This law is interpreted to mean that the addition of different metals to a circuit will not affect the voltage the circuit creates. The added junctions are to be at the same temperature as the junctions in the circuit. For example, a third metal such as copper leads may be added to help take a measurement. This is why thermocouples may be used with digital multimeters or other electrical components. It is also why solder may be used to join metals to form thermocouples.[/font][/size]

IB2,I did not know about that little trick either.I have learned to read comments others post in an article like that .Sometimes you find a real gem.I knew red copper oxide was photosensitive but I did not know it would turn heat into electricity.triffid

I am trying to get ideas from everywhere on electrodes and how to hook them up.I liked how he connected his 16 thermcouples in a ring without solder. for instance.triffid

I knew it.. Leds do have a coast mode. And this is why some have great reports for many many lights in a row! Now we know why.


But is it related? Well sort of. I think it is the diode that we should be interested in and not the light emitting part. The light emitting part is only half of the picture here. Maybe just maybe this is what Dr. Moray found out. except this was with a huge diode he created and of course higher currents but the same voltages. This brings up what he tuned the diodes to react to and hence the long wire for the antenna.


If we start to look at the setup we could understand the process he used. The bigger the diode the harder we can push the cells before reverse conduction begins. You could think of it as a chamber that holds water. Now divide the water with a flat plane like a sheet of glass. Now when you shake it back and forth across the plane it will splash up and down as well. This action will also toss some water back and forth between the two halves. The diode it appears is the glass separator. the larger the surface area of the diode the larger the divider becomes and the less break down between the two divisions of liquid. But they are both diamagnetic. They react weakly with each other. Since water is highly resistant to pressures you can modulate one end and still get the same modulation out of the other end, even with the divider(diode). This is because of the diamagenetic effect between two surfaces of water. No direct connection is allowed normally and since the plates are very very close there will also be a certain capacity as well. So we have a inductive component as well as a capacitance to hold the reaction. Once the capacitance is fulfilled the rest flows around it and conducts in a reverse direction. Kinda like a speed bump with our current technology.


What I think we are trying to create is a process that has little room for travel. Meaning a locked in conduction path that can be expanded through growth of a crystal.


Crystals are very very important and through exploration of their geometry you will understand the complex flows they create. Not only are they a very very big surface areas, they take water to make. Yes even diamonds take water. Thats usually held in the carbon. I believe that crystals can be used as a one way valve. A modulated one way valve. A transistor on the molecular scale. This is done by modulating the tank instead of the valve and let the valve use the waves to self actuate via wavering voltage pressure. We also have to program the growth via the active growth method. This growth method is pretty self adjusted and is usually termed stamina in areas like biology. Workout then rest, work out then rest. This lets defects remove themselves by natural selection and then allow for rebuilding of weak portions of the cells via rest periods.


So in my honest opinion the diodes we need to make will be substantial in surface area. They will have a crystalline subdivision to create a focusing effect and be split from end to end. My new design will be two electrodes that are external. one on each side of the component. They will be exposed to one side of the environment and be a part of the container for the crystalline structure. And there should be a center neutral conductor to receive the amplified output. Gold being my first thought then carbon/graphite. Each side will have it's own potential when referenced to the center electrode or a wide separation of the sides when referenced to each other. When we modulate between the outer electrodes the center electrode should be amplified through the crystal then deposited to the center electrode. Maybe. I have not tested this idea completely yet.

@ Jbignes5: You always make me want to drink more coffee in the morning for some reason...
So you're talking a long skinny cell with (same material) electrodes on either end and a different electrode buried in the center (mostly) dividing the electrolyte mass of the cell to help balance that 'tipping point', or maybe to put it better, to give the voltage another direction that we want it to go rather than back to itself. The sloshing cut-in-half glass of water was a great analogy BTW... So a couple pultruded carbon pieces on either end of an electrolyte and a hunk of aluminum sheeting to 'cut' the cell mostly in half. Maybe try putting a hole in the center  of the aluminum first? The size of the hole would be easy enough to measure against other sizes right? Aluminum screen might work, I have some of that . Hmmm... Now I need more coffee, see?!

Happy experimenting everyone,

Capacitors have little holes in their plates...

In this proof of concept video I show that even though you have low amps you can still find a way to power a LED just fine by adjusting the time variable. These crystal glue cells in the video give only a few micro-amps but they give me plenty of voltage and I use that to my advantage. Since you only need 3 volts to power a LED I put 3 crystal glue cells in series to give me over 3 volts. I have the cells charge up a capacitor and since the capacitor has a low internal resistance I can discharge it quickly into a LED and thus lighting the LED. If i do this quick enough with a small enough farad capacitor I can have the LED blink faster than the eye can picks up just like how a joule thief does so it seems like the LED is on all the time. Using a capacitor will allow even the low power cells to do useful work.

Here is a unique application for lighting.  Thought you might find this interesting.
