At about 10:30pm last night I made another cell.This time waiting for the last of the epson salts to be put on it before I stirred the mass.I added the last sprinkle of salt sub,then inserted the electrodes.An hour later I came back to it and sprinkled another round of salt sub on the cell.Electrodes were already inserted.This morning the voltage is holding at .52 volts(9:30 am).Last night the cell was .52 volts newly made(wet).I may have found what I was doing wrong .Improper insertion of the aluminum electrode into the mass.I was not using aluminum wire.I was using pull tabs from aluminum soda cans.I was laying them on top of the mass thinking that would be good enough.And pressing down a little.Last night I inserted that pull tab halfway into the mass and it made a big difference.




So I may have found what I was doing wrong.

I will test the cell later tonight and see what the voltage is.Around midnight.If it works I will make a couple more like it and see if I get the same results,then work on getting some magnesium metal strips to make some high powered cells with it.My tin can lid cells are getting .25 volts and .22 volts.They are dry by now.triffid

I have some ideas maybe on how to pulse these cells to get more power.I would like to use some of their energy to pulse them and get more power out.Afterall a teaspoon of space contains enough energy to boil away all the oceans of the world or so I have heard.triffid

At 11:19am this morning the latest cell is still at .52 volts.The glue has dried a lot!triffid




I am looking forward to a 24 hour reading.

I had made a cell with copper wire and pencil leads(two together) since the leads are so thin.I did not report it earlier because I only got .014 volts out of it when it was wet. Now thats its dry(over 72 hours),its voltage went up to .25 volts. I forgot how I stirred it.triffid
