showing 724 mV under load. Draw was 0.84 mA for the JT circuit. Disconnected JT and and got 1.67 V... shorted it and got over 6 mV initially then it did a slow drop starting around 5.56 mA... It's still a little wet from watering yesterday, but mostly dry... waited a couple minutes and reconnected the JT circuit with similar readings... 725 mV under load w/draw of 0.85 mA... wet the cell and after a couple minutes, it was pushing 935 mV with a draw of over 3 mA.... but dropping quickly... after 16 minutes, it seems to be holding around 1.15 mA and 754 mV

I shorted it again, and it was up over 20 mV... I am ready to trash a bunch of my glue cells, which were powering 2 blinker circuits... they needed to be watered more than once per day.... this one and #344, when I convert it to alum, will be able to power them hopefully for over a day without watering. I may clean out my old wood-box cells from April and rebuild them like this too for a couple more blinker circuits. They were cooked Rochelle and Epsom salt (bedini idea) and the coiled mag. strips are broken in many places and hard to grab with an alligator clip, but they will run for 3 days per watering... hmmm... I have 4 boxes.... hate to waste them, so I won't...

his one and #344, when I convert it to alum[/size]

What do you mean by "convert it"?


Btw, it is just like that with the 344, it will eventually not take a charge neither run anymore with more water or Epson solution. That IS GREAT. She is getting to the point where I call it "dormant".


This is what happened to my current super running cell around april 2013. It became dormant and I thought she was dead and I sent to her cemetery. Three weeks ago I added a little bit of Epson solution and she became SUPER ALIVE. So don't throw away that 344, save her.


Were you able to create a 344 with paper around and leaving a strip of the paper out so later can add Epson solution?

Fausto.

re: 344 - convert it = I am planning to bore out most of the electrolyte and convert it to an alum water-as-fuel cell.
re: create a 344 with paper around = check out the builds for 351-355 - they are similar, but no charge added...

I am currently working on building a small lab for testing various JT configurations quickly for a new type of LED I acquired. See my notes on a previous post here. Math only works to a point for me... small variations affect performance greatly....

I hooked this resurrected #345 up to the JT circuit design I sent Fausto with the 3F cap across the input. Once the cap was charged, which took several hours, it was only drawing about 0.5 mA from the cell and has been maintaining 750-790 mV under load. It is currently at 782 mV. It's a blinker circuit and I think the slow bright pulses help recharge this battery. I have been using this circuit with other very weak ibpointless2 cells for months successfully.

if you could build a 344 with the paper I mention but FC62 (the charge), would be wonderful. I want to see if your process build will be similar to the results I have with my (let's call it) "super 149".


I know about the 351-355[/size]  [/size]But they are missing the FC62.[/size]
