Electricity from trees

Dear Editor,
Once again I found your article
on electricity from trees very interesting.
Obviously Alaska has an almost
unlimited amount of trees. I have done my own experiments and
have gotten between .6 and .8 volts from trees. I have also done
some calculations based upon the time it took to charge capacitor
banks. Although these calculations would suggest that MAGCAP
is trying to present unrealistic potential for unsuspecting investors,
there may be a way to run some kind of pendulum motor from such
low voltages and in the process create usable voltages, which
over time could charge a batter.
Although I still question how
practical such project might be, it would be fun just to do it.
Most sincerely,
Joseph Rene DuPont
