    Crystal batteries use magnesium sulphate (Epsom salt) with other enhancements such as alum and borax as the electrolyte. The Epsom salt (MgSO4·7H2O) has seven water molecules which I suspect keeps it active in the solid state, particularly when packed very tight. I followed the craze and made one with LaserSaber’s recipe that ran an LED continuously without a joule thief for over a year, after which all I did was disassemble, clean off the electrode and copper pipe, reassemble and it ran for another year. The magnesium core was maybe 10% thinner and the copper pipe turned green. I reused the crystal mix. I broke it up, remixed and repacked it with a small amount of water. I’m sure I could repeat and keep recycling the same materials for a very long time.

    To improve the amps, simply build the volts with your earth battery. Then hook your earth battery to another battery or a solar panel wired in parallel. Wiring in series adds volts, like your earth battery and wiring in parallel adds amperage or current. The secret to making earth batteries useful will be mixing them with excellent sources for amps. A small modern battery has massive amps compared to your earth battery. So, build all the cheap volts in earth batteries and use a small battery to add amps into your circuit.

    I didn't know that about plaster of Paris and cells. It got me thinking though, I made aerated plaster of Paris as a possible interconnecting back stop to stop arrows without damaging them. If you added something conductive to the plaster of Paris then aerated it you would have effectively made a conductive doing to absorb electrolyte maybe reducing the resistance?

      two things can cause conductivity. ... in a wire it's electrons moving , but in an electrolyte solution it's the far larger ions that contribute to the conductivity... and If the flow of ions is blocked the cell will stop working.
      indeed I would expect adding say copper powder would be somewhat akin to a wire shorting between battery terminals. also would expect self discharge to increase .
      regarding aerated plaster of paris... I would have thought there would be an minimum optimum size for holes. along lines of tubes that have a diameter small enough that surface tension holds the electrolyte in place. or a mesh like structure so that electrolyte sticks.
      aerogels might be perfect. aerogell production usually needs high pressure during production. even in "thin wall", small diameter tubes can hold very high pressures. Aerogel could be cast ast in stitu... avoiding problems removing it from casing... something like AA size may work very well?
      would still be good to check if reality matches theory

    There are some new microcontrollers operating in the uA range EG the C8051F98x operates at 150uA per MHz. Standby is 10nA. So these batteries might work for decades if you are clever with your code so you can drop the clock rate. Some code can work with the old 32KHz watch crystals. They would be self discharging faster than using the power.

    I like the alum batteries, and you can use carbon and aluminum in those batteries. But carbon felt may be a good carbon electrode. But the galvanic voltage is good. Galvanic of lead and aluminum was as high as 3.7v in an alum battery but it had low storage capacity and evaporated too quickly. And the quirk of it was you could put a high voltage on it at a very low current and seemingly it would put out higher amperage.

    I wish i could give you more than one thumb up. Because what you sayed about crystal batteries are absolutely true. I made 8 crytal batteries each one is about one feet long metal pipes with a diameter of one inches zinc and 3/4 inches aluminum alloy i guess. As electrolye i used mixture of borax, epsom salt and alum. They indeed become a sticy solid electrolyte between my anod and cathode but they were only producing about 0,5V 7 mA dropped from 50 in the presence of a resistance. They are lighting a Led bulb but its very ineficient and costy way to harness energy with respect to earth batteries. I wonder if there is a way to use air as our electrolye. Giving electrons to move more easly than liquid ionic solutions. So we can increase amount of power we can extract from same materials with respect to using liquds or solid crytals as our electrolyte.

    internal resistance, can be useful in assessing state of batteries, especially rechargables.
    can calculate it by measuring what voltage the battery outputs open circuit... minimal current draw with a digital multimeter.. so resistance don't matter.
    And then the voltage across a resistor shorting the batteries output. measured voltage is gonna be lower due to potential divider effect of the external resistor and internal resistance being in series.
    internal resistance wastes energy of course. it's why batteries can get hot at large current draws.

    I’ve read recently about Lead Crystal batteries for motor home house batteries as they have good/high current, can run to almost zero volts without damage, and upwards of 6 to 8 thousand recharge cycles. Are those batteries the same technology as you describe in this awesome video/description?

    Most people who make crystal batteries wet the crystal. Obviously that is a galvanic reaction. But have you heard of Marcus Reids crystal cells. He has had them under load for 20 years with minimal corrosion and tiny power drop. And under analysis a portion of the output is unexplained.

    Didnt john bedini reuse the lead plates from used 12 volt automotive batt...in some of those crystal batteries.? He also did a strange pulse charge. He says he was going to disclose some of his crystal battery material. I don't know if he did. I guess to some that was the magical part. Although Rick I think did downplay some of John's work.

    Well, if you step it up with a transformer to a motor, connect the motor's rotor to that of an alternator's (or just slap a large stator to the motor itself), and then connect the alternator's stator back into the motor to drive current into it, there's no reason why you couldn't have that motor moving until the parts wear out or the crystal batteries expand too much to drive useful pressure into voltage. Pulling a simple lawn mower string or a bit of leather strap that's wrapped around the motor's rotor would suffice to initially send current to the motor. Any battery with decent voltage would work; it's just that organic batteries are sustainable so - why not? The real question is, does a more efficient organic battery exist to drive a voltage for current to travel on, later in the circuitry of an engine system than that of crystal batteries? Notice I didn't ask if there's one that drives higher amps - just voltaic potential is all that's necessary. If you don't believe it then say hi to the other "scientists" at church for me, because I won't be there. I don't believe in scientific ideas; I know them firsthand. And, I encourage you to do the same. After all, that's what a real scientist would do.

      Yes regular salt water will work as an electrolyte. The point he was trying to make is that many things will work as an electrolyte, some better than others. The faster the electrolyte can carry the electrons, the faster you can get the power out and the more power can be used in a shorter span of time.

      Regular salt will work but it's extremely dangerous. Because Clorine ions in your electrolye gonna stick to H atoms making lots of HCI. That is hydrocloric acid in your water and it can burn your lung cells inside out if you breathe its steam in. It also irritates eyes and damages your eye cells by making your mucous acidic. I remmoend to use bases instead of Acids. Also NaOH or KOH can be dumped to your garden as a fertilizer once you have done with your experiment.

    Well, there is another construct but I wasn't able at the time able to do it. Plus I was a lad of 15 and didn't have the knowledge to do it. If you can create a matrix of quartz in alignment. Then it will generate power. How much I can't say. But it's sort of like the super caps as far as the layering. The way it generates power is due to the piezoelectric principle by taking the surrounding waves like wireless, radiation, solar winds, cosmic radiation,etc,. What happens it isolation the crystal matrix and the result is power generation. As anything too much is likely to destroy the matrix and thus it stops working. Too little it doesn't do all that much. Well, on paper this was as far as I was able to take it as a lad but never looked at it again. But I guess you could make a battery just as they made those crystal batteries using granite which does work from what I have heard. But the problem with using that is the radioactive delay that seems to occur.

You gonna need two different metal put in each cup that's the hardest part cuz in the wilderness if you can find a piece of metal you can consider yourself lucy. Lets say you break your car and grab some metal parts with different elecronegativity and then you gonna need lots of electrolyte to fill up all cups. You may need help from your friends to increase volume of electrolyte and they can add their electrolytes into pee battery to charge the mobile phone.
