This channel is dedicated to life off the grid. I experiment with inventions and replications of devices suitable for life off the grid. I am learning about how to live without being connected to grid power. Our goal is to soon start construction of an EarthShip. I am developing systems for lighting,heating, cooking, water heating, overall sustainably. I will be learning about greenhouse food production as well as water harvisting, filtering and management. Power generation experiments with wind, solar, crystal batterys, super caps, and mess with some overunity devices. All of the knowledge learned from these replications and experiments will be incorporated into my build of an earthship.

surface area on the magnesium is key, I think - why did you keep the borax separate? does that liven up the copper?

How to add amps to Earth batteries and crystal cells! In 1861 telluric energy was discovered in the Alps. Today this technology is commonly called an earth battery, EB. Earth batteries work great at producing voltage. We can build an earth battery in series and create as many volts as desired. However, the amperage in an EB is very low. This is what has hindered the usefulness of the amazing earth battery. Here is how to build an earth battery. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aCCK132OIGA.html Adding amperage is quite simple and key to making real power. Power = Amps * Volts. We have to increase the current in amps to produce any real power. A simple law of physics shows that wiring in parallel will add the amps of the power sources. We need to introduce a source of high amps. A solar panel wired in parallel to the EB will give the circuit much needed amps. I built this and tested it several times. It works. This hybrid system can produce limitless green energy. The secret will be to have a special solar panel built. One that wires all the photovoltaic cells in parallel to maximize the amperage. One 4-inch square photovoltaic cell produces 3 amps. This super amp solar panel will make the system a powerhouse.

Hi, the gold wire may not be enough might need to use a diode to stop the polarity reversal... I am working on it but keep experimenting because this can be figured out.
@ralph72462
@ralph72462 9 месяцев назад
Hi friend, I think I figured out were the impedance/ resistance is produced and a fix for it. Right now for me it's a hypothesis yet I feel pretty confident that I got it just have to do the experiment. Here it is the problem is in the interconnected terminals because the wires being opposing metals cause a reactance in-between the batteries. Using a gold wire in-between will solve the issue. I will be using a gold soldering line that is used for gold repair but it works as a wire too. I have used it in my experiments before. Just thought I share this with you since you are so kind to share this video with me which I found very helpful. Thanks 😊

I feel like if you changed the copper into tungsten it would increase the power and longevity, being realistic tho you probably don't have the tools to cut it, so something like lead would work just as well, it's highly conductive and corrosion resistant

Two years later this motor is going strong ru-vid.comUgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf Just uploaded a video of it after 2 years. We use it probably a dozen days each year on our small raft.-original review- We got this motor the other day and tested it out. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems good to me. It has all the features advertised - the motor housing is metal. We will see how it performs longer term and I will revise this review if needed. Some initial observations:- Good thrust, moves our boat around really well- It comes with a circuit breaker but no switch - so there's no way to kill the motor other than yanking the connection off the battery. I installed an inline switch.- The mount bracket is plastic and I worry it might break- There are a number of plastic parts that I worry about, but the most important ones are metal or some kind of composite

It's not working doesn't tell me very much info at all. Did you follow the build process like described in the video. Did you use pure magnesium and clean copper. Did you heat the copper and squelch the copper tubes in the borax and water solution untill you got the salmon colored layer on the copper tubes. Did you use alum and distilled water as the electrolyte

​@@1billyknorr Hi Billy..I totally went on a different direction,how to make crystal matrix of john hutchison with completely different minerals...finally after 2 years crazy research n chemistry understanding, I made his actual crystal cells...each one running a motor for almost a week...amperage is above 80 miliamp...those styles are not working because of missing part which is iron oxide electrolyte

@Billy Knorr I tried all the metals n different mineral n crystals I even done my research n looked into John Hutchison science n technology...I made heaps none of them could run the motor...I built 14 volt in series but oddly no amperage..crystal cells still remains in shadow of mystery n how John could run the motor in artillery shell cylinder ...due to my research silver plated cathode n large diameter magnesium work the best..but what mineral really works God knows...

@@abbaspourmoghadam3850 look up John Bedini. Crystal battery series. You need to use pure copper and 99.99 percent pure magnesium the salt needs to be alum. It's a pickling salt. The closer the two metals are together the better. The cells also lose the power when in series. Internal impedance goes up too high. They're better in parallel run things at low voltage
