Some one else(PC from this thread) came up with a 10mV JT.I have not put the circuit together yet.Need to wire my rocks together.See if I can get the voltages to add up.triffid

It appears I jumped the gun  when I announced a 10mV JT.It appears now that that measurement was in error.We still have a .136 volt JT floating out there somewhere.triffid




Sorry,about that.
We have no 10mV JT.

Hello t,

I believe this is the video that you were looking for.

I still think that lasersabers low power circuit is more efficient though.

Yes,That is the JT design I was talking about.I had bought some rectifier diodes to try to get a voltage as IB2 had done in this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBUdYXhsZZI&list=UURupjSpUsMEGphgXelQO-7A&index=8&feature=plcp.At the time I could not get a voltage with them so I put the two diodes aside.But today I put the two hooked up in series and got voltage ranging from .005 volts to a max of .048 volts.I got the most when they were in a n-s position.I used alligator clip wires from radio shack to hook them up with.triffid


I'm still waiting for conductive string.I will order it next week.

You know you can build your own conductive string or anything else.  Coat a surface with conductive nano carbon glue.

That conductive glue looks good too!Thanks for the link!triffid

No problem.

I have been meaning to coat a small piece of paper with this glue and then use that as insulation between copper pipe and magnesium ribbon but have not gotten around to it yet.  It may short or may act as a more efficient dielectric.

I tested my second JT output with the AC side of my voltmeter as someone here recommended and saw 2.7 volts coming out of it.Its powered by a 1.5 volt DC battery.Next week I order my conductive string.I figure its soft enough to tie to pencil leads.My last six cells made about 6/6 have good and strong magnesium strips in them.I did not have anything in there to weaken the magnesium.I did have alum and Epsom salts mixed together.I want to wire some flint rocks together to see if I can add up the voltages.


In further testing of my two storebought diodes I get voltages ranging from .008 volts to .010 volts when they are hooked up in series to each other.Once again the voltages are highest in a N-S position.


I also plan to grow a crystal with two electrodes sticking out of it.


I did not get a new camera phone.I'm saving 20 dollars a month on the phone bill by knocking off the internet section of my phone plan.

So 100 diodes of this type would give me 1.0 volts.Hooked up in series that is.Good thing electronic scrap is everywhere.triffid

What type of diodes are you using?

The two I tested I got from Radio Shack for over a dollar for two.They are epoxy rectifier diodes (3 amps,50 piv).To build any large array of them I would use electronic scrap as a source of diodes.old tvs,computers,you get the idea.triffid

It's an interesting concept (diode array) put a bunch in series and see if you can get some usable voltage to charge a cap or something.  Let me know how it turns out.

I would like to put them in a homemade chair that provides its own reading light.Or a coffee table with a light hooked up to it.Both pieces of furniture would hide the diodes.triffid

As always love your work. I was wondering if you can please try this use magnesium ash as the medium. I did and getting sweet results. Try mixing ash with glue to get an amazing lill battery. Just burnt magnesium ash and elmers glue with magnesium and copper electrodes. Has amps and gives me a reading of 1.25 volts waiting for the medium to dry might work well for a stovetop experiment.
As always thank you for your work

Muefedit,thanks for the compliment.I made a rediscovery last night.Last night I cooked some eggs for supper and got some eggwhite on my hand.I did not wash my hands for several minutes as I was busy and it dried on my hand like glue.Then I remembered that people have used eggwhites as a glue.I had forgotten that useful piece of info.Maybe a conductive glue can be made with powdered graphite and eggwhite?


Then back in the 1930s when my dad was a boy.He made homemade kites using flour and water to make a paste to hold the paper onto the wooden frame of the kite.So we are talking about glue here so I thought I would include it.




It turns out that eggwhites contain natural collagen and is good for putting on burns right after they happen.
