calcium chloride, dry batteries

John K,

You can easily buy some calcium chloride at lowes under the name DampRid, look for it in either the cleaning supplies or in the plumbing section. Its a moisture absorber. I have also used this material in battery experiments.

One other material I have used and might suggest for those of you looking into these "dry" batteries is sodium silicate, sometimes called water glass and can be found at pottery supply stores. This material when dry shares a similiar characteristic of the sodium chloride, as well as silica gel beads.

I began experiments with both sodium silicate and silica gel following up on work from John Hutchison, but my work took a turn from his electret type cells when i realized these materials were not good for electrets. However they are great desiccants, so they literally suck water out of the air and draw it into your cell. With these materials you may see potential to make a water cell that is maintenance free and possibaly better preforming that the air cell because they should draw in more moisture. And that became my goal with that project, i have one cell that has been running an LED for a year now constant. I really like John B's pyrite idea, i was always looking for materials that would not corrode and oxidize killing their performance and i think that might do well.

Personally, i am under the impression that all these type cells are chemical reactions that are taking place from the fact that water is never truely neutral, due to carbon dioxide in the air, forming a weak solution of carbonic acid. But i never got around to fully testing that theory.

Hey John B.
Nice vid
Thanks for all the info.

What is the setup you are using for the PC scope.
I want one !


Thanks

Yes, That circuit will work If you want to adjust a set level then put a 100k pot where the 20 k is and a 10K back to the positive of the battery is. Then you can set for each transistor. Make a box to do this and mark the dial. do reverse for NPN. That circuit is correct.

Hi John K, Mark P,

Most likely the reason the battery is charging is because the capacitor selected is to BIG and its not able to fully dump the charge before the next incoming magnet comes in to recharge the collector cap. Try using a cap half that size and see if that resolves the "constant on" state of the SCR.

SCR's are iffy this way. If the unidirectional pulse of current from the collector cap doesn't end before the next incoming charge pulse thats depositing energy into the cap hits it, the SCR will just keep on conducting. Saw this on a 15hp RV discharge circuit I tried to rig up... had this same problem... only in that case I fixed it by changing the load to something that lets the pulse more quickly fire and end. (a lower impedance load)

Anyways thats likely the issue.

Hi Mark P.,

Nice video, thanks for sharing.

I was able to get the RPM down by increasing the gap between the coils and the rotor magnets.

If the cap is not dumping and you are using the SCR/Zener/LED method it could mean that gate voltage is not high enough to trigger the SCR. But if that is the case it doesn't explain why the battery is charging.

Great looking setup!

Cody,
The problem with dry rock batteries is that you need Rhodium electrodes. I found this out experimenting. I asked Tom Bearden if he ever spoke to John Hutchison and He said no about that battery. Yes Water Glass works just fine if I doped it, which John H is not going to say.
(Government Surplus Crystal Rhodium coated Quartz Discs )

I have been grinding different rocks to make semiconductors for 30 years I have seen many different things. I will see what I can get working in a dry battery and post the information. John Hutchison will never tell you anything but I know that you can do it with the right electrodes. Cooking the mix is the important part as it forms bubbles where the energy collects around electrodes. I'm not quit sure that it is an electret , more like a solid state battery ( crystal lattice battery) (Casimir effect) ("Tesla also did this"). Hope you post some information on how you made the cell as I'm going to do that too.

Thanks for posting this information as it seems to be a whole new field in low energy powered devices. The next question that I'm looking into is very low powered Hall devices .7 to 1volt . So far I think I have located one from RHOM Electronics. They make some low power stuff. Each one of these batteries have a different waves on that motor which I'm storing in the digital scope.

SCOPE
Some ask what the scope is, it's a B&K 2542 DSO LCD Color.
Thanks

Great video ! I have had a great time looking at all you videos , i find it interesting to see how square the wave of iron is .

I was also wondering if you could tell me if both coils the copper and the iron one wound the same way from what i can see the iron is clockwise top going , is the copper one the same ?

I hope you could answer , i know this seems less important to most but not to me .

Thanks in advance !

