half a volt from 1/16th of an inch.

[nitinnun]

it produces about half a volt, at 0.5 uA.


a thin layer of copper,
a thin layer of dry polymer,
and a thin layer of steel.
all 3 together equaling a little under 1/16th of an inch thick.

pressed together by a 7/16th of an inch wide space.


it works better than this, when the glue dries on the metal.
because that causes the polymer, to covalently bond to the metals.
so that the polymer and the metals share the same magnetic field, through the covalent bonds.


i have not tried stacking together multiple layers.
because i'm interested in building a bedini motor now.

building a more efficient model, than what i have seen others build so far.

Hello all,

@nitinnun

What sort of polymer do you use? PVC, nylon, ......

I suggest you stick with the polymer "battery"
The bedini motor has been replicated by the best without success, heck why am I bothering, I always say the best way to learn the impossible is to try it.

What I don't understand, why so many people here are building such batteries. What should be the advantage of such batteries. These are just normal batteries, aren't they?
If you take 2 different metals, you will always get a voltage, this is how a battery works.

[nitinnun]

cells like the one above work, even after being shorted out for weeks straight.

my oldest rock hard cells are more than a year old. and still produce electricity.
polymer keeps its shape for a very, very long time. so i expect that they would work for decades.


it is not a battery. it is its very own power source.
and when connected in series or parallel, they stack.
