Graphite and treated-formed magnesium dry cell
This cell holds power dry (shorted) at 2.25 Ma dry, adding just water-moist brings this cell up to 200 Ma range  1.85 volts
But the interesting results is the dry cell power that has no sign of depleting

Still trying to figure out why some of my crystal cells react with more power when shorted

Heat does seem to affect this cell with the possibility of a thermal difference between two dissimilar metals   

But also researching these cells getting the power from a kind of Thermophotovoltaic cell, which are also affected by heat, that turn heat into electricity via photons, these cells  use crystals to change and collect optical energy, near-infrared region

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia"Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) energy conversion is a direct conversion process from heat differentials to electricity via photons. A basic thermophotovoltaic system consists of a thermal emitter and a photovoltaic diode cell."

Best of luck

Hi everyone, I've been busy with other things and have not played with crystal cells that much. I do have an update on the 5 foot crystal cell that powers a LCD clock that was a little odd.


Around 3-5-13 the 5 foot tall crystal cells that powers the LCD clock went out. The screen completely blank. Some times the screen would flicker a digit out of the block of numbers but it would never show the full amount of digits to show the time. I was about ready to put it up and maybe take it apart to see what happen and why it died but due to my laziness i never got around to doing so and i'm glad i didn't[/size][/font]. last night around 9PM on 4-11-13 the clock came back at full power! The clock was dead for nearly a month, I never touched it or moved it, and was considering it a failure and ready to put it up for good. Before going to bed I set the clock a little ahead and when i woke this morning its still keeping perfect time at full power! I have no idea what could have triggered it to turn back on as it was never touched and the cell is sealed up too. Within that month i had thunderstorms pass though and the clock never responded to the temp or humidity of the storm. Maybe the cell doesn't like March? During the time the clock was out I missed it because i used it as a clock in the room. The cell dies and then comes back to life, how odd is that? [/font]

G'Day all,
@ib, I've had the same thing happen on some of my older cells. They die for no reason and then blam come back to life.
Keep up the good work guys.
regards ian.

Hi Everyone

First I want you all to know how much I appreciate your efforts Fausto, allwest ipointless, lidmotor, lasersaber, inventor3 ..... I am fascinated by your work and dedication. Now I have a great desire to start experimenting myself. I am currently ordering materials. I have one question. One thing I have not seen on this thread is any mention of John Hutchison's cell. He uses some unique materials like Rochelle salts, Sodium Silicate and what he calls doping agents like Galena, Iron Pyrite, Calcium Carbonate and Silver filings.

Here is the video. Initially I was about to stop watching it because I thought it was a prank!! But somehow I kept watching.
I guess a scientist can be forgiven for his eccentricities :-)
