Proof that Hutchison crystal power cells harvest energy.AVI
the crystal power cells are extracting energy from an external source, so I design these cells specifically so that they are not capable of sustaining a chemical reaction. The cells are most likely extracting energy from the background electrostatic field. The cells are essentially an electret, an electrical version of a permanent magnet. The cells are made of pennies, rochelle salt and epsom salt. The epsom salt and rochelle salt are made into a paste then dried into a wafer between the pennies. I dissolved copper into the salts by using electrolysis on some copper wire submerged in the salt paste. One penny, in a pair, is oxidised with heat while the other is shiny and new. The crystals are polarised with a very brief tap of current from a power supply during the drying process. Cells should not be used until the crystal is completely dry. Expect about .7 to .9 volts per cell. Once dry, they can be stacked to create voltaic piles.
