Thanks for your thoughtful comments. It is silent so no noise. I did request just such a nice brass plate from the museum curator, not sure he has done it.
Your are right about two battery packs. The little ball picks up electrons when it hits one bell, is electrostatically repelled because of like charges, and is electrostatically attracted to the other bell because of opposite charges. It then delivers its electrons to the other bell and the cycle repeats. Not much different from a computer boat picking up and discharging passengers.
Marius Loubeeka had this to say about the subject: The reason why this battery lasted this long is the very low current. 176 years x 365 days x 24 hours x 1 nanoamp = 1.54 milliampere-hours - that's nearly nothing. A modern phone battery (3 ampere-hours) would run over 342,000 years if the current consumption was only this low. But what really is remarkable is that this battery seems to have very little self-discharge. The alkaline batteries I bought the other day have an expiration date of 2021. Then their capacity is only at 80% even if they've never been used. That makes a self-discharge current of already 13.7 microamps - Though this capacity might even be sufficient to deliver an extra 1 nanoamp for a bell for several years.
Hi everyone. I have fixed the broken link to my Zamboni Research Project.

@@thomasplummer7523 thank you. I'll have a read of that. It's amazing how little power must be consumed/lost over such a long time; today's batteries don't last so long even if they're not connected to anything. 😀

Nicely done, but the gap between the bells & the ball appears to be much larger than the one at Oxford. See here: ruclips.net/video/1Dx1-f8xQio/видео.html Given that your gap is larger, it's likely going to use more energy & not run as long--but then that's hard to say for certain because we don't know how you constructed your battery piles.
Image my disappointment when I visited Oxford on a Sunday and the doors of the Clarendon Laboratory were locked so I did not get to see the Electric Bell. My niece later filmed it and sent it to me.

What are the other two longest running experiments?
I think the pitch drop experiment is one of them.
Pitch drop and the Beverly clock according to Wikipedia and the rabbit hole that lead me to this RUclips video 😂
Just watch the pitch drop and wait for it to fall.
looks like coil shorting in between 2 battery packs that produces back emf to recharge each pack as the oscillator runs

@@thomasplummer7523 the packs discharge and recharge each other like some kind of teeter totter😺👍
That's amazing

I don't know, if you address your question to the Spark Museum in Bellingham WA they may tell you.

Very good - how did you know how to make the battery, when nobody seems to know what it's made of?
He made a battery with the typical materials of the era
I may make the research available again since you seem to have an interest.
You can try this with a good quality aa batteery might last several years😂😂😂

It's been a year.
It's the bell still ringing?
I don't know. You may ask the Spark Museum people in Bellingham WA where the replica has resided for years.
Superb! Is it still working?
Thanks for your kind words. I don't know, if you address your question to the Spark Museum in Bellingham WA they may tell you.
Hi I'm curious to know, did it stop? Or is it still working?

hello, any updates
For about how long has this "Replica" been going, so far?*
Is it still working?
I don't know. You may ask the Spark Museum people in Bellingham WA where the replica has resided for years.
Awesome!
Thanks
Is it still working , how much to buy one or you got instructions thanks
