Hello,

This is my replication thread for Joel Lagace's Quantum Power Cell.

Info from one of my posts there:

I ordered some conductive carbon felt from China:

Soft Battery Electrode Conductivity Graphite Felt High Temperature Carbon Fiber

As Relaxa is not available in Europe, the closest product I found available and I ordered is this:

Effecol 3350 Epsilon Health, 12 plicuri x 13,3 g, S.I.I.T.

Hopefully its PEG 3350 composition is similar to the Canadian product.

I don't have a sheet of magnesium but I have one high-purity Zinc plate I bought for the water-based device (post here).

I'll see how it works with that and I'll try with other metals. If the efficiency will be lower I will search for a magnesium plate.

For now I must wait for the carbon felt, it will take a few weeks to come from China.

I'll come with updates.

During the vacation I tried different configurations to use the voltage and almost no current provided by the cells:

I'm taking with me two quantum cells, a bunch of electronic components, some small ferrite cores, a multimeter, a pocket oscilloscope and a breadboard plus connectors for it.

I'll finally have more time for experiments with these cells.

The reason I didn't posted updates is the experiments I've made were not successful.

The amount of electronic components I took with me was very limited so the configurations I tried were limited too.

Now I'll continue to experiment with these cells, I still have a few more ideas.

Even if the current is almost 0 there is still voltage provided by the cells and that's energy which certainly can be used somehow.

I'll post updates when I'll have relevant results.

Regards,

Fighter

Hello,

Adding some updates here, unfortunately not good.

I dedicated this entire weekend trying different ideas for using the voltage provided by the cells.

I wasn't able to obtain any current with that voltage.

I even tried with a Joule-Thief I've built. I know the Joule-Thief is using current to boost voltage so in this situation it was unlikely to work but I thought it's worth a try:

It didn't worked, the LED was off.

One thing I noticed is the cells can boost the voltage of dead accumulators. I have some 1.5 V AA and AAA rechargable batteries which are very old (a few years of use) and my charges are showing them as defective and are not able to charge them anymore.

So when I put one of those in series with a cell (and a non-polarized capacitor in parallel with their output) there is some kind of symbiosis between them, meaning the battery is providing some current and the cell is providing extra-voltage so they can power 1-2 LEDs for a long time.

In this image the rechargable battery have about 1.2 V:

But seems in time the voltage is slowly decreasing, about 1-2 mV within 12 hours so I guess it's not gonna run forever. Even if this configuration gives the capability to power 1-2 LEDs (which the battery itself could not do) and probably a much longer time than the energy of the battery itself would do.

One last experiment I intend to try is to let a cell load a capacitor and to use a transistor commanded by my signal generator to discharge that capacitor at some intervals in a resistor to see how much voltage and (if any) current is in those discharges. Maybe that could make a LED blink at some intervals, that would be a way to use cells' voltage.

I'll see how it goes, I need to find some time to prepare build the circuit and to do the experiment.

Other than that, for now I'm kind of out of ideas so I will put these experiments on hold. Maybe in time I will find possible ways to use these cells.

I dedicated a lot of time building and experimenting with these cells, it's time to continue with my DSE experiment

In parallel with the prepation of this last experiment with the cells I'll start building that customized capacitor and prepare the next experiments with my DSE device.

Fighter

Hello,

Posting an update with an experiment I've done in the weekend.

What I wanted to see is if the most powerful cell can mantain a electrolytic capacitor charged while it's peridically discharged when its voltage is going above ~0.563 V.

For that I was using a Toshiba 1SV149 varactor according to the ChatGPT discussion here. The only change from that discussion is I've used an electrolytic (polarized) capacitor, I've tried with a non-polarized capacitor too but I saw no difference in behavior.

This is the schematic I used:

When the resistor is disconnected (not consuming any energy from the capacitor) the cell is charging the capacitor to ~1.28 V:

But when I'm discharging a part of the energy into the resistor (when the voltage in capacitor goes above ~0.563 V) the cell is capable to maintain the capacitor charged at ~0.563 V as you can see in this video:

As you can see the random and fast fluctuations are still present and the scope still can't get a lock on them so the parameters shown by the scope are not really useful.

I've left this experiment running for 24 hours and the cell was still maintaing the voltage of the capacitor at ~0.563 V. The cell's performance is not affected, when I disconnected the resistor the cell is still able to slowly charge the capacitor at ~1.28 V as before those 24 hours.

What I want to try is to replace the varactor with a transistor commanded by my signal generator so I can discharge the capacitor at various frequencies and see how much energy I can extract from the capacitor while the cell is still able to recharge it and to maintain its voltage constant.

I'm trying to find time to prepare this experiment.

I'll come with updates.

Regards,

Fighter

I corrected the varactor symbol in the circuit diagram above, before it was the symbol of a simple diode.

My mistake, it was late night when I draw it in Circuit Wizard.

I insisted more with different ideas but so far the status is no-go...

So I have this cell which is still providing about 1.26 V but the main problem is there is no current.

It's charging capacitors but by discharging those capacitors I can't get a single LED blink. Which is strange because discharging capacitors means there should be also current.

Maybe I did something wrong during the experiments or maybe there was an imperfect contact because I'm using a testing board and testing connectors (which are not very reliable) but for now I'm really putting this on hold and get back to building the customized capacitor for my DSE experiment because I've put that experiment on hold for too long.

I'll keep thinking about how to use this cell because it's more challenging than I imagined. For now it just stays there providing 1.26 V like a challenge to me... ❓🔋❓
