measured
Initially I was very excited about this so I set out to take some measurements.
Procedure:
Measure the resistance between all of the contacts (leads)
How I did this was to:
1 Take a pair of leads & hook the DVM to them separately
2 Short them together
3 Release them
4 Let the DVM settle
5 Record the resistance reading
I did this for all of the possible combinations. I also swapped the leads of the DVM and repeated 1-5
My measurements resulted in the following in Mega Ohms:
- & + = 13 Meg
o & - = 6 Meg
o & - = 8 Meg
o & - & + = 10 Meg (this was a weird one ... did it several times)
With my dead Alkaline 9V @ 7V the driver circuit lit a red led at a dim output. I also lit the same led to the same dimness with a 6.8 Meg resistor directly to the battery.
I also measured 4.3 ma flowing from the battery to the Captret and 3.4 ma flowing from the Captret to the led.
The Casing & - form a small capacitor in addition to the - & +
THE ELECTROLYTE LEAKS ENOUGH CURRENT TO DRIVE AN LED
So make your own measurements and make a wise decision. Over Unity ? You decide. The enthusiasm was encouraging, but keep trying though.
I'm going back to the "This Is It" thread.
