Your channel never ceases to amaze me. I wish schools would use you as a science resource.
Although this is very interesting, my favorite uses for mushrooms remain pizza, omlettes, video game plumbers, and going back in time to the 1960s.
I like mushroom.
I like omelette.
Mushroom omelette does not compute. I think it's the textures.
Namasté 🙏🕊️💞
You have truly turned into a mad scientist now your electrocuting poor innocent mushrooms
I played Mario bros so I know that mushrooms are not innocent
Mushrooms share roots and thus their sins. They didn't have a jesus that curled up and got eaten by a bird for their sins.
Mycelium is being considered for the construction of CPUs (Central Processing Unit) - they offer vast networks of connections and logic behaviour. Now powered by your mushroom batteries, and perhaps - mushroom enclosures? Superb video, thank you.
Awesome stuff Rob. You are a master at educating and entertaining you audience
Great stuff. I always enjoy seeing how much you enjoy this stuff. Cheers Rob
Wow is right on that runtime.
"Better than a bought one!"
Shroomtastic!
carbonized mushrooms, sounds like my ex-wife's cooking LOL she could carbonize any food you like lol
LOL
What a madcap, mushroom cap, supercap idea. Love it.
Liberty cap 😂
I finally got my first full night of sleep after two weeks og cluster headaches. It seems like the psychoactive compound in the mushrooms I took, took away the headache and I was able to relax and sleep without walking up feeling like I am dying.
If that is an Otto Snow reference then you got the wrong drug, he used microdoses of LSD because it specifically affects the vasculature, including in the brain.
Try single cell algae they have lots of interesting shapes and sizes and you don't have to turn them into a powder after graphitizing them.
This is absolutely wild! Haha
And all these time I have been just eating mushrooms...
Hi guy!
Good show, ol chum.
Amazing
I know what to do with those mushrooms growing in my pasture!
😊 awesomeness
Is there any reason for the carbon source to specifically be from fungi or would any kind of ground up charred material work ?
Meb has smtn to do w their nerve systems how they structure other tissues which results in such a nice fanned out connectivity structure under microscope is my guess, since nerve n genes direct structure formations nd mushrooms sorta r all over the place lik a plant /bacterium or herd of animals nd spongy too
@@matcauthon876 Human language doesn't have words for how wrong you just were.
Mushrooms (and toadstools) use chitin for structure while plants use cellulose. Chitin contains nitrogen in its structure so the carbonized version is naturally nitrogen doped.
@@user-vd2tp4dq6p Thank you, makes sense. Would love to see chem analysis of how much of that nitrogen ends up being captured mind you.
Use licopodium powder to make things hydrophobic.
Is it anything that can be carbonised or mushrooms in particular? My first thought were "I wonder which grows and can be dried/processed quicker en masse, mushrooms or bamboo."
I had the same thought, mushrooms do grow pretty slowly compared to grasses. My brain went to straw, but bamboo is even better.
Also, I'm assuming the higher nitrogen content of the fungi is just burned off. Maybe some remains and improves performance in... some way?
The right conditions can make some grow in as little as 24hrs if I remember correctly tiny spuds through lol
You can
This seems like it could be done with any source of carbon. Did I miss something? Is there something about the cellular structure that improves performance even after carbonization and grinding?
I fail to see the difference myself
Can traditional methods of charcoal making do the job if a kiln isn't available?
Question not related to this episode: How to find a good and relatively cheap water turbine for microgeneration?
I have a pond (circa 22x45m) with springs in it. I use 16cm pipe to remove excess water. I plan to use syphon and net-filter to reduce the amount of dirt like leaves and branches, syphon would suck water below the surface. It would increase momentary flow, I would like to use energy from flow.
Level difference is a little bit more than meter.
there are lots of options mate - all you can do is review them and make a decision - everything will ave pros and cons - it's up to you really on what is important to you
Have you looked into acoustic heat pump at all?
Have you calculated the energy density of the paste that you made? I was trying to calculate but I am not sure how much paste it took on the strips and how Joules or mAh until reaching the 1.6V? Thank you and I'll also check some papers 🍻
Quick question sir, since you did not activate it without KOH, the separator (kitchen tower) did you add any electrolyte to it, or just stand as a separator sir?
2 years, are you crapping me, has it really been that long. I think I am developing old timers, good thing I'm seeing my quack tomorrow. 😂
Nice video and cool experiment.
would be interesting to see how this compares to standard AA batteries / consumer batteries.
its a capacitor tho, not a battery...
@@BenjaminBjornsenI guess i'm meaning how does this compare to the store bought version.
like i'm pretty sure a store bought capacitor out performs this, but it'd be cool to see the comparison at least.
Amazing 👏... is there anything we can't turn into a form of power 🤔😅✌️🙏
nope lol - i joke of course - but the range of materials really is quite astonishing
Does this have to use mushrooms as the organic carbon source? It seems like what makes this work is the powdered activated carbon, providing the immensely high surface area, which is how you get such a high capacity for charge storage relative to the low mass and volume of material used, with the aluminium foil acting as a common conductor, joining all those tiny particles of activated carbon together in parallel. But if this is what is happening here, then surely it would work the same way no matter what you made the activated carbon from? Or is there actually something specific to the mushrooms which somehow makes the activated carbon made from them more effective as a charge storage medium than activated carbon made from any other organic material?
Impressive! This could lead to all sorts of research...
What was the electrolyte that Robert used on the paper spacer?
woooow!!!
Wasn't there a star-trek warp drive that used fungi?
