can u make electricity from the carbon and magnesium ribbon with water to powera light or something or do u need all that all shizz on the curcuit board too.??
@SuperRorylewis ------Each cell will give you about 1.5 volts so you would need two of them in series to light the LED----but YES you can do it that way and eliminate all the mess on the circuit board. The circuit is just a way to boost the voltage up so you only have to use only one cell. It is also an efficient circuit that doesn't waste much energy.
I don't quite understand your excitement about being able to lid an LED by a battery. Or is it more to this? Because you don't normally need any resistors or transistors to do it. Is it a kind of free energy? If so, why do you use a battery? I have the impression everybody knows what you are talking about but me :))) Plz help me to understand. Thank you for your answers!
@brotherboy77 -------Yes it is confusing. Why don't I just hook 3 volts worth of battery power to this LED and be done with it???? The reason is that batteries don't last. We are trying to make an LED light using as little power as possible (hence the voltage booster circuit) and then create a new power source that lasts much longer than a normal galvanic bettery. It ain't easy.
@Lidmotor Thank you for the fast reply!!! How long would this kind of battery last? How much does it cost and woldn't it be more effective to use the temperature difference "earth-air"? Sorry, if my questions sound stupid, but I'd really like to know ;-)
@brotherboy77 ----- We are looking into thermal energy type cells along with other ideas. Cost and availability of materials is a major factor. A simple "lemon battery" can be made at home for under a dollar but the more exotic cells like what John Bedini is building can cost hundreds. Cells that I have made have lasted from one day to--- "still working". Nothing that produce good power lasted very long. The things that produced tiny power just kept on going.
@Lidmotor I have an idea how to messure the effectivenes of a power source could be messured from the economic angle of view: return of investment (ROI) = (cost of product / anual profit) *100%..... Where anual profit = amount of kilowats * cost of one kilowat..... What is it useful for? to know how useful such devices really are and to be able to compare their effectiveness it terms of economy. For example I am looking for a "cheaper" energy then I would get from solar cells (ROI = 8-10% p.a)
I found that using only graphite for both plates and distilled water you get around 80mV. Thats amazing when you consider you're using the same metals so you know for sure that it not a galvanic reaction.
I am surprised that the voltage is so low from the carbon/mg. On the galvanic charts the difference should be more like mine at about 2 volts. Great circuit and excellent video.
@Pirate88179 ---Hi Bill. Maybe it is because I am using distilled water? I don't know. I have not seen 2 volts so far. John Bedini says that this is NOT a galvanic battery in this configuration. This is very interesting. You should put one together and see what you think.
Oh OK, I did not realize that. Distilled water should be an insulator not a conductor right? So, this should not even work at all...ha ha. Great job once again. Where is John posting about this device? I mean, what forum?
I was wondering about the cost effectiveness of the pyrite/zinc vs the carbon rod/magnesium. In your opinion what would give the highest volt / amps per dollar?
reminds me of the water battery released recently. carbon, magnesium, water seem to be a popular choice. nice stuff. we should elect john bedini and tom bearden as the new energy department advisers for the new republic/new world ! : )

thanks for the schematic man,i got it to work from the first time :D

@beac310 lol i've discovered today that if you put the led across the colector and (+) the amp draw is less :D
