Crystal Cell Research

[plengo]

Indeed my latest cells do like cold. They increase power with cold and lower power with heat. Which is the OPPOSITE of my older cells. Specially the ones open to air. So moisture is not the reason.


Another thing is that I tested 2 cells to extreme heat and cold and they simply do not like heat for too long and after heat up they don't like cold either. SO I literally cooked then too much and melted the crystal structure which even with more water (moister from condensing from the freezer) does not help.


One of my cells fell on the ground and show "dust" around the surface which i notice to be a bad sign (broke the crystals) and indeed this cell performs less better than her sister.


Those cells are behaving in a way that none of my other cells did. I would think the word "endothermic" ?


Fausto.

Exellent plengo.that is THE way to eliminate all remaining doubts about corrosion.if you use the textbooks method of faraday's equivalency law and your result overrides it,by far,then you can safely rule out corrosion with no remaining doubts.the best way to do this is using milligram quantities of foils anodes at current draw of around 50-100 micro-ampere.

thanks for seeing what I see too about empirical data. I agree milligram would be wonderful. I don't have a milligram balance so for now I will have to use the foils and a rough estimate of, let's say, 30% precision. So anything should run longer by at least 50% of what calculated would be and still be pretty safe in data wise if that is accomplished.


I would say this is a fair measurement for anyone. Agree anyone?


So what would be next? I would propose to those that are willing to do this very simple experiment just get the copper which is the most difficult one but can be purchased here (http://basiccopper.com/1milcopperfoil.html) and cheap aluminum foil at the local super market. The electrolyte could be paper with vinegar or acid or anything you can imagine and use a 100 ohm resistor cross the terminals of the battery.


Measure the voltage across the resistor every so often and plot a graph by hand. The fluctuation of the graph and a 2 to 4 weeks measurement should tells us the story. Different electrolytes same process. Post the results, please.

It will take exactly the atomic weight of aluminum divide by 3 in grams for 96500colombo to dissolve. Al > Al3+ ion. accurate jewellery digiscale is fine.

  If you don't want to show what you've got, but want us to chart dissolving cells, as a base line to compare to what you haven't shown yet, well, I don't share your mode of operation. 
  I recommend that you just make a video of your cells, like you've done before, and let us decide if what you have made now is of interest, or not. Some guys may take you up on your "base line" tests. But, I have other things on my plate.
  I trust and believe in what you've shown us previously, and don't need to chart decaying cells to prove the point.
