sandstone?

Nope, its not sandstone.


@all
With this rock I've found that it always wants to be the positive electrode. So what that means is yes, carbon/graphite is a negative electrode. Normally carbon is always a positive electrode but not when you use this rock. Can carbon corrode? Copper and titanium are also a negative electrode and the great thing about titanium is that its super corrosion resistant.

Granite?


have to say though IB that stone looked really wet So I would think that much water on the surface is doing all your conduction. Through the evaporation portion of water it is probably generating it's own voltage trough that process or something similar..

Sorry its not Granite.


The rock is naturally dark in color, only the bottom of the rock is wet.


Also many people may say its the clip lead that is reason for voltage but the clip lead is zinc and its no way that zinc and magnesium could produce over 2 volts.


I don't see water evaporating could be the reason for the voltage.


You're getting closer to the answer i would say. As soon as i hear more guess from others I let everyone know what it is and where to get it. Thank you for playing along.

IB2,I think its great you reached the two volt record.I made copper oxide solar cells back in the early 1990's in my kitchen like your video  you found shows.I did not use saltwater.I used elmers glue to attach a conductive window screen to the front.Scratched a small area bare on the
back of the copper plate to attach a wire to.When I heated the copper plate until it was black I plunged it into tap water out of the tap to knock the black oxide off.With wires attached to the screen and to the bare spot on the back of the plate it was ready for testing once the elmers glue dried clear.So its funny that I'm working with elmers glue again 20 years later.triffid

wow thats cool. Back to using glue again, its great stuff.
