yes all of that is right i had both leads from each wire exposed at the top insulated from one another with tape just for the top. how i held it all on the screw.  now the copper wasent insulated just the bailing wire  and the zinc screw .. note after i got a complete layer done meaning from the top to the bottom. i should have put another piece of cloth over the whole layer, and then continued to wind my second layer on top of that, i didn't i just tried to make sure my copper didn't touch tat of the first layer and i suspect some did and some didn't.  When i said cotton i mean fabric like cheap cloth i used cut up old white garden gloves that have the stretchy blue wrist thing. cut the blue nylon off and the proceeded to cut strips of the fabric.. i did this the hard way im sure you can find some thing fabric or whatever else you think would be good for the electrolyte to pass through easily. Water being my electrolyte.  The readings once again were from one lead of the copper wich is positive and one lead of the steel as negative no connection to the center screw other than the common electrolyte, The remainig two leads were in mid air.  i'll be glad to answer any thing else i can. Thanks so much for your interest and help.

1. i wound those two wires with the copper on the inside and the iron on the outside in a bifilar wind all the way

2. I think a key is to insulate the copper from itself each layer of windings not just for the indivudal wraps tho.  So The results , in plain tap water because

I didnt understand these two: Number 1 Are you saying you wound them on top of each other or side by side together?
And number 2 what are you saying an individual wrap is compared to a layer? Are you saying it might be better to use insulated copper wire?

Great work though.

I wound them counter clockwise with the copper as the inner wire and the iron as the outer wire

Only insulate the iron wire with fabric and the screw/bolt

Once you were to get all the way from top to bottom winding im calling that a layer

and at this point is where i would take a piece of fabric and wrap only one thin layer around all of that layer

then continue winding the wire from the bottom to the top creating a second layer.  I feel it imparitive that the only type of insulation used for cell is fabric or something comparable to that so the water can permeate it easily.

I used electrical tape at the top to secure my leads to the bolt while insulating them at the same time.

*** the two wires never touch throughout the whole coil *** just side by side with the iron insulated from the copper

***copper is bare and that is important as well***

hope this helps

Gj Joe, 10-16mA sounds pretty good.  Can you take a photo of your windings?

@freezer,

I'll make an attempt with my cell phone in a little bit.  I had the novel idea to hook it up to my joule theif and its lighting an led not real bright but enough.
