    My Latest Crystal Cell Battery Attempt...

    Well, it didn't turn out as I had hoped, but this is my latest attempt at creating a crystal cell that produces more than 1.5v... I was actually hoping for at least 3v, but that didn't happen.

    I started by mounting several oxygen free copper rods and magnesium rods into a 3" PVC sewer cap. I used superglue to hold them down, then mixed alum and Elmer's glue to coat the entire bottom.
    I then proceeded to use A1 Kanthal flat resistance wire to connect the anodes/cathodes together... Hoping to produce more voltage in a single unit instead of hooking several batteries together, plus hoping to produce more amperage by using resistance wire instead of copper...
    I then mixed ground activated carbon and mixed it with sodium silicate solution to add a small layer to the bottom...
    Then I sprinkled alum on top of the carbon...




    Then some epsom salt...



    Then some Rochelle Salt crystals that I made...



    I then created a mixture of Borax crystals, Alum crystals, Rochelle crystals, and potassium chloride together with some sodium silicate solution and mashed it all in as tight as I could....



    I them sealed the top with a 3" sewer cap plug. I used hot glue to seal the lid down... It is allowed to vent through the holes that the 2 posts are coming out of...



    I attached an external power source to set the polarity charge on the battery for a few minutes and then let it sit. At the time of this post, the unit is only producing 1.168v @ about 40mAh.

    I will have to wait a few days to get a true reading as the sodium silicate cures and fuses it all together... But I am a bit disappointed at the initial readings I'm getting from it.

      Did you use the image icon to specify the url of the image?

      that is the icon I mean.

          Tested it this morning, still holding at nearly 1.2v. However, it has raised up to 51mAh. Interesting.....

            crystal cell

            When you have multiple + and - electrodes in the same base, they can short together a bit and decrease what you get at the ends. It's usually better to isolate each + and -, might get more voltage and current for the same materials.

              This evening I placed it under a load using a joule thief and a red LED...
              It quickly dropped to .596v, and appears to be staying there...
              I'm going to leave it on all night and check the voltage in the morning.

                Good Morning!!! After leaving the JT on it all night, the voltage has dropped to .588v, so it hasn't lost much overnight, of course, its only a red LED...

                  Today I checked the voltage, and it has risen to .601v!
                  Which means that the voltage is slowly going UP while its under a load!
                  I really don't expect it to climb too much, but I find that this cell seems to be working better than any of the others that I have built...

                    Tonight's reading is relatively the same... .5995v

                    I'm going to give it a few days before updating again...

                      Today, I noticed that my LED went out....
                      I checked the voltage, and its over 600mv, but the led will not turn on. If I disconnect the joule thief for a minute, and then hook it back up, the LED shines for a few seconds and then dims out... but the volts stay the same.

                      I'm a little confused... I'm guessing that there is voltage with no current??? Im going to unhook it for a day and see how it recovers...

                      Whats your take on it?

                        well, I guess no one is interested... but I found the problem. The Joule thief I was using was on a solder-less breadboard, and it wasn't working because of that breadboard!!! Apparently the breadboard has a short or something wrong in it... So I made a new joule thief, but this one is completely soldered up together, with alligator clips for the leads.

                        As soon as I hooked it up to this battery the LED came on. That was yesterday. Today it is still shining just as bright as it did yesterday...
