'IB2,I got my small copper plated nails at a hardware place called" Hoods"located in house springs,mo.They are called specialty nails.Put out by the Hillman Group in Cinncinnati,Ohio 45231.Made in Taiwan.Lot#hpm04157. No phone number given.They were not with the other nails but in a location all to themselves.The bins of nails were in another location in the store.Hope this helps.triffid

Speaking of ice. I use to put some of my cells in the freezer to see what would happen and how would they respond to the cold. You could give the freezer experiment a try? I even made cells that were ice cubes with salts and such in them, it was very interesting. 


Just watch out sometimes the cells will expand or pop.

@IB: Yeah, I can give that a try easily enough. Some additives (sodium bicarbonate for one!) make cells puff up like muffins LOL!!
BTW, they sell solid copper tacks for nailing up the felt weatherproofing around doorjambs. Also, I think you can get solid copper nails; people drive them into tree stumps to prevent them from re-growing (Cu is poisonous to plants, something to consider...).

Happy experimenting,

Big J this is for you too.


So what's the potential of this technology.  By using micro technology it is possible to efficiently extract energy from thousands of thin plates. A plate that's 250 microns thick by 1 meter wide by 1 meter long would generate over 450 watts per side for a total of ~900 watts per sheet.  Stacking multiple plates to 1 meter high gives us 4000 sheets for a total of 3.6 Megawatts!  That's not bad for 1 cubic meter of space, but it's not realistic because we need to circulate air through each plate (which converts ambient temperature to electricity) to keep each plate near room temperature. Remember, if we are converting 900 watts of energy per plate into electricity then each plate will cool down. So we need to keep the plates near room temperature for maximum performance. Therefore, we should [color=rgb(0, 0, 255) !important]separate[/color] each plate by perhaps 250 microns, which gives us only 2000 plates per meter high for total of 1.8 megawatts. Even more realistic, given inefficiencies, we could expect as much as 1 megawatt per cubic meter.

Hi,

There are various methods that demonstrate this is already possible. Nature is the best example called the Dew Point effect. The clear night sky is 2.7 K, which is why horizontal surfaces cool down at night far faster than vertical surfaces. Also I wrote computer simulation software that showed me exactly how cones and parabolas would work. A lens will also work. If you focus T-rays coming from a square meter of surface onto 0.1 square meters then the 0.1 m^2 surface will become hot.

Although the simulation software is only in 2D space, it confirmed goofy experiment. I believe a 3D version would also confirm.

Presently I am working on technology that will allow T-rays to traverse through a special medium one direction, but reflect the other direction. This will allow up to 900 watts per m^2 of a very thin sheet.

Here is a circuit to convert thousands of volts once we have it into usable power. http://www.angelfire.com/ak5/energy21/capacitorcharger.htm  triffid
