April 8, 2015 – Crystal cell #6.  I made a new cell using 1/2 inch copper and a magnesium ribbon core.  the magnesium ribbon was very thin and measures about 0.011 inches by 0.160 inches wide.

This cell was 4 inches tall and I used the heat method to finish it.  As soon as it was cool to the touch, I measured 1.363 volts.  It started a steady climb until it reached 1.914 volts in about 5 hours.  it then started to drop and stabilized at 1.461 volts.

Without a load, I monitored this cell for a week and it went up and down from 1.36 volts to 1.46 volts.
