2nd law violation:new battery type "poor man's Karpen"

I should point out scale is a dimensional barrier described by string theory and Nassim Haramein in his holographic universe theory

"The magnesium weight from start is .08 grams or 8 milli grams." no, 8 mg= 0.008 g.
0.08 g = 80 mg.

I've just replicated the battery, using what I had in the shed.   Copper wire instead of Ni.  Pics show the construction of the 3 cells. Hot glue is used to separate Mg/Cu at the ends. A small clump of borax was used in 100mL de-ionized water.

Bubbles on both electrodes form, more on the copper than the Mg.  Voltage is 2.00V open circuit. Shorted current is 5mA.  I'm keeping it shorted to see if Mg corrodes.

I live by the shore so it's more visual for me but that is an example of the second law

In another experiment a warm borax solution is chewing away nicely at the Magnesium. PH is too high. Are you sure you used borax?
