hello to all

has everybody been orking hard and is there any updates to share ith me anybody? my cpu stack cell is unbelievably resiliant and so easy to replace parts its basicaly some cpus about 20 of them stacked verry thinly together and the pins are all hooked upto a big bismuth bolt or copper  encased inside a az61 metal plate and shut screued tight and rubberbits put over the seals its around a volt still and holding i had to take it off the motor after guess.....A MONTH!!!!!!! it as still pouering the mini fan albeit verry sloly take off for half a ady its spinning again anybody tried making small button cells hundreds and fitting them in a very small tube?  also ho are the sealant cells doing and can i have a phot of them as i thnk ive got the rong sealant orange but probably not the righ one but good nes is some of my cells are still good and are totaly h2o free even if not as strong as you guys cells also i opened one up its not corroded but something strange has happened ith the metal ts completely bonded ith the tube and they have intermixed to some degree and its forming ierd crystals ithout a chemicaal reaction also my sealant cells have ssetteled around half a volt or 0.7  volts ith bismuth and other stuff aded i dont re use any of my cells as to not contaminate and lose composition or original cells so they are all made once never recycled have you sealed your sealant cells amnd completely dehumidified them? also ive gotten ridof alot of my high voltage stuff i couldnt pay the bills as it as sending my bills sky high so i use 9 volts and tazers to set them  ould have replied earlier but i as asdhing my carpe/rug and had to get in a car ith afriend called gordon and it ould be ok but his fatass takes uo all the car ished he ould move oout his mothers loft and do something meaningful instead of making model airoplanes its just creepy

Hello to all;

Has everyone been working hard and are there any updates to share with
me?...Anyone?

My CPU stack battery cell is unbelievably resilient and so easy to replace parts.
It is basically some microprocessor IC cpu's, about 20 of them stacked together
very thinly and the pins are all hooked up to a big bismuth bolt or copper,
encased inside a AZ61 metal plate and shut screwed tight and rubber bits
put over the seals.  It is around 1.0 volt and holding. I had to take the motor
off...after, guess how long?.....A MONTH!!!!!!! It is still powering a minifan,
albeit very slowly. I disconnected it for half a day and it is up and spinning
once again... [AZ61 is a Magnesium/Aluminum wrought metal alloy used in
industry]

Has anyone tried making small button cells by the hundreds and fitting them
into a very small tube?

Also how are the sealent cells doing? Can I have a photograph of them as I
think. Have I got the wrong sealant? Orange is probably not the right one
but the positive part is some of my cells are still running and are totally H2O
free, even if not as strong as you guy's cells are. Also, I opened one up. It is
not corroded, but something strange has happened with the metal. It has
completely bonded with the tube and they have intermixed to some degree
and its forming iridescent crystals without a chemical reaction. Also my
sealant cells have settled at around half a volt or 0.7 volts with bismuth
and other stuff I added.  I don't reuse any of my cells as to not contaminate
and lose composition of original cells, so they are all made once and never
recycled. Have you sealed your sealant cells and completely dehumidified
them? Also I have gotten rid of alot of my HV high voltage stuff.  I could
not pay the bill as it was sending my utility bill sky high. So I now use nine
volt batteries and a Tazer to polarize and align them.

I would have replied earlier but I am putting adhesives on my carpet/rug
and had to get into a car with a friend named Gordon and that would be OK,
but his fat beep takes over all the car. Wish he would move out of his
mothers loft and do something meaningful instead of making model airplanes
all day. Its just creepy. [the future boeing aircraft design manager?]

Has anybody heard that basalt is petroelectric and calcium chloride is also
good and limestone and quartz is slightly so. How about if you were to mix
these together with a binder like Rochelle salt instead of using piezocrystals.
I've measure barium titanate and it is also petroelectric if you guys could mix
these together it may make a good cell.  I am not sure, I have not tried this
idea yet to be honest, but if you could make it it should be successful to
some degree.

Also, how are the cells going Ian and others? Also, what has happened to users:
koen, sutra and others that have not been active recently? I guess everybody
needs to take a break at some point, after all I've been at this for five years.

@Mr brooks
How are your latest cells going? Is your tantalum cell still working?
and have you tried to connect all your functioning cells, old and just-made, to
see if the voltage will rise?  I have I am satisfied with the result. Also what do
you think about my Taser polarizer design.  Low amps and high volts should be
OK. And I'm drawn to Mr brook's cells for some reason. Like they are quite good
and stable maybe we should go forward from this idea and refine it a bit.  I will
reply when I have something more refined to communicate.

Also how do you get photos and diagrams on this site.  I have been trying
for a months and it does not work.

Hi das,
That was the angle I thought easiest.
I still think it is worth trying.

I love that your cells are making crystals inside them!!

