Well none that you can detect. You did wrap the cell in paper right? This can be akin to an electrolytic cap when it gets hurt.  But in the cap it can repair itself so to speak. Could be the same and the amount of surface area also needs to be included. One test could be to hook opposite sides of the battery and use a clamp like the hose clamp and see if there is degradation in the cell s normal voltage that way.

Whatever happened to John B. and his semiconductor scheme? I was very interested in that ans nothing came of it... Hmm...

@jbignes5


I wondering the same thing, what happen to John's semiconductor and his other cells?


The cells could be dead and that's why he's not posting, or he could be too busy making money from his videos and books, lol.


Personally I thought most of his cells were just galvanic, especially the Alum cells. Some cells he mentions one days and the next he wants us to not mention it again. He says he's got a Marcus Reid cell and is studying it but i'm starting to wonder if the Reid cell is the real thing? I sometimes think the hype about bedini can be a little too much, don't get me wrong he's done some good stuff, but he's still just another person.




I'm now wonder what's next? Where do we go from here? do we start powering cars or light bulbs? Do we treat the cells like batteries or do we treat them as a part of a circuit component? Is there another crystal mix out their that makes a even better cell than what any of us have? The season is here and the work on these cells may slow down a bit, but the idea's will still flow. Lets keep up the good work! 

 I think John is to stoned these days to really stay focused on his work. As for the cells we are building, I think we still have a long way to go as to finding what combinations work the best. The worst thing is that it is going to take a long time to test each cell before we know which is best and or how long they will last.
The pressure aproach is very promissing but more testing needs to be done.

I did see the epsoms salts tests and I knew that epsoms salts was the biggest component. When mixed with the potassium and carbon they form thin needle like growths. I think these are the key crystals we should be looking at... Carbon is really amazing when added to these cells. I really need a microscope to show the crystals.


*Update* The straight Sodium Carbonate cell with graphite and aluminum electrodes is forming crystals on the bottom of the cell. They are getting to be about 1 mm across now. Slowly adding water to the top of the cell allows the water to filtrate trough the cell and stay in the bottom of the cell.  Very very interesting to say the least. They are solid crystals and clear but I have yet to be able to get to them because they are on the bottom of the cell. I can't wait to dissect this one lol!
