Bedini Copper, Alum and Magnesium Battery

John and Chuck put together a battery made from copper, alum and magnesium. It pings a 30ma meter and lights several LED's brightly. This shows exactly how to make it. Discussion is at http://www.energeticforum.com in the Bedini Earth Battery thread. It does not work by galvanic action that destroys the materials.

It can be ANY form of copper, even a flat sheet, those bowls were just for convenience to hold the stuff. You can buy them all over the internet, search for copper spheres you can cut in half or copper bowls. Again, ANY copper will work.

The alum will form the crystals and DOES need to have some moisture. Galvanic action happens when current can move in BOTH directions. With the heating process of the copper forming the red layer (cuprous oxide), that is a DIODE meaning current moves 1 way.

Copper cup - yes that would work, just heat it like shown. I believe you can use plain water instead of using borax in the water.

Black layer keeps normal galvanic action from happening. Cannot see metal degrading. Will run for a long time. When dry, just add water. The semiconductive layer on the copper is very crucial to taking this beyond a simple metal eating galvanic cell. It acts as a diode.

Series adds impedance so not good. Parallel to increase current is fine.

@shubus search the internet, pretty easy thing to do :)

Great video guys. Can you tell me if the current or voltage doubled when there were 2 cells in series?

Are you sure it does not work on galvanic action and consume the

metals ?

How long did you run it yet and did you check the magnesium rod

afterwards ?

Normally a galvanic cell made of graphite and magnesium corrodes already with the moisture of the air...

Many thanks.

Can you try a copper cup and layer the material inside?

[energeticforum]

@tortuga0303 There is no evidence that the magnesium or copper degraded - looks untouched.

@camelsonhorizon The entire time I was there. When it goes dry and stops, just add distilled water.

@shubus Any copper will work, flat sheet, etc... those were just for convenience of holding the stuff.

thank you so much for posting. my ONLY question, is how long did/is it running? again thank you!
