You know i was thinking you could wrap some coils around hematite since it contains iron and make a iron-core inductor out of it?

Here is the solid state cell that everyone wanted before we went to wet cells again on EF. At the bottom is a video showing it powering a light bulb.

"Voltages typically vary between 1 and 40 volts dc but have been measured up to 100 volts in extreme cold conditions."


"Once the material is assembled and initiated it will continue to produce electricity for at least 20 years possibly up to 100 years."


"The first device consists of three materials that are layered onto each other. The first layer is already a known material that generates electricity when stimulated. The second material stimulates the first material or layer to produce the electricity. However to stimulate the second material you need another or third material. The combination of the materials and their composition determine the voltage. The surface area and how well the materials contact each other determine the current. The materials can be multi layered to increase current output. "

@ IB: I've been using pultruded carbon rod since I started. Awesome that you got over the 2 volt 'barrier', congrats! Aluminum can sit in regular water without the corrosion you get when using (untreated) Mg in the same fashion. (You won't see those kinds of results using aluminum though...)
I've been focusing my experiments on those two materials as electrodes because of this. I'm pretty sure the carbon rods I'm using won't corrode no matter what electrolyte I stick them into, but we will see in six months or so eh?
@ NickZ and Jbignes5: Polarization of the planes. Nice. The light tug of gravity statement was well put too! So the 'medium' is tiny perfect squares that are really perfect circles... Is that fairly close?
I made a couple more cells yesterday and cleaned out my spice cabinet to get a few empty containers for more cells. My alum should be here any day...
Got another battery for my tester and a spare.

Anyhow, happy experimenting everyone! Congrats again IB!!

Well my prevailing theory is that the smallest particles ever known are pyramidal in shape. Much like salt. Then those make up even larger particles that make up even larger particles. At some point those triangles make up any shape that is desired. Just like in computer graphics.


Here is a concept of that theory:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sierpinski_pyramid.png


If you click the picture it will give a better representation of the two particles. Now imagine that the spaces are filled with charges and that is what drives the particles. At least the active particles. The red is active and the blue is non active. The non active are the polarizable particles and the red is "charge". The red one has infinite space inside of the particle and the blue has very little space for charges. The neat thing is they are self powering because of their shape and both are highly reactive to charges which are only a smaller subset of strings of smaller red particles into balls that resemble a mass of worms. As you can see from the red particle it is highly dynamic and can grow in size imparting charges of all different values.

Please remember that these particles flow in a fluid like medium. The red particle would slip through the medium with ease. The blue particle moves via the surface area it presents from the bases being forward so it has some resistance to movement but actually moves via this method. Think about how these structures would move in a fluid medium and you will see how they operate.


And the use of triangles for computer graphics is common knowledge by now.

IB. Awesome find there!

You should have read this IB...


Hematite is an antiferromagnetic material below the at 250 K, and a canted antiferromagnet or weakly ferromagnetic above the Morin transition and below its Néel temperature at 948 K, above which it is paramagnetic. But think about the microscopic picture they show. There is tons of surface area on that one microscopic area that water would conduct huge amounts of environmental energy into the structure causing the voltage you see..

Does a magnet stick to it? And if so, Strongly or Weakly? When you expose the stone to a magnet does it change the voltage you see when you have it in the water and the volt meter is hooked up?

Yes the hematite is attracted to a magnet, but weakly. A neo magnet can support itself when attracted to the hematite.
