New way to increase battery power.

[stevensrd1]

Here is a simple natural way to increase battery power from a single 1.5v battery normally reading 1.33 v increasing it to 2.72 v. Which means the single battery can now power a led light which normally would require 2 batteries and it uses no external circuit. I added some pics as well.

its a good idea

"It may even be a yet unknown or undiscovered method" well.. no.. not really.. all you have here is an "earth battery" with a normal battery to get the desired voltage. Galvanic reaction is occurring between the magnesium and the shell of the battery case.

Makes perfect sense really, a typical earth battery will put out about a volt, coupled with the 1.33volts of a AA battery and you get your 2.7volts.

Nice little experiment, pretty impracticable though. But nice none the less, just my two cents

Well it works just like I said. The sand I used did come from outside and only water was put in it to moisten the sand a bit. And since it came from outside there is bits of organic matter in it. And can run a led light on one 1.5v bat with it. And yes its the kind of led light that normally takes two bats. Part of the key seems to be in the magnesium metal strip used with purity of 99.99. As other metals I had laying around will not light the led. Seems to keep on running, Im sure there is a limit to it after so much time of course as even the sand would dry out eventually. The confusing part was how on the meter it goes from 1.33v to 2.72v by this method. But yet would not run a small motor but for led lights seems to do great at running them with just a single battery. Im sure there's more to it all to be discovered for those who play around with this method. Best wishes....

  Cool
Looks like a neat little voltage multiplier.  I always enjoy the things you bring to the table.
