When apples turn brown and when bananas turn black,that is melanin forming.I never knew that that before.

The dandelion cells hooked up in series(all six cells) is producing 7.00 volts and .50 mAs.  Thats 3.5 milliwatts.These are the cells with apple melanin and extra borax.triffid

........  I have been messing around with JTs lately but those will be used in conjunction (hopefully) with my homemade cells..... ;)
Happy experimenting,
PC

Anyone still looking for a good Joule Thief Circuit for testing might want to try this one.  Lasersaber released his Mini Joule Ringer Circuit and specified this toroid.
 
Small Toroid Filter

I have replicated that circuit and it is very good.  Also I have built a basic Joule Thief with this toroid and it is very simple and efficient.  As of today, this basic joule thief has been running 24/7 for 7 full weeks.  It consumes ¼ mA, the battery started at 1.54V and is now sitting at 1.31V.  The cheap (12.5 cent Dollar Store) battery has been between 1.3 and 1.31V for the last several weeks.  This is perhaps the best toroid I have used and it is already prewound.  I used a 2n2222 and 100K resistor in the basic circuit.
 
Below is a picture of this as well as a night light I made using the same circuit.  In the Night Light, I used a 100K trimmer pot so I can adjust the LED’s brightness plus a push button on/off switch.
 
Enjoy, Brad S

Thanks,b-rads,thats very helpful to us here at this thread.I plan to build a JT also.Have everything but the coil.




I put together 6 more glue cells but these use red cayenne pepper.Not exactly chili powder but its in there as an ingredient.


Once again I have three different electrodes in each cell.Borax treated magnesium,copper wire, and pencil lead.triffid

I went to the grocery store to look at the chili powder.Its mostly red pepper with some salt,garlic powder.I found one ounce on sale for $ 2.99.
Three ounces on sale for $5 dollars something.I decided to wait since the brands were not mc cormacks.That was the brand used in the u-tube clip I saw.Full circle is the brand of red cayenne pepper I used.They have that brand of chili powder at the store I went to.triffid

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolytic_capacitor  read about borax in this article!




Also did first volts and amps from the red cayenne pepper cells.Readings were done between the borax treated magnesium and copper wire electrodes.I got 1.48 volts and 1.5 mAs. Thats 2.22 milliwatts from one single cell.I will have to try some chili powder for sure.

An unusual store selling all kinds of stuff! http://www.aliexpress.com/fm-store/702365  carbon nanotubes and the like! must see.


likewise http://www.ecertec.com/powdprice.htm


Ecertec supplies piezoelectric and electrostrictive materials in both powder and finished ceramic forms.[/size]

A video from IB2 on using ordinary rocks from his driveway to make true rock batteries.Listen to how he treats his rocks and how he selects them.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gY18yt0ZzM8




Note too the use of aluminum foil as a rock holder/electrode.


I wonder how moon rocks would do?

Another video from IB2 on two quarters two magnets battery.He says power output varies with direction the unit is pointing north or west or east or south.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFYG4EFbhQw  triffid




I have two explanations.His little battery here is affected by the earths magnetic field or the 60hz cycle in the house hold wiring.
It would be interesting to see if it has a AC component to the voltage.

Another video from IB2,A pencil and paper water battery.Note the electrodes are the same material but the surface areas are different.

Thanks for the links triffid! I should have a few hours today to myself; Between catching up on laundry and taking care of business, maybe I will have some time to look through my old cells and/or make some new ones...
Happy experimenting,

Cool, thanks Brad! I'm sure I will make my way over to one of those threads here one of these days... Will check it out.
