043 Damp Paper - The Future Of Energy

[@Jimbo878]

Absolutely love your presenting style, one of my favourite times of the year was watching the BBC Christmas Lectures, you'd fit right in there, would love to see a TV company offer you a contract for a series. Sadly science programming is non existent now, when I was growing up we had "How", "Magpie", "Tomorrow's World" etc. Anyhoo, merry Christmas to you and yours, Mr Murray 🌲⚗️🧲🔋🌀🌪️

Love your work.... but now am saddened by how much wallpaper I've torn off...

Merry Christmas!

VERY THOUGHT PROVOKING!

Merry Christmas Rob

astounding

[@philleach151]

Oh man , you are so close esp last few videos , Tesla , Reich and older structures have this in common. Think bigger , negative connected to groundwater (car radiator for surface area, dome on top of Ariel structure gathers neg charge underneath, hence positive on top from atmosphere, load and spark gap between the two . The founder of Siemens proved this principle on top of a pyramid in 1890s . Hope this helps , love your vids.

[@mattg6472]

Your on the right track. There's more to it u will find because its weakish in its basic form. You gotta boost it

Merry Christmas to our BritBong not-so-mad Scientist!

Not really related, but... Make a couple of simple capacitors out of plastic and metal. Charge one of them up (to a safe voltage.) Take them apart (carefully!) Swap the plastic insulator from one to the other. Put them back together. Where is the charge? Did it stay in the conductors or travel with the insulator?

[@justtinkering6713]

Wouldn't touching them redistribute the charge to the toucher?

[@StubbyPhillips]

@@justtinkering6713Could happen, but can be avoided.

Please link the paper :)

[@pdwpackrat9246]

A link to the paper please?

[@basilbrushbooshieboosh5302]

Fantastic

[@jacquestaulard3088]

Yes! Here in San Francisco, homeless guy who live in large cardboard boxes can have interior electrical lighting!

[@me1ne]

I'm having trouble understanding the word - what's the stuff we need a very thin layer of?

[@Luziferne]

GO? Do you mean Graphene-oxid? That is basically Graphene that is split off from Graphite by the use of strong oxidisers and acids.

[@me1ne]

@@Luziferne Thank you very much.

[@imtiazaziz3932]

Good

Told ya! Its the future of power ❤

I have the machines on my channel working.

Prussian blue nanopore based catalysts

[@lopsumtathro]

so when i experimented with some charcoal/paper/alu foil/saline solution way back when you were doing those videos this could be the rason my "device" self charged ?

[@marcfruchtman9473]

There are very novel and unusual methods of electricity generation... The first paper's method could be scaled if they can figure out how to maintain the re-wetting. The Graphene Oxide method is also very interesting because it can be recharged.

[@Delchursing]

Would vinegar work as the acid?

[@marcfruchtman9473]

Yes... the paper describes using Acetic acid as well.

[@rogerburley5000]

Yes made one it works

[@jasonburguess]

I love these videos, but in the off grid world miliamps is somewhat of a four letter word, I'd love to see a video about how to produce some serious power, say 10kw at 240 volts continuous.. small power is great if your needs are already met, but I've got a 30amp 240 vac well pump to run and a welder and a water heater and lots more, solar is great but in alaska in winter it's not as much as we need, anything to help us not need to run the petrol hungry 10kw generator that uses a u.s. gallon per hour (3.78liters) . Hopefully you may have some ideas and can make a video about them. Keep up the great work and merry Christmas from alaska!

[@gerryplayz4532]

Robert put up a video in the last week or two about running petrol engines on gas, it could be worth looking into 👍

[@justtinkering6713]

Or try to make things more efficient so they use less power. Better yet, make life simpler so we don't need power anymore.

I have been thinking the same thing about making a moisture absorbing battery for some time now it probly will work if the are made right to where the moisture can be absorbed from air I dont know why a screen on a separator could be used for maximum absorption of moisture .

[@fishyerik]

Yeah, the moisture doesn't turn into power, it's does what the potato does in a potato battery. And, if you get

[@marcfruchtman9473]

I initially thought the same... but after reviewing the paper, they aren't using electrodes that will react chemically with the paper. So, there is something else going on... perhaps a reaction of the acid with the paper.

[@fishyerik]

@@marcfruchtman9473 My main point was that the moisture isn't a fuel, as implied. The basic idea of power out of air humidity is a recurring subject, research has been done many times, and I don't rule out the possibility that some researchers results mostly were caused by dissimilar dirt on the probes and similar artifacts. Any energy devise that have yet to be proven able to provide power that can't be explained be electrochemical processes from the equipment used, should be considered as such, "yet to be proven able". That in it self isn't proof of the opposite, but with ideas like power from air humidity, that has been popping up for years, and remain yet to be proven able to generate power that can't be explained by measuring errors, it's pretty safe to assume it will never become a meaningful way to generate power. And, anyone that implies that air humidity acts as fuel is either not entirely honest, or totally clueless about how energy works. It doesn't matter what research institute, or how many papers, technical words and illustrations they published, if their explanation is that air humidity acts as a fuel/energy source, they're just wrong.

[@marcfruchtman9473]

@@fishyerikYes, I agree with you there. It's clearly not just "plain" water... although there is a small initial reaction with plain water, after that it seems like acid water does the trick on a regular basis -- see Fig. 1 of the paper which shows repeated waveforms of electricity when drops of acid water are dripped onto the paper cells.

i don't watch battery videos. I just want to see the baby.

PLEASE don't mix up current and voltage. (About 2:30).
