Guys n Gals,

I don't mean to but in but I've been reading this and had to leave a comment. Unless you are using distilled water, your experiments may be invalid. Municipal fresh water supplies usually contain at least some dissolved calcium carbonates. Some places, like here on the east coast USA, the water can be as hard as a rock. Aquarium nuts like me know this and account for it as some species love it and others hate it. Point is in this posting, that it is a salt. Also, I'll bet most of you, like me, have neos that are in nickel jackets. I'm not invalidating any of the theories or ideas being presented here, but be carefull of your experimental setups. You can buy magnets that are jacketed in black rubber or you can paint your magnets with something less chemically reactive - like acrylic paint. In my area, you can buy distilled water at the grocery store. Make sure that you aren't misunderstanding what is really happening.

Thanks for the info, I love it, you made my day

I think that as you mentioned the voltage produced is through galvanic reaction but I haven't tried it with distilled water yet.  First thing is that this setup is very capricious and the magnets needed to be adjusted just right to get the voltage up to this value, when the paper dried the voltage would go down then back up and when the paper dried out completely it would finally drop down to just a few mV.

With repeated moistening of the paper the voltage values fluctuated and would often be less than the value shown in the picture because I accidentally moved the setup.  Another thing is that I never measured the amperage to see if there is any decent amount, if  I use it to charge the cap mentioned earlier it seems to hold it's voltage longer but eventually drops as the paper dries and the cap leaks it's voltage.

I checked  Ebay  for  magnets  that might  be good for testing this .............they didn't have anything even close .

Please do get U magnets. The effect i am describing is based around the closed loop of the U magnet and keeper. You always get more volts. Amps are just the movement, all you have to do to get the circulating magnets out, is give them something to be attracted to, like a coil, then you will have amps.

Listen, the magnetic force contains the electrons. The paper/plastic slows them down and builds them up, dry or wet the magnetic force still goes through no matter what, and builds up no matter what. You can say its a chemical reation all you want, but the truth is magnetism has trouble passing through less dense objects, so they are slowed down, and they build up. You can prove this with a simple magnet and iron fillings.
