    Note:
    Ferric chloride is not available for international shipping.
    You can make the silicone by adding solvent with pure silicone powder.
    Maximum current 20mA.
    After few hours the cell stopped working.
    It may be due to impurities in solvent or silicon powder.
    Solution used to etch the copper was Ferric Chloride. (FeCl3)
    One table spoon in half litre of water and shake 10 minutes
    with the board in it.
    Be careful with any chemical.
    Don't throw the waste in drainage.

      If you look he's anchoring his finger nail against the edge of the work while holding the marker in another. This is known as scribing and is a common technique used in many trades

    • @VictorZucchini
      @VictorZucchini 8 місяців тому

      Not only he is using his other winger to guide it by the edge, he also has loads of lines/ scratches in that same direction which would help with guiding the marker to go in a straight line.

    Uma célula fotoelétrica tem o mesmo princípio de um diodo. Um cristal de silício dopado com fósforo e boro, um em cada lado ao ser atingido pelos fótons movimenta os elétrons que circulam entre o doador e aceitador resultando em energia elétrica. Com condutores obtemos os polos negativos e positivos. Não vi nada disso no vídeo, o que faz pensar que não passa de um truque bem feito. Mas não podemos esquecer que podemos retirar energia de um limão, colocando barrinhas de zinco e cobre. O autor tem uma boa habilidade com as mãos. Parabéns.

    Hey! You guys are doing great.Stay Home.
    Some things you all wanted to know in comments section. As the video maker is *QUARANTINED* . We the publishers are giving some infos.
    If you want to make such solar cell.Don't try this. *The cell stopped working after few hours*.
    The solution used to remove copper was ferric chloride 1 table spoon in half litre water . It took 10 mins to remove necessary copper .Surely the etching time depends on your plate area. *Be careful using any chemical* .
    The current was not more than *20mA*. We tried to light up an led.
    It was dim.
    Moreover it is very tedious job, rather i Would buy a solar cell.
    Thanks all.

      Yeah... Maybe the chemicals has a role I think it's hard to grab such silicon paste even though I doubt the voltmeter readings 4.7v is too much of u can get from small plate like that one showen in da vid

I mean obviously the longevity would be limited as its a DIY project but I just need it to last for my project.

    Hey man, Great and informative Video. I want to make a solar panel for my UA-cam Channel as well and have some questions. (I'll give you credit of course). The crystal silicone paste you use, can I use normal silicone? Or does it need to be the paste? If so do you know where I can get it? Also I see you measured off a 4inch/2.5inch copper plate. Is there any limitations to the size of the copper plate can be? Or can I make a super long one? That would probably produce a larger voltage? And how long did you place the copper in the ferric chloride solution?

    • @Lazydayyt
      @Lazydayyt  2 роки тому +34

      It is Silicon paste not regular Silicone. I bought it from ebay few years ago before pandemic but now the seller is no longer available. The size of the plate does not matter. It's the surface area and arrangement. 10 min of shaking is enough for etching process.

      Only knowing how many volts won't let us determine how many amps it is, but it probably isn't a lot in this application. Still, the ability and knowledge of how to make one is very valuable information and the process can always be refined; smaller bars (Idk what they are called but those alternating silver and copper bars) would help produce more electricity, along with more space

      It's the Solar Photovoltaic effect. Basically Photons are absorbed and leave behind a electron that binds to a atom creating DC current.

      Photons from the light hit free electrons in the tin, which then eject over into the positive side of the electrical circuit causing an electrical flow
