Allwest Power cell

[Andy Shell]

I've tried a few different ways and have never been able to reach 1.8v with just Cu & Mg. I'm sure there is some trick to repititon of this anomaly but impossible to speculate on without a functioning stable unit. Very frustrating.

Just wanted to give an update on that.

Keep up the great work Steve!

Hi Allwest,
any new LED test coming ?
We really would like to "see" the power of the cells.
Please show us lighting bigger sized LEDs with a few cells in series.
Many thanks.

Regards, Stefan.
P.S: Andy, 1.8 Volts is also not too bad,
what kind of Magnesium ribbon did you use ?
How many millamps was the short circuit current ?
Many thanks.

Hmm... maybe you can do the ultimate test and use 8 cells in series =12 Volts output and power a 12 Volt 1 to 3 Watts
LED bulb with it and show us, how bright you get it ?

Looking forwad to a test to really see the power of these cells.

I am not sure that's the ultimate test :-)
Why not just measure the voltage and current under a fixed load (or number of loads as separate tests) and get the power figures?
That, for me, would speak more than the 'brightness' of an LED. Incidentally, the perceived 'brightness' of an LED isn't linear with voltage or current - it's quite a poor indicator of the cells output power.

A couple of decent DMM's and some power resistors is infinitely more scientific

Hi Stefan,
I have been extremely busy with the business lately, so not much time to play with video's

I have been working with a new mag alloy lately with great results, "magnesium welding rod" it has an aluminum alloy in it that seems to keep the mag from corroding as fast with high powered cells that I have been making

Coil the rod to fit inside a copper pipe, cap one end,  try filling the pipe with potassium nitrate dry and see what you get

If you get it wet she will heat up, be carful

Just some ideas for you, take all necessary precautions

Do not try this unless you are a trained professional 

Best of luck
Allwest

Hi Andy

If you want high volts you should try mag with carbon, much higher than copper

Best of luck
