This is a video showing two types of corrosion of magnesium. Black and White corrosion of magnesium - YouTube

I don't know what to think about this, any input from others is welcomed.

Pulsing diodes with spikes DEFINITELY is interesting!v i discovered this with my kromrey as well with large fwbr. How big an array are you pulsing? Pictures? What do you see with lets say doubling the array?
Jim

Hi Jim. The array was 90 5mm LEDs (3.2V normal), that, by calculation using the online LED calculator would require (30) 120 ohm resistors, resistors dissipating 2250 mW together, the diodes dissipating 7200 mW, total power dissipated by the array being 9450 mW, drawing current of 750 mA from the source.

It was a quick test, the video is up in my post, a link to it. I used 0.5 ohm resistors inline to measure voltage drop across, I do not have RMS meters. I just wanted to experiment with "apparent" (albeit not precise) differences in efficiency based on frequency changes, as I am curious whether air core coils oversaturate and become inefficient? So, I was able to, across those resistors, read, at a higher frequency: 229 mv/0.52ohms (440 mA IN @ 12.6V), and the output was 187/0.49 ohms (382 mA) - although it was of course dimmer... (voltage drop maybe?) but possibly over 87% efficient!?

Anyway, it was a bit a hack experiment, but I'm all about "If I'm happy, put it to use and don't worry too much about it". I now know I am able to make my SS dual purpose, a charger, a lamp. I find that useful for off grid scenarios.

Alum Batterys

HI John , 1 little question,

do you know if those batteries converted to Alum also crystallizes when charged and discharged at the same time like regular lead acid batts?

best,

Alvaro

pd: I am planing in sending you a jar of "Dulce de Leche" as a gift. I heard you don't have that there.

Mike,
I found that 8 to 10 oz 1/2 gallon worked the best (Water must be hot to dissolve the Alum.) The battery can not be shorted or have any cracked insulators in it. A good washing out of the battery usually helps. But I have bought new batteries right off the shelf and they would not start the cars. I would go back and get another one and it would be fine but a week later was too late to bring it back and I would do this process and the battery would be fine. I always dump the acid out in a bucket and save it for other things. The best way to test this is with a weak battery. See you then.

Does conversion work better with dumping acid (Sulfur in the solution) or dumping water (Discharged Battery) so that sulfur is picked up off of plates into new alum solution)?

Have a link to another old battery book. I haven't read it yet but looks interesting.

I'm new to all of this and am very thankful for this forum and all your work.
Thanks,

Sorry for the bomb here. Wasn't sure where to put this, but, for laughs and giggles I thought I'd hook up a 2T SS SSG directly to a LED bank... not Joule Thief, strict SSG, and it actually lit the whole room up and appears to be actually quite efficient... better than using resistors, simpler than SMPS to build (not to mention dual purpose), and you can't blow the LED bank up, like I can with my "strictly PWM" circuit. I'm pretty damn impressed, and this was a quick stab, I'm sure it can be done much better even. It was interesting to see how at a particular frequency the efficiency factor just boosted completely (or so it appeared).

Thanks John.

Alum Lead Alkaline Batteries

@All for those that think this can not be done. As I have done this many times. Just as an example I even dump out the acid in a new battery and change it to Alum, The battery in my Hot Rod is almost 14 years old and it does not corrode anything, so it works.
Sepp Hasslberger: How to convert a Lead Acid Battery into an Alkaline Battery
John

John B. That is absolutely amazing, thank you for that pearl of information. I'm reading everything I can.

Question#1: Will the Alum Solution in this type of refurbished battery translate the Radiant to positive energy as in the Lead Acid Batteries? I'm sure you've tried.
Question#2: What solution ratio worked best for you? Sepp Hasslberger was using 4oz Alum to 1/2 Gallon of water.

Thanks again, see you at the conference in June!

I'm not excited or anything.

John I don't hate you, i just voice my opinion which may seem obnoxious at times. Reading text on a computer screen can seem like someone is angry at you but in reality they're not angry at all. I guess this is why we have emoticons If I remember correctly someone said to me that talking is only 10% while body language is 90% of how we communicate?

