Abstract

Soil naturally contains energy conductive of microbial fuel cells that capable of generating dc supply voltage. Soil is used as the medium of conducting the small output voltage. The types of soil contain different rate of electrical resistivity and conductivity value. The selection of the clay soil is due to the low resistivity and high moisture content. Electrode made of metal is used to check the potential difference of the soil. The design of clay soil with electrode of anode and cathode which made from copper and aluminium respectively can produce low output voltage. The higher of electrical conductivity of metal may influence the choosing of electrode. The arrangements which are series, parallel and seriesparallel (cascade) are implementing in this project. The arrangement of dc supply of clay soil will help to optimize the output voltage. The optimization of the DC supply form clay soil will be check and test by connect small load of LED. The consideration of arrangement of cell, effect of clay soil in temperature, the pH value of clay soil, and arrangement of circuit of the cell must take in order to get the value of output voltage. The output voltage should be increase based on the value of earth battery cell can be constructing in this case study.
