Update on the concrete battery. I checked the battery the other day and it will not hold a charge. I am not sure when the battery stopped charging but it was probably within the past year so the concrete battery was good for 6 to 7 years. I am working on a thinner cement plates that has different minerals and salts for the plates and electrolytes. Stay tunned for more.
Dad Scientist - Great to know. Thanks for your awesome experiment and for having provided updates. You should pin that comment you just made. Your cement battery lasting six to seven years is awesome.
@@outspoken9922 I recently did another experiment with the cement. I used a hydrothermal carbonization chamber to pressure dope the carbon with nickel for one plate of the battery and the second was carbon doped with iron 3. I made a cement plate with the carbon nickel and a plate with the carbon iron 3. I did make a mistake and put too much carbon in one of the plates and I do not know which chemical it was, but it does work. The carbon-rich plate which is 1/8 " thick is very weak in strength. The plate with the correct amount is strong. With aluminum collectors and a paper separator using water as an electorlyte, the battery gives 100 plus microamps. I need to encase this cell in a thin cement block and see the longevity of it. I also need to find a circuit that will work on microamps. Maybe a pulse motor that produces an intelligent transmission signal that could be programmed from a remote location. Thank you for your interest.
@@ET2uscg please try roman concrete and test it... I heard the Romans were doing this... Will volcanic ash and silica/ sand plus the lime make a good alkaline battery??? I heard the roman collumns had metal hooked up... I was also wondering if the cement without encasing or maybe plastered with limestone would also make a battery... Pyramids made of limestone and i heard limestones a good insulator
@@ET2uscg maybe higher volcanic ash ratios can make this better plus the concrete was hardened hydro = submerged in water maybe 9 months saltwater... Maybe a block of concrete can be made coated in limestone and drilled to put rods
Update: I am making a video on making the magnetic nanoparticles and something new that I have been studying. The study is on piezioquartz and Tesla's vibrational theory. If I make the piezio and grind it up to a powder and add it to the magnetic nanoparticles with the cement to create a monolith and then vibrate the monolith to its resonate frequency will I be able to monitor a change in electrical actitivity. Stay tuned.
Great and fantastic news ! I put a battery in the smoke alarm Also, I am researching the Radio frequency of different places and materials. I found out that certain minerals in the ground vibrate better than others, which could be used as superior charge holders. So, if this works out, I will use the best minerals in a certain configuration and see the data. We shall see, I have a signal analyzer coming tomorrow. Stay tuned for new videos.
he-he that's exactly what I thought too lol! Mine has been driving crazy the past 3 days and I put it in a draw so I couldn't hear it. When his went off I had to rewind to check it was on here and not mine managing to penetrate layers of towels in a drawer!
New update, I just made some magnetic nano particles. I made them with a ball Mill real easy. I will make a vid showing how. The particles will be put into the mixture, but I don’t know the formula yet, stay tuned
Check your 6th comment reply Ed. Can’t believe people watch what your doing yet don’t hit the like button. Well done sir you are a goodman for sharing your experimental findings. Thankyou
The design of the battery is wrong This is not a battery but a single cell/. 1. The main reason for the quick voltage drop is the lack of separator between the electrodes. 2. You must decide whether it is a chargeable or non-chargeable battery. If it is left open it is a non-rechargeable aluminum air battery. 3. If it is chargeable battery the whole cell must be sealed. Lastly the battery will not be competitive with lead acid batteries on a weight per amps basis because concrete is very heavy. It would be better to use green oasis floral foam instead of concrete, as an absorbent material Lastly use salt water as an electrolyte instead of tap water. Better still use an acid like vinegar or an alkali like potassium hexoxide as an electrolyte. Still the concept of using concrete is interesting as it exposes a lot of issues in the art of battery building.
I used my hydrocarbonization chamber to dope 2 sets of carbon, one with iron3 and one with nickel chloride. I put the carbon in some cement and made a cement plate with iron3 carbon and one with nickel carbon. I used tin foil for the colectors and water for the electrolyte, I figured the cement had the salts that each plate would need. Sure enough I get voltage and micro amp current. My cement plates are 3inch by 3 inch and 1/8" thick I need to make more and adjust some things. Then make a vid. Thanks Ed
I think the holy grail for the aluminum electrode has been found and it is Zinc oxide. I will try it on the plates and also add crushed lava stone in the cement so fluid can move thru easier.
Sure did, but after 7 yrs the metals must be corroded . The fire alarm is too high so I will need to invent a way to raise me in the air. I am designing a multi-layered cement battery
I have tried to hit it with a hammer several times and now I have called the roofers to replace a hole in the ceiling and roof. I guess I through it too hard. Thanks for the info.
Increasing the amperage for earth batteries is quite simple. A law of physics states that wiring in parallel will add the amps of two power sources. We simply wire a solar panel to the earth battery. We build the earth battery to the desired voltage in series. Earth batteries are the cheapest voltage around. Then wire a solar panel to the EB in parallel. Boom best of both worlds. Real power.
