Crystal Power CeLL by John Hutchison

  @ Fauto:
  You are using an electrolyte, the wet paper towel. 
   If you did not need an electrolyte you can just have the two metals touching, but that is not the case.
  We are working towards a dry, solid electrolyte, instead of the wet paper towel, which only makes for a wet galvanic cell, causing the same oxidation process. Sealing the cell with glue only slows the reaction.

You might be right. I am testing if the oxidized layer will really work. It needs some form of electrolyte so water is the one in the test. So technically I am using electrolyte.

If the oxidation really avoids corrosion it may be a good solution. Time will tell just like it is telling me with all my tests. This is my 34 formula so I am really observing the real thing.

Fausto - Love your work and your vids are exceptional.  You are exactly right that the oxidation layer will protect your anode.  Regardless what happens between the metals, the metals themselves will not be sacraficed.  Attached is an illustration of work I started back in June and continue to work with.  The layer can be made to be replaced as it gets totally consumed.  Many very inexpensive materials work very well.  You are on the right track in my opinion.

This is exactly why I used magnesium and carbon for my earth battery that is still alive after 3 years, although, not continuous use.  It is somewhat galvanic but not totally and puts out about 2 volts and 20 mA's.

    Bill and All:
   Somewhat galvanic is a good way to put it.  I do know what you might mean by that.
As always, if a cell lasts a long time...even if its running on pure water... Like this Japanese guy has just invented a new water cell, of several different sizes. that Just uses water in the cell and can light leds very bright.
   Nothing to do with the JH cells, just thought to say that even water has a place.
