super sweet Robert. the voltage goes up drastically faster than i thought it would. and alot higher than i thought it would. AWESOMENESS. Thanks for joining us on Shazizz Knights of The Round Table on Sunday. You stole the show. :) MUDDy
You made that nanoparticulate copper solution, perhaps you could simply rub a little of that on the outer sides of the carbon and that might allow you an efficient and low cost current collector that would not interfere with the electrolyte action while helping maintain moisture? Seeing as you have been laminating some of your projects, maybe you could stack these and laminate or encapsulate them to keep the electrolyte moist, and if they are 'open encapsulation' [something you can access the inside of] you could periodically add more NaHCO3 or the likes to keep them working for however long it takes the carbons to break down and stop producing voltage, or, perhaps, maybe regenerate them via charging.
Thanks, I found this to be the best video on a carbon battery. I couldn’t quite make out what you mixed the carbon with to paint it on the paper. Could you let me know? I’d like to do this for homeschooling. I believe Tesla is working on this and I believe it should be used in all homes. A simple wind generator/ voltage regulator and battery station could probably take up the excess power needs of the future. So appreciate your time and understanding. It was a great video. Seriously
Si-C battery might be interesting and also gold-carbon battery(due to electric potential of electrods) its very attractive idea when both electrode is chemistry-neutral
Could u attach a cylinder to a speaker woofer or sub and as it vibrates up and down side to side if you wrap it in copper and have a magnets on the outside of it.could it make alot of electricity. Maybe the cylinder is a foot long
Perhaps a sponge like material would have a larger surface area for the reaction to take place (whatever it is) - similar to the lungs - interesting progress.
I have often wondered if it would be possible to make a battery that charged itself up from an heat source, ie a battery that you could stick on the wood stove, use heat to charge it, or maybe even still be able to charge it conventionally, then run it down under load and then reverse the chemical process again by heating it back up to recharge it. With battery technology the possibilities are endless I suppose. You could have solar panels acting also as batteries. I have played around with Bismuth Telluride heat- see beck effect generators like the ones on stove fans, but at the moment they are only about 6% efficient.
I looked into the karpen cell as it occurred to me that my knowledge of it was a bit second hand. Apparently it's validity is something of a debate on Wikipedia, particularly in its duration of effect. Someone should go over there and explain it to them. Maybe even link this video, lol. I'm not confident enough with the jargon or the math to explain exactly why this would last as long as it does. Granted, it does not have to be you, maybe one of your other viewers. I think you are doing more important things at the moment.
another great video Robert; keep it up mate, your inspiring us all. I tried to make a paper battery 2 months ago when i heard abotu the powerjapan plus' version. I did not get a reading on my various attempts. could you please help guide me to the proper recipe ;)
As interesting as your topic is, it's very difficult to understand you. Have you listened to the acoustics on this video clip? I'm sure you can do better. Or add subtitles. Please.
Robert, I ran across an interesting sheet insulator which I would think could be used at the magnetic level in creating peripheral barriers to the current within the cell. It is used to view magnetics: m.ruclips.net/video/K6ZgHKIE-8Y/видео.html

Thank you !! I've been wondering about carbon batteries. Now, back to the drawing board.
Hey, Robert 'you should get a better reading if you use copper pads on your meter clips instead the normal alligator clips. Just a thought.
true enough - but it doesn't matter much at this stage mate as long as it is consistent - but thanks
Si-C battery might be interesting
and also gold-carbon battery(due to electric potential of electrods)
its very attractive idea when both electrode is chemistry-neutral
ur gonna win the noble prize one of these years

Absolutely I have one drying lol
Robert, 'would not regular carbon tracing paper work the same way? Just a though.
sure - i don't see why not - definitely worth a try
Thank you Robert, just gotta love it! Cheers.
cheers mate
would bitumen or other hydrocarbons work?
Hmm, Thanks for showing some futute tech. Since they have shown what a 3-d printer can do I wonder about the 4-d and up that is not shown can do...
Mate, this is not future tech this is now
Very cool rob. I have been wanting to make an all carbon battery of some sort.Could two graphitic foams be used in an electrolyte? Like a capacitor.
i don't see why not
batteries can be used for transistors,transformers and electrolytic transformers.
awesome
Thanks Robert, inspiring and exciting as always. Charcoal...haha, gotta love science!
lol - chemistry rocks lol

I suppose it would be mate - i would certainly encourage you to look into it and maybe do some experiments along these lines
Have you tried copper tape painted with the same setup as you have there?

sometimes people like to debate - myself i leave them to it and do
What batteries work as both batteries and supercapacitors at the same time?
And do you have an instructional video on how to make that?
asymmetric caps - same principles just use a metal oxide on the cathode - search google scholar for fuller details
Your awesome Rob!
lol - cheers mate
what about just spirulina for cathode.willit give current
would increasing the strength of the base increase the current?
only to a degree after a certain amount you get pore clogging and reduced current
Love it wondering what would happen if you used graphene one side and carbon the other. ! Dont know too much anout this but its super.
good idea mate
Robert Murray-Smith
haha did this lead to the following video? i'd love to see the cells in series. :D
GERMcorporation
working on it
Robert Murray-Smith
:D!!!!
another great video Robert; keep it up mate, your inspiring us all.
I tried to make a paper battery 2 months ago when i heard abotu the powerjapan plus' version. I did not get a reading on my various attempts. could you please help guide me to the proper recipe ;)
i go through the recipe above mate - i know it seems stupidly simple but that is all i did
you took graphite, mixed it with acetate and water ? and the other side is charcoal mixed in acetate and water?
GERMcorporation
polyvinyl acetate - which is white glue
suspended in liquid it is a paint? and evaporation results in sheets?
hahaha this is going to change everything
GERMcorporation
interesting isn't it lol
Is this the only material that has so many free electrons. ?
no metals have more but it is carbon!
salt water graphene batteries?
Have this some utility at real word? i mean to do something like use this as a regular battery
to make this useful you would have to work on it - but that is true of anything that has utility in the real world
Sir hi, please can you make other video in french,because yours video is very interesting but the english problem
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
