Crystal Power CeLL by John Hutchison

Don't feel bad.... I fell for the HHO used w/ your car scam.
Trust me, I thoroughly tested this, so to all if you are thinking about it...don't waste your time!

G'day all,

@triffid: Never mind mate, there will be other hoaxes you can experiment with. 

@All:
           I've viewed the latest JH vids (thanks BRAHMA for the link) and I agree with Bill, there is not alot there we didn't already know. I seem to remember seeing most of it in text form some time back anyway.
One thing I did find interesting was the first reference ( coming from the JH blurb) about cell reversal.
Hey, nothing new there, hands up all those here who have observed the same phonomenon in their cells. And who is that idiot that JH sent his cells to for testing? C'mon John, send me a couple of cells and I'll give them a real test.

As promised, here are some test results you may find interesting.
On 15th Sept I built Cell 16. This was one of the first cells to use crushed silcon solar cell as one of the ingredients.
After 12hrs of ES polarization it's O/C voltage was 0.89V.
Over the next 2 days the cells output was intermittently disharged into a 55 Farad supercap.
This was achieved by using a 555 timer circuit and a relay. The cell was shorted to the cap for 7 seconds and then allowed to recover for 39 seconds.

Start test:  17/9/08  09:45:00          Vcap = 1.0mV
End  test:  19/9/08  09:30:00           Vcap = 0.262V

After the cyclic load test there was 14.41 Coulombs of charge in the cap which also means that if the cap was discharged in 1 second it would deliver 14.41 Amps.
The cell was removed from the test rig and after 40 minutes it's o/c voltage had increased to 1.015V.
I have found that some cells get stronger when you load them.
As of today ( 27/9/08) the cells voltage is 1.030V.

Using a cell I made a few days ago, incorporating some foam, the cap reached a voltage of 0.72V in a 12 hour test period. That equates to  39.6 Coulombs of charge. The cell is pumping away still as I write this. I'll keep you posted on that one.

Thats about it for now, I hope the above info will be of use to you.

Catch you later

Thanks guys for the moral support.I was glad to do the experimenting that lead to me realizing it was a hoax.I did feel rather taken in by by it.But discovering the truth is what its really all about.Just like the HHO thing,
dumping 12 volts into a single cell is always wasteful of energy(the wasted energy turns into heat).It does take more energy than what it gives out(or back).But I wouldn't know that if I hadn't been (and others like me)experimenting.Brute force electrolysis of water is a dead horse.But another form of electrolysis may not be.triffid

I put together a crytal radio set from radio shack and got .04 volts with my voltmeter from the output.Triffid

Sorry I should proofread better,thats a crystal radio set I measured .04 volts from.Triffid
