Maybe in the soil the good conductive metal show this process, in consideration humidity of the soil too.

In the diode question thread I notice that with 4 Ge high quality diodes in serie can amplify big. Maybe this don't have relation with this theme, but... sorry, I have strange ways of seeing things. I save the old parts of the experiment, you can see below the schematic.

Hi Esteban,
What was the reason why you built this battery? Was it part of an experiment different than simply building a battery?

Best wishes,
