Working Air Battery

@Jeanna,

Yes, there's two Mag outputs the plate is one an the mag ribbon is the other. The copper wire is wound between the two about 15-20 turns wide spaced. The ribbon is about 11 turns. I have Illustrated this picture hope it helps. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Very interesting.
Yes, that does help.

I assume there is a difference in either volts or amps if you only use the  mg ribbon?
How much is it for both with
just the mg ribbon to the copper and
just the block to the copper?

Thank you,

jeanna

The mag ribbon and copper alone give 1.3v@62mA

The plate and copper are 1.3v@65mA

All together it's holding steady 1.3v@103mA

Thanks Pete,

I am surprised about the block.
Mine only puts out about 2 or 3mA


I think you must have magnesium ingot.
I saw that for sale and I now wish I had bought the ingot. It will probably outlast any ribbon just because of its shape and mass.

thanks for the test results,

Energy/weight
watt hour /Kg   Practical 1300 per Kg (theoretical 6000-8000)

we couldn't we build a composite battery 2 cell in one . High amp copper/scrap aluminum , then low amp just to raise the voltage up a bit copper /carbon that way we don't need big carbon rod , only the small recycled ones from carbon zinc battery .

So the cell look like this big chunk of copper the right size so the can will cover both sides of the copper plate , and aluminum/copper/carbon  (/ = electrolyte ). Lets not be wasteful try to use as much of the can as possible.
