Crystal Cell Research

Hi Plengo,

Nice thread

[plengo]

Last night i observed an interesting effect. I left my cell running under load for days now. Once disconnected from the load the voltage on the cell goes immediately to 1.40v and continues rising until a plato is reached and it levels down to 1.4v or 1.3v or so but stays there.


If put on load again for just a few seconds and turn of the load voltage rises to 1.67v and sometimes to even 1.8v! Again, it will reach a plato and rests at the usual 1.4/1.3v.


Another interesting effect is that when the cell is not in use or under load, all the energy that it generates is actually stored on the mix medium and it is available for use when load is attached. This gives a false impression that the cell is giving higher voltage and current while as you leave it under load it will stabilize at its "balanced state" and slowly goes down with time.


The effect of capacitance is very pronounced. I would speculate to the order of a few hundreds of thousands of micro-farads. May be a 100,000uF or even more.


Also when testing another cell that has been 100% dry and giving very little power out, when hoop up to a volt meter, it was giving not only direct current and voltage but also AC voltage, and I measure it in 2 different meters.


The substrate mix in between the plates is growing really fast and it is forcing the plates to distance apart. This is concerning since I don't want the cell to grow uncontrollably and break. I will have to come up with a formula that controls that.


Water absorption is excellent. The substrate sucks the water extremely fast and obviously helps the growth of the crystal structure. Some of the parts of the Magnesium is visible and no corrosion is visible.


I will open this cell very soon (destructive process) and see the level of corrosion if any. I am confident there will be none.


Iron pyrite cell with the same substrate mix did not perform much better, actually it increased the internal resistance, that was surprising.


I ordered Magnesium plates of 1mm and 0.9mm so that I can build a stack of those cells. The performance of this cell is phenomenal. Now it is giving .2v (point 2 volts or 200mv) and a constant 30/40 ma (mili-amps). As I add water periodically it improves more and more.


It is very obvious that water is the element that makes the crystal grow. That corroborates with my theory that the water IS the FUEL.


I will try some ideas concerning automatic controlled delivery of water to the cell so that I can lock this into a box and attach lights and possibly offer to individuals (for a small price) that are interested in pursuing this line of research.

Plengo,
Other interesting things noted on these cells

On the Allwest crystal cell, I can hold the copper in my hand, and it will stop the Ma from going down under a load

Try putting a load on your cell and meter the amps, put your hand on the copper and I bet it does the same thing, stops the amps from going down under load, and most of the time the amps go up

Best of luck

I think this is important to note, because the bigger the load you put on these cells the hotter the cell gets and the more power it produces

Kind of a self generation of power that we can pull from

Hi Fausto/Plengo,
Your cell seem very interesting, I wonder if they can be paralleled to produce more currents. Then you can use a DC/DC Boost Converter to up the voltage from 0.2V to 1.3V DC, if there is enough current. I know that due to the high impedance of individual cell, they cannot be stacked in series.
If you make it into a light box, then I am interested in purchasing a unit for my hobby research.
I am already retired, but still want to get some fun with FE!
