Or just people who know about electrical currents.
O.K.
Let's say I have an anode and a diode whose battery source is providing an electrical current between both the anode and the diode.
Now, I have a glycerin solution applied to the electrostatic anode and diode, whose material is comprised mainly of an iron polymer whose circuit completes when passed through an object.
What basic, basic, basic home appliance-type material could I use to amplify the current strength (about ~5-6 mAmps, dunno voltage) when placed on the anode and/or diode end (in direct contact with the glycerin(aq) + iron polymer end(s)?
Thank joo.

An old fashioned copper penny.

Er, and the anode and diode are both circular whose diameter ≈ half a centimeter.
Any amplification source has to be no greater than a centimeter in any length (the thickness shouldn't be more than a couple mm.)

Huh. It's been a LONG time since we made batteries in physics class, heh. But last I heard, it's copper that you do all that stuff with. We used pennies. If you feel copper is appropriate, you could try just a tiny snip of some piping you probably have laying around in your basement. If you need just a tiny itty bitty fraction of a fragment, you can even ask any makeup wearing female in the house for a little scrape of bronzing powder. It usually contains traces of copper and mica.

I'm trying to pimp out a cranial electrostimulation device.
This is sort of a rough copy of my intended research on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranial_electrotherapy_stimulation

Sometimes you people really scare me.
If anyone is going to invent time travel, it's Stan. Money on it.

Just be honest for once Stanley.. you aren't getting the results you wanted, so you are trying to pimp out your pump.
Read the small print.. it never promises to make something out of nothing.
