My panel of 30 cells were dry enough for me to work with.This time I checked each cell to see if it was working properly(by working could it produce over a volt?).I marked the cells that did not.I only had eight good cells out of thirty.A couple of the good ones popped up to 1.3 volts.
I went ahead and added more morton salt sub,epson salts,more salt sub,Then without mixing it at all I added another glob of glue on top.I did this to all the bad cells.Now I have to wait another 48 hours to let it dry.Then I will see if I was able to fix the bad cells at all.Since the electrodes were already stuck in the first batch of dried glue in the bad cells I decided no more mixing was required.Since I had good results with not mixing,just layering.I decide to layer all the bad cells(22 of them).triffid




I may be wrong in my calculations but my point really was don't expect to make too much power out of these for a few years(like 50 more?).

This epsiode of FRINGE mentions rock batteries powerful enough to rip a hole in the universe.   http://www.hulu.com/watch/321420/fringe-enemy-of-my-enemy  Its mentioned in the last half of the show. so now they are in the popular culture mainstream?  triffid

I looked at my panel today.I used alligator clips without wires to make connections.I need to let the whole thing dry another week it seems.
I did manage to connect three dry cells in series to hook up the voltmeter to and try to light up some leds.I managed to get about 1.9 volts only to see it drop down 1.5 volts.None of the leds would light up.If I connected three(7 altogether) more cells in series then I got less than a volt.So dry,dry,dry some more I guess.NickZ you are right I get some voltage but no amps.At this point I'm about ready to put it on the back burner for a while.If I can't add voltages then I have nothing here.I have to figure out why those seven cells in series gave me less than a volt.Dry baby dry.triffid