Hey Donald, I am researching the Radio frequency of different places and materials. I found out that certain minerals in the ground vibrate better than others, which could be used as superior charge holders. So, if this works out, I will use the best minerals in a certain configuration and see the data. We shall see, I have a signal analyzer coming tomorrow. Stay tuned for new videos. We are also going to measure sites that are around my place and also will take a trip to some Indian mounds to check the frequency on top of them. Much to be looked at. Thanks for the comment.
I have had a lot of interest in the concrete batter/capacitor. I plan to do a follow up, showing the hardness of the concrete and the charging capacity. After studying this device for the past 6 years has made me think about ancient structures and what they were used for. I should make another concrete battery and use different salts and conductive powders embeded around the electrodes. I know the cement is porous and will hold water like a sponge. Thanks for the interest. Ed
can it still work like water fuel-cell? if such cement brick produces 1.2v 3-5 ma, than row of 20x3=60 and 5 rows wall =300; or 900+ ma or over 1 watt 24/7 which gives you 24wh / day or 48w /10 hours or 100 w/5 hours/day. one 5 feet wall = lights and internet/tv/dish anywhere in the world
The Egyptians fed water underneath into the core of the great pyramid of Giza. The flooding in of the Nile to chambers below filled up till they hit the ceiling walls using pressure and electrolysis was partially transferred to the limestone this way giving enough static charge fed into to the internal chamber to supplying lights made from glass and filled with a gas unyet known. If you look at the shaft uncovered in 1993 about 20cm wide. It has two copper connections or handles and leads away to another area possibly out of the pyramid pointing toward their home planet used as a messaging device or beacon by harnessing the different charges permitting up through the pyramid.. Hope this helps unlock the parts to this system you will require. Well done for getting off your behind and trying to find enlightenment Ed. You learn more from failure than you do from success but if you observe the success of others carefully you are less likely to fail meaning better/efficient use of time. 👍 ps the ceilings were not polished or smoothed they still had chisel marks creating pits in the stones for electrolysis to occur.
Hello again and thankyou for your reply. I know the pyramids were built decades before their time of actual use for a specific moment when the shafts lined up with their respective planets so that when the afterlife ceremony of the pharaoh was performed the spirit would be ready to travel back to their homeland. Heliopolis if I recall. The pyramids kings chamber has spirit stones of huge weight stacked up above it and are separated by 4 smaller in comparison yet heavy spacers creating a Tesla effect. When the Nile floods the water draws the energy from the sacred hill it is built upon permiating up to lights fashioned from an as yet unknown gas filled glass tube depicted in numerous carvings. The pyramid stonework underneath is a conductor of electric charge experienced by the first excavators when their bottles of water in paper bags gave them electric shocks. I have many other pointers as to why these beacons/generators were needed and for what end but it’s through my own observations gathering others hard work trying to make sense of these wonderful structures. Respect to all who have worked on this subject as I read it all. 👍
Hey Guys, I never thought about the can not rusting. That thing was crazy in the beginning, it would light an LED for 2 weeks with out adding water but over the years it did not last as long, before you needed to add more water, I think it was due to the cement hardening to a point that the spaces in it got smaller and would not allow, the water in. The main reason I was looking into alternative energy devices is because I lived on a small island in the Paluan chain. The island was called Anguar. I think a wave device would generate electricity better for the island, but the storage device for the electricity needs to be Carbon capacitors, supercaps. I worked on the USCG Loran stations there. I envy you guys living on islands. Thanks for your channel, Yall have fun. Ed
Try salt water what about a sealed lid also should experiment with air gap between your anode cathode but it’s concreted in. Perhaps drill holes in side of can thread anode cathode. Insulate bolts outside then move the bolts closer together test your battery with different air gaps. I think air gap and heat cool exchange is where we will see the overunity and large storage.
I will use this advice, but instead of drilling holes I will make a more porous cement which will allow the electrolyte to move through the walls easier. Thanks
Good morning everyone. I have a new bit of information to relay to all who follow this channel. I have been experimenting with the cement battery for a long time and I have found that the cement will continue to harden. I found that after 7 years the electrical current produced by the cement battery is only in the hundreds of micro amps , which might be good for some applications, but I would like the battery to produce more current. So I will be adding another thought process to the existing. What follows is the next thought process: The human body is full of electrical activity, a perpetual power house, so why not create a living battery component to the mix, just like the human body. The battery will need to flex and vibrate, just like a power generator that has magnets spinning past copper wires which produce electrical current. So I have this thought that I will use Magnetite Nano particles and Copper Nano particles in gelatin, in the battery. The gelatin will cap the particles and keep them from oxidizing and create an unstable house for the movement to take place. I have thought of many ways to introduce the particles into the cement mix, so the next experiments will show these introductions. If my thought process is correct and I make a large monolith the movement of the cement created by the wind, rain and vibration and possibly an electrical shock by static electricity will build up more current than the existing cement battery. I am only guessing now but the internal structure of the monolith will need to be thought out. I believe the internal structure could be a key component in the creation of more current. Stay tuned for more info. If anyone knows or has worked with Nano particle fluid and Gelatin, please give me direction on this subject. Thank you all. SORRY ABOUT THE MILLAAMP MICRO AMP MISHAP, IM STUPID I KNOW Ed

I don't know if it would work that way but it could be used to run passive circuits. Maybe a remote burst transmission station that produces low wattage transmissions, I need to find a circuit that runs off of a couple hundred microamps and low voltage, that can be programmed to burst an intelligent signal. This could produce a signal for decades.
