Crystal Cell Research for Experimenter

[plengo]

I feel like Frankenstein trying to resurrect this cell... It was just sitting here with the multimeter shorted on the uA readings for many hours and it was still hanging (on short) at around 120 uA, so I gave it a quick spray of water and it climbed up to about 1/2 mA, which is almost usable. Then I sprinkled about 5 pinches of alum on top and watched. It was over 2 mA for a while and after about 15 minutes is still over 1 mA. I am not sure why I think the blow torch would help... maybe I just want to burn this bastard to death, but I'll let it RIP tonight and see how it's doing tomorrow. I have a nice wooden frame, 44" of mag strip and some copper wire invested in this bastard, so I won't let it die easily! lol - Frankenstein lives! Either that, or I will burn it to it's FINAL death with the blow torch... we'll see...

  Kill the mod* fu$#($&#, kill it!!!


Die you bastard, burn in helllllll..   


There is a video o mine that I say the same thing , that I made the cells to just kill them at all costs. Paradoxical.


Fausto.

New Build #354 Status

Built a JT like the others. On load, it's reading 1.21 volts. It's bright light like the last 2.

[tgraca]

Similar to #354, but thinned out the electrolyte (it a liquid instead of a mush) and poured into cell with a little air pocket and sealed with caulk. Very weak to start. 940 mV under load.

Showing 547 mV on load... I'll put this one to rest...

[tgraca]

Currently reading 840 mV under load - up a little...

It's up again this morning to 851 mV. My hygrometer is still showing LL - less than 15% humidity. The temp is about the same. This is a moody little cell.
