  • This is very interesting how do you create those battery cells? i want to get some and parrell a bunch.

  • Baking soda to water makes good for a electrolyte. about one or two table spoons per gallon

  • Nice!

  • I will make a bold prediction. The alarm clock will run fine, but when the buzzer wants to go off it will emit a faint beep for a fraction of a second and then the voltage will decrease because the batteries can't handle the "huge" load of the beeper. I had a digital watch that did the same thing when the battery was old.

    If you change the water for lemon juice you may get more electrical juice and then the beeper will work. The exciting world of chemistry!

  • It seem that the alarm will work fully, but it does dim the screen.

    More in parallel me thinks........

    It takes all kinds of energy to make lemon juice but scrap nails and discarded wire are free to me.

    How many to power an LED thief, do you think?

  • Hi Paul!

    You probably are aware that pure distilled water is not a conductor and your water batteries are just "treading water" with the small amounts of impurities present in the water. I think I used a certain word too much. Hence adding an electrolyte makes sense.

    Real batteries should not be put in parallel because they then can "fight" each other.

    I don't know what a LED thief is... If you mean a flashlight... Whoops a "torch" I don't know....

  • a Joule Thief Circuit.....

  • Wow! Where did you get that idea? Very nice! So more those "Water batteries" in series will increase voltages right? How big amounts you think we can get?

    Realy nice! Waiting to see your Pulse Motor!

  • You can get 0.8v ish per water battery.

    The amount is limited only by how many you make..

    I need the use of a band saw to do more on my Pulse Motor so it will be slower than I expected to get the casing up and running ;-(

  • Excellent!! This is very interesting to me. Look at the video that I posted above. Have you made enough of these little water batteries yet to run a Bedini SSG? When I did my lemon battery experiment, I had not built my low voltage SSG yet and it was long before I found the step down voltage regulator that I now use. I think that you may have come up with another way to power a Bedini. Great work. Using water instead lemon juice should make the battery run a lot longer if not as strong.

  • Thanks,

    I have made enough to get the voltage up to 12v but I think that if I use low voltages in parallel I can get more Current out.

    I was thinking I could run it on 3.7 volts and charge a phone battery.

    Ill look at the video now...

    Paul.
