==Patents==
The United States Patent office has a division classification for geophysical electrical measuring devices of the telluric type [class 324/349] (including magneto-telluric types [class 324/350]). Other patents have utilized the earth's current outside this classification, also.
==In Fiction==
The plot of the novel [[Foucault's Pendulum]] by [[Umberto Eco]] revolves search of 'Ombilicus Mundi' (Latin: The Bellybutton of the World), the mystic 'Center of The Earth' which is supposed to be a certain point from were a person could control the energies and shapes of the earth thus reforming it at will. The novel takes this even further by suggesting that monuments like the [[Eiffel Tower]] are nothing more than giant anteannaes to catalyze these energies.