Sometimes Robert sounds like the emperor in star wars when he says power
lololol
What other simple items would work like those mushrooms?
a ton of stuff mate - feathers, silk, leaves,coffee grounds are just a few of thee things i have tried
@@ThinkingandTinkering I need to make one of those special ovens you have but bigger. Do you have a vid on making those?
i do mate it is on the omnibus channel called kiln making @@lii1Il
@@ThinkingandTinkering Nice! Ty
Linea, how about powering a Stargate with that mushroom?
Have you tried making it into a flux capacitor?
You said we could use potassium hydroxide for it, instead, u saying its just the binder and diy water u used? To activate it.
What about Hemp the most versatile plant ever. I’m sure something can be done on this channel with that plant, even if we just see Robert doing a big bong to relax 😂
pot head
I'm sure it's a regional thing, but "doing a bong" sounds so funny to me.
Around here we smoke a bong, or maybe even hit one. But DO a bong? Never.
He did a little video or 2 already👍
Yep, just a few 😂
Robert with a huge bong 😂😂😂😂 oh my, that is hilarious.
OMG! Carbon can be gotten from almost anything you burn, right?
@@CoruscationsOfIneptitude I like coffee grounds.
That's crazy mushroom power for the win 🏆
So basically if you can turn it in to carbon it can be turn in to a battery .
How about biochar 🤔 ❓
😇❤️
I would argue that if mycelium can form intricate chemical structures along with Crystal structures I should be able to extract carbon out of the surroundings and convert that into a concentrated carbon material ready for use for a supercapacitor if it's genetic code was correctly programmed
Once the mushroom has been carbonized, its no longer a mushroom?
That's a profound question we don't have time to answer.
@@declanhart1617 oh dear. Well I'd say its safe to assume that this is not energy from or using a mushroom, because its actually from carbon.
Is it a bat or a cap?
It is the night...it is...BatCap 🦇

My favorite use of mushrooms is illegal :(
its interesting that the magic mushroom psilocybin cubensis' active compound, psilocin is a seratonin analog neurotransmitter that binds to the 5ht2a receptor Meanwhile amania muscaria red white spotted magic mushroom goes to GABA the on off switch. wooo! I love shrooms! :D
I'm curious now how psilocin fro shrooms, as a seratonin analog increase neuroconnectivity and signalling in the brain, like it produces more current in neuroprocessing but regulation of that connectivity can be a problem hence "tripping too hard" or having a bad trip. Man, I haven't had a shroom in half a decade. what a shame they'e so nourishing spiritually, like a long pilgrimage from the woods. I wonde if they can use binary encoding of seratonin analog bombardment to neurons to force-feed educational material to brains by giving the increased bandwidth structural value rather than just floodin the person with emotive awe of the rush of sensual amazingness
What happens when you take both??
you should ask Hamilton Morris the pharmacoligist / chemist / psychonaut if you can pay him to answer your question, I can promise you no one else in the world can really answer your erudite question very well at all except he.@@st33ldi9ital
Robert seems like a fun-gi!
Why mushrooms??
Likely because of how their tissue grows into a tangled mass of fibers containing a lot of pores as it creates a large surface area containing a lot of nitrogen
ohh, true. mushroom fruiting bodies are structurally chitin
So we can have three robots talk to each other in this comment thread, clearly!!!
@@JustOneAsbesto four!
@@Milkex Okay, human, how does nitrogen doping your carbon fibres increase capacitance??
why a mushroom and not a strawberry?
Eat mushrooms
Thanks for the video. 150 FARADS per gram is pretty good. About 10,000 farads = ~1AA battery (roughly). So, you need a LOT of farads to equate to 1 AA Alkaline battery.
An equivalent mushroom paste version would need almost 70 gms of paste only to = 1 AA, and I measure a battery here at 22 grams (including the casing). (And that doesn't include all the other materials to make the capacitor itself).
Considering that mushrooms can be "grown"... manufacturing a fairly large capacitor bank capable of storing the same energy as a bank of AA batteries is feasible. Such a bank could be equivalent to a 1kWh bank for inverters. So this could have some good implications for the future if manufacturers use this.
Additionally, capacitors tend to have charge / discharge cycles may times better than any rechargeable battery. (Not sure about this version tho).
Great info!
You really can't compare farads to a cell. The amount of energy stored in a capacitor depends on the square of voltage.
@@misterhat5823Well, if you know the voltage being stored (which in this example of AA battery, it is 1.5 volts) you can certainly make an approximation, since you know the farads already.
I've looked into this, with a mind to spending some serious money on a "power station" for a rural location and it turns out that the best solution is a combination of Edison batteries and supercapacitors, both last a very long time and compliment each other in ways that remove their individual downsides, which is why you never see "haters" comparing the combination against any other technology. Deliberately ignoring synergy (systems rather than components) is a common deception by omission tactic.
@@DanielSMatthews Edison type batteries are amazing if you can find them at the right price...
@@marcfruchtman9473 Yep, sadly I can't get the ones with the nickel steel cases, the ones that really are immortal if well cared for. The cheaper plastic ones are limited by the life of the plastic, but my sparkie knows a guy who just took their guts and put them all in one huge custom stainless steel trough.
interesting❤
bs... that was powered by another power source...
You must be new here....
Definitley robert will let you know if hes playing. And thats usually only april fools. Watch more
I am wondering why you grind the mycelium at all instead of just growing it into the desired shape. (two big plates) and repeat every step on the carbonized mycelium as per your video. the surface area would be incredible. it may make it more difficult to attach the electrodes OR you maybe could just grow the mycelium mat around the electrodes in the first place?
just my first thoughts on it.
I thought the same thing. Maybe the grinding process adds more surface area? That's what I always wonder when a high surface area material is blended or powdered
