When i was 8 or 9 years old, i found an old book of ham radio. From it i learned many things. The first was making wet cell batteries using sal amoniac desolved in water as an electrolyte. After making enough cells to power the transmitter i built shortly after, the parents of my friends considered me a possible hazard to their sons. But that was waaaay before the nitroglycerin incident...
I know this is an old video, but thought someone might be interested in what was going on. When you heat the mix of salts the Epsom salts release some of the water trapped in the crystal structure allowing the mixture to partially dissolve. You end up forming a "dry" electrolyte copper/magnesium cell.
The term "dry cell" just means that it does not use a liquid electrolyte. Even the driest dry cells require some level of moisture on the inside, otherwise no electrolytic reactions can take place, but the electrolyte is dry enough to become a paste and thus it can be used in any orientation. Unlike a wet cell, which even when sealed is not recommended to use in other than an upright position, e.g. a car's lead-acid battery.
Yeah, a lot of effort to produce a seriously badly-designed dry cell, then convince youself the power is magically coming from the crystals and not the difference in electrode materials. The stupid, it burns.
You should clean the copper base in vinegar and salt then rinse off with water and dry. No need to sand, and improves conductivity (you had a dense layer of copper oxide when adding the mixture)
I'm looking at this from a purely physical manufacturing angle, and think the efficiency & energy density can be greatly increased. Instead of a copper pipe end cap, a honeycomb structure of copper, solid sheet on the bottom, open on top. For the Magnesium, instead of a solid round cylinder, a flat sheet with hexagon shaped shafts coming out of it, properly sized to 'nest' inside the copper honeycombs with the proper spacing. Place the copper honeycomb on the hot plate and fill the cells with the powder. Heat to the proper temperature, getting the solution to just the perfectly mixed viscosity, then lower the magnesium panel into it from the top (with insulated bolts/spacers around the outside between the plates to keep them perfectly aligned and spaced). Then, pull the whole cell off the heat and set in the cooling tank, until curing is finished. Positive connects to one side, negative to the other side. They could be stacked in series, just like stacking the flat button-cell batteries we use in watches & hearing aids.
the hexagonal shapes would be extremely expensive, how about overlapping sheets? like how capacitors work except with electrolyte instead of a dielectric
Fun note, I think this battery lasts so long because something cleans the reaction surface as Magnesium hydroxide [Mg(OH)2] doesn't dissolve in water. Since salt solutions can temporarily produce strong acids, this cell can produce HCl and HSO4 to react with any Mg(OH)2 that may propogate, and since MgCl2 and MgSO4 are soluble in water it clears the Magnesium surface to allow more galvanization. So that's a cool Hypothetical.
@@stevenfeil7079 It is also really dangerous.Giving incomplete info is worse than giving no information at all. He is giving people just enough information to hurt themselves. Borax has a very high PH and should not be used without thick gloves and a respirator. Inhaling the dust when opening that grinder can actually kill you when it mixes with the moisture in your air ways and lungs. Not a single safety warning and he is demonstrating it in unsafe conditions / work practices. Someone seeing this video without knowing the dangers will do the same.
At first, I LOVE your videos. At second...no,but I enjoy them. You, my Friend, are very unsafe. Your life is yours,however..you SHOULD tell people of the dangers you are facing, so that they can make an informed decision as to mimic you or not. BORAX IS DANGEROUS to skin. POWDERS are dangerous to inhale. You simply do not provide enough information to warrant My Love :( Parts lust? Links to suppliers? Gloves? Respirator? In another video you don't mention capacitor breakdown/leak..
@@excitedbox5705 Borax has a ph around 9.5, its safe on your skin to use as a soap and it's even used medicinally/nutritionally for a Boron source. Hence why the box even says "not for drug use". Do some research, Borax can be used for hair loss issues due to inadequate Boren intake, as well as for killing yeast and fugus internally and externally. Yes mixing Borax with other chemical could be dangerous, but it's pretty safe to the skin and even if taken internally in small amounts.
onradioactivewaves I agree with you. It's also used as laundry detergent. However those use cases are different then grinding into a powder that is breathable and also heating it, mixed with other chemicals.
I made this cell But I did not use heat. I added (mixed in) iron oxide (magnetite). I packed it as tight as I could. I used a one inch copper cap and a magnesium rod about one inch long. 1.43 volts, It really works great. Thanks much.
I was curious how well this cell performs. So, I built one yesterday and have been playing around with it. Mine is the 2" cap like yours plus a 3" pip soldered to it (like half of a pipe bomb). It gives a 1.23 volt open circuit and about 25 mA short circuit that drops to a steady of 10 mA (0.45 volts). The only change I made; is I used pure KCL (potassium chloride) instead of the no-salt. One thing I noticed; when I first built it and it was hard enough to handle, the Copper was positive and the Magnesium was negative. When it cooled completely, it reversed its polarity. Is that what you have lasersaber? The jewel thief circuit I have doesn't run bellow 5mA and was wondering if you can post the one you're using. Thanks for sharing. Excellent Channel.
I have been researching for about 3-4 years on how to get energy very cheaply that lasts a long time and is good for the environment. Then I found this video about a week ago and I checked out his channel and he seemed like a legit guy so I decided to get the parts and build it. I finished building it today and I couldn't believe it. It Works!! Make sure to try and build it because this battery is amazing. I plugged a motor to it and I'm going to test it for a week, if it goes for that long then I will be amazed!!!
Thats why I sarcastically love people who bitch about "free" energy videos using basic motors from electronics with some sort of rotational system to generate power. It aint coming from the electricity company thus free. Nobody says itll last forever but not many people get youtube has good ideas and bad ideas and sometimes both but they forget to think first and speak second

So many years later (2019) but it would appear that melting the ingredients in the copper cap fully, then pushing the center Mg core into the melted ingredients afterwards would be quick and easy. Any issues here?
am able to create 3.5 amps with .75 volts with your basic recipie and the addition of one more. using a carbon/graphite + and aluminum channel 2in tall x 1.5 in wide x .5 in as ground. has been running in series and parallel for several years. so thank you lasersaber for your video. was a great place to begin.
Ive built one for my hearing aid it works great, the only problem is its size, so i had to tape it to the side of my head, since doing this Ive notice that when i go for a meal everyone runs out of the restaurant.
This is just chemical energy conversion a LED will run a off a lithium battery for 12+ years as some led esp blue will run on micro amps. Camping fire strikers are magnesium but expensive It does work out cheaper just to buy a battery, but this vid is good learning material.
Its not always about what is cheaper. Its about not having to use money. Make things with what you have. If you happen to have all the ingredients, you save yourself the money.
