself never participated in these opportunities.
Batteries based on the Seebeck effect were introduced by Clamond in 1874 and NASA in 1961.

 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The battery used on Bantam machines (with the exception of the Bushman Pastoral), is a Lucas six volt unit type PUZ5E/11.
The battery leaves the factory in a fully "dry-charged" condition, but during storage some of the charge may be lost.
Secondly, a quick check can be made for short-circuit to earth; the battery and bulb is a simple and quick test, but first remember to disconnect from the contact breaker plate.

 Sharing battery knowledge
Battery manufacturers are often too optimistic with their promises and only emphasize positive features.
Battery University is based on the book Batteries in a Portable World and will address such issues as the choice of battery chemistries, physical battery packs, charge and discharge methods, runtime concerns, the 'smart' battery, internal battery resistance, getting the most of your batteries and much more.
It addresses the use of the battery in the hands of the general public, far removed from protected lab environments of the manufacturer.

 Battery Council International: News, Events and Developments
Consumers, retailers and members of the battery industry collaborate to capture lead, plastic and even battery acid from spent batteries and reclaim them for use in new batteries.
Spent batteries go to permitted recycling facilities where, under strict environmental regulations, lead and plastic are reclaimed and reused to manufacture new lead batteries.
Battery Council International helped pass model lead-acid battery recycling laws that prohibit the disposal of spent lead-acid batteries and require batteries to be collected through a take-back program.

 Earth Energy and Vocal Radio - Nathan Stubblefield
The most notable earth battery patent, however, is one, which operated arc lamps by drawing "a constant electromotive force of commercial value" directly from the ground.
Earth static was presumed by Tesla to be a solar activity, which manifested in and across the ground.
In his preliminary experiments, the earth battery was used to energize an apparatus to which was connected a long horizontal aerial line.

 CHAPTER X -- APPENDIX AND NOTES
Suppose we have a battery of 100 cells, and the electro-motive force of each element of the battery be such as to produce a difference in tension between its plates equal to 1, the difference between its poles or end plates will be equal to 100.
The cable is, therefore, charged to the tension of the battery B, and the condenser to a tension equal to that of the point O---but owing to the high resistance at R the tensions are nearly the same.
Upon charging the cable with the battery at K a charge of electricity enters the cable, and a quantity sufficient to charge the condenser passes through the galvanometer, deflecting the mirror until the condenser is charged equal to the tension of the point O---when the mirror will return to zero.

 Cortina Starting Problems?
Battery - The battery is a lead type which is about 30% efficient when operating in ideal conditions.
When the current flow through the primary winding is interrupted by the distributor points (opening) a high voltage (upward of 30,000V) spark is produced in the secondary winding and is directed to the appropriate spark plug, via the distributor rotor and cap.
The temperature of the battery is likely to be lower than 10 deg.C and the oil will be about the consistency of thin honey.

THE Earth formed a giant battery that may have created the spark of life four billion years ago, according to a new theory.
Life on Earth may have begun 4.4 billion years ago when the planet formed a giant photo-electro-chemical cell, a light-powered battery, producing enough energy - in the form of a voltage - for living things to develop.

Also, chemical battery power storage and fuel-burning generators can't provide practical UPS in remote locations, due to their maintenance and fuel logistics needs.
Solar power for a space-craft, from photovoltaic panels, is very practical -- but not if chemical batteries are needed to supply power during extended periods when sunlight is blocked (e.g., by the earth): Satellite battery maintenance and replacement is not feasible, and their poor reliability is inconsistent with mission-critical applications.

The heat unleashed from the core of the earth would be unending.
The truth is that in retrospect it would not cool the earth at all as the hole is realitivly minute compared to the core of the earth and therefor removes only realitivly minute amounts of heat.
Thats a good point about the sludge and the tube thickness, but remember we have many potential uses for chemical compounds that involve simple high heat reactions, it's carbon chains that are the problems in polluting, that and radio active material, which there probably wont be much.
