If anyone has idea or any experience of doing this kindly advise - is there any IC which could step up 200 mV ~ 500 mV up to 3 volt ~ 5 volt. Which manufacturer and IC model can do this in the highest efficiency?
How many amps of current does the 200-500 mV source supply?If anyone has idea or any experience of doing this kindly advise - is there any IC which could step up 200 mV ~ 500 mV up to 3 volt ~ 5 volt. Which manufacturer and IC model can do this in the highest efficiency?
So, the voltage of a chemical reaction is not useful until you assemble and segregate the two half-cell reactions to force the RedOx electrons through the wires and the salt bridge (or what ever your setup is).I would like to experiment amplifying small voltage like 200 mV to 500 mV produce by chemical reaction and see how efficient it can generate decent amount of voltage to light up LEDs or bulbs
This is interesting thank you mrchips...although they are quite pricy
U mentioned about surface area which one should be larger area positive or negativeSo, the voltage of a chemical reaction is not useful until you assemble and segregate the two half-cell reactions to force the RedOx electrons through the wires and the salt bridge (or what ever your setup is).
To get higher voltages from a chemical reaction, you need to put multiple cells in series, like the lead acid battery of a car. They get 12V by putting 6 lead acid cells in series.
The surface area of the electrodes, carrying capacity of the electrolyte will determine the current. What reaction are you considering that is only a few hundred millivolts?
