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 ...

I added two more experiments. 1) A piezo element. 2) An electrolytic capacitor freezer experiment. The rest of the electrolytic capacitor measurements are similar to yesterdays measurements. 2010/7/14 11:31, 1 x 0.47 uF #1, 22 Mohm, 74.4 F, 1.1 to 1.2 mV = 50 to 55 pA, ceramic magnet 13:42, 1 x 0.47 uF #2, 22 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Someone who's interested in the piezo research has been asking for part #'s. Here's my email reply since this is useful information --> I'm about 99.99% certain this is the part number of the piezo that when undisturbed produces over 5.5 volts. Part number PKM13EPYH4000-A0. The text says it's a buzzer, but it's ...

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 ...
