There are numerous ways to go green these days. From sun power to wind power to water power. What if there was a simple way to get free energy from dirt? That's right, dirt right out of your back yard.

Energy is all around us. It exists in space and in common everyday objects. The trick is to figure out how to extract that energy for use. All of us have done the science experiment where we made a battery out of a lemon, or some concoction of various liquids.

Well, some enterprising experimenters have found a way to extract usable energy from soil. Of course, we all know that soil is made up of many different elements and organisms. But who would have thought that you could generate usable electricity from common everyday dirt?

Through a very simple to follow process, you can build your own dirt battery using common household items. This has to be the ultimate green energy project that anyone can do. It could also be the lowest cost method of creating free energy that has ever been discovered.

Imagine going out into your yard, digging up a modest amount of soil and then, following some easy step by step directions, start generating the lowest cost electricity ever. Imagine the possibilities, recharge your cell phone from dirt, power your lights with dirt, or if you are really imaginative run an appliance or two with nothing but a few odds and ends and dirt from your back yard. Think about how that would impact your electricity bill, it is easy to see how this amazing method of creating electricity could be a revolution in energy saving technology. One has to wonder why this process hasn't been more widely utilized up to now. One thing could be that it is hard to believe that such a common everyday substance is capable of creating energy.

This could be one of the easiest to build green energy projects ever discovered. This is a project anyone can complete successfully and start creating free energy in no time. It requires no special tools, no exotic chemicals or other substances, is entirely organic and safe to use. Unlike conventional batteries, the dirt battery contains no dangerous acids and doesn't give off potentially explosive gases. How much greener could you get?

Probably the largest expense in the whole project is obtaining suitable step by step directions for constructing the dirt battery. But, they are well worth the cost as they will show you how to make your dirt battery more efficient and how to get it to create substantially more energy than any of the free plans available. The energy you will be saving will more than pay for the plans in no time.
