    and i looked into it more, a backyard setup with secondhand materials is only powerful enough to light up an LED light...
    there's a whole science behind it on how to get the best voltage/amps out of 'earth batteries' as they call them; apparently they used to power the telegraph system entirely through 'earth batteries' back in the day.

    if you wanted to charge a car battery, you'd probably need to have like a whole acre of copper and galvanized iron/steel poles set up with wires running everywhere, and would somehow need to figure out how to increase the amps as to actually make a dent in a car battery. I'm not an electrician; perhaps amps and volts can't simply be added together to higher values.
