Does  a galvanic  reaction  between   magnesium and  carbon  give off much hydrogen?   Or any other  gass?


I was thinking  that  it would take  alot of space   to make sure   your  cells  don't  short out between  themselves .

Then  I started  wondering   if  it could be done inside .   In separate  cells . 


I  guess if   the reaction makes little of no  hydrogen .......  cheap  plastic  storage  containers  could be used .

If   the  reaction does give  off  quite a bit of hydrogen .......then we  would need to  make   better boxes .......and we would have to come up  with a way to  " burn "  the   hydrogen



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

does  anyone know   of how  " clean  "  this  reaction is ......   there would  be no wisdom  in   spending  a bunch  of  money   to  get off the grid  if we  were making  hazardous  waste that  would   cost a small forutne  to get rid of .

I am  wondeing  if we can make out  own   carbon electrodes from charcoal .

I think the  critical  thing would be  the  connection  to the wire  .

If  any  copper  in the wire  was exposed to water  it would create a mini  cell  within the cell .......and eat away at the copper   until  it corroded all the way though .  ending the output of  the cell .


I was thinking  that   a piece of  carbon fiber cloth  maybe  3 or 4 ft long  1 ft wide   would  do the  trick nicely

you  would  also need some  silicone  rubber  and  some  plastic wire ties .     

The  idea would  be to squeegy   the  silicone  rubber   onto a section  of the  carbon  fiber cloth .   
An end of the cloth  would be good .........but   if   it was away from the end   then  both ends   could be  used for   the connection        I am thinking that    the   cloth clossest to the wire  will have  the least  resistance  ..... so 2 ends  connected the the lowest resistance is  better .


I jjust   updated the  idea .......... rather than make a big mess   with  silicone  rubber   

cut  a stip  of  carbon  fiber  cloth    just big  enough  to  wrap  about ALL  the  exposed   copper on the  exposed end of your   connection wire ..... 
saturarate  this  small piece of  carbon fiber  cloth   with silicone  rubber  and wrap the  end  of  the   copper .

make  sure that ALL  exposed copper is  covered .

secure  the  wet  carbon fiber   in place  with a few   wire ties .

place  the   whole   thing on  the   larger  piece of  carbon fiber  and  try to make  an even layer   of carbon fiber  around   the   original  wrapping .         

Secure  with  LOTS of  wire ties before  the   ANY of the  silicone  rubber  dries .

The    carbon fiber that   is  pushed into   secure mechanical    contact  with the  copper will conduct  well .
So pull those wire ties tight  .......and  use enough  of them to make sure that  all the  cloth  in contact  with the  wire is  under  pressure 
I have not actually tried this  with  copper / carbon fiber  ..............but I have used it for years   for outdoor  electrical  connections ......havn't  had one of them  fail  yet .

@Gary,  ?what about a box of gouging rods, metal outside carbon center.peal off what metal you dont want.and use that for a contact make a nice bundle of carbon.4 inch in diameter 8-12 inch long?would that work Andy