I have wound all the coils the same way.

John,

Happy to share what i got. I made numerous small scale test cells starting off by probing rocks for voltage and then later finding the important ingredient seemed to be the silica, i moved on to sodium silicate and silica gel, as well as perlite. I was heating them and applying HV DC. All my testing lead me to believe that it was really just a galvanic reaction taking place due to silica's desiccant properties, so the best output, from my opinion, was from the water in the material and the dissimilar metal electrodes. Having said that, i still see the possibility for the crystal diode explanation since its putting out DC.

Here are some of my silica test cells. The one on the left is pure sodium silicate that i soaked a paper towel with and wrapped up a zinc coated nail and graphite from a carpenters pencil. This was heated and let to dry. The paper towel really helped keep this thing staying together over time, you can see the other cell is cracking. The next is sodium silicate mixed with crushed silica gel beads that was heated and put in a pvc tube to dry with the electrodes in it and then removed.



Once i was convinced that the effect i was seeing was really from acidic water (H20+CO2)and dissimilar metals, i moved on to a different approach. Trying to take advantage of desiccants for a maintenance free water cell. I moved on to a concrete morter mix(which of course has silica in it) mixed with water and calcium chloride. I forget the exact proportion i settled on, i think its in my notes somewhere. Either way, that is the cell below which has been running the LED for just over a year now. The output is not that strong but it is continuous so far. Not sure if the calcium chloride is consumed over time, im no chemist, so it may not be necessary. The electrodes are copper and aluminum. You can see the copper is starting to corrode, this is why i prefer graphite as well as your pyrite idea.



I remember reading about your quartz and rhodium experiments somewhere and would love to hear about them. Im pretty sure John H is using a barium titanate mix which i think would work for an elecrtet type "battery", but i have yet to get my hands on that material to test it.

Cody,
Yes that is right, I will find out where to get barium titanate I think That Bob Lazar at.
United Nuclear , Scientific Equipment & Supplies. Might have the chemicals to do this. I want to run the SG 3
On this energy. I will start with a miniature first.
I will see if or where my lab notes are on this. I must search through 10 different outboard drives.
Thanks for posting this work.

This is what I did to match the transistors beta.
I just switch the pos. and neg. from the power supply in the banana jacks, reversed the amp. meter, and was able to test the PNP's and NPN's with the
same little set-up.
Here's two short videos.

John K. and Visse,

I think I addressed both of these today. I put an amp meter on and I am below
one half of a amp all the time now.
I also did try some more cap sizes. The one that
I feel is working the best now is a 25v 2200 uf. The led gets brighter and then
discharges. It does this just over one time per revolution. The battery is charging now for sure.
My RPM is back higher, but I may try to put a small
load on the wheel just to slow it down some more.
Here's a video of the latest cap change.

Quote:

I did not test on 24V yet, but could I suggest that you insert an ammeter on the input supply and monitor that while adjusting the hall timing. If the dwell gets too long, meaning the hall is positioned in the middle of the round ceramic, the circuit can easily draw over 1A from 12V and that will heat up the transistors if you leave it like that.

I just inverted the polarities on my 2 slave coil so they atract. I also adjust the coils accordingly. It runs much better. Much better charging than before.
Now after the latest info from John it looks like the slave coils should be double the resistance than all combined parallel wires of the main coil. For some reason I read it the other way round and have my slave coils half the resistance of the main coil. I will change it by winding an extra winding on my main coil to lower the resistance and see what the improvments are.

Visser,
I while back you posted this statement. Did you have any futher testing to
show that this was a good idea?? I would like to keep progressing while the
ball is rolling. My slaves are also half the master.
And if one where to add a winding, what are we aiming for??

Mark P.

[nvisser]

John gave the measurments in post 861
The big coil =, if you tie all wires together 4.2 OHMS
Outside coils #15 wire I have chosen 2000 feet = 6.368 Ohms each coil Can't Change that.
1.82 Ohms Total all coils together.

The idea of adding a winding to the main coil was to half its resistance . I only had one winding on it. I decided not to do it.