@(JD) Juan Gonzalez Flores no problem, also, if you have a harbor freight near you they sell the same fire starters for a super cheep price, like a $1.75 each, or something close to that
Did you try to recharge it, perhaps you already do it until a certain using time ? Or Is it a trash battery, when ended des assemble the pieces cleaned up the oxydation and replace the electrolyte ? Last questions how long use possible and wich power in volts and amps do you obtain ? Most of the time, obviously
what would happen if you were to fill the copper bit let it liquefy then once it was uniformly melted move the copper into the cooling stand and then push the magnesium core into it while still liquid. also have you tried cleaning the oxide layer off the magnesium bar. and possibly using a lathe to cut fins into the magnesium to allow for more surface contact. what if you used a magnesium wire coiled around.
I’m not sure if they’re great as batteries, but if you use two galvanized pieces of metal instead of zinc and copper, the capacitance as a capacitor is immense
I have made a few small crystal cells last year which are still holding voltage. I used a mix of Alum, Potassium Chloride, Zirconium, and Zinc Oxide. I used copper for my anode and zinc for the cathode. Heat applied seems to increase voltage as cold decreases it. Each small cell produces between 0.50 to 0.90 V DC but fluctuates based on current room temperature .
I think that the most important thing of all these DIY batteries is to measure which method is better in terms of Energy Generation and Lasting AND COST. I have seen over here in TH-cam some other projects with batteries made with cheaper elements that generate the same amount of energy. What will be the advantage of your battery?
I wonder if a thinner layer of crystal would yield better results? Also, I wonder if plates of metal might work better as they'd have a greater surface area.
Can you explain why you need to use all 4 of these ingredients? I have seen other peoples batteries with only Borax and / or epson salt. Also, other people have "grown" their borax crystals.

Could you use an ionization chamber to harness the particles coming off something very small and radioactive? I've been thinking about it for awhile, and I think you could use an ozone generator in reverse, maybe inside a lightbulb under vacuum to lower the voltage necessary to get across the gap. Failing that, try a wire sphere or a bunch of circles of wire around and very close to the material, then a bigger sphere, or circles, further out. There should be a voltage between those 2 wires, you might even have enough to light a small LED for 50 years.
Yes, that is called beta-voltaics (similar to photo-voltaics). It takes advantage of radioactive materials emitting beta particles. The voltage is generated exactly as you suggested (by beta particles intersecting at right angles to a copper line). This is a specialized source of power that has limited applications (pace makers, remote electronics power sources, satellites) due to its low voltage and low current. But, it has long life (which is a function of the material's half-life. You can actually buy beta-voltaics batteries. It's perfectly normal but a little on the pricey side.
The copper is used in the reaction that produces electricity. You wouldn't want to coat the copper in anything. That would be like saying "wouldn't it help to take the clamps off your battery terminals, place tape over them, then put them back on?"
@@tcolondovich2996 That's why he added graphene, a highly conductive nano particle that would allow the conductivity to still happen. It's what our sick freaks in dee cee are putting in the cure that was never a cure at all but a filthy trick to get it in us.
Ever thought about using nitinol to squeeze a crystal cell into producing more voltage? I've been wanting to try it but I just haven't had time to get a good crystal cell.
Home made chemical battery. The slower the reaction, the longer the shelf life and that's about all you can get from these. Great way to use up what would ordinarily be the leakage any battery experiences. You want long term *and* high power when you need it (none available in the meantime), make a Zinc Air battery of the "dry" kind. It generates no power and has no leakage until you add water to the electrolyte. Then you can get Kilowatts.
Thank you so much also have you thought of using a vibration plate to remove bubbles maybe even specific frequency or maybe vacuum cooling. Finally what are you thoyghts on orgonite ad would it's application by applicable here?
It would be helpful if you wrote the ingredient list and written instructions in the description so that the hearing impaired can take advantage of this.

all half cups: Alum; Potassium Chloride; Borax; Epsom Salt. mix very well...has Magnesium Core, and copper pipe as a holder. Have on low heat otherwise boiling over is going to happen. let sit for half hour
You could actually use this to charge up a capacitor bank or an array contain both Battery & Caps... How do you know its not re-chargeable? have you tried it..
first of all I love your work I've been watching your channel for years I am a big fan of yours I have a question or two? 1.are these crystals cells rechargeable if not, 2. do you think it is possible to create a cell like that that is rechargeable? 3. how fast can a crystal battery like you cooked to run out of Power with a regular small DC motor connected to it? and again thank you for all this great information you share with us ! we are truly grateful and keep up the good work you are truly a master of your domain
Simple gavanic potential differences of metals. Take two dissimilar metals and they have a potential different (voltage difference). Thats why using the wrong kind of bolt, or not insulating the bolt when fastening metals plates will corrode and break within a year or two. Statue of Liberty had this problem because it was made of copper. The amount of current from this is extremely low. You can increase the current by decreasing the resistance of the electrical connection between the two metals (best by touching them to each other directly). When the surface of the less noble metals has corroded and breaks electrical contact with the other metal the voltage is gone and current stops, as does the corrosion process. Using the salt mixture between the two increases the amount of metal in electrical contact but does not stop the corrosion. The resistance is also high so the corrosion is slower but the current is smaller than if you had used salt water in place of the solid salt. The amount of power the chemical reaction (corrosion) of the metals releases is extremely tiny and spread of a long period of time. You could sell the metals for the pocket change they're worth, and buy 1000x the amount power of the power company that this would release. The purpose of batteries is that they have the best balance of long-term storage and short-term release of their energy. This takes the long-term storage to the extreme with little to no short-term release of energy, to the point of being completely inpractical for anything.
You seem to know everything about chemistry and batteries. Can you make your own channel and show us how to make more efficient, powerful batteries. Thanks.
slow release chemical dry cell, kinda handy for WW3, disaster or a zombie apocalypse I guess, need more power than that though. And calling it a crystal cell is a little misleading.
This is simply amazing!!! Do you think this could power a whole house if implemented on a large scale? Or what are the possible applications that this could be used for? Thanks
Assuming you want to use 1/2 cup of borax, which is approximately 68 grams, here are the corresponding amounts you would need for the other three ingredients to achieve equal moles: Borax (Na2B4O7·10H2O): 0.178 moles Mass required: 68 g Epsom salt (MgSO4·7H2O): 0.178 moles Mass required: 87 g Alum (KAl(SO4)2·12H2O): 0.178 moles Mass required: 134 g Potassium chloride (KCl): 0.178 moles Mass required: 13 g The fact that the magnesium core has risen up out of the container may indicate that there was a chemical reaction between the magnesium and the powder mixture/copper cell, which caused the magnesium to corrode and produce hydrogen gas. This gas could have built up over time, causing the magnesium to rise up out of the cell. This would be a good place to start to have equal amounts in the recipe. Hope this helps.
