Someone had invented an outside light that utilized this. It was patented, the guy sold the patent, it was buried. I could not refind the articles about this patent.
www.rexresearch.com...
The most notable earth battery patent is one which operated arc lamps by drawing "a constant electromotive force of commercial value" directly from the ground. In addition to this remarkable claim, a vocal radio broadcast system... through the ground.
A bit late as usual

I have read a few times over the years about finds made in pyramids of tubes [ lights ] being found and when they removed them they stopped working
If you place copper chunks in your garden, it draws more energy through the soils, real pennies will do. Plants like that extra energy boost.

My idea of free electricity these days is rigging the meter
I have been looking into this Mudflood stuff over the last few months and was actually thinking about a thread when this came up on the search button . the closest i get to doing stuff like this is using copper wire to keep the slugs away from my flowers

my question - for all these " ancient electricity" claims - what did they use electricity for ?????????????
Yup. A big problem since we've found nothing that old that actually runs on electricity. I'm not actually deriding the idea that there was some sort of energy system, but it had to have been for something far different than we can envision today. And all we have is a few spires. No one has actually made it work. Unless there is a working theory behind all this, well, it's great to speculate anyway.
Metal was precious in the old days, any metal found was like finding treasure, it could be traded for food or even beer or wine. They melted everything they could find to make things, brass was formed from metals. Any iron objects would have been melted down to make swords or tools. If a modern looking tool from five thousand years was found, someone would just think someone had lost it while digging recently. If everyone expects all old stuff to look like it was three thousand years ago, they will not recognize other cultures creation. Just like today, there were more inteligent and advanced parts of societies and some people were way ahead of others in creating things.

I'm love the idea, but the truth is that nobody has found any evidence of what the electricity might be used for, how it might be stored, or even how it might be gotten from a to b. There are No cables, no batteries, no moters, no nothing. We haven't even found the glass from a light fitting.
We've found post holes from houses that are older than the great pyramids, and wooden ritual circles older than stone henge. But no electricity pilons.
Those ancient sites mentioned in the video. They don't show evidence that heavy ma ninety was ever used there. No holes to boot equipment down. No ducts for high voltage cables. No scratch marks on the floors from generators. And no evidence of the tools needed to maintain them. Absolutely nothing at all.
