This is a video that I've been wanting to put together for a while now. This information will allow you to build custom sized emergency batteries that work that can get you through an emergency if needed. I have listed a download link for a PDF file along with a basic list of what you need to make this work. If you have any questions just reach out to me and I'll try to help.
Link for the PDF file (Here you will find the correct ratios and mixtures for the battery)

Table salt without iodine (This generates a stable working current for the battery)
Purchase at Walmart or pretty much any grocery store.
Citric Acid powder (This generates a stable working voltage for the battery)
Purchase at Walmart or pretty much any grocery store.
Distilled Water (If your water is loaded with minerals)
Purchase at Walmart or pretty much any grocery store.

Nice explanation and use of "common" material. Would love to see a 10 year follow up on your gassifier/ generator setup. What maintenance needs has surfaced? Anyway thanks for this one.

@nhhbbyloggr5022 7 месяцев назад

You, sir, are the master of improvisation. As always I just sit back, throw up my hands and smile when you turn on the master switch, whether its with wood gas, batteries, or the Master Class Garden. Thanks for another cool ride.

Thanks Bill, this video has been on the back burner for a while to do now.

Cool to see Mike! If you can’t use the wood gas for the generator you got batteries now. I’m curious if there would be a way to have a trickle charge with solar. Cool experiment though man

@flash001USA 7 месяцев назад

Hey Joe, hope all is going well in your neck of the woods. These batteries can be recharged a handful of times until they are depleted and solar would be one way to top them back off. These aren't meant to be a high power battery past running a radio or a flashlight but they can be scaled up for more power. My main reason for making this video was to demonstrate that anyone could build emergency batteries that could be used for something more than a just simple demonstration of lighting up a LED or running a small DC motor. I'm still developing the build and I made some major improvements over the last few days with this. I will probably drive everyone crazy with a few more videos on this as I get a better build.

@@flash001USA oh it’s definitely cold up here , happy spring will be coming around the corner soon enough. I really enjoyed your wood gas videos, heck that’s what really motivated me to try myself. I’m still thinken of making a micro gasifier for fun. What would be cool is to take that little battery and hook it up to that small motor you said to vibrate that shaker grate from time to time. Heck even just using that little battery for small pump to clean that gas. Lots of possibilities. As always thanks for sharing your ideas Mike hope all is well with ya too man.

@flash001USA 7 месяцев назад

@@Josefppaz I too have pondered on the idea of a micro gasifier and somewhere in the future I may try my hand at building a "mini-me" gasifier. As to using these batteries for running a gasifier blower, hese batteries are for low power applications. You would probably want a lead acid battery for a gasifier blower. If someone were to put the raw materials sealed up water proof in this video into a plastic ammo box they could be stored for years. Probably 100+ years and be on the standby. People could easily stock up on Duracell alkaline batteries with a 10 year shelf life but this is a bug out bag project. This would give you something to run a radio and flashlights with in a squeeze.

@Josefppaz 7 месяцев назад

@@flash001USA have to admit man it is pretty cool. I guess time would tell if the batteries would get a little corroded, but then keeping the ingredients separated until use is 100 percent long shelf life that’s for sure 👍

@flash001USA 7 месяцев назад

@@Josefppaz Joe that's the ticket. These are meant for emergency use and to be able to store the raw materials and have them on standby indefinitely or whenever they are needed. This would also be a project for someone just wanted to construct them and tinker with this kind of technology.

@wiretamer5710 7 месяцев назад

The chemical you are looking for is Sodium Polly Acrylate. You find it in disposable nappies.

@flash001USA 7 месяцев назад

Is this a salt based chemical? In the video I mentioned substituting table salt for the Ammonium Chloride and I also seen conflicting information online stating that Ammonium Chloride was old school and no longer used in regular heavy duty batteries then I find where it is still used in the process but they also use other chemicals in the battery production process too. I know from just trial and error that without the salt or the Ammonium Chloride, the battery will not produce a stable current and if the battery does not have the citric acid that the voltage will be too low and the current is affected by the citric acid too so both the salt and the citric acid have to be there and if you use too much or too little the battery will not function. Are you familiar with battery technology and what role does the Sodium Polly Acrylate play in the battery? Any feedback will be much welcome here.

