http://www.tecca.com/news/2012/08/17/buckyball-xylene-crystal-harder-than-diamond/   Buckyballs made the news today.Seems they found a way to make them harder than diamonds?triffid

Theres more news on the buckyball front ,It may allow you to live longer.If you are a rat that is.

The good news here is that Olive oil allowed the rats to live longer by 4 months longer than the control group.
So you humans start taking 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil a day.triffid

I went to the dollar tree store here in st.Louis,mo.and bought "kosher salt" one lb for one dollar.Kosher to me means no iodine.
So no iodine in this salt .Then I bought 290 grams of Calcium chloride dihydrate for one dollar same place.Its used as a moisture eliminator.
It absorbs by twice its weight, water from the air.So Ill be building an air well in a jar.Plus be looking at what I can do with it in a crystal cell.triffid

 Gadget Bullet Battery
Here is a dry tiny bullet battery i made from a spent 22 casing 6 pieces of rock salt {sea salt)and a piece of magnesium strip 3/4 inch held with a dab of hot glue .
it is totally dry and loose as i hit it with hot torch before i sealed it .
It is running a joule thief at 1.020 vcd @1ua http://youtu.be/tb1k2dAlwaM

This Jt will oscillate with just dissimilar metal between my fingers and the clips . I adjust the Jt to show a tiny amount of light indicating the transistor is oscillating . the blink comes from a cap between in collector and the small toroid  windings .It fires the led brighter at a lower resistance on the pot where as lights continuous with high resistance .running for 40 hours plus now from My Bullet Battery. So Brass sea salt magnesium and hot glue makes a dry  crystal cell. However dry it id probably Galvanic in nature .there may be a small amount of black carbon inside the shell after i fired it . I torched it with a pin tipped blow torch before and after i loaded it with the rock salt and magnesium then touched around the hole with a hot glue stick. Next Bullet will be a 9mm and a 30/30 shell.
This one is still producing voltage
