Working Air Battery

[Bizzy]

Good morning Bizzy - very impressive!
See below for the PVC we talked about yesterday.  I was out of conduit so I used threaded rod instead, I much prefer the conduit.  Let's share numbers: Open circuit voltage for two cells (2.25v).
Voltage with load (1.5v).  Amperage while running fan motor (165ma).  I would think your amperage would be higher.
Keep up the good work!

Hi Brad
You have a very nice set up yourself! I hope to test your wire idea versus my copper tube design either today or tomorrow. So we can start comparing our results with a less variables.
As afar as amps goes I do know I am producing more just by the fact that I am using magnesium and carbon but like I mentioned I don't trust my readings enough to actually post them yet. I'll just say that it is not in milliamps.

You've got me excited.  I am not very confident in my reading sometimes.  When I doubt my readings I use 2 multimeters (1 analog, 1 digital) for verification.

You just reminded me, that I have an analog ampmeter on my alternator testing table. With a little rewiring I may be able to use it it to double check my amp readings on my multimeter.
merci vielmals

Hi Bizzy and B_rads very impressive work you've doing nice nice. Is Charcoal same as carbon?
Thanks

I beleive that charcol is a source of carbon but not very good. Coal would be a better source of carbon and have been experimenting with that in my earth batteries before the snow arrived.
