Proof that Hutchison crystal power cells are real

[ashtweth]

Hi All, sorry if you were all aware of this
YouTube - ‪Proof that Hutchison crystal power cells are real.AVI‬‏

I want to demonstrate that the crystal power cells are extracting energy from an external source. This is most likely from the background electrostatic field. The cells are esentially an electret, an electrical version of a permanent magnet. The cells are made of pennies, rochelle salt and epsom salt. The epsom salt and rochelle salt are made into a paiste then dried into a waffer between the pennies. I disolved copper into the salts by using electrolysis on some copper wire submerged in the salt paiste. One penny, in a pair, is oxidized while the other is shiny and new. The crystals are polarized with a very brief tap of current from a power supply during the drying process. Cells should not be used until the crystal is completely dry. Once dry, they can be stacked to create voltaic piles. Once complete, power cells should be kept under load, otherwise they will build up excessive charge and short themselves out.

Apparently you can make higher power ones

Great info Ash

These are very cool. I'm going to order up some salts and see what different metals involved as the cathode and anode will work best. I've been wondering about John's cooked up batteries. He's a pretty wild cat.

Thanks to Teslacult for contacting John and asking for this recipe and trying it out.

Just for reference, and i'm not certain of many other currencies, but US and Canadian currency stopped using copper as the primary constituent in pennies in 1982 and since have used primarily 95% zinc. A real copper penny should be 3 times as conductive as a Zinc penny, so it will be important to at least be aware of the differences when comparing output.

I want to test out some electrolyte from a chemical supplier for my HHO so i'll add rochelle salt and epsom salt to the order.

Thanks Ash for bringing this up. I've been melting different rocks and welding crap together with my hydrogen torch lately and was thinking about Hutchison's batteries a far bit lately.

For those in the UK, the copper content in 1p and 2p's was reduced from 1991.

I'm another whose just getting into homemade batteries and also to have noticed Mr. Hutchison's release of several videos on YouTube in the past few days.
Whatever folks think of the eccentric chap, he makes us wonder with his wonders and with being open about it all that can only be good !
(not sure about the dressing as a woman in one video though lol)

I like the bit about having to keep the cells under load...another mind bender away from conventional thinking

Perhaps a daft question, but, what is the salt commonly used in bathroom salts ? the pea sized pieces found in green vases that old women put in a bath ?

[wizofid]

Thank you - I recall something like this from the early 70's, but then it kind of was poo-pooed on. I never had time to experiment. Cheers

In the video as "Carla" he shows that his new cells output only 7 mA. That's not much power from his "Power Cells, as he's been at this for a while now. I think he just wanted an excuse to wear the dress...
My cement cells output 1.4 volts,and 65 mA, each cell, and when connect in series will add up to any voltage needed.

You will have a hard time finding rochelle salts, and will probably have to make your own. Most bath salts were pulled from stores because of people using them to make meth with,or so the story goes.About the only kind you can buy now are epsom,sea and sodium bicarbonate.This is an easy way to build cells for power if you can find the ingredients.Good Luck. stealth

I think it is also called potassium sodium tartrate, so more options might pop up for that search term.

They do sell it on ebay, but seems quite expensive. All the other ingredients seem dirt cheap..

I wonder why didn't he mention anything about barium titanate?

[tecknomancer]

Rochelle Salt

Yes thanks,there are some around but very limited in quantity and as you said,very expensive if you can find it. I checked at some local retailers who couldn't even get it. All salts used to make bath salts are being pulled from the shelves.Soon you may not be able to find it at all. You can make you own though, if you want.Good Luck. stealth

used in photography so I found it cheap 1lb is $16.00 in the us hope that helps

Tartaric Acid, also called dihydroxysuccinic acid [HOOC(CHOH)2COOH]), is a white crystalline naturally occurring carboxylic acid; melting at 171 C, soluble in water and alcohols. It is obtained natually as a by-products of wine fermentation along with its salts. This natural acid is used as an antioxidant in food. Tartaric acid has two asymmetrical carbon atoms and three chiral isomers; the dextro-, levo-, (optically active) and meso- forms (optically inactive). The d- and l-tartaric acids are said to be enantiomorphs (each molecule is asymmetrical and has the mirror image of the other). There are two asymmetrical carbon atoms in meso-tartaric acid, but the molecule is symmetrical and does not exhibit optical activity; the optical activity is internally compensated, the effect of one asymmetrical carbon atom balancing the effect of the other. A pair of optical isomers such as d-tartaric acid and meso-tartaric acid, which are not enantiomorphs, are called diastereoisomers. Tartaric Acid is a useful raw material for the synthesis of other chiral compounds. L-tartaric acid (called also d-2,3-dihydroxysuccinic acid or l-2,3-dihydroxybutanedioic acid) is chiefly found in many plant especially grape. This form can be partially converted to the others by heating it with an aqueous alkali (potassium hydroxide) as the isomeric forms differ from each other in boiling points. It can be synthesized by the reaction of maleic acids or fumaric acids with aqueous potassium permanganate. Tartaric acid is biodegradable and no pollution problems are known. Tartaric acid is used chiefly in the form of its salts, e.g., cream of tartar (potassium hydrogen tartrate), Rochelle salt (potassium sodium tartrate) and Tartar Emetic (antimony potassium tartrate). It is used to enhance flavours in foods, confectionery and beverages. It is used as a chemical intermediate and a sequestrant and in tanning, ceramics, photography, textile processing, mirror silvering, and metal coloring.

