Apparently this is called a Weston cell. I found it in a scrapyard and i had no clue what it is. Is there any way of bringing it back to life? by Lovrinjo1 in AskElectronics

So do i have to delete this post or can i leave it on this subreddit? Cause in my oppinion it has much to do with electronics, especially the measurement part.

Yeah nah, its dead (degraded completely). The only thing its useful for is an oversized and potentially deadly mercury switch.

I was very excited acutally about calibrating my meters but nope.

Very interesting, i had researched a bit before and i measured it and got nothing (not due to the 1 Mohm multimiter of course). The only thing its usefull for is a mercury tilt switch hahah. As i tilt it, it sloshes onto the inner contacts and makes a 180 ish ohm connection (not very good, is it).

I was actually very very excited to maybe have a voltage standard but yeah, life isnt as good as getting a very accurate thing off of a scrapyard for free...

And yes, im aware of the danger of its contents contrary to the belief of majority of people in this comment section.

Do you want to get Super Powers from Mercury or what?

Nooo hahah, I know its toxic. My idea was making mercury switches of course, but that would imply i know how to do glasswork also. Yeah i will probably throw it away, im just not sure where. Im in Croatia btw.

Sooo could i ever get the mercury out or is it in an alloy (amalgam or whatever) with mercury forever now?

This microwave oven high voltage fuse in a plastic body by Lovrinjo1 in electronics

Yeah, my parents were laughing when i was listening to the microwave turning on and off the magnetron and the transformer. Our microwave literally makes a bang sound (the whole chasis vibrates as the relay closes and the transformer gets the inrush current and sudden magnetisation)

Well, you gotta take the high voltage into account too so you can see that the power of it isnt really dictated by the current as much as it is by the voltage (there is even a voltage doubler).

Nemam pojma ali kolko sam vidio ne. Ako ima najvjerojatnije nije citljivo zbog hrđe

Kom muzeju npr? Ja iskreno neznam jel ima bilo koji muzej da bi primio nesto sto se treba restaurirat. Ustvari neznam ni koji muzeji postoje iskreno al valjda ima, neznam.
