Crystal Cell Research for Experimenter

@ Fausto since you can dial your power supply and mines a straight 30v DC supply from a printer if you could do one at 30v and tell me how long you do it thanks

Will do.

My Crystal Cell #359 represents a new type of build in terms of the amounts of copper and magnesium, so I have been working for
the last couple days on configuring a new JT circuit specifically for this build.

Here's the video on this, which includes some of the techniques I use to fine JT circuits for crystal battery builds and load:

Status on Cell #149.


First photo: Part 3 Begin, December 1,
Second photo: battery of meter died (ironic) at 240 k samples.
Third photo: continuation after 240 k samples until the end another of 180 k samples totaling around 420 k samples.


This cell is giving around 2 mA to the LED continously.



Total running time:

Seconds:   1,600,000.00   
Minutes:   26,666.67   
Hours:   444.4   
Days:   18.5   
Months:   0.6   
Years :  0.05


Total Joules delivered so far:  8,256.

(please correct me).

btw, I am trying in this thread have a replication of THIS cell but in a much smaller size and faster "dormancy" time period so that ANYONE can replicate with no more than $.50 cents in cost and 15 minutes build. Acceptable one week dormancy time with following activation and very, very, very long running time without adding water.

Status on 149. Part 3 Begin, battery of meter died at 240 k samples (to be continued on next photo), part 3 restarted after
240 k samples, Part 3 END and beginning of Part 4. - Fausto.

Since the pattern of decay is basically flat, it might be more useful to look at one reading per day over weeks or months to get
a real feel for what's going on... looking at a day or 2 with a flat reading doesn't tell us much more than "it ran flat for a day or
2" - I would love to know how it's done over weeks, months, years.... even start date and now readings (just 2) would give
a real feel for how the decay rate is moving along.

For example: If a cell runs under load constantly for 2 weeks and starts at 1100 mA under load and ends up at 800 mV after 2 weeks,
it may look like a flat line in 12 hours, but with just those 2 reading and the number of days (14), we can calculate a daily decay
rate, which is what I think is important over weeks, months and years... in this case, the average decay rate is 1100 mV start
minus 800 mV current = 400 mV total decay, divided by 14 days equals 28.57 mV decay per day.

I know Bedini told everyone to get one of those programs and use it to monitor crystal batteries with it, but imagine having one
for every battery. You would have to have a computer for each battery. It doesn't make sense, UNLESS the load test is just for a
day or 2 or less... am I wrong here? Just my opinion....

Looking at those pictures, I still can't determine the total decay rate over the hand-typed 18.5 days. Can you hand type the start and
end voltage so we can determine the daily decay rate? It looks like almost NONE, but I am still not sure.... Thanks Fausto!!!

PS - Awesome Cells... the best I have seen... I came up with 8272 joules... for 3 cells, that would be 2757 per cell...
An AAA NiMh cell rated at 3000 aH and 1.2 V would give (based on the rating) 9,000,000 joules... please check my math too...
I get these for a little less than $0.60 delivered, so the only real advantage to crystal batteries is that we can build them with stuff
from home... in my humble opinion... and they are fun to play with! lol
