Here is a picture of my magnesium strip battery with carbon soot from a butane bic lighter.

Here is a voltage reading  caught at .009 volts.It was jumping around a lot.

IB2,thanks for the suggestion.I will consider it more when I get home.I had to make a 60 mile trip to get these pictures.triffid

I do think that the source of carbon and how you put it on the magnesium is important.My brother tried to help me yesterday by dipping two extra strips I had with me into molten candle wax and burning it off directly from the magnesium strips.Once the soot formed and the strip cooled down.I tried to see if I had voltage but I had none.When I get the time and the desire I will conduct more experiments with carbon.I am not my brother so I think he did it wrong.I would not dip it in wax at all.I would put the magnesium strip in the yellow part of the flame and deposit the carbon from the smoke directly on the metal.triffid

I am having a problem here.I am now suspecting my earlier readings of .6 volts and .003 mAs to be in error.I now believe I was touching the strip with my hand somehow becoming part of the circuit.I can get readings of .016 volts max without touching the strip at all.Just like the picture showing .009 volts.I was trying to make some new carbon coated magnesium strips today and was getting a max of .48 volts but I was touching the strip but without touching I get about .007 volts.I was touching the strip holding it with one hand and using the voltmeter probes on the strip itself.If I hold the magnesium strip like an antenna then I get increased voltages.Like ten times the voltage it appears..So I must say now that the higher volt readings are in error.When the magnesium strips are placed on a plastic lid none of them show a voltage until I get to the new carbon coated one.Then I can get .007 volts.The two my brother burned the wax on,one with just the borax treatment by itself show no voltage at all sitting on the plastic lid.If I hold them in my hand then I get voltages up to .48 volts this morning.triffid

I had this problem when I was working with earth batteries a few years back.Without realizing it I become part of a battery or the battery.triffid




Guess I'll have to wear rubber gloves?

IB2,I finally got around to doing that capacitor experiment you wanted me to do.Using a 50 volt/2200uf capacitor and a 9 volt battery.
I got 9.9 volts from the battery and could only get 8.8 volts tops from the capacitor no matter how long I left it hooked up.Once I had the voltmeter probes on the capacitor the voltage would start falling from 8.8 volts on down.


I am sorry that I have not done much here lately.Other things have come up.I was not able to order my conductive thread.The company did not like my debit card.My shipping address has to be the same as my mailing address and it is not at this time.triffid

Just thinking out loud here,If I crack a piece of flint rock can I get lots of little pieces making 1/1000 volt each?triffid






My magnesium strip is still producing electricity a max of .012 volts.Easy to get .004 volts.

My magnesium strip was made on july 22,2012.Today is august 8,2012.About two and a half weeks ago.Maybe I scrape a little more carbon off each time I handle it?Im sure I touched it when I got the .6 volt reading in the beginning.triffid

Interesting . Has anyone experimented with these metal combinations . Gallium ,mercury,zinc ,cadmium, Silver ,Gold ,Nitinol ,magnesium ,woods metal ,Indium and Bismuth . I have all these Metals in large quantity now . I will begin experimenting with melting various elements with carbon ,alum, calcium, silica  soon . I have connections with the suppliers of all the listed materials in 99.999% purity .   You can get  Crystals with most of these metals and salts .  .

I've played wih zinc, gold, magnesium, bismuth.


What are you planning on building?

For now Im resting I guess.I will have to find another source for conductive string.Not a source that refuses my debit card.Gold I have, mercury I have,Bismuth can be gotten.More bic lighters using butane as a fuel.The basement is cleaned out so I can move some egg cartons down there.free up some room upstairs here.triffid

Pirate Bill,thanks for likeing the 9 volt  jacobs ladder link.I thought we all should be able to generate some high voltage if we want it.triffid
