The following report and test results are being presented on social media first. This will allow for more detailed testing as the following tests were run under semi-controlled conditions. Once information presented is verified, then it does indicate that a new theory is needed to explain the results.
An important question in Physics is WHY. All the great Physicists in the past have come up with a detailed descriptions explaining how photons work but it remains to be seen if there is a better explanation as to why. For example, why do photons, electricity signals and neutrinos travel at “C”? Why does the energy produce by Alkaline “D” batteries not equal to the results predicted by Einstein’s equation? Why do recharged “D” batteries weigh less than when the battery is depleted? Why do electricity signals travel at nearly” C.” Why do photons exhibit characteristic of a particle? Is there an explanation of why does the Faraday’s paradox exist? All these are interesting questions that need to be answered. If these results are verified, then I believe that there is a verifiable theory to explain these results.
Check out the table below which summarizes a few tests run on batteries and a capacitor.
Contrary to Einstein’s equation and ChatGPT, experimental measurements show the weight of “D” Batteries changes “significantly” when discharged! But not in the way you might expect. Attached is the measured data from experiments from 3 different types of batteries, made by 4 different companies. These measurements were made using a US Solid Analytical Balance, USS-DBS8. The scale was 0.0001 g, with a repeatability of +- 0.0002 g. and a linearity of +- 0.0003g. All samples were measured and corrected against an unused control battery all at the same temperature.
The first is 10 measurements shown on the data below were of the change in weight from new Alkaline batteries to those batteries being weighed after discharge. According to accepted theory, there should be a slight but not measurable change in weight. What was found was the weight decreased in 8 of 10 samples with the average change being 1.08 mg in the depleted samples. There are 3 possible reasons for this decrease in weight. One would be that in the chemical reaction both the mass of Zinc and Magnesium are consumed and this would reduce the weight. Second, the Potassium Hydroxide would react with the produced water, so that some Hydrogen gas is produced which would give an apparent weight loss. Lastly, we need a new explanation for electric current flow.
If the value for this weight loss is used to calculate a corrected equation to determine the energy generated, ChatGPT indicated that the equation would be in the area of E=M*10.8J. Most of the change in weight was probably due to chemical reactions required to release electrons due the work of running the fan.
The real surprise came when testing 2 different types of rechargeable batteries. The two types of batteries tested were a NiMh and a Lithium Ion. There are number of unique situations that need explanation. If these results are verified, then a explanation for these changes need presented.
Looking at the data in Table A, the tests on the NiMh rechargeable batteries indicated the largest change in weight. The charged batteries had an average weight of 1.37 mg lighter than the same batteries after they were depleted. This result was repeated with each recharge of the batteries. An interesting side light was that if the batteries were allowed to sit the weight would increase close to the depleted weight. In addition, since the weight change was so small, the batteries were charged near the scale to ensure that the impact of the charge could be detected. While I am not a chemist by degree, I could not come up with a chemical explanation as to why these batteries would weigh less when charged. However, this did intrigue me as a Physicist to come up with an explanation. It also required me to see if the same changes occurred with a different type of rechargeable batteries.
At this point, the same test was run on Li ion batteries. They were charge and depleted just as the NiMh batteries. While the results were not as dramatic, the results were the same. In the case of Li ion, the depleted batteries were 0.47 mg heavier than the batteries when they were recharged.& Normally, it is anticipated that the depleted batteries should weigh less but not by a measurable amount. As with the NiMh batteries, all tests were run with either one or two control batteries that were all at the same temperature.
The next question that arose from these results was, if there is something that is causing the batteries to weigh less when charged. Should not we see the same results when charging and discharging capacitors. Table A shows the results from the charging and discharging a 2.7 V 500F capacitor. The results were similar to that of the Li ion batteries with a charged capacitor weighing 0.5 mg less than the discharged capacitor.
The big question then becomes WHY are we seeing these results. If these results are verified, and there turns out to be no chemical explanation for the changes then a new theory needs be developed to explain these results.
I have also done some tests on attempting to explain the Faraday paradox and to come up with a better explanation as to why electricity travels at near “C” but those will have to wait pending the verification of these results.
