Can you plot this over a whole month to see a bigger picture?

I doubt that the red meter is capable of such accuracy.

Hope to read more about it when you get to the point of disclosure.
Nice to hear from someone interested in the planet scale
it is refreshing break from the bench.

One of the conventional theories is a magnetic flux oscillation as the tide.
In this Nasa video a conventional science
book illustration depicts the result of the oscillation is a perpendicular
loop (actually many loops) that produce ions and the waves are the horizontal charge
carrier a sine motion and the released at the shoreline. Come back to the ions later.

We can approach altitude (sea level) and tide relationship using equipotential lines.

the voltage difference derived at 3:39 leaving the vortex flow together with the
ocean sine wave / standing waves as the tide rolls in and out leaving free ions to harvest.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Kai,

Have you considered galvantic corrosion as the potential source?

PS: Something else I wanted to ask. Why is the voltmeter in series with the load?

PPS: Sorry, but now that I'm thinking about your setup; you attach the test lead clips to the battery terminals in the temperature meter where normally the AAA battery is inserted. So it is unknown if the temperature meter is powered properly, if at all. If the temperature meter depends on a thermocouple for its sensor, the thermocouple could be supplying a potential to your circuit.

Hello Kai,

A voltmeter is a high impedance instrument. As such, it passes very little current; next to nothing. Read over the operator instructions and manual for your voltmeter or any similar one found on the web.

Also, what does "ca" 400 mV of "ca" 800-900 mV mean? What does ca stand for?

Regards,

bi

It appears the OP has deleted his post to which I had replied above. And also one other of his posts. Hope he's not mad.

Edit: update. OP has deleted all of his posts.

Here is a copy/paste of the first two of his posts:

I think it is rude, to say the least, when members just delete messages leaving those who replied hanging and their posts without context. I've been pleased that quoting text in a reply message saves it from the other guy's delete button.

Obviously Aaron can delete this whole thread, although I hope he doesn't. In fact, if he can, it would be beneficial to restore Kai's thumbnails.

Regards,

bi

Edit: it appears this is SOP for String Theory. He's deleted all 6 of the threads which he has started.

I have lit led's with less then a volt with Joule Thief's. Give that a try and see if you get better results.