What are you planning to power with 10 of these? How much power are you expecting to get? Would power increase if you made one the size of a garbage can? :) I've also loved these since I watched Johns videos. I believe in one he had there was smashed up powdered quartz.
lasersaber Once you fix the galvanic couple, magnesium and copper here; the voltage of the cell is fixed. Current density will be fixed for an electrode pair and the elecrolyte and the cell geometry used.
+thechazman47 the maker of the "bloom box" mentioned "the plates are constructed of sand." I know this is an old thread but seen that the other day. Kinda makes me wonder if the mixture was more exposed to air and carbons, if it might produce more power...
Excellent work, as ALWAYS! Please allow me to offer my compliments to your wife. With ALL you have going on, she must be the MOST PATIENT person in the world! =My wife would have me staked out over an ant hill if I had 1/4 the projects as you going on.
I just noticed you were having problems regulating the temp of the cap here are a couple suggestions if you don't mind. In chem you can sink your beaker in play sand on a hot plate and it will evenly heat your substance, or maybe just heating water in a small pan with cap in center should evenly heat.
Hi Lasersaber, maybe it is beneficial to run a small load resistor during cooling already on the cell, so a current in the right direction is impregnated into the cell already during cooling ? Maybe around 500 to 1000 Ohm ?
lasersaber after seeing this video im inspired to remove the electrolyte on my dead 6 volt motorcycle battery and then charge them up to several hundred volts DC low current and then pour some hot beeswax into it and let it cool slowly into an electret!! thanks lasersaber!!
fidel catsro Can they be charge with a 220V output or 120V? And YOU CAN CHARGE THEM TOO!?!??! I'm going to make one just gotta know if its OK to charge with a 220V output!
What material is the bolt that you have embedded into the zinc plug made of, please? Very good video indeed. Simple, to the point, and very effective. Thank you..
maybe a self loop generator might work..an ac induction motor running with large flywheels coupled to a permanent magnet alternator (Chas Campbell system)perhaps?
fidel catsro This is a motion-less way of getting electricity. So, if your saying if your proposal is better than this, it's best for the one that says it to do it first than suggest it to another.
You need to redo your calculations. This cell produces 90mA at 15V i.e. 1.35W. Since an ordinary fan heater requires 2KW it would take almost 1500 of these simply to produce 2KW. It wasn't made clear in the video how long this cell could sustain 90mA. It could easily drop to a tenth of that within few minutes. 200 of them wouldn't do anything very useful apart from consuming a lot of money. These may last a long time but the power output is very low.
This is giving me some ideas for some EV builds. Do you have any information about optimal operation temperature, can it be scaled to 36v, how hard is it to find magnesium electrodes your using and can it be "recharged" or do you have to change the electrolyte?
Hi! :) I'm very interested in this crystal cell technology and am looking to try an experiment using crystal cells on a far larger scale. My question is simple. Is there any specific reason for using the copper and magnesium? Copper as the containment vessel and magnesium as the core. Can these materials be switched in position or other materials used in their place such as steel as a containment vessel and say copper as the core. I'm almost thinking it probably runs along the same lines as touching a dissected frogs leg with two metals and it jerks and twitches. My goal is to make enough of these cells to run an experiment in running a modest moderate power usage home off them. A complete electric company free green friendly home as the basis for use of just that much less fossil fuel as a pollution free alternative for perhaps the future building of an entire project community. Utilizing abandoned tracts of land either abandoned by flooding in the south or just unused property, my main and ultimate goal would be procurement of the tract of land, construction of homes made with hempcrete and other such natural and recycled materials and then fitting all homes with a crystal power cell electrical source. The goal would be that not even one telephone pole have a power line attached, telephone and cable vision wires only. Next phase after creation of this small community would be finding interested and like-minded people's to occupy and test and evaluate the entire community as a whole and individually by criteria I'm still in the process of thinking out in full. I had started this project out thinking wind and solar as a base for the experiment but this!!! This was an incredible find. I was researching Nicola Tesla and Tesla Coil power distribution when I came across a John Hutchison part of a video on Tesla coils used for the Philadelphia Experiment. I went into John Hutchison, brilliant man btw, and that's what led me here, a search for crystal cell tech. Now that I've seen this, I can with high probability bypass the pollution it took to make solar cells and/or wind turbines which where my original plan and add that to my equations for being as pollution free as possible or keep them in the equation for use as a viable backup. Any and all material information is so welcome you couldn't even begin to believe the value I have for information on the materials and the how's and why's of them.
+Devina Danado Is there a specific reason for using magnesium and copper? Yes. Very much so yes. You need to research oxidation reduction reactions and how they are used in batteries. And there are a thousand ways to make a battery but none of them are particularly cost effective. This unit provides about 1.5 volts and 90 miliamps with is not enough to power very much, even if you have 1000 of them in a row it would just get too expensive. You have good goals and ambitions but they are a little unrealistic, you are basically trying to reinvent the wheel, which you are allowed to do, but the problem of sustainable community development will not be solved with batteries like this. That being said, research "liquid metal batteries" there is company called Alveo i believe that is working on a large scale rechargeable battery that can store megawatts of energy and it is basically made from earth abundant components.
Charmonium Pentaquark Wheel...re-invented sugah :) I'm currently running this computer off this tech and an inverter . I'm testing exactly how long they'll last for. The only snag I'm running into is the batteries size. Luckily my basement is fairly large. You mentioned a liquid battery which I'm already in the process of making based on this one. Instead of solidifying the crystal I'm designing it to have water added in a sealed condition. I will look into the oxidation angle too, thanks for the tip! :) Hey, I already know over a dozen ways not to make a battery so I'll keep chugging away at it till I get it right! :) .
Thanks for sharing, nice design. Those copper caps, home depot? Where do you get the magnesium cores you are using? Are you using a steel screw at the top? You don't start them off with an initial 12 volt start charge as I have seen others do? Does the size or amount of material alter the voltage or amperage?
Isn't this just chemical energy conversion. The ph of the material inside is stripping electrons off and the two differing metals creating a voltage differential, just like a lemon. What would be interesting would be to weigh everything, then run it got a year, then pull apart and check the weights again.
*facepalm* 1: this is not a lot, 2: the process used in batteries uses chemical energy to produce ELECTRICAL energy. its a process, the way something is done, how things works. Oh bollocks, I'm not even going to try and educate you, you have the internet for fuck sake, go and learn something.
***** No, the electrolyte is solid, but amorphous, not a crystal. Who cares, anyhow? He built a primary battery, at high cost given the materials. Fun, interesting, educational; not "free energy".
Pusalieth"Crystal" does not define molecular structure, it defines physical structure.These batteries do not last "forever" and they are corrosive. what do you think happens to that magnesium in there.These are very amenable for portable power! what he is using ,the copper and magnesium are the basis for Lithium polymer batteries used in thin leaf form sandwhitched together for extremely high power output , ie;used in models helicopters,electric cars etc etc.
well, I can tell you the answer right now , with out having to wait a year or so. Providing the unit is sealed,to prevent any evaporation, the weight difference would be theoretically zero,since only electrons are moving through the circuit, from one pole to the other, its as simple as that.
only assuming the the chemical conversion going on is 100% efficient and that no byproducts or gasses are even produced regardless of wether its sealed or not. You obviously didn't get what i was talking about. If what you are saying was correct then batteries would basically last forever. I'm talking about the process that liberates the electrons, this is a another route to creating a pH differential battery.
