Good day folks,
I’d like to share my progress on the PEG (Polyethylene Glycol 100%) cell, a novel electrical component that can be described as a nonlinear ferroelectric electret due to its ability to maintain a positive dipole. Here is a video of myself building the cell. There is too much information to document in a single forum post so if your interested. I suggest you visit my Youtube Playlist "Power Cells" for complete information.
https://youtu.be/yV_NcxcxqH8I have been building solid-state power cells for about six months now. I use PEG as a solid-state electrolyte with zero continuity between electrodes. Using a carbon cathode and magnesium anode, the cell acts like an electret and can maintain a static field of around 1 volt. It can also be conditioned as an electret with a precharge during the hardening process. The PEG dielectric is an excellent low-temperature manipulatable electret, compared to traditional high-temperature conditioning dielectrics. This allows the cell to maintain an electrostatic and capacitive effect without the traditional corrosion issues.
The cell can operate around 1mA of current at about one volt, and a few series cells can run small motors and LEDs, and even charge supercapacitors quickly and repeatedly. One of my cells has been operating an LED for almost three months now.
Interestingly, the cell also offers random AC fluctuations that can pass through a DC blocking capacitor, which is one of its unique behaviors. It also keeps the dipole open as both electrodes have zero continuity between the PEG dielectric.
**The Concept of Keeping the Dipole Open:**
In conventional circuits, the source dipole (created by separating charges, such as in a battery) is quickly destroyed as current flows, leading to energy dissipation. Tom Bearden proposed that if a dipole can be maintained (or kept "open"), it could continually extract energy from the vacuum or zero-point field, leading to a system that can sustain itself and potentially provide excess energy.
**How the PEG Cell Aligns with This Concept:**
1. **Negative Resistance:**
The PEG cell exhibits negative resistance, meaning it can add energy to the circuit instead of dissipating it. This helps maintain the dipole by continuously supplying energy.
2. **Nonlinear Ferroelectric Properties:**
The cell’s ferroelectric properties can store and release energy dynamically, contributing to the stabilization of the dipole.
3. **Self-Oscillation and Polarity Flipping:**
The ability of the PEG cell to self-oscillate and flip polarity suggests it can modulate energy flow in a way that prevents the dipole from collapsing.
**Source Identification and Dipole Stability:**
1. **Unidentifiable Source on Return Path:**
If the electrostatic effect can maintain a potential difference without a direct current path, the source of the potential can remain unidentifiable in a conventional sense. This prevents the dipole from being "killed" by a return current.
2. **Maintaining Dipole Stability:**
By using dielectric materials and managing electrostatic charges, you can keep the dipole open and continuously extract potential energy, aligning with Bearden’s principle.
**Potential Solution:**
**Electrostatic Charge Management:**
Using polyethylene or other dielectric materials to manage electrostatic charges and induce polarity inversion could be part of the solution. This approach could help maintain a stable dipole and continuously harness energy without destroying the potential difference.
In summary, using polyethylene to wrap electrodes for electrostatic charge and employing polarity inversion through dielectric materials could provide the isolation needed to maintain a stable dipole. This could prevent the source from being identified and the dipole from being neutralized, potentially offering a way to continuously harness energy as described by Bearden.
Additionally, these cells can provide a big pulse if you pulse reverse the polarity. The behavior of these cells has been experienced by others who are building and replicating the cell over at [Beyond Unity](
