IB2,I realized your amp readings were in uAs,Not mAs as I had thought.So you are not making kilowatts yet.I guess noone is just yet!triffid

I have concluded my study of the Gravity / Crow's Foot Battery.  Here is a video showing my wrap-up of this study.

This is a battery that I will make a couple more replications just to keep in my collection of homemade batteries.
I will be looking at aluminum/air and zinc/air batteries next.
I hope you enjoy the video and the magnetic levitation motors I present here.

Very nice Job!!!  The crow foot was the best design before they started adding separators of pottery or leather.  It was also the last cell design to require removal of zinc when not in use! 

Again great job there, you can see why it was good for current as compared to the a copper sulfate battery,  due to a reduction in polarization. I believe the reported run-time on these was pretty close to your 6-7 days at full load. 

I believe modern circuits offer the opportunity to possibly utilize certain "poor" or "tossed out" designs of old. 

It's kinda funny (been reading various things from 1800-1900) people in 1800 were "striving" for things very similar to us now.  Volta himself said that "if we could find a solid semiconductor that would allow the conduction of dissimilar metals without corrosion, it might last forever".  this was in 1810......

waiting on parts for my next variation.  however, from some reading.... I can make voltage with no salts, or as an alternative same metals (though of course much smaller).  I believe I should have the parts for a solid, dry cell on the way.  If this proves correct, water will actually destroy the cell.

thanks

I wonder what nylon fibers could do for our cells?   http://lib.bioinfo.pl/pmid:7314214  triffid

Sounds like whats happening to my cells as they dry?   http://lib.bioinfo.pl/pmid:20229997  triffid
