Any relations? Great How to video though thank you The Astor Bloodline The Bundy Bloodline The Collins Bloodline The DuPont Bloodline The Freeman Bloodline The Kennedy Bloodline The Li Bloodline The Onassis Bloodline The Reynolds Bloodline The Rockefeller Bloodline The Rothschild Bloodline The Russell Bloodline The Van Duyn Bloodline

Does varying the amount of salt in the water affect the operation of the unit ?

why o why o why do people do little batterys ?imagine a 2 gallon galvenised bucket ?come on where are the people with big ideas lol ,,,,,i wana make giant battery ,,,,,HELP LOL X

Greetings from Romania, i really appreciate your work and I love the music.

Thanks for your comments.

I was trying to mimic Dean Martin. God I miss him and his music.

His daughter is doing some great things.. however. Hopefully I'll see her

live.

dude, it's spelled "groan", not grown

Sigh- it's current not amperage :) BTW are U the same Joe Dupont that's a member of 1 of farmers yahoo groups? home made primary batteries are interesting, but IMO mechanically generated power will rule the day, though homemade secondary batteries that can be recharged are as simple as primary batteries.

allso known as the jar battery have a book on this allso a jar diode cool

why copper ?? you don't even need it...I've made an aluminium-water battery using a pattern of aluminum and wet paper..it's even rechargeable..according to some old experiments in the late 60'..a man made an aluminium-air battery which was capable of generating 15 times more energy than a lead-acid battery ;-)

In my case,my two 2x3 cm alumium foils generated .236 volts (couldn't take amperage..my multimeter's fuse is broken).

gonna post a video soon ;-)

btw...good job ;-)

Al, on Al, gives you voltage, but you dont get much for current, sometimes immessurable. You can get that kind of voltage out of most things, even your own two fingers. But there isnt any amperage.

[liadon666]

yes...you're right if you're talking about a battery made of cells in series...but with cells in parallel you get current out of them...if you got 10 cells containing 0.2V 10ma each they become 0.2V 100ma if they are in parallel...and if you put many of them in series-parallel you can reach good currents-voltages out of them.

best regards ;-)

1. Under no real conditions will an aluminum-air battery be rechargeable. Aluminum is simply far too reactive to ever return to metallic aluminum under any normal conditions (temperature, pressure). Oxidation is irreversible and entropic. That's why we have to burn through billions of watt-hours to produce the aluminum we do. We should use aluminum for it's lightweight structural value rather than wasting energy by 'burning' it in batteries or fuel cells.

2. Careful with terminology: energy is not 'generated' except in nuclear reactors. Energy is simply converted. Batteries, for example, convert free chemical energy into electrical potential energy. That in turn can be converted into useful work, light, etc. Aluminum batteries are great for power density, but they are terrible for overall efficiency, as refining oxidized aluminum back to metallic is a very energy inefficient process.

thats great!!
