I'm trying this tomorrow. I don't expect it to do much, but a nail and some pipe? What kind of current can you get out of it? How does the current and the voltage vary as you put more nails into the tree and pipes in the ground? What about different kinds of trees?

If you can get 1.2 volts, what if you connect 10 trees in a series?

Maybe I should break out the old physics book (wikipedia) to brush up on some basics first.
