A few inches of snow has hit where I live.I did make it out to Walmart this morning.I saw a bottle of their cheap aspirin.Silicon dioxide was in the top five of their inert ingredients.Equate is their store brand but I did not use it 81 mg coated but I used a different brand altogether.
Their other aspirin did not have silicon dioxide in them.




I do not believe it I was looking at the label again and it says peel here for more information.So I peeled the label from the bottle and the only other ingredient is starch.So its starch that seems to keep the power up on these glue cells.triffid

Starch becomes soluble in water when heated. The granules swell and burst, the semi-crystalline structure is lost and the smaller amylose molecules start leaching out of the granule, forming a network that holds water and increasing the mixture's [/size]viscosity[/font][/size]. This process is called [/size]starch gelatinization[/font][/size]. During cooking the starch becomes a paste and increases further in viscosity. During cooling or prolonged storage of the paste, the semi-crystalline structure partially recovers and the starch paste thickens, expelling water. This is mainly caused by the [/size]retrogradation[/font][/size] of the amylose. This process is responsible for the hardening of bread or [/size]staling[/font][/size], and for the water layer on top of a starch gel ([/size]syneresis[/font][/size]).[/size]

So I am not cooking it and this says it holds water longer.Hence the longer voltage time.I did find something with silica in it.I know grass has silica in it.Just plain lawn grass is what I'm talking about.Silica moves the casimir plates apart due to something they are now calling dark energy.So dark energy could be used to make the casimir plates stay apart for longer periods of time.triffid

Hey all,

Picked up some Durham's tonight and tried a couple mixtures with the salt sub. The 'water putty' has a few things that I think will (hopefully) make it better than the Elmer's wood putty:
1.) It is a dry powder so it mixes easily with other dry materials
2.) The main ingredient is gypsum which is very crystalline
3.) It is supposed to dry 'rock hard'
Now from what I've been seeing on the wood putty; Expectedly if I compress the electrolyte I get a higher voltage. Conclusion: The closer the crystals are together, (or the less empty space, whatever...) the better the voltage. I'm pretty sure I could get some moderate voltage by using a press on the elmer's like John B. did with just the salt sub... Same salt sub, a slightly different medium, probably lower voltage but who knows...
The Durham's said it will expand while it dries a little bit and that it will want to absorb water if you don't seal it so when these early tests dry out as much as they are likely too I will seal them in wax (probably...). Will keep you posted on those... The couple I did should be pretty dry tomorrow (so the package claims, but they don't have potassium chloride in their mix either!).
I finally took a pic tonight of some of my 'tests'. Plastic bottle lids work really well for little cells!
Gonna go check out IBs latest vid.
Happy experimenting!

EDIT: My smallest 'cell' yet is sitting in the bottom blue tray. Can't wait to see what it measures tomorrow...
