This turned out to be a weak cell. I think it is the borax crystal on the mag strip. I will recycle #'s 344-345 and use a hydrogen
peroxide solution to clean the mag strips from them to see if this makes a difference. I did learn that standard 3%  hydrogen
peroxide does a great job cleaning off copper and magnesium. There was approx. 44" of mag strip in this build. I tuned a new,
really easy to build JT circuit for this cell and it is running really well. No more resistors or caps! Video coming soon! 42+ volts
from this weak cell with the new JT circuit! Stay tuned!

PS - I was worried I was going to fry the 3904 transistor, which is rated at 40 volts, but I left it hooked up for an hour before I
connected it to the crystal cell and it seems to be fine after the final build! Note that I gave this cell a 30-second zap too...

It's interesting how this cell increased power with maintenance. I cover my current maintenance method here too.

Ok new cell , "Crystal Battery 2 F149".
Construction.
2.5 inch paper towel with F149.
2 Strips on Magnesium Ribbon together
Bare Copper wire
Formation..
Try as I might my 30V power supply will not play any more in the Formation process..it just trips
So..19V DC for about 20 Seconds(quits Steaming)
4 Cells total in series.
load is a 5mm white LED.
Cells individually wrapped in plastic.
Ill this run til she dies and rest for a week in my dry house


First chart is overall at formation assembly til screen cap.(the green line is where i bumped the clips
Next chart is a close up towards end of chart.

Status 149:[/font]


Pictures in chronological sequence.

1 - Another 400 k samples

2 - Another reset graph to start another 400k samples. At around 90k I did a quick testing with cell shorted to measure current. Observe how she stabilized at the bottom and once load removed how fast it recovered.

3 - Finally cell is dying. Observe that at sample 250 k I added a few drops of Epson solution to see if she would respond and to my surprise there was NO RESPONSE (just like when I used her last year and let it die). A very steady decay. At sample 340 k I disconnected the LED and another surprise, she decayed even faster WITHOUT a load. Now the remaining decay is exponential just like ALL other cells I have seen (like a capacitor discharge).

4 - Cell BEFORE I started this whole series of graphs. Observe the crystal (white stuff) on top of the cell. Grayish is corrosion and whitish is crystal.

5 - Cell After ADDING Epson solution when sample 250 k was reached (pic 3). It simply did not work adding Epson. It only helped to create more crystal without any extra power. Usually adding solutions at later times in cells they have a sharp response and return to where it was. This cell has no response.

6 - Example of another sister cell cast in resin BEFORE this whole graph series was started.


My Observations: Cell was a winner in performance compared to ANY other cell I have made. She was literally flat response until finally sudden death. She died really fast in the end which is not normal. Usually I have an exponential decay from day one, just like other pictures of members here in this forum.


Once I added more Epson salt I was expecting a "sharp bump" on the graph and later resume to where it was, BUT, that did not happened which really puzzled me.


Only after adding more Epson salts I had more crystal (white stuff) appearing and no power. Ultra strange again. Usually with crystal growth comes more power.


Cell is unresponsive to anything now. Adding water or any other solutions will only accelerate corrosion a die for sure. I will let her dry totally and resurrect her again later and put on graph by "activating" with Epson solution.


There is something very peculiar about FC62 (zapping) that allows the cell, after dormancy, to respond like that. I need lots more of experimentation.


Once again learned that once this kind of cell die, DO NOT ADD ANYTHING to it. Let it DRY completely and only then activate with Epson solution.


I "think" the sudden decays has to do with total water evaporation and starving the cell. Now she will need to dry and create a SOLID crystal structure that will allow her to run again, may be, another 1600 k samples. Will see if my theory is correct.


After dying she run even faster death WITHOUT A LOAD. Very, very, very strange.


I am crying again since she is not living for ever. 
Fausto.

Interesting how your graph has changed dramatically. What do you think is the cause?


Are you using a JT? Usually with JTs it creates those saw tooth wave.


Let it really die WITH the load and take a picture of the cell with as much detail as you can. If you could (without destroying) open a cell also and take pictures and share here it will be great.


Fausto.
