Hi, I'm new here and I'm not sure where I should put this. I think this is in the wrong place, so maybe a moderator can move it to the right place.

So i was tinkering around last night with a couple of magnet batteries I slapped together. A magnet battery, as you know, is just a magnet and a metal piece with a wet piece of paper in between.

I'm using neodymium magnets from http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/6YA39, simple notebook paper, bits of punch-press metal pieces, a GTD-200A multimeter, alligator clips from Radio Shack, and water.

Here I am testing the first magnet battery which reads 0.56 DC volts:

Here I am testing the second magnet battery which reads 0.53 DC volts:

Here I have connected the magnet-side of one battery to the keeper-side of the other with an alligator clip. The combined DC voltage now reads 1.13 DC volts:

The voltage keeps climbing. After about 5 minutes it's up to 1.29 DC volts:

Anyway, I'm gonna go test some other things. Hopefully someone can use this.

Try powering a flashlight, or even a small LED.
