getting more energy out of AA and AAA batteries

[mak27]

Hi folks I have been working on this little project for over two years and thought it was time to share the results

I thought what if you placed a kind of electron resevoir close to batteries so they would not have to work so hard

to pull electrons out of the surrounding air. so I placed a steel bar under the batteries and then placed two powerfull

neo magnets on top of the batteries, to pull the electrons from the steel into the batteries. Here is a list of the parts

two 1.2 volt 2200mha  AA harbour freight batteries

two 1/4X1/2X3/4  N42 neo magnets  force through the 1/4 surface

5 leds from a harbour freight headlite ( the kind you strap on your head)

Anyway I am running on a bit, but long story short , I turned it on to see how long it would run and edded up getting

13months 4 days and 2hrs of nonstop light out of it here are some pictures if anyone wants to replicate it

Good job Mak27 do you try with lithium battery?

@ stiplanet: I did not try with lithium batteries, dont know how they would respond, however I am now trying an experiment with laminated copper

plates and a steel bar and so far it looks very promising. the batteries just keep working away without loosing any voltage month after month

'if you end up with a NiMh cell that is showing 0
volts resting, the cell is damaged. In an over
discharged state, the electrodes inside the cell
corrode. This results in impurities contaminating
the electrolyte, and a loss of active electrode
material. The cell is damaged. The longer the cell sits in this over discharged condition, the more
damage is done.'

I will be interested to try also if you make a schema and  if i can get some informations, tell me why this solution can not work on lead acid battery? thank you
