Crystal Power CeLL by John Hutchison

@ Das Aloda Bullspit

Hi Das, I have tried poking different rocks with a meter. I don't have any granite, but I can get a small reading on a piece of pyrite. I've got a C battery size cell in the freezer right now, I scraped together some pyrite and stuff I still had laying around and made another cell. I also made another sealant cell, I was truing to get more power out of it than my other sealant cells, which I did, but it's still rather low, at first it was over a volt, then it dropped slowly to about 400 milli-volts. My other sealant cells all hover around 300-350 milli-volts, so I guess it's something to do with the sealant that I'm using. This new cell puts out about 120 micro-amps, which is better than my previous sealant cells. Also, something interesting has happened. I have a little joule thief in my bedroom, which is being powered by a crystal cell I made back in May, if I remember right, but I've had it hooked to this joule thief for about 2 month's now. A 47 Micro-farad capacitor is in parallel with the cell, it fills then discharges, which makes the L.E.D. Blink. Just recently the blinking speed has tripled, which means the crystal cell is putting out more power obviously. It has continued blinking faster for about three days now, and is still going strong. It does seem that crystal cells get better with time! So anyway, Keep up the good work!

@ mr brook uat is the cell that is pouering the jou.e thief uith the 47 cap made from is it the same as your sealant cells or is it something else? also the neu sealant cell youve made uat have you added to it is it the same as the others or is it using a different sealant? is there any neu mixes you uold advise? and finaly the cell that flashes the blue led for 5 seconds is that still uorking? try stacing up the sealant cells to see if the voltage goes up and also try to measure resistance do ue kno uat the ideal resistance for these cells is? thankyou

@ian
could yopu post some photos of the best performing cells running loads ie clock or something else and some individual pics of some of the cells that uere shoun on page 28 please and also i heard youve made some neu cells hou are they holding out are tey any good and your cement button cells do they still uork also they could be used just like a uatch battery if you did it right en ue find the right mix these could replace the kinetic uatch and the atmos uatches i have a feub cells that are just basalt and granite uith similar electrodes soldered on to them ie copper + and copper- these produce about 0.2-.04 volts around a bombshell size if only there uas a efficient voltage amplification system to triple the voltage as its neraly luays stable exept near the vernal equinox they start to do uierd things the basalt cells they get mutch ueaker maybe that is uat moray used or something..oh and also the r salt and sodium s cell hve you tried some of those experiments i said does it have a linear increase in pouer to temperature ratio?

@all keep posting results on your cells and pictures and information ue can only realy improve on things uen ue share ideas amirite?

Hi Das, the cell that is powering the joule thief is made of three AA size battery containers, which are zinc and they have a carbon rod. I wired them all in series, and taped them together. Here are the ingredients: Pyrite, Bornite, Bixbyite, Concrete, Plaster of Paris, Black Tourmaline, water. Just add enough water to make them concrete and plaster harden. I have observed the voltage output going up while this cell is under load, so I'm hopeful that this is a real crystal cell, I leave it powering that joule thief day and night.
I tried connecting two sealant cells like you said, and the voltage did go up.

G'day all.

Not much to report at the moment. The series of heat tests on cell 17-2010 finally killed it.  Although it still puts out 10uA at room temp but barely gets to 90uA when heated to 70 oC. I think thats because rochelle salt doesn't work if it is melted too many times.

When I get back to building again I'll be working on a 2 component cell, that is only 2 ingredients. I've had a lot of time to think about this and I'm sure I'll get some good results. I'll keep you all posted.

@mrbr00k5 and Das,  keep it going guys.

catch you later.

Hi everybody! Wowsers, what's all this activity about?
Last time I was here it was just me and one or two others...

Hey, and Ian is back too! Hi Ian!

So, what's been happening since I popped my head in the door last time?

Has anyone else managed to produce a working "crystal cell" yet?

Mine are still in storage but when I last tested a few they were still working.

Sorry to have been out of sight for so long, but there was all kinds of stuff going on.
And for a while I couldn't really surface as I was involved with development of a
device that needed to be kept hush-hush. you know, legal issues and all. Sorry to
say I cannot divulge any more about that one, aside from the fact that it did work
but is not going to solve our global energy crisis just yet.
Recently have been involved in a small and secretive group working on Tritium-based
power supplies, some very nice output there. But of course our national and inter-
national governments will not allow private persons to experiment with such stuff,
so that will most likely not see the marketplace for another decade or two at least.
(Not that it is really very dangerous at all, nor very difficult to handle such material
properly. But Tritium is "radioactive" so govts tend to get a hissing fit when they hear
about it. Sad, really, because it's actually a very good and clean power source...)

But back on topic, how's the Crystal Cell replications coming along people?

Kind regards,
Koen
