Crystal Cell Research for Experimenter

I created a spreadsheet with the data presented showing the trends. Indeed the 344 is going down but with a much, much lower rate than the others.


In your solution tubes test, Alum seams to be the winner in "eating" Magnesium. That IS what I found out when I replicated Bedinis $200 cell. If you add carbon to that it will "eat" the Magnesium orders of magnitude faster.


I can observer clearly that the 344 is the winner so far. I would like to propose a new test around the 344 style. Create one cell just like that 344 with the exception that you will surround the Mg strip with a paper towel wet with a solution 50/50 of Epson and Alum before adding F134 and zapping with power (FC62).


Thanks again for the excellent data.


btw Teo, can you create a new PLAYLIST in your youtube account with ONLY those videos? That will be easier for me and others to find the series of videos you are creating because THEY WILL BE HISTORICAL, write that down.

My status update of my 1 year and 8 months old cell running without failing.

First picture is when I reactivated the cell this month. Second picture is the end of the first set of 400 thousand seconds. Buffer becomes full and the system forces me to start again. Third picture is the continuation of the second picture where I reset and continue the logging. Fourth picture is todays status which is another 380 thousand seconds.


So in total so far it has been running with empirical data for 780 thousand seconds which is the same as 9 days continuously running without ANY SIGNS OF DECAY OR OF GOING TO STOP.


The important thing to notice is the EXTREMELY CONSTANT VOLTAGE of the cell under load. The load is a 10mm Green LED and off course the LED is ON AND SHINNING.


In plain words: THIS CELL IS NOT DYING AT ALL AND NOT CORRODING!!!!!!!!
In plain words again: I DID IT.

#344 is showing 914 mV. Barometer is showing < 15% humidity. This barometer shows "LL" when it goes below 15%.

It's currently at #170 uA under load and 598 mV. Although the light is still on low, but steady, I would call this a dead cell.

Nice work!!!

I am soaking the cathode with a borax/water solution to see if it can act as a semiconductor and make the cell last longer. There is a little MnO2 in the mix, but mostly activated carbon. I added a little Epsom salt to initiate the crystallizing process. There was a lot of air in the cell prior to sealing it - the powders were just tapped into place, so hopefully that will allow the crystals to grow as they wish and keep the cell working longer. I'll report back with the progress. See the video for the exact build.

I forgot to note in the video that the pipe is 1/2" x 3"... I will be using this pipe for the next bunch of cell constructs... until I get a power supply, I will be either building them without cooking like this, or for blending the ingredients, heating to about "ouch" temperature... about 200-250 F. Note that this build took less than 10 minutes.
