Ibpointless2 Crystal Cells

[triffid]

It seems to me that copper plated metals work nearly as well as copper objects.There was a little talk on using silver plated metal.Of course the metal underneath might have some influence on crystal formation?I have a copper plated zinc disk on my one successful cell.I used it because there was no corrosion on it.I think magnesium plated metals would work ok too.triffid

Never use table salt, it will never make a good cell.

I ventured out today and got two containers of Mortons Salt Sub.So I made three more glue cells.All three have aluminum wire and copper wire.One is a control cell with just glue and mortons salt sub.The other two contain epsons salts also.Control voltage was .48 wet
the other two cells were .52 and .50 wet.So now I wait to if there is a difference.triffid

I too ventured out to find some different salt substitutes to see if they will work or not. So far I can say some work better than others but I won't know until the cells fully dry out.

At 22 hours since being made with morton salt sub.The two new cells I made are .45 and .38 volts.The control cell with just glue and morton salt sub is .37 volts. I went out today and bought some sodium silicate from O'Reilly auto parts store.The brand name is "Seal-Up" and it has metal specks in it looks like copper?Liquid glass metallic it says on the bottle.Its a radiater and engine block sealer.I am intent on using the clear liquid part of it  in the beginning.It cost me $5.19.It does not say what metal is in there.triffid
