Well I spent the entire day yesterday doing diode experiments and thinking about what could be causing the unknown effects. So I have dozens of photos showing measurements of the electrometer readout, but the battery ran out so I got my pad of paper and began logging data the entire day. Yesterdays logged data was for ...

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 for now I'll refer to this experiment as ED #1, which is an experiment I'm excited over. It could prove to be a major breakthrough, or a huge flop. Hopefully soon I'll be able to reveal what it is and how it was made. It is not a battery. It's an experiment to focus on a fundamental effect in an ...

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 ...

The following should be added to the previous blog post: Smaller components (electrolytic capacitors, piezos, diodes) appear to produce the same power, but it also means they're easier to disturb. This is seen in years of experiments. So if you use electrolytic capacitors with less capacitance, or smaller diodes ...

Great news --> Yesterdays data logging that included a good temperature meter finally shows that the *fluctuations* correlate to temperature. Although it's a bit difficult to tell from the temperature trace (blue trace) in above graph because the graph pixel resolution is insufficient, the actual temperature ...

The purpose of the electrolytic capacitor measurements is to focus on the fundamental effects at hand. That is one area that academic science community is good at. It is far better to try and eliminate all effects except the one being focused on in order to understand it, rather than to aimlessly try this & that ...

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 ...

INA116PA electrometer chip, ~ $10. Requires no components. Simple! Someone who is interested in doing piezo research sent me an email. My reply contains a lot of valuable information, which I'd like to share. Here's my email --> Hi, That might be a piezo buzzer, not an element. I hate to you destroy your fire ...

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 ...
