I would encourage *EVERYONE* to conduct excess energy battery experiments. What is great about this research is that anyone can make such batteries. You don't need fancy equipment like an oscilloscope. And I'm telling you that at most it will be a few more years before this technology starts powering devices, and ...

People have asked how the diode, piezo, electret, and electrolytic capacitor experiments could help the small guy because they can't make a diode array made of trillions of nanoscopic diodes. Ah, but you can!!! That is exactly what John Hutchison and Marcus Reid have been doing. Every time you mix two ingredients ...

For lack of a name right now, I'll refer to all of my electrolytic / diode / piezo / electret / crystal batteries as excess energy batteries, but might change the name within a few weeks. BTW, over the next few days I'll be designing an excess energy battery. When it's built, the measurements will be posted here at ...

Well it's far to early to tell much, but so far the electrolytic capacitors are showing a preference for ~ 40 pA. The electrolytic capacitors that are connected across higher resistance resistors will obviously take more time to drain the electrolyte energy and settle down, but it is indeed interesting how the 5 Mohm ...

Today I started a 10pA experiment. As you probably know, electrolytic capacitor contain an electrolyte, which makes it unique as far as capacitors go. Indeed, the electrolyte will act as an extremely battery in such capacitors, but to this day I have yet to see one single prediction how much DC voltage and DC ...

A recent blog, Invitation to piezo research, shows the well known graph produced by Marcus Reid, creator of his crystal batteries, which I firmly believe is obviously the same type of excess energy technology as piezos and diodes. In this graph you can see how the voltage, green trace, fluctuates by a significant and ...

Yesterday I received an email that alerted me to an interesting quote regarding John Hutchison and Marcus Reid batteries. I firmly believe it's obviously that such crystal and electret batteries collect excess energy by the same means as piezos and diodes. On a nanoscopic scale such crystal and electret batteries ...

This is such an exciting moment for me!!! Maybe I should wait another day to be certain before celebrating, but it's looking great so far. Would you believe I'm celebrating over 10pA? That is correct, a few minutes ago the homemade diode was producing 10pA DC current!!! :-D This is so important for the research. It ...

Outline: On Friday, 2009/10/16, I ordered 50 piezo elements, and 10 electrets to start a new line of experiments to understand and break the mysterious 10 pA barrier. The diodes & piezos produce sufficient voltage, over 3 volts for piezos, and over 1/3 of a volt for diodes. The passive components are able to store ...

The following is in reference to the High voltage experiment. Not sure how accurate this is, but here's the calculation for the current that 1300 volts would produce through the plastic --> Voltage source: 1300 volts Total thickness of plastic: ~ 3e-3 m (3 mm) Area of plastic: 5e-2 * 5e-2 (5 cm x 5 cm) = 2.5e-3 ...
