Crystal Cell Research for Experimenter

[NickZ]

I need to patent this invention to protect it from evil people. I have no problem having people creating products of it and making money without paying me anything BUT if a COMPANY tries to do the same I will certainly look for my rights.


After watching how patent wars work I decided that I have to protect this invention. Patent wars are very damaging to inventors and the public in general. If someone else find out how I do it they will patent it and send me a letter of cease and desist forcing me to stop all this research and lose my rights.


So, if anyone here has a better idea, please, let me know. Running 1 milli-watt is very useful.


Fausto.

   Fausto:  Can you show just what you are using a "1 milli-watt" cell for?  Why do you think that this amount of voltage with very little current is useful?
   I also have totally dry aluminum carbon cells that are years old and still can output over a volt, and a couple of mAs. 
However, I don't see any point in trying to use their output of obtain any use able amount of light from them. And is why I ask you in what way are those cells useful?

The power you supply is 1 mW. Over 3 years, this represents an energy of 3*365*24*1*1*1/1000=26.2 Wh. You are within the range of a non-rechargeable R14 battery, and since the volume of your cell seems to be of the same order as that of an R14, this is an excellent result in terms of energy density.

Nevertheless, this performance is on the order of what ordinary chemical reactions could produce, and since the instantaneous power is much lower than that of R14 batteries, it could be assumed that the reactions here are more complete.

Is there something that lets you think that this is not the result of ordinary chemical reactions in the cell unlike any pile? I mean do you think there is a new process at work, or do you think it is the result of an obviously very smart engineering design and reaction products choice, but based on a conventional principle?

I think it is not conventional. First I know what corrosion is by looking at others cells with same mass and materials.


Second, cells get 1 degree celsius below room temperature.


Third, the cell is outputting more and more energy as it is used.


Fifth, the graphs, the graphs and the graphs.

1 mW is enough to run an LED and a Joule third.

    Fausto:
   Can you show it doing so, along side of a normal LED? Perhaps you can convince me that the cell's lumen level thus obtained is useful. In any case it would be good to also show what you are referring to, like in a video, along with some meter readings.   
   I'm not asking to disclose any secrets, but if you'd like some comments or interests from the forum, it would be good to show some results.
   The fact that you mentioned that one cell cracked open makes me wonder about oxidation, and the old galvanic reaction.
As salts absorb water in open cells, which helps any type of salt crystals to grow, while it eats away at the magnesium and the copper, providing an output. The drier the cell, the longer it lasts. Hermetically sealed cells work the longest, yet have the least output in mAs. 
   Does this all sound familiar?  What has changed, then?

   Remember me?  I was on the crystal cell thread, for quite a while, as you were, as well.

...Second, cells get 1 degree celsius below room temperature.
...

Of course, this is the most critical point. How did you check this temperature and how many times over the 3 years?
Karpen has patented a possible process for converting ambient heat into electricity without a chemical reaction, but a mix of both processes is still possible. Could it be related to his cells?
