As usual wrong again Ash!
Firstly, where is the 'proof'?? Posting a handful of unsubstantiated Utube videos (along with a very sad and shameful one of JH in a dress), is hardly proof.
Scientifically analysing ANY so called 'crystal cell' is not a giant leap. Ever looked at the output on a crystal radio? What is it? AC or DC? Answer = AC until it is rectified.
IF these cells were harvesting static or anything from the environment, there would be at least the tiniest portion of AC....but there is NOT. It is all DC. DC is only from a galvanic reaction.
You know how else you can tell for sure it is galvanic?? Stick your so called 'dry' cell in the oven for 10 - 15 minutes until it is TOTALLY bone dry. Remove and whilst still hot, place the Multimeter on it....the output will be zero...NOTHING. Over the next day or so, as the ambient humidity wicks into the cell salts again, this will be enough to start the process over and voltage will reappear. This same test applies for the cement cells.
Why do you think the degradation is so slow and the amps so miniscule?? Everything is proportionate thats why! You boost the moisture and acidity like a standard wet cell and suddenly the amps will appear but the life will shorten.
Mucking around with these cells and cement type things is a joke and makes the FE community look uneducated ESPECIALLY when you start claiming it is something that it is not! If you read the history books, the French actually researched battery technology with this type of thing 100 years ago using plaster of paris as the medium before they later moved on to acidic pastes etc.
It's all Galvanic...wake up.
Well in defense, the woman did say that she was getting ac, but I can't trust someone's video until I reproduce the cell myself. Above all else, I'm glad he finally decided to release his recipe for all.
I don't think it is that farfetched to think that tiny crystals could capture energy, by way of the casimir effect. Who knows though, until you build and test it, everything else is just speculation. As for the moisture, it seems as though the sodium silicate should prevent moisture from soaking in.
Also I don't think Ash claimed anything. All he did was copy and paste the youtube video title..