At 00:06, the voltage is measured. At 00:15, the current is measured . A voltmeter can't measure voltage and current without changing the probe connections! Seems like anothe hoax!
I've created at least a half dozen of these with lab quality 99.9%+ pure salts, cylinders were in 1" coper pipe, and had magnesium anodes. Sure, I was able to power a small (very small) motor for 3 weeks but it eventually died. Amperage and voltage fluctuated during the experiment but in the end all cells eventually died. This is not a breakthrough power cell technique or technology. Several months later the cells still have not regained enough amperage to power the motor again. They are effectively dead.Initial power output was between 200 and 300 milliamps and about 1.6 volts per cell. Just tested, now cells average around 1.2v and 20-70 milliamps.
This would be a John C Bedini - Copper, Alum and Magnesium Battery. Very good application of his production process, the cell can be scaled up in size somewhat or boosted by using many in series.
to prevent it from bubbling up place a container with some water on the heater, and the stuff you want in it.. as the water gets hotter will warmup the material to prevent it from bubbling don't let the water boil, by (removing some and place cool water in) this process is used to cook recipes that can't boil.. at the end you will get a compact very dense material.
+Tiago Alexandre You are very intelligent, but need to study a bit of science. This crystal stuff requires a much higher temperature (than boiling hot water) to melt and fuse. Your idea is ok for warming baby's milk, not melt alum etc.
Kind of cool, but based on the title, I was thinking it would be a way of using crystal diodes to extract 'free' energy from the radio waves that are persistent all around us.
That is what an old-fashioned crystal radio does. However, the amount of power produced by something like this is absolutely tiny and for this reason, almost completely useless in practice.
You are wrong Rosen ..... This coo e scaled UP to ANY level of POWER and will become an IMPORTANT PART of the FREE ENERGY MOVEMENT which wll TOPPLE and DESTROY the FOSSIL FUEL OILY BEAST 666 by a SWORD of LIGHT and TRUTH in the MESSIANIC AGE of AQUARIUS ... !!! AMEN ??? LOL

AMEN ??? LOL !!!
Pusalieth Photons don't decay. Photons and electrons, and their anti-particles, are the only stable particles. At any rate even if they are someday shown to decay (into what?), it would have nothing to do with losing energy per squared distance.
Why don't you put a resistive load across the cell, depending on the value of the load in (Ohms), you can test the cells very quickly. Learn the basics of electricity!
I'm thinking of getting rectangular magnesium fire starters and putting them in a copper tube to make longer cells, any idea if that will work. Also how much does size matter here? Size of magnesium block, spacing between walls and such?
When i was 8 or 9 years old, i found an old book of ham radio. From it i learned many things. The first was making wet cell batteries using sal amoniac desolved in water as an electrolyte. After making enough cells to power the transmitter i built shortly after, the parents of my
friends considered me a possible hazard to their sons. But that was waaaay before the nitroglycerin incident...
Wait... I am not the only person wondering TH-cam that had a nitroglycerin incident? This could be good... or bad news.
🤔😊
What was the nitroglycerin incident???
I know this is an old video, but thought someone might be interested in what was going on. When you heat the mix of salts the Epsom salts release some of the water trapped in the crystal structure allowing the mixture to partially dissolve. You end up forming a "dry" electrolyte copper/magnesium cell.
I’d be curious to see the difference between the different ratios as I think with a tad less borax it would bubble less
thank you
The term "dry cell" just means that it does not use a liquid electrolyte. Even the driest dry cells require some level of moisture on the inside, otherwise no electrolytic reactions can take place, but the electrolyte is dry enough to become a paste and thus it can be used in any orientation. Unlike a wet cell, which even when sealed is not recommended to use in other than an upright position, e.g. a car's lead-acid battery.
th-cam.com/video/IXTUHLrDBZM/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, a lot of effort to produce a seriously badly-designed dry cell, then convince youself the power is magically coming from the crystals and not the difference in electrode materials.
The stupid, it burns.
You should clean the copper base in vinegar and salt then rinse off with water and dry. No need to sand, and improves conductivity (you had a dense layer of copper oxide when adding the mixture)
I'm looking at this from a purely physical manufacturing angle, and think the efficiency & energy density can be greatly increased. Instead of a copper pipe end cap, a honeycomb structure of copper, solid sheet on the bottom, open on top. For the Magnesium, instead of a solid round cylinder, a flat sheet with hexagon shaped shafts coming out of it, properly sized to 'nest' inside the copper honeycombs with the proper spacing. Place the copper honeycomb on the hot plate and fill the cells with the powder. Heat to the proper temperature, getting the solution to just the perfectly mixed viscosity, then lower the magnesium panel into it from the top (with insulated bolts/spacers around the outside between the plates to keep them perfectly aligned and spaced). Then, pull the whole cell off the heat and set in the cooling tank, until curing is finished. Positive connects to one side, negative to the other side. They could be stacked in series, just like stacking the flat button-cell batteries we use in watches & hearing aids.
Hmmm. That is a good idea
Nice idea, but very expensive and time consuming to manufacture.
Why don't you demonstrate on a video in response to this video. That would be very cool.
the hexagonal shapes would be extremely expensive, how about overlapping sheets? like how capacitors work except with electrolyte instead of a dielectric
yes no now that’s the idea. Like a spiral?
Fun note, I think this battery lasts so long because something cleans the reaction surface as Magnesium hydroxide [Mg(OH)2] doesn't dissolve in water. Since salt solutions can temporarily produce strong acids, this cell can produce HCl and HSO4 to react with any Mg(OH)2 that may propogate, and since MgCl2 and MgSO4 are soluble in water it clears the Magnesium surface to allow more galvanization. So that's a cool Hypothetical.
Why don't you cook the mix and then pour into the mold? That is how I do for my rocket's fuel grains.
I would like to support you by buying your products, that you build. Like the atmospherics type of technology ! Thank you for your work !
I love you. One of the only clear concise videos.
If you know the chemical reaction which is taking place, you could find a theoretical ratio using stoichiometry.
@xlioilx How can it be shady? He is up front with his claims and lack of claims..... SMH It works, give it a rest.
@@stevenfeil7079 It is also really dangerous.Giving incomplete info is worse than giving no information at all. He is giving people just enough information to hurt themselves. Borax has a very high PH and should not be used without thick gloves and a respirator. Inhaling the dust when opening that grinder can actually kill you when it mixes with the moisture in your air ways and lungs. Not a single safety warning and he is demonstrating it in unsafe conditions / work practices. Someone seeing this video without knowing the dangers will do the same.
