"Interestingly, while conventional wisdom would seem to indicate that the tree draws much of its energy from photosynthesis via its leaves, the voltage output actually increases to 1.2-1.3 volts in the winter after the leaves have fallen."
Static charge accumulator? Cold dry air across a water filled fractal branch array... Could be a nice explanation why trees grow upwards like crystal formations and are typically the worst thing to stand by in a lightning storm. -john -----Original Message----- From: Horace Heffner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 21, 2005 3:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Organic Electricity On Dec 21, 2005, at 9:30 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > http://www.automotive.com/features/90/auto-news/17333/index.html > > "MagCap Engineering, LLC Announces 'Free' Unlimited Energy Source > Developed That Draws Power from the Environment > CANTON, Mass., Dec. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- An alternative electric > power generating system that draws energy from a seemingly unlikely > yet abundant, eminently renewable and virtually free power source > has been submitted for patenting by MagCap Engineering, LLC, > Canton, Mass., in collaboration with Gordon W.

These people never heard of cathodic protection systems? You can just bet the ground interface is not aluminum. The energy providing consumable here is probably aluminum. Aluminum is a non-organic BTW.
