An earth battery is a pair of electrodes made of two dissimilar metals, such as iron and copper, which are buried in the soil or immersed in the sea. Earth batteries act as water-activated batteries. If the plates are sufficiently far apart, they can tap telluric currents. Earth batteries are sometimes referred to as telluric power. One of the earliest examples of an earth battery was built by in 1841 in order to drive a —a device that transforms the flow or changes in pressure of a into.
