This might just be crazy enough to work
so I was flippin thru a science book today when i came across this picture that had a solution of NaCI or Sodium Chloride
and inside the mixture it had 2 metal conductors and those were attached to some wires that ran into a battery and then into a lightbulb and the bulb was burning bright
I dont know shit about science so I was wondering if anyone could verify if this method would work for running maybe 3 or 4 CFLs without any power cords or anything

what man its a good idea :stoned:

i thunk youd need a shitting load of NaCI

how much would it take?
does it not stay lit for a long time?

Didn't you say it had a battery hooked-up?

if it sounds too good to be true.....it generally is

nah see the battery powers the bulb and the sodium chloride just caries the current to complete the circuit, and after a while the prongs will become coroded, forming a zinc coat on the prongs if my memory is correct , you can do the same but using a lemon or orange instead of the sodium chloride

Why don't you make a bank of potato batteries?

lmao cool i bet potatoes will power some CFLs
how long you think potatoes will last tho?
cause ill have to change em out every 2-3 days cause they get rotten

No, no, you need to use LEDs with a potato battery! :D
Lets see, that pic I posted... the specs are 4mA/500lbs potatoes, plus you'll need an AC inverter if you want to run your HPS off them, and change them out weekly...
If you can grow that many potatoes to power a HPS, why not just go into the potato crisps business?

ya pure water does not conduct a current. What you were seeing was an electroconductivity meter at work. they added NaCl (an ionic compound) to the water and were showing that the water now conducted electricity. As water only is conductive when it has ionic compounds dissolved in it.

reminds me of the 'water into gasoline' stories ... :D ... BUT, at least you came up with an idea from reading a science book, and there are lots of people in here that don't read anything ... keep up the research ... :thumbsup:

no no i dont want to run a HPS off them just maybe 3 or 4 120watt CFLs

No fucking around with vegetables! You have to concentrate on GROWING!!!!Go order some solar panels or a wind turbine from Northern Tool.

Hell yeah!
Harbour Freight Tools is another cool one.
And Grainger works as a great reference.

thats a badass idea, wind power
hm....i will prolly invest in that sooner or later

I'm considering putting up a small wind farm on my roof since I live alongside a long ridgeline and get consistent strong breezes. Peak output is 400w/turbine, and the grid will buy it back.
Just a hint for those of you considering wind, solar, etc. power, charging a battery and messing around with all that wiring actually reduces efficiency, it's better to hook up an inverter and run your setup directly back to the grid so your net power consumption drops.
And don't forget to get an emergency shutoff and tag your telephone pole that you have a generator! Otherwise the poor linesman coming to save you from a power outage gets zapped.

As of last week , wind farms, voltaic have yet to make ONE CENT .
YOU see they get a subsidy from the goverment.
So you see the poor people pay 14-18 cents per kwh. When its normaly made between 2-8 cents per kwh.
Now for free power I use this system

Ok dude...
Send me over some of that chronic you're smoking!!! :stoned:

Leds have yet made there way, but with help of nature the new system may, help.
Femized led, yes femized, the will attract horney male fire flies , thus power is picked up with photovolitc cells, in to a converter and then to the hps or mh bulb.
This system solves 2 porblems:smokin:
Leds will produce enough power to grow pot.
You can sublet the peep show, to the fimizied led, as a peep show, and get fire fly shit to fertilize your grow.
As soon as I can find my pecker powered bed driver I will post. :dance:
If a 150 pound person driving with a 4 in stroke (built in safety of .5-2 in for fall out) How many joules does that displace.
Waiting for the led of life
O Lord I Feel the power (of the led)

Got this straight from /., I'm sure many of you will enjoy. :)

I already have the patent on several "free" energy sources, but they aren't strictly free. There's the Feline Buttered Bread Commutator for example. It operates by strapping a piece of buttered bread buttered face up to a cat's back, then dropping it from a height. Since a cat always lands on its feet and buttered bread always lands butter side down, the whole apparatus simply hovers and spins in midair. By adding a wire coil to the cat and by putting a strong magnet in close proximity, voila! Free energy. Of course, it's not that there isn't any loss. For example, the cat needs to be fed and the bread gets stale. The cat tends to vomit occasionally, so there is some clean up involved.

Awesome.
I don't know if any of you guys have seen all the 'dangerous microwave oven' crap on some of the other forum areas, but apparently- I did not know this before!- there is a nuclear reactor in your kitchen microwave oven! I'm going down to Salvation Army right away and buying up all the junk microwaves, and I'm gonna build me a nucler power plant!
