Feb. 15, 2012 - "By adding an incredibly thin coating of alumina to a metal surface, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have doubled the rate that heat travels from a solid surface ...  The alumina coating -- only a few hundreds of atoms thick (1/1,000 the thickness of a human hair) -- has a high affinity to water and, as a result, facilitates the rapid rewetting of the solid surface."[/size]

[font='times new roman'] I am thinking this is the process we are doing here. These cells are heat transferring to each metal. The aluminum oxide some use has an affinity to water! [/font]

Also I have been thinking that the e-cat is a simple way to do these cell. Just like edison did with his cells. Nickle and hydrogen! the iron sucks up the oxygen and hydrogen slowly catalyzes with the excess hydrogen in the water!

We found it! We had it all the time!

This process changes the nickle to copper!

So what if we have a sacrificial iron to make the hydrogen from water and use copper and nickle electrodes?

I made six new cells using citric acid and vitamin C in powder form.No pills and silicion dioxide will be my form of silica in the cells.I tried making a really huge cell using it(got a max of 1.57 volts once).But I decided to go back to egg cartons since I know that best.I did nothing to treat the electrodes(copper and magnesium).So tomorrow I will read voltages if its dry enough.triffid

I have tried to locate some nickleplated key blanks here in st.louis,but no luck yet.All I got was zinc plated.Which I really did not want but decided it was better to have it than to not have it.triffid

I was thinking that in our cells we already have a process of water being split in the process of crystal growth. So how can we use this to our advantage?


The hydrogen inside of the crystals seems to be a superior way to naturally hold hydrogen for the nickle to react with. And the copper electrode would increase in size as the ions move to the copper and form metal copper. Water would have to be in this process though somehow and yes the nickle would be consumed but at such small rates that it would be unusual to have to replace the nickel. <guess


So maybe a change in the design would have to be made.


The nickel could be at the bottom of the cell surrounded by the crystalline growth and water on top of that growth with a copper mesh in the water? As hydrogen is sucked out of the crystal it could be replaced by the water filtering through the crystalline structure and oxygen would carry the ions back to the copper... Hmmmm...

Go to youtube and search for iron acetate.  This is very simple to make with vinegar, water, and steel wool.  BTW, it works very well in some of the cells I have made.

Also, check out youtube user "yellowmetalcyborg's" channel for the aluminum air battery.  Easy to make and a lot of fun!
