*Sigh* If only Douglas N, Adams wise still alive today to see this video. He would truly see the hilarious yet ironically true science to this.

Short answer: No. Longer answer: Potential is not area dependent, current is. Multiply area by ten, voltage stays the same while current gets multiplied by 10 (theoretically). This is not an economically viable way to make solar cells, and most definitely not a marketable product. Sorry. Longer answer sent via private message.

Hey caudex, I was wondering, I can find Ti02 on ebay in bulk. It is pure Ti02 for very cheap. Would I be able to buy that and use it in the same manner you did here? Also, just that little tiny cell produced .5v? I have seen commercial cells that are about 6” long and 4” wide that can only produce .5v. How can this very small piece produce as much as one that is much larger? I really love science and would love to do this at home and make a business off of it to make money.
Great video…I …
Great video…I converted my home to a net-zero solar powered home that uses no oil or gas…I made a video about it called, “Preparing for Peak Oil”….

Doubt: If I get “pure” TiO2 (buying it, not getting it out of the donuts) I still need to do the first 4 steps? Thanks and awesome work!!

I just wanted to say I got in touch with Mr. Reidy to purchase a small quantity of glass for some experiments and he was EXTREMELY helpful. If you’re looking for glass like I was, don’t waste time, just call this guy.

ohh okay just wondering. can this maybe power some appliances like a blender or something? or only LEDs?
