    I seriously think you can call yourself an experimental scientist, this is real science down to the research
    I'm glad to have watched you blossom into a niche gold mine in real time
    When you make it big don't forget me your biggest fan! (I won't get delusionally attached in a parasocial way i swear but this is a genuine happy moment for me)

      I like your confidence. "If" I make it big I'll be sure to give you a shout out. There are very few people who have followed me from the beginning, and you're one of them. Really appreciate the support. Btw I'm working on a part two for this....I made it better hehehe.

      @MechanicGoneRogue ofc i appreciate them, they enforce what i stand for
      "The hardest part about science is getting over how intimidating it sounds" for the purpose of just doing something cool, make an air battery with "household" items
      And things are fine rn, just spent a day with someone i thought I completely lost forever, and on the science frontier an old but essential project of mine is bearing fruit! Unexplainable but very cool fruit
      So im alright

    Hi, other than teflon, another binder that is commonly used in electrodes is PVDF. Carbon black is also sometimes mixed into the cathode slurry.

    • @MechanicGoneRogue
      @MechanicGoneRogue  2 місяці тому

      Hi again @pixlrainbow. Great as always to hear from you. PVDF looks like it has alot of promise for this application. It's melting point is alot lower than Teflon. Have you ever working with it yourself? Any pointers you could give?

      @@MechanicGoneRogue I have not personally worked with it, but I have seen it referenced a lot in various research papers. Some use a heat press or hot roller directly on dry cathode powder without solvent, others use NMP solvent without a heat press and simply paint the cathode slurry onto current collectors and leave it to dry (with hot plate assistance).
      In this video you used PTFE with a solvent and active material to form a wet slurry and heat pressed it, however I have also observed PTFE being mixed with just water and then added in very small amounts to active material powder to form a dough-like cathode paste that is simply rolled out and left to dry.

      Carbon black is very conductive but graphene blows it out of the water and is easy to make.

    بحث وعمل رائع . شكرا ع جهودك . اسمحلي ان اعطيك معلومة نتيجة عن تجاربي الشخصية عندما تمزج ثاني اكسيد المنغنيز مع الكربون المنشط سيتحول الي قطب سالب . انصحك بدمج ثاني اكسيد المنغنيز مع الجرافيت لصناعة القطب الموجب . او تثبيتهم كلن بشكل انفرادي للقطب الموجب . واذا استخدمت ثاني اكسيد المنغيز انصح باستخدام الزنك او اكسيد الكادميوم بدلا من الالمنيوم تحياتي لك من اليمن .

      Hi there. Thanks for sharing from you're own experience. I've already tried this formula with graphite and am working on a follow-up video detailing my experience with it. I'll have to try your other suggestions at some point. Thank you for the comment. Cheers!

    Dude. Acetone styrofoam or plastic made into a liquid mix with graphene. Graphene can be doped with silver powder. It’s not easy but I take my powder graphene and silver powder and using a ceramic cup I torch the cup red hot. The silver and graphene are stored together. Silver gets in pores graphene. This enhances conductivity

    you should look into starlite recipe guesses where carbon compounds like PVA glue corn starch sugar ect are doped with a flux compound (at least some use it as flux like for smelting aluminum ect) of borax or boric acid ect, to keep it all from heavily oxidizing into gas (CO2) though they tend to add baking soda or something else that will release CO2 with out having external oxygen needed for a foaming method to exfoliate it to allow it to become a graphite based foam insulation to protect internal items, BUT in your case maybe switching to something else to avoid this process and all while maybe allowing the components to remain inside the graphite structure on burning or heating and evaporating off the hydrogen and oxygen ect in the carbon donors might be capable of being your needed remaining or injected components to facilitate the catalytic action on the aluminum
    Right now I am working on ways to undo this oxidation and have succeeded with red iron oxide being reduced back to pure iron metal bonded to the base it was done on using a 405nm UV laser of 500mW power level, and reducing white powdered TiO2 into the black and brown crystals of TiO2 and Ti2O3, so a method to pull the oxygen away via electrostatic charges is next on my testing list to attempt depositing much harder to deposit without interaction (oxygen based) of Ti and Al like you are using in the aluminum batteries :)

      I had to read up on starlite before responding. It's an approach I hadn't thought of previously, but it could have potential. I'll have to play around with it in the near future! Thank you for sharing you're experience with this! Cheers!

    Even tens of grams of Alu need hundreds of liters of air. Or in moles, 27 g Alu needs 24 g of oxygen. Then, a cell mass doubles. Which is not good either to compete with something to lifepo.
