Default Reusable Salt Water Battery

I sooner build my own thanks..... ya think a rifled barrel would increase
accuracy? ;-D

| The MHD can be towed.
|
| You can buy cannons online.

| No current..... my Father is a machinist and is instructing me. Metal
| Lathe
| and some bending equipment as well as a heavy band saw type cutting tool
| for
| metal up to an inch thick. I do have access to a plasma cutter at a
| friend's
| shop. I'm just starting to learn the craft. I'm currently overhauling
and
| re-roofing the workshop and as soon as it's finished I plan to start on
a
| canon for my sailboat. I'm looking at stock now for milling on the
lathe.
|
| Can this type of generator be towed array deployed?

| | Really?
| |
| | I can send you plans to test for a battery.
| |
| | If you are moored in strong currents you might want to try a
| | magnetohydrodynamic generator. It can be built with a pvc tube, common
| | magnets, two wires and some simple copper electrodes. The salt water
| current
| | flows through the tube which has magnets on the outside, which also
has
| a
| | magnetic field on the inside. There is a voltage induced between
| opposing
| | walls of the tube, where you put the electrodes. There is minimal drag
| on
| | this device and no moving parts.
| |
| | Do you have a shear and a brake? You could make a large battery. Are
you
| | qualified to operate machinery?

| | I've got all of those parts and a metal lathe/ machine shop.....
| where

| | I get the plans?

| | | It's obvious Bobsprit knows zilch about anything electrical, or
just
| | | anything for that matter.
| | | Yes, indeed, Simon the output is a little low, but it's a small
| battery.
| | If
| | | one were to make one in a 50 quart plastic cooler, the ouptut
would
| be
| | | considerably more.
| | | In fact, if one were resourceful you could build this device from
| metal
| | shim
| | | stock, a cooler, some plastic and be in business.
| | | You could even make a battery from old zinc sacrificial electrodes
| and
| | scrap
| | | copper pipe tied in an alternating fashion on a line and lowered
| over
| | the
| | | side of a yacht. You would need a wire to connect successive
copper
| to
| | zinc
| | | piece and a wire at each end of the string. This would easily
| recharge
| a
| | | battery - 24 hours a day and cost next to nothing.

| | | Interesting that you can't read or figure out how to
| | | view the source code to find the specs I posted.

| | | Here it is, just add salt water and you get 12 VDC! When it
runs
| | down,
| | | simply rinse with fresh water, refill and away you go!
| | |
| | | Interesting that there are no output specs.
