lasersaber battery replication

[AL Electro]

For the sake of science I was wondering if anyone from this forum has taken the time out to validate lasersaber's battery from this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yx_wjlMO3OI
I did but the amperage results are miniscule compared to what was claimed. "about an amp" All my testing was done both wet and dry with salt solutions of different concentrations. Anybody?

Here's a picture one of my cells: http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/oo266/Kargons/IMG-20111103-00034.jpg

Thank you!

A winking LED tells us nothing about the power of the output.

What volt/amp output does the design give when fed into a straight
resistive load?

I can't see a significant difference in principle between this and a carbon-zinc

+1. power output of the cell is what counts bottom line. Lasersaber has a unique design that's why I tried to recreate it in the first place. He states about an amp for the 3 x 10 inch rods from gallium source and higher amperage for the four inch rods, which is understandable. I don't see the use of a joule thief in the videos, there could be one the I just don't see anything. Crossing fingers there was not used for the test..... Anyway for the sake of science ( replicating a persons results) the question still stands. Has anybody constructed a cell of the same proportions to validate his claims?

Same concept pretty much and yes I know that could be debated depending on the how wet lasersabers cell is and a few other. In any case the battery you're talking about uses zinc as the fuel and it's design is a whole different animal considering what Lasersaber had constructed. Theory is the same but dimensionally and construction methods are totally different. Basically comparing apples and oranges.

Many people have replicated Lasersabers work with the battery. But the reason why it works is due to the galvanic reaction and because of that it will die very quickly.


I've made batteries that hold up well but don't produce a lot of power. There's a thread about them here http://www.energeticforum.com/renewable-energy/7351-bedini-earth-light.html


Its a lot of reading but a lot of good info!


Here's videos of my cells that run even when dried out.
