Abstract

Earth battery is one of the alternative energy that produces the electricity. Basically the operation of the earth battery is the production of electrical energy from chemical reaction between two type of material of the electrode and the organic soil as the electrolyte medium. The objectives of this project are to determine the best distance between two electrodes and to investigate the effect of depth of the electrode in soil. Besides that, this project investigates the effect of moisture content on the soil and the duration of the wet soil battery. The type of material of electrode that used in this experiment are aluminium (Al) and copper (Cu). Other than that, the type of soil that used in this earth battery is organic soil. The arrangement of the battery cell is in cascade connection and the total cells in this experiment are 25 cells. The consideration of the distance between two electrode, the depth of electrode in the soil, the condition of the soil whether dry or wet and the measurement output value for every 12 hours for wet soil battery must take and controllable in order to get the output voltage and current. It can be concluded that the voltage value and current produced form earth battery are related with distance between two electrodes and depth of electrode in the soil.
