A new spin on John Bedini’s Magnesium / Carbon air battery. Unlike most batteries, the air cells are completely dry. Ambient moisture in the air is usually enough to act as an electrolyte on the cells and begin the generation of electricity. However, this will not work in dryer climates. Our solution is to suspend a configuration of air batteries wired in parallel within a moisture-controlled container.

Initial tests have been very successful and a single generator can produce about 1.5-1.75v at 200 ma for an unknown duration of time, until the magnesium is consumed in the reaction. Tests by others have proven the longevity of the system and it is one that we are looking forward to developing and up-scaling due to its power output and ease of construction.
