Crystal Power Cell Updates: Day 3

No video today.  Not even going to post numbers.  But wanted to provide an update, nonetheless...

The cells have lost some amperage, but I expected as much with the research I've conducted. The crystals are still growing and developing and I can't expect an accurate read for at least a month.

However, I have this friend with an oscilloscope and a high-end multimeter that came over to take a look at these cells.  It was very interesting to look at the wave-form on a scope, which more closely resembled AC power than DC power, but with a wave-form with notches in it. I can't describe what that means.  It does oscillate at 60Hz though (standard wave-form for North America) although it is worth noting that the oscilloscope didn't show a smooth shape in the wave, like you would see on AC power coming out of a wall.

This friend offered me some very practical advice: make self-sustained devices as a small-scale and practical application of this technology.  I settled on the idea of making a wireless lamp using crystal cells as an eternal battery.a novel idea, but it would put cells to practical use and it would be really easy to wire.

After I acquire some more definitive data, you can expect to see some charts :)

Testing Crystal Power Cells - Day 1

Okay, after initial testing yesterday, I went back and actually started recording my results. Here is a video with lots of information about the whole process:

Here are the initial cell readings after day one:

Cell 1  -  46mA @ 2.5V | 124mA @ 0.5V

Cell 2  -  42mA @ 2.5V | 150mA @ 0.5V

Cell 3  -  51mA @ 2.5V | 163mA @ 0.5V

Cell 4  -  55mA @ 2.5V | 205mA @ 0.5V

Cell 5  -  46mA @ 2.5V | 126mA @ 0.5V

Cell 6  -  42mA @ 2.5V | 120mA @ 0.5V

Cell 7  -  40mA @ 2.5V | 125mA @ 0.5V

Cell 8  -  30mA @ 2.5V  |  60mA @ 0.5V

Cell 9  -  45mA @ 2.5V | 170mA @ 0.5V

Cell 10 - 42mA @ 2.5V | 147mA @ 0.5V

First round of crystalline cells made

Hooray! I've got my prototype cells done! And I'm very pleased with the results! I made an introductory video that should help explain what's up with them:

In the last hour I have also constructed some cells as layers between pennies. I'm not pleased with the results, the amperage and voltage on all penny cells appear to be considerably weaker than the copper tubing. So, I guess I have my form-factor for my crystalline cells!

I'm dubbing this project with the name "Indigo" In honor of the new age that is coming.  Looking for feedback on that as a name for the cells. Indigo Brand Crystalline Power Cells.
