glue cells (zero point energy, made simple)

You have a fertile mind nitinnun...your 'lazy' take on things is refreshingly humerous also.


I felt motivated to try another medium...so by poking a 2 1/2 inch leaf from a dismantled transformer and a 5 inch solid copper house type wire into a 1/2 bucket of reversible hydro colloid (jell), with a small amount of water added to keep the material moist over time.

The electrodes are above the water.

At first it registered .39 vdc which began climbing at a slowing rate to .58 vdc after 10 minutes.

(I'm not sure how to measure how many amps it is capable of. Any suggestions would be appreciated)

I*R=E
(I*R)/R=E/R
I=E/R
Amps=Volts/Ohms

1. Find a resistor.
2. Measure its resistance in ohms.
3. Connect this resistor to the exposed wire ends.
4. Measure the voltage drop across the resistor.
5. Divide by the resistor value.

I use a one ohm resistor, to eliminate the calculation step, and just read amps right from the same voltmeter I used to measure voltage.

I'll have to try this. If it works...

By the way, could you post a picture of the LED setup? I'd like to see it, especially what size the cells are.

Most multimeters have a switch/dial that you can set to amps. If you look at nitinnun's picture, his has a dial on it.

my multimeter can read amperage. can't yours?

the cheapest/easiest copper, is a roll of "copper foil" from the hardware store. i can get several feet of it for $28.
it can be cut or bent however your little free-energy heart desires.


the elements doing the conducting, is either hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, or all 3.

water molecules have one oxygen and 2 hydrogen.

glue is one carbon and 2 hydrogen, connected together into long chains.
when the glue hardens, some but not all of the hydrogen is lost. leaving mostly carbon and some trapped hydrogen. though i suspect that some oxygen also gets trapped in the glue.


next week my 1 pound bottle of powdered graphite will arrive. it is 95% carbon.
graphite is an electrical conductor. so it will likely short out the reaction, causing insta-failure.

if that happens, i will bake some graphite at 500F in the oven, then rapidly cool it down. to revert the graphite to broken carbon, and maybe crystalize/oxidize it too.


if i can be sure that the graphite fails because it is carbon, than that means that hydrogen or oxygen is the cause!

I generally avoid using my MM-amp feature since that one time I had to replace the fuse.  The operating range seems a bit too limited for my liking.

In this case, however, I expect the amperage to be tiny.  I would risk a fuse on it.
