- | * Wiring as electrode. | + | ====Experiments==== |
- | ==Results== | + | * [[michka:research: |
- | + | | |
- | * Peak voltage at 100mV, drops to 60, stable. | + | |
- | * Voltage changes with oxygenation - + 10 mV. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ===One Container in Crate Design=== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | ==Why ?== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Augemented cathode surface area & reduced water layer width for oxygen access. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ===Crate Paper Design=== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | * Flattened aluminium can as electrode. | + | |
- | * Thick paper sheet as PEM. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ==Why?== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | * Reduced PEM width. | + | |
- | * Augmented electrode (both) surface area. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ==Results== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | * Negative voltage when putting a rock on cathode to maintain it in water. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ===Two Containers Design=== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Hard-drive metal box as electrode material. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ===Other results=== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | * Two multimeter electrodes directly in water: about 30 mV. | + | |
- | | + | |
- | * If water is not clean, voltage increases up to 100 mV. | + | |
- | * Two multimeter electrodes in the mud: 10-80 mV depending on location. | + | |
