Crystal Power CeLL by John Hutchison

[sutra]

Hi guys,
Thanks for the ideas for the high voltages generation...

I've made the modification to my latest cell as you can see from the picture.

I replaced the previous electrode with a piece of metallic mosquito net.

I first anneal the net an then just immerged in the molten mix.

I polarized the cell with 18 VDC for 3 hours and let it be sealed for 24.

Well the result are much better than before at this stage, (yes I'll have to see after some wheeks).

A quick comparison:

Before
0,236 V @ 0.001 mA

After:
-0.400V (polarity swapped overnight) @ 0.058 mA

Enjoy the pic

Bye

I thought the cast earth recipe would be of interest to someone here in this this thread.I had seen ceramic cones before that were used in determining kiln temps.His cast earth samples reminded me of those cones.He was not trying to make a stone battery at the time.Also I have recently sent him some info from this thread.So he is at least aware his cast earth may be of interest here and elsewhere.Triffid

I forgot to mention that I went through a gold panning stage in my life and came up with all kinds of black sand.I think most rivers would yield up some.The black sand can be swept over with a magnet to seperate  the magnetic black sand from the nonmagnetic.Triffid

I want to add that I would not be upset if someone here could make a thermal cell that makes electricity from the heat that builds up in a car on a hot day.That could be considered "free energy".
Which is just wasted now.Triffid

I am wondering just how strong an electret sand can be?What kind of volts can it hold?triffid
