 Once you reach a sufficiently interesting voltage, try to connect a LED and see what happens.
+===Other dried designs===
+Except for our sandwich designs, we also had some sushi designs - which are nothing else than wrapped sandwiches. We also made some waffle designs, which are square sushis - not cylindrical.
+We tried alsmost every possible combination out of the available materials from our dead batteries. Here are a few examples:
+   * Copper-insulating (Toshiba)-copper
+   * Copper-graphene (Toshiba)-insulating (Toshiba)-graphene (Toshiba)-copper
+   * Copper-insulating (Toshiba)-lithium (MAC)
+   * Copper-graphene-insulating (MAC)-copper
+   * Copper-graphene-insulating (Toshiba)-copper
+   * Graphene (Toshiba)-insulating-lithium (Toshiba)
+   * ... and so on ...
+Most of the designs did not charge nor held voltage. Some held voltage poorly. In short, we described you in details the best design (by far) up on this page.
+We however encourage you to try anything, as it seems that every battery type is different, and even avery battery, as the damage they overcome makes each of them quite singular in behavior.
+===Wet Designs===
+We also tried some wet designs, which means designs with a liquid electrolyte.
+We tried three electrolytes:
+   * Sulfuric acid - following [[https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/306318|Robert Murray-Smith]] advice.
+   * Salted water - sodium chloride saturated solution.
+   * Demineralized water
+We used two different designs to apply the electrolyte:
+   * Dipping a whole sushi in the electrolyte
+   * Intercalating a sandwich layer made of printer paper dipped into the electrolyte between copper & graphene, thus replacing the insulating layer from the the dead battery
