Failing health is never good to hear about.I have cataracts and will have surgery to remove them soon,next couple of months I figure.Then I can see clearly again.I have been told its a walk in the park.I hope so.triffid

Its been 72 hours since I put together my buttermilk cells.I just sealed them with more glue-all and mortons salt sub.I will seal them with wax about 48 hours or longer from now.I saw black corrosion for the first time on my magnesium strips and green corrosion on the copper electrodes.So much for buttermilk protecting anything I guess.triffid

I put together a high voltage salt water capacitor tonight and hooked it up to two cells that were powering a small Led.Ill read the voltage in the morning.I expect the cells to charge it up to their combined voltage and no more.triffid

Black on the magnesium is good triffid! Green on the copper not so good...
I finally got to make a cell tonight! Four carbon electrodes and one aluminum in the middle... Looks like one of the carbon electrodes doesn't work as well as the others but I will post more on that cell in a day or two. Got a nice hard mix fairly quickly (15mins!) out of what I used: 1/3 cup Durhams, 1/3 cup finely crushed epsom salt, and 2 TBsp H2O. Not the voltage readings I'm after but it continues to prove the point about multiple 'trodes... Need to test more...

Happy experimenting everyone!

(EDIT: Sorry to hear about the ill health there guys... Best wishes!)