At first, I LOVE your videos.
At second...no,but I enjoy them.
You, my Friend, are very unsafe.
Your life is yours,however..you SHOULD tell people of the dangers you are facing, so that they can make an informed decision as to mimic you or not.
BORAX IS DANGEROUS to skin.
POWDERS are dangerous to inhale.
You simply do not provide enough information to warrant My Love :(
Parts lust?
Links to suppliers?
Gloves?
Respirator?
In another video you don't mention capacitor breakdown/leak..
@@excitedbox5705 Borax has a ph around 9.5, its safe on your skin to use as a soap and it's even used medicinally/nutritionally for a Boron source. Hence why the box even says "not for drug use". Do some research, Borax can be used for hair loss issues due to inadequate Boren intake, as well as for killing yeast and fugus internally and externally.
Yes mixing Borax with other chemical could be dangerous, but it's pretty safe to the skin and even if taken internally in small amounts.
onradioactivewaves I agree with you. It's also used as laundry detergent.
However those use cases are different then grinding into a powder that is breathable and also heating it, mixed with other chemicals.
I made this cell But I did not use heat. I added (mixed in) iron oxide (magnetite). I packed it as tight as I could. I used a one inch copper cap and a magnesium rod about one inch long. 1.43 volts, It really works great. Thanks much.
Any updates how long your cell last under load? What was your recipe?
Gratulations, 1 mil views after 5 years. Interesting theme and ...... well done!
Thanks for putting this on youtube. I have toyed with the idea of trying this and I think I'm going to give it a shot after seeing this video.
I was curious how well this cell performs. So, I built one yesterday and have been playing around with it. Mine is the 2" cap like yours plus a 3" pip soldered to it (like half of a pipe bomb). It gives a 1.23 volt open circuit and about 25 mA short circuit that drops to a steady of 10 mA (0.45 volts).
The only change I made; is I used pure KCL (potassium chloride) instead of the no-salt.
One thing I noticed; when I first built it and it was hard enough to handle, the Copper was positive and the Magnesium was negative. When it cooled completely, it reversed its polarity. Is that what you have lasersaber?
The jewel thief circuit I have doesn't run bellow 5mA and was wondering if you can post the one you're using.
Thanks for sharing. Excellent Channel.
I have been researching for about 3-4 years on how to get energy very cheaply that lasts a long time and is good for the environment. Then I found this video about a week ago and I checked out his channel and he seemed like a legit guy so I decided to get the parts and build it. I finished building it today and I couldn't believe it. It Works!! Make sure to try and build it because this battery is amazing. I plugged a motor to it and I'm going to test it for a week, if it goes for that long then I will be amazed!!!
I too would like to know the run time.
Robert Roark it has been running for 2 and a half days running a small motor so far :D

So many years later (2019) but it would appear that melting the ingredients in the copper cap fully, then pushing the center Mg core into the melted ingredients afterwards would be quick and easy. Any issues here?
am able to create 3.5 amps with .75 volts with your basic recipie and the addition of one more. using a carbon/graphite + and aluminum channel 2in tall x 1.5 in wide x .5 in as ground. has been running in series and parallel for several years. so thank you lasersaber for your video. was a great place to begin.
th-cam.com/video/o3PZAgpVUpQ/w-d-xo.html
I love it. Thanks so much for the tutorial! I am going to send my Dad this link.
Ive built one for my hearing aid it works great, the only problem is its size, so i had to tape it to the side of my head, since doing this Ive notice that when i go for a meal everyone runs out of the restaurant.
This is just chemical energy conversion a LED will run a off a lithium battery for 12+ years as some led esp blue will run on micro amps. Camping fire strikers are magnesium but expensive It does work out cheaper just to buy a battery, but this vid is good learning material.
If you go to any army surplus store you can get a big chunk of magnesium in the form of a fire starter for a pretty good price.
Its not always about what is cheaper. Its about not having to use money. Make things with what you have. If you happen to have all the ingredients, you save yourself the money.
@(JD) Juan Gonzalez Flores no problem, also, if you have a harbor freight near you they sell the same fire starters for a super cheep price, like a $1.75 each, or something close to that
patrick gardner are they pure magnesium?
@@haveaniceday7950 probably not, but very very pure.
Man I had a hard time finding your video. It's been awhile. Thanks for still being here and doing this. Is it still running
Always wondered what went into a crystal cell. Nice video.
Have you ever thought about dumping all of the ingredients in a ball mill? Would mix and pulverize everything all together :)
Did you try to recharge it, perhaps you already do it until a certain using time ?
Or
Is it a trash battery, when ended des assemble the pieces cleaned up the oxydation and replace the electrolyte ?
Last questions
how long use possible and wich power in volts and amps do you obtain ?
Most of the time, obviously
I need a hole room full of these. cool vid keep em coming
How am i just now finding your channel? Alternate power source. I love it! Im going to have fun here!
Michael Donelljr : Same here.! I Néver heard of him nor that crystal power cell.! I gotta know more of that....
what would happen if you were to fill the copper bit let it liquefy then once it was uniformly melted move the copper into the cooling stand and then push the magnesium core into it while still liquid.
also have you tried cleaning the oxide layer off the magnesium bar. and possibly using a lathe to cut fins into the magnesium to allow for more surface contact.
what if you used a magnesium wire coiled around.
Wow. Great ideas.
i like you
Sounds good except that he wanted to keep the mixture out from underneath the Magnesium to keep it from pushing upwards over time.
I’m not sure if they’re great as batteries, but if you use two galvanized pieces of metal instead of zinc and copper, the capacitance as a capacitor is immense
I have made a few small crystal cells last year which are still holding voltage. I used a mix of Alum, Potassium Chloride, Zirconium, and Zinc Oxide. I used copper for my anode and zinc for the cathode. Heat applied seems to increase voltage as cold decreases it. Each small cell produces between 0.50 to 0.90 V DC but fluctuates based on current room temperature .
can't wait to make mine. your videos Rock!
I think that the most important thing of all these DIY batteries is to measure which method is better in terms of Energy Generation and Lasting AND COST. I have seen over here in TH-cam some other projects with batteries made with cheaper elements that generate the same amount of energy. What will be the advantage of your battery?
I wonder if a thinner layer of crystal would yield better results?
Also, I wonder if plates of metal might work better as they'd have a greater surface area.
Can you explain why you need to use all 4 of these ingredients? I have seen other peoples batteries with only Borax and / or epson salt.
Also, other people have "grown" their borax crystals.
Love your work, keep it up

Thank you very interesting . The materials need to be ground up and heated to a small boil then let solidify . You answered my question.
Thanks Lasersaber - more inspiring stuff!
Question: do yo have to add water to the cell every once in a while?
