Ibpointless2 Crystal Cells

[ibpointless2]

Sorry all that I have not been posting for awhile now, I've been very busy with work and other projects.


I'm still hard at work on these crystal cells and many other projects. I promise I'm working on some interesting stuff and I will post more info as soon as the concepts prove themselves.

I need to update everyone about what Ive done with my cells.My dandelion (four cells hook up in series) cells were producing 4.48 volts and .03 mAs.I started removing the wires and my magnesium strips broke off.So I had good volts until the end.Pretty good amps too.I never did seal them with wax.So they were exposed to the air all this time (about 2 and 1/2 weeks).Its been raining a lot during that time.I had a good bright burning red LED during that time too.
Big J,I think in my next six cells I'll use petro jelly on my magnesium strips and wrap them too with paper towel paper as you suggested.See if that will keep the magnesium strips intact.

I looked at two of my older cells(about 3 months old).These were made with tin can lids and magnesium strips.No corrosion there at all.They were made only with epsom salts and moron salt sub and elmers glue all.One was producing .78 volts and .003mAs.The other was producing
.57 volts and .001mAs.triffid

So the oldest cells made without acetic acid,citric acid,absorbic acid,and oxalic acid did not corrode the magnesium strip.Now they did corrode the copper electrode if it was used.I have no corrosion with the tin can lid and magnesium strips at all.So fumaric acid does not corrode the tin can lids.Or the magnesium.triffid




This week I will make six more cells with dandelion leaf parts to see if I can repeat my results and to see if I can protect the magnesium strips somehow.

I went out to pick some dandelion leaves to dry and saw some thistles.They are bitter herbs too.I stayed with dandelions.Thistles can come later.triffid
