If you only got microvolts than you did not do the experiment correctly. The water is only needed to dissolve the two salts, apply this to paper and allow to dry. This is how my glue cell works, mix Elmer's Glue all with Salt substitute and Epsom salt, the glue contains water and that's important. Once the salts are combined you can allow it to dry and it will never need water again to get voltage.
Vaseline is not key to the working of the cell, i don't need it. I only use it because it protect the metals of the cell from corrosion.
I'm not worried about powering TTL or CMOS chips, I know that even though the cells i make give 1.4 volts with only 10uA of current. I'm not thinking of these cells as batteries anymore but instead as a component. Sure I could make hundreds of these cells to light a LED or I could make a few and put them in a circuit to help boost the power of the circuit. I could use a capacitor at one end that runs a LED through a pulse circuit that also charges another capacitor at the other end that is in parallel with the crystal cells. The cell will supply the energy loss through the circuit and even more to give you more power than what you started with.
Creating a cell that doesn't need water to keep it alive is the great discovery, why? because the books say you can't. Water corrodes the metal and Galvanic theory is based on the fact the metals corrode when exposed to water and gives off a electron but if my cell don't use water than it shows that water is not needed to get power. The very reason why metals corrode is due to water. Galvanic's have never been the reason why metals corrode, just water is the reason. If you use water in your cell yes it will give you more power but at a cost. the magnesium will corrode. it doesn't matter if the magnesium is 120% magnesium it will still corrode. Using a big block of magnesium will take longer to corrode. And if the metals corrode than we have nothing more than a AA battery. I want to build cells that are not AA batteries and if they only give me a few micro amps now it won't mean i'll have the same thing in the future.