Could you use an ionization chamber to harness the particles coming off something very small and radioactive? I've been thinking about it for awhile, and I think you could use an ozone generator in reverse, maybe inside a lightbulb under vacuum to lower the voltage necessary to get across the gap. Failing that, try a wire sphere or a bunch of circles of wire around and very close to the material, then a bigger sphere, or circles, further out. There should be a voltage between those 2 wires, you might even have enough to light a small LED for 50 years.
Yes, that is called beta-voltaics (similar to photo-voltaics). It takes advantage of radioactive materials emitting beta particles. The voltage is generated exactly as you suggested (by beta particles intersecting at right angles to a copper line). This is a specialized source of power that has limited applications (pace makers, remote electronics power sources, satellites) due to its low voltage and low current. But, it has long life (which is a function of the material's half-life. You can actually buy beta-voltaics batteries. It's perfectly normal but a little on the pricey side.
Hello Lasersaber,
Have you tried using graphene mixed with polyurethane onto your copper to help reduce the corrosion?
The copper is used in the reaction that produces electricity. You wouldn't want to coat the copper in anything. That would be like saying "wouldn't it help to take the clamps off your battery terminals, place tape over them, then put them back on?"
@@tcolondovich2996 That's why he added graphene, a highly conductive nano particle that would allow the conductivity to still happen. It's what our sick freaks in dee cee are putting in the cure that was never a cure at all but a filthy trick to get it in us.
Gracias por compartir tus conocimientos,saludos desde COLOMBIA SURAMERICA.
Ever thought about using nitinol to squeeze a crystal cell into producing more voltage? I've been wanting to try it but I just haven't had time to get a good crystal cell.
nice to see the Baghdad battery is making a come back
not even close, but i bet you felt smart saying that.
Home made chemical battery. The slower the reaction, the longer the shelf life and that's about all you can get from these. Great way to use up what would ordinarily be the leakage any battery experiences. You want long term *and* high power when you need it (none available in the meantime), make a Zinc Air battery of the "dry" kind. It generates no power and has no leakage until you add water to the electrolyte. Then you can get Kilowatts.
Thank you so much also have you thought of using a vibration plate to remove bubbles maybe even specific frequency or maybe vacuum cooling. Finally what are you thoyghts on orgonite ad would it's application by applicable here?
if you are planning on making several of these, I would suggest using a stand mixer for your dry ingredients.
Hey lasersaber I made your crystal cell battery for my science fair project I really like this idea Thanks
How long did it have power?

@@MikinessAnalog i think Carles meant hé
Well I'm guessing that what he is using that runs off this battery only draws a low current.
you're a dmb fk, it doesn't provide any energy after 10 minutes after it cools down and the metal wears off as well
I love stuff like this. what about sealing the top with silicone putty? (to seal in the moisture?) also, what is the cell's C rating?

It would be helpful if you wrote the ingredient list and written instructions in the description so that the hearing impaired can take advantage of this.
TH-cam does have close captioning available which automatically tries to convert the speech into text on the video, but it is not always accurate and often misses things if the volume level on the uploaded video drops, however the person posting a video can add annotations to the video and can add links, formulas and other useful information to the description.
SocietyofEnoch I see you everywhere.
all half cups: Alum; Potassium Chloride; Borax; Epsom Salt. mix very well...has Magnesium Core, and copper pipe as a holder. Have on low heat otherwise boiling over is going to happen. let sit for half hour
You could actually use this to charge up a capacitor bank or an array contain both Battery & Caps... How do you know its not re-chargeable? have you tried it..
it is rechargeable you just add a few drops of water also he said hes got a live feed on one that's been running a small motor for over 2 years
sure would like to see the current while its liquid and hot.
first of all I love your work I've been watching your channel for years I am a big fan of yours I have a question or two?
1.are these crystals cells rechargeable if not,
2. do you think it is possible to create a cell like that that is rechargeable?
3. how fast can a crystal battery like you cooked to run out of Power with a regular small DC motor connected to it?
and again thank you for all this great information you share with us ! we are truly grateful and keep up the good work you are truly a master of your domain
I do believe they recharge themselves.
awesome video, well done!
Simple gavanic potential differences of metals. Take two dissimilar metals and they have a potential different (voltage difference). Thats why using the wrong kind of bolt, or not insulating the bolt when fastening metals plates will corrode and break within a year or two. Statue of Liberty had this problem because it was made of copper.
The amount of current from this is extremely low. You can increase the current by decreasing the resistance of the electrical connection between the two metals (best by touching them to each other directly).
When the surface of the less noble metals has corroded and breaks electrical contact with the other metal the voltage is gone and current stops, as does the corrosion process.
Using the salt mixture between the two increases the amount of metal in electrical contact but does not stop the corrosion. The resistance is also high so the corrosion is slower but the current is smaller than if you had used salt water in place of the solid salt.
The amount of power the chemical reaction (corrosion) of the metals releases is extremely tiny and spread of a long period of time.
You could sell the metals for the pocket change they're worth, and buy 1000x the amount power of the power company that this would release.
The purpose of batteries is that they have the best balance of long-term storage and short-term release of their energy. This takes the long-term storage to the extreme with little to no short-term release of energy, to the point of being completely inpractical for anything.
You seem to know everything about chemistry and batteries. Can you make your own channel and show us how to make more efficient, powerful batteries. Thanks.

I remember seeing these power cells a few years back.
Cool thanks I hope I get the time /energy to build one.
slow release chemical dry cell, kinda handy for WW3, disaster or a zombie apocalypse I guess, need more power than that though. And calling it a crystal cell is a little misleading.
You my friend get an upvote.

or kinda handy for a nice CLEAN PLANET
Morlanius , there is a stupid idiot curios to test the science heard from high school in last 3-4 years. he is playng same like young boys
sounds like a reptilian phrase, Illuminati alert!
Setting the cells inside a bell jar under vacuum would solve any air bubble problems ;)
And on top of that use a vibrator to get bubbles out
i was just thinking about ultrasonic cleaners. fill it up with water, put your cell in a jar, and set it in the tank. stays dry and no more bubbles.
This is simply amazing!!! Do you think this could power a whole house if implemented on a large scale? Or what are the possible applications that this could be used for? Thanks
Wish he would have replied..
Assuming you want to use 1/2 cup of borax, which is approximately 68 grams, here are the corresponding amounts you would need for the other three ingredients to achieve equal moles:
Borax (Na2B4O7·10H2O): 0.178 moles
Mass required: 68 g
Epsom salt (MgSO4·7H2O): 0.178 moles
Mass required: 87 g
Alum (KAl(SO4)2·12H2O): 0.178 moles
Mass required: 134 g
Potassium chloride (KCl): 0.178 moles
Mass required: 13 g
The fact that the magnesium core has risen up out of the container may indicate that there was a chemical reaction between the magnesium and the powder mixture/copper cell, which caused the magnesium to corrode and produce hydrogen gas. This gas could have built up over time, causing the magnesium to rise up out of the cell.
