Marcus Reid crystal battery simular to Hutchinson cell !

[hartiberlin]

Hello all,
please read the article about the crystal battery of Marcus Reid:

http://www.borderlands.de/energy.reid.php3

It is simular to the Hutchinson energy cell.

Hi Koen,
have a look at Marcus Reid?s crystall
battery !
It produces form 1.1 to 2.7 Volts ( depending on temperature)
and from 10 to 25 mA !

It seems to be simular to the Hutchinson
battery.
Reid uses CACO3 and melts it up and
let it cool for 3 days, so the crystals are forming.

Something simular must be the case in the Walt?s watercells.
There also build up some kind of white ZnCl crystalls
around the alloy and it might help the long
electric generation.

Also the high voltage exitation might generate
an electret effect inside the material in Hutchinson?s
case.

Regards, Stefan.

Hi Koen,
I am currently trying to find out a phone number
of Marcus Reid.
His old address seems not to be valid anymore.

I think he must use as Hutchinson also some kind
of fluid-material addon, so to lower the melting temperature
of the molt !

So this is why Hutchinson was able to do it on
his small cooker spiral you can see in the video.

Walter Hofmann just told me, that he also got higher voltages
with his AGC cells, when he conditioned it during the
making with High Voltage pulses !

Also it is said, that it is just a surface effect
between the metalls and the crystalls,
so better use big metal plates with brushed
rough surfaces , put thereon
the molten Calcit and fluidaddon and
put a graphite plate on it as the other electrode.

I have seen it myself, that in the watercells it also depends
on the "formating" of the the metal/crystal surface to get a good
output.
Inside the watercells we get it with NaCL and ZnCL
salts mainly and the surface connection to the Zn/AL and
graphite matters !
If the mix is too wet, there can not form the right crystals
on the surface, only if the water is drying off
slowly it can be done.

Hope this helps.

Regards, Stefan.

Koen,
yes, sure a dried out cell still has around 0.7 to 0.8 Volts
voltage on it open circuit, but the current you can draw is
pretty low then.

With the water cells it seems to be a must to have
some wetness still remaining to conduct much more current.
If they are totally dried out, they only have a short circuit current
of under 0.5 mA.
If you have it still wet, then the cell can do
shortcircuit current of shortly of 100 mA and more, depending
on the size !

The other questions I will answer later, cause I am just running
an experiment in the kitchen I wanto finish.

Regards, Stefan.