Just needs a joule thief from there to super cap bank to tunable oscillator to a electromagnet coil to replace the magnet in the hendershot generator and free lighting!!
I read Roman concrete is made of salt water and a few different things and gets stronger with its exposure to salt I won't how well that type of concrete filled with salt water and see what you would get.
I would like to make the cement using the recipe of the ancient mayamatam glue and use differing auditory waves directed toward the cement as it dries , the reason is to see if capillaries will form in the cement and allow better flow of current. Does anyone know the recipe of the glue? Please let me know. Thank you
Jon Pelsan water strengthens concrete during the initial curing process you are supposed to keep concrete damp for up to 30 days, after cure water has no effect other than friction wear from pounding water like at a downspout
I will try copper sulfate to dope my carbon in my hydrothermal carbonization chamber, then add it to the cement mix for the positive plate and aluminum oxide or sulfate in the HCCamber for the negative plate. Should be interesting.
@@chelsona2574 I added carbon doped with nickel for one plate and iron3 for the other plate. It produces 200 microamps continuous. I have not tried to charge it, yet. Thanks for the interest.
Your comment just gave me an idea. When the current is applied across the terminals during the curing process, could it possibly create nano wiring, using the graphene or graphene oxide as the nano wires. The question is how much current and voltage is needed to make the correct size nano wires. Thanks John
Hey James, yes I just saw it. I would like to know how they are storing the charge without the use of metals to transfer the charge into the carbon black, of course, they could be using the carbon black as the wires.
@@ET2uscg yup, from what I am reading, the carbon black forms up like wires... The more you use the thicker the wires, but it lowers the strength of the concrete adding more capacity.
Hi Stephanie, When it is a freshly made batter it will turn the motor for 2 to 3 hours and light an LED for days without charging, also I can charge it with a solar panel. The older the battery the less it can be charged. I have found a way to increase the voltage and current and I will make a vid on that.
Also, I believe that a larger quantity of sand in the mix improves the current and if the sand is coated with metal, ex: copper sulfate or zinc sulfate etc... overall improvement. Thanks for commenting and stay tuned for updates.
Hi Tulasa, I did not keep any written formulas, I only have the cement videos to jog my memory. I do know that some countries in the middle east are making buildings with concrete batteries built into the structure. A small amount of current can be used to power sensors. These sensors detect stress fractures in the cement. Some of the information that I use to make my cement batteries come from Robert Murray-Smith's channel, ru-vid.com/show-UC4AkVj-qnJxNtKuz3rkq16A. He worked as a chemist and gives great info on the subject. When I remember more I will send you the info. Have fun.
David, I have put salt in the water that was added. The cement mixture has a small amount of salt in it. I figured that the saltwater would work its way into the pores of the cement and give it ionic flow. I am working on carbon-ceramic plates and salt plates to add to the battery/capacitor. First I need to build a microwave kiln to create the carbon-ceramic plate. I will make a video for this.
That is hard to say I can't tell when it goes dry. it always has a current measurement. I don't know how long moisture stays in cement. Water molecules must stay in the cement for many years because I see a current draw even if I don't put water on it for a year.
Dude, your cool, how is it rechargeable though, this just blows me away, ah, alas. My old man sure doesn't like me now, that I want to make a Damsel in Distress battery kit, keep it in the car,, hey it's only 50 pounds, and a bunch of messy crap, "But Honneeeyyy, I can get 10 to 100 times KVA versus store bought battery...."
I was using it as a storage cap/battery for solar charger. It held a charge really good for a couple of years and diminished until the 7 year mark where it would not hold much of a charge It still can be used to run a microamp motor. Without charging it will show 100 to 50 continuous microamps. I have not run anything with it to see how long it will run a microamp motor.
Thanks Dave, I made a real good one to replace the one in the smoke detector but if looks funny all duct taped to the outside of the case. My wife said, NO way is it staying.
@@davidhenderson3400 sounds good, I have some plans for that. I will need to video that so people can see. I might need to make a conical shape with different membranes for the anodes and cathodes, using different electrolyte salts that will be activated when water is introduced.
Hello, the cement mixture is portland cement, plaster paris or drywall powder, very small amount of sulphur, and activated charcoal powder and water. Hope this helps. Ed
portland cement, lime, a little activated charcoal. I just made a new battery using carbon doped with nickel mixed in the cement for the positive plate and carbon doped with iron3 mixed in the cement for the negative plate. It produces constant current, but I am still testing.