This would be a good place to start to have equal amounts in the recipe. Hope this helps.
wouldn't it be easier to cook your mix and then poor it into the cell?
What are you planning to power with 10 of these? How much power are you expecting to get? Would power increase if you made one the size of a garbage can? :) I've also loved these since I watched Johns videos. I believe in one he had there was smashed up powdered quartz.
Current does increase with size. I want to try using the 15V setup as a charger. Depending on it's performance I may have other uses for it as well.
lasersaber
Once you fix the galvanic couple, magnesium and copper here; the voltage of the cell is fixed. Current density will be fixed for an electrode pair and the elecrolyte and the cell geometry used.
I know nothing of electronics, but smashed up Semi-powdered quartz is known as Sand.......that's exactly what sand is.
+thechazman47 the maker of the "bloom box" mentioned "the plates are constructed of sand." I know this is an old thread but seen that the other day. Kinda makes me wonder if the mixture was more exposed to air and carbons, if it might produce more power...
Super Awesome! Thx for sharing!
Have you considered using a vacuum to help get rid of internal bubbles?
Congratulations Mr. Luigi... you just reinvented the bimetallic galvanic battery!!! But I guess after 230years the patent must have expired!! LOL!!!
Excellent work, as ALWAYS!
Please allow me to offer my compliments to your wife. With ALL you have going on, she must be the MOST PATIENT person in the world!
=My wife would have me staked out over an ant hill if I had 1/4 the projects as you going on.
Outstanding research 😎
Might consider a stainless steel Outer sleeve to allow more crystallin Force to be applied to the magnesium
I just noticed you were having problems regulating the temp of the cap here are a couple suggestions if you don't mind.
In chem you can sink your beaker in play sand on a hot plate and it will evenly heat your substance, or maybe just heating water in a small pan with cap in center should evenly heat.
Hi Lasersaber, maybe it is beneficial to run a small load resistor during cooling already on the cell, so a current in the right direction is impregnated into the cell already during cooling ? Maybe around 500 to 1000 Ohm ?
It's worth a try. It would be a little like an electret.
have you tried this yet? did it work?
lasersaber after seeing this video im inspired to remove the electrolyte on my dead 6 volt motorcycle battery and then charge them up to several hundred volts DC low current and then pour some hot beeswax into it and let it cool slowly into an electret!! thanks lasersaber!!
is that even possible?
is that even possible?fidel catsro
Just a normal copper magnesium galvanic cell battery. Nothing magic going on here
Is it rechargeable, like with a solar panel?
Floydd
Pretty sure they aren't rechargeable
Yes a very long lasting battery that's still worth making..
Floydd You don't need to charge them.. they last for years..
fidel catsro Can they be charge with a 220V output or 120V? And YOU CAN CHARGE THEM TOO!?!??!
I'm going to make one just gotta know if its OK to charge with a 220V output!
What material is the bolt that you have embedded into the zinc plug made of, please? Very good video indeed. Simple, to the point, and very effective. Thank you..
Excelent brother....!!!! congratulations
This is very cool, man! Now, I just need to build 200 of these and I can be independent from the system. Crystal power, natures ultimate capacitor.
maybe a self loop generator might work..an ac induction motor running with large flywheels coupled to a permanent magnet alternator (Chas Campbell system)perhaps?
fidel catsro
This is a motion-less way of getting electricity. So, if your saying if your proposal is better than this, it's best for the one that says it to do it first than suggest it to another.
lumberluc yes I intend to try that self looper, just cant get the reliable people to make one setup currently as yet
fidel catsro
Then I believe the most reliable person there can be for you is the one who looks back at you in the mirror.
You need to redo your calculations. This cell produces 90mA at 15V i.e. 1.35W. Since an ordinary fan heater requires 2KW it would take almost 1500 of these simply to produce 2KW. It wasn't made clear in the video how long this cell could sustain 90mA. It could easily drop to a tenth of that within few minutes. 200 of them wouldn't do anything very useful apart from consuming a lot of money.
These may last a long time but the power output is very low.
Since it's 1.5v anyway, use small-diameter pipe and magnesium nails, and presto, you got ya some copper-mag AA's
Write my kids toy cars would run forever
Recipe is simple enough do it to it
they give much less energy than common AA. But they last forever
Thanks for this, VERY interesting :)
This is giving me some ideas for some EV builds. Do you have any information about optimal operation temperature, can it be scaled to 36v, how hard is it to find magnesium electrodes your using and can it be "recharged" or do you have to change the electrolyte?
half a cup each of: Alum, KCl, Borax, Epsom Salt
Magnesiun core, copper pipe cap.
Hi! :)
I'm very interested in this crystal cell technology and am looking to try an experiment using crystal cells on a far larger scale. My question is simple. Is there any specific reason for using the copper and magnesium? Copper as the containment vessel and magnesium as the core. Can these materials be switched in position or other materials used in their place such as steel as a containment vessel and say copper as the core. I'm almost thinking it probably runs along the same lines as touching a dissected frogs leg with two metals and it jerks and twitches. My goal is to make enough of these cells to run an experiment in running a modest moderate power usage home off them. A complete electric company free green friendly home as the basis for use of just that much less fossil fuel as a pollution free alternative for perhaps the future building of an entire project community.
Utilizing abandoned tracts of land either abandoned by flooding in the south or just unused property, my main and ultimate goal would be procurement of the tract of land, construction of homes made with hempcrete and other such natural and recycled materials and then fitting all homes with a crystal power cell electrical source. The goal would be that not even one telephone pole have a power line attached, telephone and cable vision wires only. Next phase after creation of this small community would be finding interested and like-minded people's to occupy and test and evaluate the entire community as a whole and individually by criteria I'm still in the process of thinking out in full. I had started this project out thinking wind and solar as a base for the experiment but this!!! This was an incredible find.
I was researching Nicola Tesla and Tesla Coil power distribution when I came across a John Hutchison part of a video on Tesla coils used for the Philadelphia Experiment. I went into John Hutchison, brilliant man btw, and that's what led me here, a search for crystal cell tech. Now that I've seen this, I can with high probability bypass the pollution it took to make solar cells and/or wind turbines which where my original plan and add that to my equations for being as pollution free as possible or keep them in the equation for use as a viable backup. Any and all material information is so welcome you couldn't even begin to believe the value I have for information on the materials and the how's and why's of them.
