How to Make a Bedini Crystal Battery

[Branch Gordon]

Ok right on. Were you continually mixing it, or did you blend and then stop? Just curious for when I have a go at it.

I seem to remember John had a mixer he made from a windshield wiper motor he got from the scrapyard...and he was using that to continually mix something. Not sure if that was the same mixture or not...

so that would be right then branch I have only done batteries with straight alum, the one I tried with the mixture gelled up after I put it together in my blender... so there is something I did wrong. the one I got to keep working was a pure alum one.....

Sorry,

Tom,
After mixing the Alum first, did you put all the chemicals in the blender at one time or did you add them in one at a time?
I took John B response to Branch, to mean you had to watch the Hydrate for the gelling????

i added them one at a time and waited 10 or so minutes tilltheir were no solids each time.... I wll get back to it eventually too much on my plate right now...

I am putting together a list of everything I need to replicate John's crystal battery at the beginning of this thread. I found these copper Buddhist offering bowls pretty cheap. $20 for 7 of them. That look like what I need?

Hi Branch,
The description didn't say but assuming those are pure copper and not copper coated they would work fine. Any copper can be used as long as it is not just a coating over tin.

I have sent the seller an email asking if it's solid copper. I will post here with response. As far as the magnesium goes, would this work: http://amzn.com/B0010O748Q?

Then I would just solder the wire directly to that magnesium block?

Branch,

no you want to drill a hole and tap it, use a rign terminal and bolt screw it in. use a stainless bolt.

Ok I created a WishList on Amazon because I love Amazon and use it all the time. I added everything that I think I need to assemble this battery and circuit.

Does someone mind double checking my selections?

Ok good to know. Thx!

Branch,
Those fire starters will work, my first few cells were made with exactly that. Later I played around with other things and got some Electrodes, those were good but they have a steel core and it will corrode.

This is what I like to use now after much tinkering. It is pure magnesium .

Again it is only a suggestion as any magnesium will work but I prefer to keep other elements out.

Thanks Bob! I just bought this: http://bit.ly/HAEHzX

Cant go wrong with that haha! Just bought everything I need on ebay for around $17, so excited to put it together next week!

Cheers!

That should work very well. Probably better for your Bowl design, flatter and wider.

I make my cells with copper pipe so the shape of those rods is easier to work with in my case.

BTW:
I don't know if you have browsed my thread about these cells but you may want to take a look. I go over some things I discovered about the heating process for the copper that I did not have figured out when I first started making these.

I dont think I have. What is the name of the thread?

Also, these are the inductors I purchased. These right? http://www.ebay.com/itm/400543908213...84.m1439.l2649

There were many different types...

Copper mag cell,, I will try to link it below.

Sorry I cannot help with that one. I built the cells but did not make an oscillator for them, not yet anyway. I just put mine in series to get the voltage I want to run an LED or whatever. Mine put out a good 1.5 volts each so two in series drives LED's decently.