About the pictures,

I do not know what the problem is, but are you making them small enough?
If your picture is too large it will be rejected.
You should run the pictures through an image program. (I use gimp which is free) and change the size of the image to be no bigger than 600 pixels wide.
Then save it as (I usually save it as a jpeg) and when it is the size I said, it is usually quite small file size and there is no problem.

I am glad to hear of your progress.
I am winding stubblefield coils and not mixing rocks these days, but since I used to do that, I love following what you are doing.

I’m always happy to hear from anyone doing anything that could give some insight into how these work, or how to improve them! And while I can’t speak for everyone here, I still consider myself a newbie. I’ll have to do more than light an L.E.D. to consider myself advanced! Anyway, interesting stuff you did with the comb idea. It seems like all the crystal cells have a galvanic stage they go through early on, then the output settles to whatever it’s going to continue putting out. Like Ian said before, the galvanic stage seems to let them self-polarize to a degree. So maybe a slight galvanic element at first is a good thing. Try adding some crushed minerals into the tile cement, and sealing it up so that moisture can’t get into the cement, and see how it does. I like your Joule Thief rig by the way. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the translation.

I really appreciate that you like my cells, I’m just trying my best with what I have to work with. My sealant cells are doing alright, they are unchanged right now, the maglite sealant cell is still at around 320 or so Milli-Volts. I have not opened the maglite cell to look inside, but another sealant cell I have, has also developed some weird crystal growths, like what you’ve noticed. I’ve included a picture of the inside, all the white crystals inside it were not there at first, but grew over about a week, if I remember right. I also remembered the brand of sealant that I bought, it’s K&W sealer, I think it’s listed as being for a radiator. Unfortunately I threw away the can some time back. I got this kind because sodium silicate was listed on the back of it. I’ll snap a picture of the can the next time I’m in Wal-Mart. My Tantalum cell, had a piece of tantalum as the positive electrode, there wasn’t any tantalum in the mix, but it’s completely died. I don’t know what happened, it’s probably the mixture. I still think tantalum would work well as an ingredient or electrode, I’ll try and make another cell using the tantalum electrode when I can get to it. I laughed when I pictured electrical flashes coming out of your room, and then a huge bill arriving! I think a taser would work well enough, it’s low amperage like you said. As far as hooking my cells together, I can’t right now because most of my clamp leads are broken, I need to buy some more and try that out. A while back I did connect a bunch together, and I think I was getting about 7 volts, before the electrical series resistance caught up with me. I’ll try it again when I get some more leads. I think I’ll give some thought to that button cell idea of yours too. Good thinking!

As for photos, I do like Jeanna said and try to make them small. I think 300 KB is the limit for picture data size. I use a Mac, so I have not tried Gimp, the program she recommends, but it looks useful. Here is the link to the website to download it. http://www.gimp.org/ You’ll need to export the images as a jpeg file, and make their dimensions smaller, about 600 pixels wide like Jeanna recommended sounds good. You can only add a few to each post too, so if you have a bunch, you’ll have to make several posts, and add a few images to each. Hope this helps, I would love to see some of your cells!

@Everyone

Okay, l want to give an update on the cell I last posted about. The one I made on 5/29/2010, below are the ingredients again. I left it on a 1K ohm resistor for 72 hours, at first it ran the voltage down to 150 milli-volts, and it held there, pushing 150 milli-volts through the resistor. After 72 hours, it had doubled to a steady 300 milli-volts, this looks like a very good sign to me. Since if I’m not mistaken, a standard galvanic cell would demonstrate a linear discharge curve when under load, and would not rise in voltage over time. So hopefully, this is a good indication that this cell is a true crystal cell! Right now it has recovered to 1.127 Volts 1.01 Milli-Amps. I need to find some more lepidolite, I just had a small piece, and it seems to have made a difference. So I recommend that you give this mineral a try.

Zinc Container, Carbon Rod
The ingredients in rough percentages are:
26% Lepidolite (Potassium, Lithium, Aluminum, Silicate, Hydroxide, Fluoride)
20% Black Tourmaline
20% Pyrite
15% Alum
10% Concrete
4% Plaster of Paris
5% Water

Also I made another cell with a zinc container and carbon rod, I keep using these materials because right now, they are cheap and easy for me to get, by taking apart batteries. Capacitors take me about an hour to disassemble, Zinc Carbon batteries about 5 minutes. Anyway, so I just poured some crushed pyrite and bornite inside. Then compressed the material with cotton, and sealed the top. I stuck it in a bag with silica gel for about 5 days, and right now it’s giving about 300 milli-volts, 0.24 Milli-Amps. I just wanted to try a really basic approach to making a crystal cell, no water, no sealers, just mineral material, and it works. It’s not super, but I just wanted to give it a try. So hope this helps, or is of interest. Good luck everyone!
