Ibpointless2 Crystal Cells

[PhiChaser]

@ PB: I'm hoping I don't have ANY sacrificial electrodes. The aluminum I have had in epsom salt and a little water for nearly a month is shiny and new. I don't think limestone or gypsom are going to eat my 'trodes. Sub salt does, sea salt does, vitamin c 'probably' does but I'm not sure to what extent. There may be a small allowance for acidity in the formula, probably has to be for the absolute best numbers right? Amylose probably doesn't corrode but I'm just going with my 'gut' on that, I have no chemistry background, just sort of intuitive about things heh heh...

Happy experimenting guys,

IB2,It occurred to me that your one five foot cell will generate about 3.2 kilowatts in the next six months at its current rate of output.Which means you have already made at least one or more kilowatts with it already.triffid

My dried circles of paper that were soaked with an epsom salts and morton salt sub gave me only.001-.002 volts when I put them between
two pennies.So the crystal seems to have to have the electrodes present to provide an orientation for hookups between the lattices and the electrodes.
The other cells I made show voltages from lower up to .48 volts.They are not all dry yet it seems.

The repulsive force of silica is mentioned here.
In a recent experiment, the long-range repulsive Casimir force between a gold-coated sphere and a silica plate immersed in bromobenzene was measured. The silica plate was then replaced by a thick gold film, and the measurements were repeated[/font][/size]35[/color][/font]. The results show ([/font][/size]Fig. 5a[/font][/size]) that the force is attractive for a gold film but repulsive for a silica plate, which is in agreement with theoretical predictions[/font][/size]10[/color][/font]. A known force between the sphere and plate â€" the hydrodynamic force â€" was used to calibrate the cantilever force constant and the surface separation at contact[/font][/size]112[/color][/font]. Repulsive forces in systems satisfying equation (3) were previously reported in the van der Waals (quasi-static) regime, although with much larger uncertainties (see ref. [/font][/size]113[/font][/size] and references therein).[/font][/size]
