from the looks of this unit you are easy producing about 3 volts and over 225mah well done that some power for home made battery

Thank you - I will monitor these cells and report back. This is the first time I have used pennies.

I posted the Penny Cell Construction and should have include the Conduit Cell Construction at the same time. Sorry!

have you tried using the conduit for the outside of the unti and carben for a center elctrode seem to me you are very much copying how batterys work also why do you rap the conduit?

when you was talking about haveing very little ampage the way this would be done is by haveing the positive electrode as small as you can for the givern ampage

basicly what i mean is the less electrode they is the less current will flow from the battery this is how they do it with normal batterys

If I am not mistaken, the conduit only has the zinc coating on the outside - I do not mind giving this a try. I will report tomorrow on that. My thinking would be if any voltage does show - then it would be the galvanic effect of the steel in the conduit and not the zinc. Output levels should tell us. The coffee filter is used to prevent the cathode (carbon) and anode (zinc) from shorting.

Hi Brad
Yes you are correct they only galvinize the outside.

ok that kind of kills that idea

i got to say doing reserch brings up some very strange things i wonted to find images of inside a abttery but instead got a page explaining how femal sex toys go wrong and how they can be fixed internet strange place
