Directory of technologies and resources relating to the generation of electricity from earth (dirt, with plants, minerals, moisture, earth's magnetic field, etc.)
An earth battery is an early type of voltaic cell buried in the ground so that the soil acts as the electrolyte. The electrodes are made of two dissimilar metals such as iron and copper.
The Earth Battery technology is a century and a half old, and provided a significant portion of power during the 1800s.

None known. But it would seem that there is enough history, evidence, engineering, and ecological impetus to warrant a serious look at the possibility of a company pursuing at least the development of kits for sale, and eventually completed products for installation for modern, practical power generation.
Potted Plant Battery Powers Calculator
In the following video, a guy puts electrodes into the dirt of two potted plants, in series, and then shows voltage from the two outside leads. He then hooks those two leads up to a small calculator and shows the calculator working.

Two stakes into the ground, 60 feet apart produce 1.0 Volt
In the following video, a piece of galvanized pipe (angle iron) is driven into the ground a foot or two. A piece of telephone wire is strung from it to a second electrode 60 feet away. Supposedly having a tree between the electrodes improves current flow. Other electrode consists of 1/2-inch copper pipe. The orientation is running north and south, with the copper north. The copper electrode is driven deeper, to around 2.5 feet. The telephone wire is not connected to the copper pipe itself directly, but is hooked to one electrode of the multimeter. The other lead of the multimeter is hooked to the top of the copper pipe. The meter reads 1.016 Volts.

Magnesium block and carbon rod; powers LED
In the following video, WildBill describes how he built an earth battery and demonstrates its operation. Items used: Carbon rod 17" long by 1" diameter; magnesium firestarter block 1" x 1/2" x 3" long; Red LED rated at 1.7 volts DC, 20 mA; 1 small capacitor; 2 jumper wires. The magnesium block is situated on the south side, in the ground about 2.5 inches. The carbon rod is sunk about 11" in the earth. Volt meter reads 1.59 Volts DC (?).

Bedini "battery" can run on mountain dew - John Bedini demonstrated, step-by-step, how even novices can make an ion-transferring crystal power cell that lights up L.E.D.s (light-emitting diodes) bright enough to read by. The cell has been described as an electrical power source that just won't quit. All you need to do to keep it working is to occasionally top it up with water. (Changing Power; August 23, 2011)

- Soil Powered Lamp: A Fresh Take on “Dirty Energy” - Dutch designer Marieke Strap’s Soil Lamp uses conductive plates made from copper and zinc buried within the soil to provide constant and (nearly) eternal light for an LED bulb. Maintaining a Soil Lamp is as simple as watering a plant - just feed it a splash of water every now and then to keep the energy flowing. (Inhabitat; March 11, 2009)
