According to the article the material can replate itself?

I am afraid. It would have to work with identical metals to make sure the
energy is not of chemical origin.

mantle. In September of 1862, an experiment to specifically address Earth
currents was carried out in the Munich Alps (Lamont, 1862). The currents
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. Utilization of these electromagnetic effects has been reported
in the United States as far back as 1859. United States telegraph lines
were operated by such natural induced currents (during geomagnetic
disturbances). Tellurics also result from thunderstorms. Telluric currents
flow in the surface layers of the 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. Telluric currents will move between each half of
the terrestrial globe at all times. Telluric curren!

telluric currents are of the order of 0.2 to 1000 volts per metre.
(Krasnogorskaja and Remizov (1975); Vanjan (1975)). At any location, the
current density is a direct function of the interhemispheric currents and
their potential gradients. It has been estimated that telluric currents
overall during twelve hours in one hemisphere are in range of 100 to 1000
amperes. This intensity of telluric currents is sufficient to drive the air
movements that create atmospheric electricity, from the global fair weather
charge accumulator to thunderstorm bases."

Alexander Bain in 1841 in order to drive a prime mover. Bain buried plates
of zinc and copper in the ground about one meter apart and used the

Gauss, who had researched the Earth's magnetic field, and Karl A. von
Steinheil, who built one of the first electric clocks and developed the
idea of an "Earth return" or "ground return", had previously investigated
such devices. Lord Kelvin developed a "sea battery" in the latter end of
the 1800s."

electric clocks (with several improvements in the art of Earth batteries).
Another early patent was obtained by Emil Jahr U.S. Patent 690151 Method
of utilizing electrical Earth currents). In 1875, James C. Bryan received
U.S. Patent 160152 for his Earth Battery. In 1885, George Dieckmann,
received US patent U.S. Patent 329724 for his Electric Earth battery. In
1898, Nathan Stubblefield received U.S. Patent 600457 for his electrolytic
coil battery, which was a combination of an earth battery and a solenoid.
The Earth battery, in general, generated power for early telegraph
transmissions and formed part of a tuned circuit that amplified the
signalling voltage over long distances."
