Crystal Cell Research

Semiconductors semiconduct without moisture. Aren't "dry crystal cells"  crystal-based semiconductors that bring in the ambient? Taking advantage of crystal growth pressure is one way to make extra energy, but don't they still produce with no moisture? Ibpointless seems to think so and apparently also lasersaber, who looks like he's planning to seal his 100-year motor in a glass display.

Moisture is needed, I think, to grow the crystals that you want to be the heart of the cell, but after the cell is adequately populated with actual crystal, I would think the moisture is no longer needed if one were to make these right. Am I wrong or right?

My mistake has been impatience, I believe. I failed to wait for the moisture to dissipate and seal up the cell before testing the cell, so it eats away the metal. Produces more power this way, but in the long run, this destroys it.

Just had a sleepy thought I'll be pondering tomorrow after I've gotten some rest: computers use crystals for timing. They're not moist environments.

O yeah ! Even some old diodes act as crystal cells in light.

You are totally right. The water is sealed into the crystal material. Especially epsom salts. Adding water only kills the process and encourages galvanic response. Once my aluminum has a coating of crystals it showed NO signs of galvanic response. The metal was shinny while looking through the crystals around the aluminum. Once the surfaces are coated with crystals you can start to build the crystal structure in between the electrodes. You want to stress the battery but not overstress it. It's like the muscle building method. This will build the crystals into a tighter more energetic transfer focus. I found that the cell once formed got stronger over time. But my cell was very wet and it was taking a month to even forge a connection between the aluminum and graphite electrodes. The mix i used was lacking and I really don't remember the mixture only that Borax, epsom salts and Mortons Salt substitute. What the mix ratio was I couldn't tell you now. But that combination seems to be the best from my experience when using aluminum and graphite.

The jar I used for the cell was pretty big in the mouth. This made the outside electrode a good distance from the center graphite electrode. maybe 1 inch on all sides?

Uncle JB, will the crystal cells work still, if you dehydrate the crystals 100 % ?

If your answer is yes, I bow down and accept you. If your answer is no, then you just have a galvanic cell, and wrongly calling it a crystal cell.
