Crystal Power CeLL by John Hutchison

Is bioluminescence a new word for phosphorescent bacteria and plankton? It sounds like the same thing. They sparkle when you dip your oar into the water. You can only see them when the night is very dark. It seems almost like peizo to me. the stirring being a kind of squeezing?

So, phosphorus...

Isn't that what dragons use? Don't they chew on phosphorous rich rocks then blast away?

I haven't slept enough the military base was bombing all night. grrr. Bring out the dragons and stop those dogs!

Is bioluminescence a new word for phosphorescent bacteria and plankton?

Sort of, yeah. Whereas phosphorescence in microorganisms technically (and originally) referred to
these organisms producing light in colours typical of phosphoric luminescence, in theory the term
bioluminescence covers every type of light production by living organisms. You see, it didn't take
"them" long to figure out that quite a number of "bioluminescent" organisms do in fact not use phosphorus
but rather other forms of luminescence, such as fluorescence.
But aside from the technicality, yes, the term "bioluminescence" is used to indicate just about any form
of light production by living organisms nowadays, while in the past it was indeed commonly referred to
as phosphorescence. Nowadays the use of the latter terminology seems to imply you actually know
something about it.

It sounds like the same thing.

It mostly is. The chemical mechanisms for achieving bioluminescence
are very similar among the different species that show the characteristic. Fireflies for example can "fire up" at will
if their reserves allow it, while photobacteria "light up" automatically but more so when agitated. Their "trigger" mechanism
works differently, the luminescence generally is quite similar.

Lol interesting idea... Piezo bacteria...
But aside from that, yep, you're right, that's the little buggers I'm talking about: the very dim glow that fishermen will confirm seeing so often
in the nightly seawater, especially in the boat wake, or where currents collide, or where there's a strong surf, so generally in the spots
where the water is agitated, they will glow with more intensity.
Their light production, based on observations of my little test batch of photobacteria, seems to be related to the amount of glucose in the
solution, and the amount of agitation.
Unfortunately I could not get them to multiply and increase their population density to a degree where I felt the light production
had actually increased. And their light production is so low that I really had to black out the room, allow my eyes to get used to
total darkness, and then pull out the bacteria; then I could see their light quite clearly. But if there was moonlight entering the room,
or streetlights, or even the reflected light from the greenhouses miles away (light pollution), I couldn't see any light from the bacteria.

So, phosphorus...

Isn't that what dragons use? Don't they chew on phosphorous rich rocks then blast away?

eheh... Is it? I thought they ate sulphurous rocks, then some potash, then a flint...?
Although phosphorus sounds like a good additive to spice that cocktail up a bit...
I've always found the recipe for Greek Fire a likely dragon party drink.

I haven't slept enough the military base was bombing all night. grrr.

Er... Oh? You'd think they'd have enough room to practise bombing in Talibania?
Why do they need to keep you awake?
Or is it the Men in Black trying to frustrate your OU efforts, perhaps?

I found this on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phu2vZIPvhw

I followed the link on there and got this picture.  It looks pretty bright.  I am not sure the video is of the same thing, or just an led in a bulb but the photo is cool.

Lumen
Igneolumens Aegobathysulcus


This creature, known commonly as lumen, normally lives in the depths of the Marianas Trench in the Pacific Ocean near the tropical island of Guam. The organism provides its own light through a process of bioluminescence whose purpose is not yet fully understood. Lumen feeds off of the decomposing carcasses of sea creatures which drift to the bottom as well as krill.

Lumen is believed to be related to the rhizostomae order of sea jellies, since species of this order have neither tentacles nor other structures at the bell's edges. This organism incorporates a plexus of autonomic nerves and exhibits a curious peristaltic reflex to haptic stimuli.

There have been reported sightings of lumen which have grown to be up to three yards in diameter.

This lumen is contained here in a specially manufactured pressurized barometric capsule to simulate the extreme conditions under which the lumen normally live, over 1,000 times the atmospheric pressure at sea level.

This fine specimen was captured by Capt. Lysander Starr Jameson of the H.M.C.S. Yarmouth, who lead the submarine expedition to the depths of the Marianas Trench.

i have made a cell, that i believe works like john hutchisons.
it produces about half a volt, at 0.5 uA.
it is 1/16 of an inch thick......


i think that what the wonder-hutch has, is 2 metal terminals, that are covalently bonded together by a silicon and oxygen base.

all covalently bonded atoms SHARE THE SAME MAGNETIC FIELD.
and if both metals share the same magnetic field, than their "magnetisms" mix.
creating an electric potential, that is easily mixed together into electricity.


my research has indicated that electronegativity is STRONGLY related to the performance.
such as getting good results if you mix an element with a high electronegativity, with an other element that has a low electronegativity.



on top of this, is that the wonder-hutch might be adding barium atoms to the material that binds the 2 metals together.

barium is a heavier element. and has an agreeable electronegativity with some other element in the mix.

witherite stones are common in canada, where the wonder-hutch lives.
witherite has barium atoms in it!


john hutchison turns rocks, into rocks !

Well, that's not what Hutchison said about it himself.

He said his cells consist of:
- Rochelle Salt
- Pyrite (crushed)
- Galena (crushed)
- perhaps added Germanium diodes (crushed)
- mix heated, melted, poured in any type of metal container but preferably silver
- central electrode inserted, high voltage DC applied during cool-down

He also indicated that he used the pebbles and rocks in his "dirt cheap" version
as cheap source of "exotic silicates".

But nowadays he's too busy with his new friend Paris Hilton to do much of anything,
it seems. 

In any case, welcome to the Crystal Cell group on this forum.
Your cell output sounds like it is in the same ballpark as the output
some of us have been able to get out of our various Crystal Cell versions.
Some of those made by members of our little group here actually put
out a considerably higher voltage at something around 1 Volt, but the
amperage part is what we really want to increase. We have been able
to get values to around 2 or 3 milliamps so far, in various tests.

I would like to hear your ideas on increasing amperage.
Would you mind trying to outline them a little more clearly than you have
done in your previous post? Thanks.

Koen
