aluminum can and copper wire batterys

Greetings,

Update on the Pill Jars.

I experimented a bit with my NaNtucket Cell Last night.
I guess I am doing Copper from the outside of the pennies to Zinc on the Outside of the Bolt.
Anyways, I discovered that it ran at higher Volts and Amps with No Water... Just the Damp Paper Towel in Between.

So I changed the Pill Jars Running the JT to a tiny bit of water at the bottom to soak up into the paper towel.
It's running brighter and a bit more stable too ( I had to jostle the Jars from time to time before to keep em going)

Big M,
            Yep, the cap must take energy from the battery on the down time when the JT isn't using it... then adds to the next pulse when needed.

I imagine so, too.  Would that be why the toroids work to well?

             Might be true if an acid is used, but water?... isn't there metal found on ShipWrecks 100's of years old?

Please keep in mind there are no acids in sea water, either.  In tap water, there are actually things like phosphates, sulfates, chlorides, nitrates, etc., in trace amounts.  Enough to cause chemical changes in refined, smelted and forged metals, though.

              Interesting... the Edison batteries.
              I'm sure he knew how to make them as that was about the only source of Electric Power at that point in time.

I remember later:  Edison built or improved on the work of earlier electrical engineers like Marconi or Stubblefield and others, if he knew of them.  Some of his batteries were also earth batteries, and good ones, too.  That's why they could sometimes last decades.  I imagine his application determined what he did with his batteries.  The invention cited by old man was a evidently free-standing one.

@tom and @all
Here's another that's just as simple:

It's made with silver chloride, which may not be easy to come by.
