DIY ACID FREE CARBON BATTERIES

[Bizzy]

This thread is a spin-off of Lasersaber’s working air battery thread. I applaud Lasersaber for his creativity and skill at inventing. And we look forward to his DIY joule ringer circuit.
This thread will detail how to make a working acid free carbon battery. Some of the initial information will be repeats from Lasersaber’s thread so bare with us while we complete the switch over. It is our goal to supply all the needed information to construct a usable battery system with only minimal component degradation.  This is achieved by eliminating acid from the cell and using water as the only electrolytic source. The ongoing experiments will help everyone to understand the thought process behind the cells and to give us the maximum possible efficiency.
I hope you find it useful. We only ask that you please contribute.
Thanks, Danke sehr, und merci vielmals

In early experiments, this has been a good source for the carbon.  I would be interested to know if others have found another good, cost effective, high performing source for carbon.

Good Morning
This is a picture of my working "air" battery
Each cell is made of copper casing with a copper plug bottom. A thin layer of activated carbon at the bottom. A magnesium rod is covered with mascing tape and incerted inside and more activatred carbon is filled in. I poured a shot glass full of water into each cell and hooked them in a series. and the result is 5.96 volts.
Currently I am running an led on just 2 cells to see how long it runns.

Good morning
Here is a diagram of the cell I used. I then hooked them up in a series. Copper to magnesium. I hope to work on it more after work today and will report on what I find. Enjoy

Good morning
The following are the results of my latest test. I wanted to know if granular size of the carbon made a differance. Below is a picruew of a single cell with activated carbon just as you would buy it at the store.
