Working Air Battery

[luishan]

Would you try to make an Air Zinc battery.
The battery has more powerful and high density.
You can check it out below link.

Thank you lasersaber.
This is really great work.

From the first time you introduced the magnesium ribbon to this equation, you have added more and more to the possibilities of these batteries.
I am so impressed.
I am also very pleased that you continue to share your experiments with this crowd.

Oh, and thanks for the next idea on what to do with the rest of those soft cores I bought!

@all

I got a flash idea last night before going to bed , i tried to imagine how NS would to it if he was in my shoes .

To do this , i need to restrict my self to what i have around and not buy anything , and be of my time .

After thinking about it a bit , i took a hard drive plater for use as a anode (palladium is way up there with gold ) it should not deteriorate plus its potential 0 or .05 v compared to copper.35 this means any battery using a copper in the pair could be replaced by the disc and have .3 volts more .

With a wet paper between the disc and a piece of aluminum foil i got .880 and i also tried steel .840. I am contemplating making a iron /palladium cell , that should last long ...

I bet i can use a plater on each side of a steel pancake coil and maybe separate the iron coil windings with a insulated copper wire and pulse that coil with the power of the battery , i have many plater so it can have many layers ...

I got my air battery to light a white led today!!

It was more of a struggle, because the carbon rods broke when I took them out of the ground, so they are 4 1/2 inches short.
They are 1/4 inch diameter too so kind of narrow.

I did as lasersaber did and wrapped the carbon with cotton cloth and then wrapped the magnesium around that.

I did not get this to start with air, so I misted the cloth with water.
It went on and is still on 2 hours later.

I will wait and see, because while putting masking tape around over the magnesium is a great idea for tightness and great contact, if it does not start up, I will break the magnesium ribbon if I remove the tape.
So, that is waiting.

Anyway...
yeay!

The joule thief is one that has a tor-23 toroid and 2, 20(?)  turn secondaries with a led each. one is red and the other is white.

How about using an Ace bandage for tightness and great contact, instead of tape?
