Increasing Electrical Power Output Of An Energy Source

Techniques for increasing an atomic surface area of contact surfaces of an energy source to cause the energy source to increase its energy output are disclosed. An energy source includes first and second contact surfaces, where these contact surfaces are structured to facilitate energy transfer between the energy source and a receiving unit. The contact surfaces each have a first surface area state with a first amount of atomic surface area. A process is applied to the contact surfaces to change the first surface area state to a second surface area state. The second surface area state has a second amount of atomic surface area which is more than the first amount of atomic surface area. The applied process may include applying a current or applying a short to the contact surfaces.
