PLEASE READ THIS-MAJOR BREAK THRU FROM BILL MEHESS

Hi Bill,
nice work, we would all love to know what's in that paint ? I am guessing that it is some type of marine antifouling that contains metals.
Have you managed to run an LED yet ?

Connect a Joule thief to a stack of plates?

As always here be the voice of truth whether you like it or not.  Mags may say I'm a hater, I'm not, I just say it how it is and won't tell you its a cupcake in your hand when it's more than evident your holding a turd.

The test pilots mantra should well be that of the free energy experimenter "dont fly higher than you are willing to fall" which equates to "if you can't take anything but back patting then don't start testing in the first place".

Anyway, if you look at those videos it is VERY clear that a 'fuel' is being expended.  You dont need special analyzers and all sorts of gizmos to examine the plate surface, only the eyes in your head. 
1)  When the plates are still in the water the voltage falls.  This equates to some sort of 'fuel transfer'.
2)  When Bill moves the plates the water 'refreshes' around the reacting plates and hence the voltage momentarily rises.

This is super simple.  At best he has a fuel cell where the plates dont degrade but hydrogen from the water is the fuel (I seriously doubt this).  At average, my guess is that this is plain old galvanics.

Either way, the voltage is so pitifully low with amps even more miserable that you would need a bath tub full to run a joule thief. 

You can purchase fuel cell substrate from 3M and make smaller cells with higher output.

Hi Bill,
Interesting videos. I am interested in knowing how much power this generates.... so far you have only shown voltage which doesn't actually mean much. I am sure you know that volts with out amps is not power and amps with out volts is not power, there needs to be both....

surely it can't be hard to hook up a joule thief to your current set up? any ways, I intend for my comments to be read in a constructive way. Keep up the good work.

The purpose of the second video was to show that the device did not need the clips to be submerged for it to work.
Of course I know that the voltage and current is very low on this one module. I have gone way beyond this snall demo in my shop and will be showing that soon enough.
As to the comments by high voltage, the unit stablizes at 300 mv. my camera was running out of time
so I could not show that to your satisfction.
This is not a marine paint it is a substance that I developed. As to a galvanic reaction remember there are no anodes or cathodes which allows for a migration of ions and the subsequent degregation of the anode. Will this degrade over time so far it has not and I have been running a much larger unit for over 5 weeks. Of course everything degrades so I will have to wait and see.
And yes one of of my  units made up of 12 cells will light up a 2.1 v LED  25ma very brightly. In my last test I kept one at maximum brightness for 7 days before I disconnected it.
I will be out for the day.
