Murf,you said, It seems the rapid deterioration of the magnesium can be slowed or halted by the use of sodium substitutions.
I did use what I guess what was a calcium salt of oxalic acid(calcium oxalate)(black pepper).My magnesium strips still snapped from slight handling.


My last cells had nothing in them that would attack the magnesium strips.The main problem now is that the pencil leads are so brittle.They snap at too rough a touch.The voltages are very good.  1.89 volts and .5mAs from one cell.  1.65 volts in the lowest cell.


I bought a couple of diodes from radio shack today to see if I could get any voltages from them.For the most part they did not seem to generate any voltage unless I touched them and became part of the circuit.They were rated 50 volts and three amps.They were epoxy rectifier diodes.triffid

Aloha thank you for the response as out here on Kauai not many peers into this kind.
I some how retarded the decay process not sure how but i think its in the ratios. I mix very small amounts of all ingredients a few grains of the crystals mostly alum. But a single drop of glue and just enough crystals to make it all gum up but very small amounts. Perhaps i can also discuss the thermoelectric idea. Three states of matter actually more but lets focus on three solid, liquid, gas. All are temperature dependent. solid crystals = cold.  Liquid= mid.  Gas = hot.  now think  of anode and cathode one gets hot the other cold flow is established. The need for energy to flow from hot to cold to find equlibrium = dead battery. You are hot more so than the metals you touch energy is transfered via convection or conduction. I think are the same. But that heat compiles to give alt readings. Research led me down the path of heat because we can simply touch somthing to see if there is a differences. Of course this led to fingerprints on everything.
I starded looking into heat measurement and alot of egoic debate on which scale is best i ended up finding out that room temp average is 23 degrees centigrade, = about 73 degrees Fahrenheit = 296 degrees Kelvin this gave me a starting point for average room temp to compare too. Then the fun part finding temperatures for specific heat in periodic table. I can see the pattern emerging of heat being key to electron flow. So i put a peice of copper tape in a jar with magnesium and lit the magnesium on fire the result is the tape covered in very thin layer of magnesium oxide on the sticky side of tape then i roled the tape onto a peice of copper the strange thing is i get a small flow but the resistance is high. I want to make nanotubes if anyone knows how? Other things can hydrogen be produced by a foxhole radio? And if you take the action of a stirling engine and make friction to heat the plate will it ?
Just some thoughts. Trying to find out
Thank you

Oh ps i use copper instead of carbon rod.  copper is easier for me to work with even if i do drop .15th of a volt
Aloha

Hi Murf,I like your method of putting magnesium oxide on copper.Use a magnifying glass to burn stuff inside a closed jar(I did that in high school).Nanotubes are carbon so burning a lump of charcoal inside a closed jar could give you some carbon?I have heard that charcoal from a fire on the beach is conductive.I used to lit matches inside a closed jar with a magnifying lens.The jar would quickly fill up with vapors/smoke.I have not thought of that in years.I bought some safety pins from family dollar today.60 count for $1.00. ten small safety pins are brass.the rest stainless steel.triffid

Murf,A foxhole radio does not produce enough power to break water down.Water needs about 1.12 volts to break down with brute force electrolysis.  .37 volts will break urea into hydrogen and carbon monoxide.And urea comes from urine.Among other places.I have not had the nerve to electrolyze urine.triffid

O lol i know its steril and everything but not desprate enough yet to try urine yet but ill keep it in mind. 
I am thinking about the crystal radio  and if it is tuned properly the correct wave could break apart hydrogen bonds.
I think ill try that next i have one crystal radio ill try to put 2 in series and see what kind of effects tuning them will produce then if i still get nothing ill pee all over it hehe.
Yeah the burning in a jar is fun the magnesium is really beautiful.
Thanks again Aloha
