Heres some food grade silica   http://www.liquidvitaminsleader.com/targeted-nutrition/silica-micro-plant-powder.html

Maybe aspirin has silica in it?I dont know.

Was thinking of trying some Durham's Water Putty next (instead of Elmer's wood putty). Check out the website... Gonna go find out what is in it. I like that it comes in a powder form (easy to mix with salts/silica/whatever), is relatively cheap, and supposedly dries 'rock hard'. Exactly what we want when the electrolyte is dry, right? Might mix with glue all as well??

EDIT: That silica link said that it contains an acid. Might want to look into that at some point...

Keep up the good work guys. These cells are fun to make. I'm still working on some myself and will post more.  http://youtu.be/6jrjZqPldjw

I read the cell I recharged last and didn't burn up.It reads .45 volts at the highest and wants to jump around.
My aspirin cell read 1.35 volts and after sealing with the hot wax and letting the wax harden .it read 1.39 volts.
I made five more cells in the same plastic one dozen egg  carton.So in about three days I will have 6 cells to play with that are sealed with wax.




Im using a plastic egg carton this time to avoid leaching chemicals out of the cardboard that might have interfered with my cells in the first panel I made using a 30 count egg cardboard flat(carton).triffid
