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? "Capt. Mooron" wrote in message ... I've got all of those parts and a metal lathe/ machine shop..... where can I get the plans?

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. | | | "Simple Simon" wrote in message | ... | Interesting that you can't read or figure out how to | view the source code to find the specs I posted. | | | "Bobsprit" wrote in message | ... | 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. | | RB | | | | | |
