Great info

From Russ

Great list of information. That batteries on concrete article is funny. Never good to put metal batteries on wet concrete.

List of Other (Nickel based battery info_

This is one of the best lists that I have ever come across. I am always looking for more info on Edison Batteries. Please look at my archive so far (have 1914 manual in print, need to scan). Please send any feedback, more info you have. Thanks so much!!!

Does anyone have a link that explains NiFe batteries (and, ideally, how to build one?)

Have a look at Edison's original patent :

Nice gathering of info

Only about 2 of the original links still work.

With a little searching I got 3 of the others to work.


Just an fyi

Thanks Bruce. The internet never forgets anything, it just keeps moving it around. I'd not been to this page for a long time, thanks the the updates. Mike

Bruce's post went to the Unapproved folder due to the number of web links. I approved it for all to see.
