Bedini--Lidmotor Light.ASF

This is further work with the "Bedini Earth Light". The heart of this project centers around the power source. I modified the circuit to run on extremely low power in a blinking mode and added a part to make it automatic on/off. The reason is that we are now focused on making the battery function on little or no water. The small single cell I am using is composed of Alum, activated carbon, magnesium, copper and a small amount of water. Information on this project can be found at the Energetic Forum on the Bedini Earth Light thread.

GJ lid, you can get alum in the spice section at safeway.

@Wavefront101 ---Thanks. My Safeway didn't stock it but the Vovs market had it . It is a McCormick brand and comes in a little jar.

@Lidmotor maybe you live by me, cause I bought the last 2. :)

@Wavefront101 -----I finally found it in a VONS market. McCormick brand in a small jar.

I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now. Very interesting work. I am playing around with two small 2 watt 120 Mamp @ 15 volt solar panels. I plan on tying them together to increase the amperage and use it to charge small batteries. I think you know what panels I'm talking about. You had one in a video. Great work your doing. Thank you.

@stuzapusa -----I actually like that solar panel and use it often because it works on cloudy days.  It is not very efficient or powerful but for certain things ----it is all you need.

0omg thats brilliant!!

very nice project :D

@Lidmotor You might try using Glycerin and water. Glycerin likes water a lot and never seems to dry out. Albertsons has it as De La Cruz Glycerin USP 2 oz. bottles. This may or may not work as an electrolite, but might be worth a try. Slinky

@KyleCarrington -----The activated carbon and magnesium are the two elements at work here. The copper wire is the connector for the carbon. I could have used something else. What goes away is the Mg and THAT is what the problem is. We are trying to slow that deterioration down with the Alum ---and still have power. It seems to work.

@slinky460 ---- It is pretty simple but it works. It dried out completely last night though and stopped. Hummm.  Back to the drawing board.

@Wavefront101 ---Thanks. There is a Safeway store near me. I'll check there.
