Crystal Power CeLL by John Hutchison

Well well I pop off to Geneva for half a week and you guys
start doing cool experiments while I'm not around eh?

(sorry, took me a lil while to read up )

Nice going.
So how are those new cells of yours measuring now guys?

I'd like to suggest that, once the Rochelle based material appears
to have solidified, you place it in a tupperware box with a lot
of dehumidifier pellets to get as much as water vapour out as possible.
Or at least, that's what I do
Need to go check up on my latest cells tomorrow, haven't seen them
for a week... I left them hooked up to a battery, let's hope they're alright
And I should have some Rochelle salt around somewhere, good time to dig it up.

Keep up the crystallisation!

Hi all

the last cell made with 2 bottle cans got apart.

I took the inside crystal and melt it again in a .38 bullet shell with an iron paper clip wire as central electrode.

I repeated all tests and conditions as for the previous one with the difference that polarity remained constant.

Done further tests as follows:

initial output after 1 day drying: 0.327 V

1 night short cut, in a drying environment: the result was 0.022 V

2 nights no short cut inÃ,  a drying environment: 0.150 V dropping fast during testing, stabilizing in 30 secs at 0.082 V +/- 1 oscillation.

Let's not talk about Amperage....a shy 0.3 microAmps....

The cell's volatage drops fast if shorted and rises up as fast if freed...so there should be some electricity "creation" in it but not sufficiently syncronized...

I'll try to crush some diodes and include them in the mix....

I'll keep you posted...

Ciao

I think I may have procured some Germanium

I think I may have procured some Germanium 

This store might help idk.  That stuff seems quite expensive.

@Freezer: THANK YOU!
That is a great site, I can't believe I had not found it before!
It looks like they ship Ge in (&from) Europe, they've actually got pure Ge powder,
and they sell it in small and affordable amounts!