+Devina Danado bump
+Devina Danado Is there a specific reason for using magnesium and copper? Yes. Very much so yes. You need to research oxidation reduction reactions and how they are used in batteries. And there are a thousand ways to make a battery but none of them are particularly cost effective. This unit provides about 1.5 volts and 90 miliamps with is not enough to power very much, even if you have 1000 of them in a row it would just get too expensive. You have good goals and ambitions but they are a little unrealistic, you are basically trying to reinvent the wheel, which you are allowed to do, but the problem of sustainable community development will not be solved with batteries like this. That being said, research "liquid metal batteries" there is company called Alveo i believe that is working on a large scale rechargeable battery that can store megawatts of energy and it is basically made from earth abundant components.
Charmonium Pentaquark Wheel...re-invented sugah :) I'm currently running this computer off this tech and an inverter . I'm testing exactly how long they'll last for. The only snag I'm running into is the batteries size. Luckily my basement is fairly large. You mentioned a liquid battery which I'm already in the process of making based on this one. Instead of solidifying the crystal I'm designing it to have water added in a sealed condition. I will look into the oxidation angle too, thanks for the tip! :) Hey, I already know over a dozen ways not to make a battery so I'll keep chugging away at it till I get it right! :)
.
Devina Danado how is it
Thanks for sharing, nice design. Those copper caps, home depot? Where do you get the magnesium cores you are using? Are you using a steel screw at the top? You don't start them off with an initial 12 volt start charge as I have seen others do? Does the size or amount of material alter the voltage or amperage?
Easily the best guide yet. You think with a few of these and a joule thief charging circuit you could slow charge the solar buggy overnight?
Isn't this just chemical energy conversion. The ph of the material inside is stripping electrons off and the two differing metals creating a voltage differential, just like a lemon. What would be interesting would be to weigh everything, then run it got a year, then pull apart and check the weights again.
*facepalm* 1: this is not a lot, 2: the process used in batteries uses chemical energy to produce ELECTRICAL energy. its a process, the way something is done, how things works. Oh bollocks, I'm not even going to try and educate you, you have the internet for fuck sake, go and learn something.
*****
No, the electrolyte is solid, but amorphous, not a crystal. Who cares, anyhow? He built a primary battery, at high cost given the materials. Fun, interesting, educational; not "free energy".
Pusalieth"Crystal" does not define molecular structure, it defines physical structure.These batteries do not last "forever" and they are corrosive. what do you think happens to that magnesium in there.These are very amenable for portable power! what he is using ,the copper and magnesium are the basis for Lithium polymer batteries used in thin leaf form sandwhitched together for extremely high power output , ie;used in models helicopters,electric cars etc etc.
well, I can tell you the answer right now , with out having to wait a year or so. Providing the unit is sealed,to prevent any evaporation, the weight difference would be theoretically zero,since only electrons are moving through the circuit, from one pole to the other, its as simple as that.
only assuming the the chemical conversion going on is 100% efficient and that no byproducts or gasses are even produced regardless of wether its sealed or not. You obviously didn't get what i was talking about. If what you are saying was correct then batteries would basically last forever. I'm talking about the process that liberates the electrons, this is a another route to creating a pH differential battery.
At 00:06, the voltage is measured.
At 00:15, the current is measured .
A voltmeter can't measure voltage and current without changing the probe connections!
Seems like anothe hoax!
What diameter and length of rod are you using? What diameter of cap? I need some specs.
Just wondering, could you melt the mix in a separate container, then pour in to the copper magnesium cell.
I've created at least a half dozen of these with lab quality 99.9%+ pure salts, cylinders were in 1" coper pipe, and had magnesium anodes. Sure, I was able to power a small (very small) motor for 3 weeks but it eventually died. Amperage and voltage fluctuated during the experiment but in the end all cells eventually died. This is not a breakthrough power cell technique or technology. Several months later the cells still have not regained enough amperage to power the motor again. They are effectively dead.Initial power output was between 200 and 300 milliamps and about 1.6 volts per cell. Just tested, now cells average around 1.2v and 20-70 milliamps.
Thanks Warren. Finally someone with some actual data, and useful information.
id like to see this scaled up
Try charging them back up
You can drive an aluminum and a copper rod into your sewage tank and do the same thing.
is it really possible to obtain power that way? i have sizable amount of aluminum and copper .. im might have to try it.. any suggestion ,,, thanks..
This would be a John C Bedini - Copper, Alum and Magnesium Battery. Very good application of his production process, the cell can be scaled up in size somewhat or boosted by using many in series.
to prevent it from bubbling up place a container with some water on the heater, and the stuff you want in it.. as the water gets hotter will warmup the material to prevent it from bubbling don't let the water boil, by (removing some and place cool water in)
this process is used to cook recipes that can't boil..
at the end you will get a compact very dense material.
+Tiago Alexandre You are very intelligent, but need to study a bit of science. This crystal stuff requires a much higher temperature (than boiling hot water) to melt and fuse. Your idea is ok for warming baby's milk, not melt alum etc.
I havent seen him reply to even one post. what does that tell us!
Kind of cool, but based on the title, I was thinking it would be a way of using crystal diodes to extract 'free' energy from the radio waves that are persistent all around us.
That is what an old-fashioned crystal radio does. However, the amount of power produced by something like this is absolutely tiny and for this reason, almost completely useless in practice.
You are wrong Rosen ..... This coo e scaled UP to ANY level of POWER and will become an IMPORTANT PART of the FREE ENERGY MOVEMENT which wll TOPPLE and DESTROY the FOSSIL FUEL OILY BEAST 666 by a SWORD of LIGHT and TRUTH in the MESSIANIC AGE of AQUARIUS ... !!! AMEN ??? LOL
U are correct T Qadaly ,,, I have tried it and it works beautfifully and it can be SCALED UP to whatever POWER levels needed and WILL help to TOPPLE and DESTROY the fossil fuel OILY BEAST 666 by SWORDS of TRUTH and LIGHT these HEAVENLY DEVICES produce in UNLIMITED amount forever !!!! AMEN ??? LOL !!!
Pusalieth
Photons don't lose energy per squared distance. You simply collect fewer of them per the square of distance.
Pusalieth Photons don't decay. Photons and electrons, and their anti-particles, are the only stable particles. At any rate even if they are someday shown to decay (into what?), it would have nothing to do with losing energy per squared distance.
Would be interesting if you connect a few of these in series to one of your supercapacitors to get more current
Great video
Where do you get the magnesium core?
So you reinvented the galvanic cell.... yawn
Yes, a shitty galvanic cell. But the electrolyte is a crystal, so it appeals to those who are fascinated by woo.
Why don't you put a resistive load across the cell, depending on the value of the load
in (Ohms), you can test the cells very quickly. Learn the basics of electricity!
I'm thinking of getting rectangular magnesium fire starters and putting them in a copper tube to make longer cells, any idea if that will work. Also how much does size matter here? Size of magnesium block, spacing between walls and such?
I wanna use this for heating/starting plants in the spring
I wanna eventually hook enough up so i can heat a tiny greenhouse all winter!
Then you're better off with a solar panel.
