Odd that I got a notification for this thread...no matter what I do I can't get a notification for the kapandze thread.

Anyone else having that problem ?

Indeed, I am.  If I look at the latest replies to my threads, I see many, since Members are regularly posting to them.  I only get one or two a week in my Yahoo! "In Box", though.

Does any Moderator know why we're see this?

Not sure Lee, I thought it was just me until I got this notification.

Hey Jim nice work ....the 2.5v is interesting ....I made 36 little eb's...each puts out .64v .... all 36 hooked in series gave me 22.25v as soon as I hook up my led the volts drop to 2.5v.....18 in series gave 11.06v as soon as I hook up the led the volts drop to 2.5v .Then I made six sets of six in series....hooked the six sets in parralel.....gave me 3.74v...hooked the led dropped to 2.58v....3 sets of six in parrallel,... hooked in series,.. with the other3 sets of six in parrallel...gave me 7.74v ,..hooked the led dropped to 2.6v.....can anybody explain why ...no matter the arrangement once you hook up the led the #'s drop to this ~2.5v  ..........thanx for any input ....shylo

i believe this is due to breakdown/avalanche effect.  When there is a difference in potential ( voltage )  that exceeds the amount that the insulating part of the semiconductor it will begin to conduct, and in the case of a led  emit light.   2.5v  might just be what is necessary for it to conduct

Yes, that is what I found with my setup too.

In series the cells gave me up to 66volts and it was enough to light up a white LED fairly brightly.

I have tried series and parallel together, which lowered the volts but quadrupled the Ma, I was then able to drive a couple of LEDs at the same time.

Remember the higher voltage seen on the meter will always be seen with NO load across the output, as soon as you put a load in circuit the output drops to where it can supply voltage and current, depending on the wattage or milliwats as the case may be.
If you short the output, and have a LED on it too, the meter will see almost nothing on its display, remove the short, and the LED will begin to glow, getting gradually brighter, once again this depends on how much energy is avaliable to the circuit.
