@ George:

Excellent!!!  Are these bare or coated with copper?  Even if coated with copper, it would be easier to strip off at those prices.  Way to go George!  That's exactly what I was talking about with everyone working on this together.  Now, can we find some decent magnesium rods or tubes or blocks or plates?  Thanks George.

@mramos:

When I say it is brighter with the cap. here is what I mean.  If you just take an led and hook it to the cell, it lights to a brightness level we can cal "x".  When you use the cap. and do the same, the brightness level of the led is near 0, at first.  But then, and this is what I have been seeing here, it begins to light and almost right away the level is maybe x +2, then +3 etc.,Bill

Bill,
Thanks for that.  I wanted to ask this. I have my set up outside now. The cells are too close together but it is raining so I am under the tree. so, I am watching the meter which has been steadily rising from 0.041v to 1.002v so far.  the light is connected to the set up in series and in parallel to the double cap.   So, from a totally discharged cap, does it do this rise for a while? It has been 5+ minutes. to get to 1v. I disturbed the set up and it began again. I think that is strange.
I don't register any mA. at all so far. I think this is right. how could there be any mA if nothing is happening beyond charging the caps?

the LED is in parallel to the cap. This you are seeing is astonishing. The cap can charge and the light can shine at the same time. You can check this out with a 3 volt battery inside. Wire a LED and a cap in parallel to each other; then charge them for 40 seconds. you will see something you were not taught about.!!
check it out. It makes me smile- even though my hands are really cold

First to mramos:
please try this. put the neg of the LED to the neg of the cap and charge. you need to use more than 1.5v for most LED's to light up. the forward voltage is the way it is called. unless I am wrong. Don't worry about 3 volts or use a slightly used pair of AA batteries. I have been using 2.85 volts for mine. NiMH rechargeables is what I use and there has been NO problem.
If you study Bills picture from an older closeup picture you will see that it is in parallel. anyway go for it.

Today's report.

Raining so I used the under the tree spot. leads were about 18" (1/2 meter) apart.
Carbon pencil wired to caps and LED then to Mag block.

With one set of green light and caps after 45 minutes voltage rose to 1.002v

with other set of red LED and 2 caps all in parallel, voltage started at 1.3v and in 10 min rose to 1.5v

(but it was too dark to see and just touching this arrangement made it drop to zero again when it then began to rise again. So, I stopped for the night.)

I never had any amperage. always zero.

Inside the first set of caps with green led was at 0.53v after being charged 45 minutes; and the second red was at 0.39v after 10 minutes.

more later,
