Up to the 1930-ies it was common thing that telegraph and telephone used no batteries appart from the permanent...Earth Batteries. Thanks to people like Stubblefield (who's knowledge is carefully supressed nowadays). Stubblefield drew electricity from the ground with very simple devices and had his domain permanenty lit..
Some people interested in musical instruments know that when smal particles like sand are spread evenly on the vibrating surface, sometimes they form strange orderly paterns. Cladny (spell?) did many experiments with his Cladny plates. One of the most fascinating people ever lived: Buckminster Fuller made some experiments. He took a baloon and vibrated it with sound. He found a way to make some ink stick to the plces that vibrated most. When submerged the baloon in the ink and took it out he discovered curious net of lines. Later he constructed a spherical structure that used sollely these lines. The structore was extremely strong so weren't these lines the lines of force of the sphere? Later he superimposed the grid of lines over a globe of the earth. Big part of the intertwining "knots" of the net happened by chance to be on mysterious places where ancient civilisations had build, often enormous' constructs. Or such knots fell on strange lines of force (ley lines), or vortexes (entrance/exit of energy). Durring the time of Stubblefield, not only telegraph and telephone was using earth for battery, but also the communication signals were ...wireless. "Geomancian" plans suddenly came back in use then and the sender and receiver connected through fantastic distance using such lines. The only incoveniences were that the signal was too strong! Also, that some magnetic caprices were preventing communication sometimes. The strangest thing was that sometimes the signal received was day or more old! Or it was unidentified signal...
