iFred,
We used to run crystal radios from a bowl of water back in the late 60's. Same method using dissimilar metals. Use larger plates and your amps will come up. If you burry 2 sheets of metal in your back yard you'll be able to charge your Ni-Cads fairly quickly as long as the ground is moist. If the power drops off simply turn the sprinkler on.
Mount a microwave transformer about 3 ft from the power utility line... tons of free energy ( don't get caught... its not legal ). String a wire to the top of one of your towers down to the ground. Connect a one wire circuit at the bottom bingo free energy... ok not really free but its free to you... the power fluctuates but it will charge batteries... also if you wind a coil around a flourescent tube and connect it to the wire you have a lighted pole.
Energy is everywhere, just need to harness it!!
Have Fun

this will also work with RF energy from a nearby radio station, using a tuned circuit you can extract small amounts of energy through the antenna (you must be very close to the station antenna like 1/4 mile or less)
