DIY homemade Flexible solar cell

[@project-unifiedfreepeoples]

I often wonder if instead of toilet paper that dries very quickly when electrodes heat from solar thermal energies, if a glycol gel impregnated with electrode would be more beneficial? Also have you ever considered trying a electrolyte of carbon or graphene? The color of those two may increase a better electron swap due to greater photon absorption.

Have you tried a sheet of dry salted or hydrated salted gelatin? Of course also encapsulated, also try with hydrated gelatin and the ink of a fluorescent marker, The gelatin with the ink acts as a light concentrator for the cell, The gelatin with the ink acts as a light concentrator for the cell, Robert Murray Smith demonstrated it with a commercial cell in one of his videos..I like this homemade and cheap idea, greetings.

Amazing! thanks for giving us such an experiment. I wonder if it is the copper oxide that is catching the sunlight here? if so, I think if we made a sandwich by placing a saltwater napkin between the copper and the copper oxide, it would give less space and increase the performance

[@ugarit5]

Next time,make more of these and try powering something with them. Also,maybe using a porous silicone or a graphene membrane would work better than paper

[@dav1dbone]

Like it,. I read further down, you are waiting for some SnIn glass, what about trying a diy electro deposition chamber and try just tin coating glass? I saw a video a while back how to make glass conductive super easy method, I'll have a look and get back.

Hmm, solar cells usually needs both P-type and N-Type semiconducting materials. Copper oxide is N-type semiconductor, but where your P-type ? This is probably why your voltage is very low.

Ahhh FANTASTIC BROTHER!!! VERY INSPIRING!!!

[@majorseven5770]

Use titanium powder next in collector or cathode for reactiveness

[@federicaspadazzi229]

hello, who works as N or P junction?

[@yvessgaminginnout8837]

Can this power a 5mm LED light? Please i need answers i want to make a DIY solar cell for a school project

[@cayrex]

Hello! A singel cell will not be able to power the LED. Maybe 3 of 4 cells will do the job, but I am not sure 100%. Use some LED and the voltage booster from garden solar lamp.

Incearca sa faci depunere de oxid de cupru si electrolit apa de sticla

[@Jkauppa]

thats a thermocouple also, as diode, like solar cell, no matter where the heat/energy comes from

[@Jkauppa]

would be better if you just torched the surface of a copper sheet, into Cu*O

[@Jkauppa]

why did you measure voltage, and not amps, like thermocouples are more giving

[@cayrex]

The current is 0.8 mA on the sun and 0.2 mA in the shadow,... nothing more to see!

[@Jkauppa]

@@cayrex right on the seeing, mate!

[@Jkauppa]

@@cayrex hmm how about a burned copper sheet 1m^2 in maximum sun, a much larger surface, maybe some current collecting strips/water on the surface

[@janamahachereddy8193]

why it is not using in solar cell on company

[@samuelsungstabtu7527]

Cant see the Voltmeter reading with your hands removed. Need to tweak the gamma on the video...

[@shakrajabeen9522]

Sir can you made one video on Ni foam asymmetric supercapacitors

[@cayrex]

How do you mean by that? Ni foam is usually used as current collector

[@janamahachereddy8193]

in solar cells copper is not using why

[@janamahachereddy8193]

do this on a big solar panel video

[@Andrew-oh6kg]

👍👍👍👍

[@roshanpalaram8931]

Put a led on the two electro

[@nnejiamaechi9385]

The meter is not visible for one to see the voltage

Voltage not mentioned

[@cayrex]

It was shown in the video

Why on bottle you have NaCl2?? What blasphemy is that xD

[@cayrex]

hahaha forget the 2

[@ejkozan]

@@cayrex viewers do not forget Viewers will find everything xD

[@cayrex]

Shi*t happens mate :) Some people will always find something to complain 🤷‍♂️

[@ejkozan]

@@cayrex i am not complaining xD Watching your video's is very inspiring! Keep with good work mate!

Ah, I am not talking about you ☺. I mean other handful of people,... who are on the lookout like predators, somewhere here in this electronic jungle. Who sniff out the prey, and when you least expect it, they attack you from behind,... boom! 😂😂
