Dad Scientist | Silicon electrolyte for The Magnesium Battery @ET2uscg | Uploaded July 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
In my quest to keep the magnesium from corroding, I tried putting sand and sodium silicate, table salt in water as the electrolyte. it has run the small motor for 2 days now. The current draw from the motor is about 18 ma, the unloaded voltage is as expected 1.5v.
