Thanks PB for your incompatibility list .It yielded up the information that fumaric acid belongs to this class of acids http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxylic_acid   .Which in turn leads to other tidbits of previously unknown info.
Ants are a source of formic acid for example.I am looking at dandelions as a source of oxalic acid.I have plucked four leaves to dry.They contain vitamin c too and some silica.100 grams/(wet weight) of the leaves contain less than a gram of vitamin C.triffid

Fumaric acid is found in fumitory Fumaria officinalis bolete mushrooms (specifically Boletus fomentarius var. pseudo-igniarius), lichen, and Iceland moss.

I was looking at my first 30 cells that I made back in the last week of january.I am still getting voltages from them.Mostly .30 volts but I have one that is cranking out .72 volts.There is slight green colored corrosion on the copper electrodes but nothing major. And no corrosion of the magnesium electrodes at all.These cells were never sealed with wax.The only acid in these cells was the fumaric acid from mortons salt sub.triffid

We know that fumaric acid and  Sodium salicylate which is a sodium salt ofsalicylic acid(aspirin) does not corrode the magnesium metal strips.

Ok,I have made six more cells in a plastic egg carton.These cells contain only fumaric acid and whatever dandelions will give them.In 24 hours they should dry enough for me to get voltages.I put the dried dandlion greens on top of the first layer of glue and mortons salt sub.Then put  a double amount of epsom salts on top added more mortons salt sub,covered that with elmers glue all and a good dose of mortons salt sub.
Then slide in the copper electrodes first into the mass,then the magnesium strips second.
Dandelions contain oxalic acid which is 3000 times stronger than acetic acid and a small amount of vitamin C and a smaller amount of silica(since its a plant).triffid

The crushed dandelion leafs are buried deep inside these cells.triffid