@flash001USA 7 месяцев назад

Almost forgot, After some more reading I realized that the paper spacer is embedded or doped with a salt solution and I used some Ammonium Chloride and diluted it into a bit of water and soaked my paper spacers with the solution and allowed the paper to dry out for storage and that made a MAJOR difference. You just activate it by getting it moist and it's ready to use. In the video I show the battery with an inrush or surge current of around 500 ma and after doping the paper spacer, the inrush current jumped up to 1.2 amps holding a dead short of 700 ma for a few seconds and this is a tiny battery so this made a difference! The battery worked before but this was a game changer I discovered right after I uploaded this video. I am now aware that they also use an electrolyte paste on the paper to aid it in not letting it dry out and I was able to recreate that by using CMC powder which is used in food and it turns into a gel when water is added to it. I mixed some Ammonium Chloride with and that and made the electrolyte paste and that too made a big difference in the battery holding moisture. I plan on doing a shorter update video on this hopefully by next week.

@flash001USA 7 месяцев назад

One last time... I just looked up the Sodium Polly Acrylate.This is a water retainer. Thank you for that information. They do use it in some battery applications. The most common water retainer used in battery production is CMC powder I think because it has a neutral pH.

@wiretamer5710 7 месяцев назад

@@flash001USA Its great stuff, because its non-toxic. It is flamable, BUT no more than wood, and when burnt it does not give off cyanide gas. I only mention this because of the heat issues with battey failure. I don't think it will increace the fire risk to your battery design. Keep up the excelent work.

@wiretamer5710 7 месяцев назад

@@flash001USA Techically no. Its a pollymer, not a salt. Don't be fooled by the sodium at the begining of its name. About the Ammonium Choride. Ordinary Zinc Carbon batteries are full of mic of carbon manganese socked in Ammonium Chloride. Many shed wizards who deconstruct Zinc Carbon batteries just rince out the Amonium Choride. I don't why it could not be reused.

@richiekeane7730 6 месяцев назад

interesting video Flash, thank you, how big have you been able to make a viable battery this way?, and have you recycled old thought to be dead lead acid batteries? Im curious

@flash001USA 6 месяцев назад

So far I have built a 3.5 volt battery to run a radio with but they can be custom scaled up or down for whatever you are running. I'm going to be uploading a new video shortly extending on this topic so keep an eye out for it if this interest you.

@haroldcokayne 7 месяцев назад

Do you follow John Hutchinson he has some interesting power generation

@flash001USA 7 месяцев назад

I actually had a few messages back and fourth with him in the RU-vid comment section on a few videos. He's an interesting and intelligent person and that's an understatement. As to producing power, I've been viewing home brew battery videos for a while now and it got me interested enough to do this "How To" video. I wanted to make a video that put the practical knowledge into peoples hands so that they would be able to sit down and build real world working batteries during an emergency if they ever found themselves in the unfortunate position of needing some emergency power.

@GeorgeyNico 7 месяцев назад

Hi what Is the current

@flash001USA 7 месяцев назад

If you dead short the battery it has a inrush current of around .6 amps or 600 ma and it will try to hold around .300 ma to 400 ma. The battery is pretty small so it doesn't have enough material to deliver high current however I did compare it to the same material from the D cell I robbed using the mixture from that battery on my test fixture and they compared pretty close in their discharge characteristics which is why I decided to release this video.

@flash001USA 7 месяцев назад

Update for you: I made a few simple changes not as much with the formula but with the paper spacer between the zinc plate and the manganese/carbon mixture and got the inrush current to jump up to 1.2 amps on the PVC pipe test battery in this video! This is a major step and a game changer for this build. I will try to release a new video next week along with updating the PDF file too. Stay tuned...