I do study what the books and Google says but I find that actually doing the experiments, no matter how simple and foolish they may seem, is the best way to get the information.

An author can only say so many words, but an experimenter can say much more.

hahahaha @Ibpointless
you're right. I recently found out that a woman will decide whether or not to listen to you, or reject you based entirely on your body language BEFORE any conversation starts. intersesting and important stuff dude.

Solid State Crystal Cells

In this video I'm showing the newer type of mix which now I have turned into a polycrystalline solid state mixture under pulse currents it recharges itself for the next pulse. The Led must have a resistor on it to use steady state.

@JohnBedini

Hey John, I watched this vid on your channel awhile back, and to this day I am still very curious with this type of cell. I couldn't find anywhere the chemical formula for this mix, (unless I missed it), and I'm dying to replicate and experiment with it with my partners! The pulses seem to be radiant! I also need to order materials for the research sooner rather than later. So if you share the chemical formula, that would be awesome!

Guys,
All this talk of Mercury, H2SO4, lab injuries etc. made me think of Organic Chemistry class a Long time ago.
So, as a means to again show those out there who think what is occurring is only due to galvanic action, please check out my latest experiment. I did this to see if one could remove all lattice water with desiccant and combination of drying agents. I found that we may not need water specifically. Maybe the lattice need some POLAR fluid only. Will crystalline lattice hold more than water, yes it appears it can. Now, will galvanic action still take place if ALL water is removed? perhaps?, but will it be much slower.......John, thoughts?
I am NOT advocating wet cells as a substitution for what I am seeking, namely a cell that need not be hydrated akin to the MR cell. Getting closer to be sure. Anyway, all thoughts welcome. Also, please let me know if anyone else has made the dual toroid modification to the oscillator that I show on the site based on Lasersaber's design and parts. It really is spectacular sensitive and with even a tiny blip off a cell it continues to run for like 30 seconds without being attached to power.
Very Best Regards,
Jim

@Ibpointless2,
Yes I understand that, but with the will you have it should not be a problem. You seem to do what you want. It has nothing to do with funding as anybody can change their situation in life. This is like your trying to run a rocket ship to mars on baking soda and vinegar.

If the jelly was important in making primary cells in the 18th century they would have discovered it and you would know all about it, but they did not. Go to Google books and look up batteries and you will know what is known.

You said you were going to look into Gallium. I can save you some time a NiCad does better as far as the discharge curve goes. Look at Google patents. I had nothing money wise but that did not stop me from crawling all over the desert looking for rocks to test. It did not stop me from wanting to know anything about the science field. Wanting to do something is a state of mind, it's getting up every morning and pushing forward. Hate me if you want but life is what you make of it. What a blessing today we have with this computer for research., make use of it. Use it.....

IB,

I had my lab when I was younger and I did many experiments including using all sort of acids. I did not say H2SO4 is not dangers - read it back again ("No more dangers than sulfuric acid in your bare hands.")

I said that Mercury is no more dangers than "burning your hand with sulfuric acid" which is bad off course, it is burning ones hand, but no MORE DANGERS than that.

In other words, on the context I said (just read it back), it is safe to manipulate it if you know what you are doing, that's all. If you are stupid enough to put H2SO4 in your hands (which shows one does not know what he/she is doing) too bad, it is very dangers.

@Tim,
you are right. I removed ALL my fillings that had Mercury. Imagine having that in your mouth and inhaling that everyday for decades??!!!!! Insane.

Fausto.

btw: once I was working with Nitric acid and the things spilled in my left hand. I was in my lab and knew that If I would pour water in my hand it would get really nasty, so I pour sugar right away and guess what happened? it removed 1mm of a full hand skin like a human glove. I was amazed at the speed the acid did its things. I was lucky enough to know what I was doing and not pour water on the hand and off course finish loosing my hand with third degree burn.

What a good times!!!

Oh gotcha, sorry I misunderstood.