Wrong!!

As usual wrong again Ash!

Firstly, where is the 'proof'?? Posting a handful of unsubstantiated Utube videos (along with a very sad and shameful one of JH in a dress), is hardly proof.

Scientifically analysing ANY so called 'crystal cell' is not a giant leap. Ever looked at the output on a crystal radio? What is it? AC or DC? Answer = AC until it is rectified.

IF these cells were harvesting static or anything from the environment, there would be at least the tiniest portion of AC....but there is NOT. It is all DC. DC is only from a galvanic reaction.

You know how else you can tell for sure it is galvanic?? Stick your so called 'dry' cell in the oven for 10 - 15 minutes until it is TOTALLY bone dry. Remove and whilst still hot, place the Multimeter on it....the output will be zero...NOTHING. Over the next day or so, as the ambient humidity wicks into the cell salts again, this will be enough to start the process over and voltage will reappear. This same test applies for the cement cells.

Why do you think the degradation is so slow and the amps so miniscule?? Everything is proportionate thats why! You boost the moisture and acidity like a standard wet cell and suddenly the amps will appear but the life will shorten.

Mucking around with these cells and cement type things is a joke and makes the FE community look uneducated ESPECIALLY when you start claiming it is something that it is not! If you read the history books, the French actually researched battery technology with this type of thing 100 years ago using plaster of paris as the medium before they later moved on to acidic pastes etc.

It's all Galvanic...wake up.

Well in defense, the woman did say that she was getting ac, but I can't trust someone's video until I reproduce the cell myself. Above all else, I'm glad he finally decided to release his recipe for all.

I don't think it is that farfetched to think that tiny crystals could capture energy, by way of the casimir effect. Who knows though, until you build and test it, everything else is just speculation. As for the moisture, it seems as though the sodium silicate should prevent moisture from soaking in.

Also I don't think Ash claimed anything. All he did was copy and paste the youtube video title..

They work fine. You got to understand that they are the same as a magnet except made from dielectric materials . The material is dielectric so current is not produced in vast amounts . It is a voltage potential source.

When a magnet is created they claim that they align the "magnetic domains". All materials can and do have so called "domains" . They can also be aligned just as in the process of making a magnet. Certain materials give better results than others.Where you have current flow you have a magnetic field. This indicates tremendous current circulating through magnets. Insulating materials such as plastics and many natural minerals resist current flow and will have voltage instead . Polarize (domain alignment) a dielectric and you produce voltage with very little current as long as the "domain" alignment exists. just as a magnetic field from a magnet

Faraday disk generator--Conductor? -yes=High current low voltage.

Wimhurst disk generator--Insulator? -yes=High voltage low current.

This has never been about if they are real or not . Its about making sure you and I never understand what they truly do and are. Electrets are what they are and now I have told you why they do it .

I am sure this post is going to get poo pooed on and that is fine but study them as a polarized dielectric instead of a battery. Go look at how magnets are made and how Electrets are made. Look up what Faraday said about Electrets.

Thanks Freezer , i think its worth looking into, I noticed the AC there also. Have not checked what the others are getting yet.

@Tesla project, Actually the idea came from TT brown, and i have not seen you build any thing to back up what your saying, you should look into a bit more , as for me being wrong as usual, i dont even know who the hell you are, maybe for a reason.I dont take any thing you said as seriously, not just for the content.

If you just took two minutes to get over yourself and weren't such a douche, you would realize that you dont need to know who I am nor do I need to stand in front of a camera talking a load of **** to 'prove' anything.

I just DO the experiments and then report the FACTS. Have you tried what I suggested? (putting those cement cells and other silly mixes in an oven until HOT and 100% dry). If you had, then you wouldn't have replied what you did.

You would see that it isnt a casimir bulldust effect and that it is all down to galvanics. Even a supposedly 'dry' paper towel (or thin tissue paper) between copper and zinc is 'wet' enough to act as the substrate for electron transfer between two dissimilar metals producing voltage. Dry that piece of paper 100% and you well get ZERO voltage.

Conduct the experiments instead of flapping your gums about casimir baloney and AC readings. I havent seen any of hutchinsons cells produce AC and out of all the experiments I conducted WITHOUT diodes etc, (making your circuit a radio receiver) I have never seen AC from a rock or one of these cement type cells. If it is there, it is incredibly tiny and useless.

Anyway, you go back to what you do best...shouting that there is FE where it aint before actually conducting in depth research. Oh...hows Steorn working out for you??

I am quite aware of TT Brown. You certainly don't need big piles of rocks if you are going to go to the trouble of building a radio receiver of any type!! LMAO.

Buffoon!

[Freezer]

I just DO the experiments and then report the FACTS.

Then by all means, post some FACTS, instead of ATTACKS..

Where is your experimental data? Where are these batteries that you have made? Lets see them.

Again all he did was post links to the videos.. He never made any claims..

Must actually be something here if there is such an opposition to it..
