Ibpointless2 Crystal Cells

[triffid]

My best voltages were acquired using pencil leads and magnesium metal strips(1.9 volts for each cell).I had not tried gold yet but I have a little.I never tried fools gold because I had no samples on hand.Later I learned that fools gold generates some sulfuric acid.So I really don't want that.I don't want corrosion of any type.Im hoping that my borax treated magnesium/soot strip still generates a voltage some months down the road.triffd

Two of my first cells are still generating a good voltage  .81 volts and 1.17 volts.These had been made about the third week of january,2012.
These two cells have been kept sealed up and not exposed to the water in the air ever since they were made.Except to be taken out and their voltages measured.They are also not hooked up to anything.Most of my other cells that were exposed to the air and hooked up to LEDs
have lost their voltages.I did try to hook up a JT to my two cells but not enough amps to operate the JT.Volts were ok but I got .001 and .008 mAs repectively.So not enough amps to drive my one JT.triffid

I have been busy the last few days with cleaning out a house.I got ahold of some "pretty kitty " cat litter(contains silica).I will hang on to some of it for future rock battery experiments.Also got ahold of some lead(not a bullet).Future electrode use there!triffid
