Good news oxalic salts can be found in black pepper.Another free source, from mc donalds this time,I need some pepper please?


So black pepper cells are on the menu now.

I made 6 new cells using black pepper(from Mc Donalds).One packet for all six cells.Will check voltages when the cells dry some.About 12 hours?Then the electrodes will not wiggle around on me.I did not protect the magnesium strips in anyway.Using the oxalic salt and not the acid is the only protection they have.I will find out in two weeks if it is enough.triffid




http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxalate  more on the salts of oxalic acid.

It looks like calcium oxalate and iron oxalate are not very soluble in water.But magnesium oxalate is.I guess I will wait and see what I have?triffid


calcium oxalate is 7mgs/liter(solubility).

Well,its been 8 hours since the new black pepper cells have been drying.The electrodes used were copper wires and magnesium strips.
Once again there are bubbles in the glue around the magnesium strips.Too soon to see a black color or breakage of the magnesium strip.
healthy voltages from 1.45 volts to 1.5 volts.No amp reading yet.Maybe later tonight or tomorrow.triffid




cells are looking dark due to the black pepper.

I hooked up all six cells containing black pepper.I got over 8 volts in the beginning and watched it drop to 6.4 volts.Then measured the amps.The amps turned out to be .98 mAs.At 6.4 volts and .98mAs that makes 6.27mWs.I hooked up a red LED to the cells and its very bright..
The bedroom is now closed off to the AC in the house and can now be considered a hot room.
