We drill through coinage all the time here in the States. Who will know when the battery is glued together? I am experimenting with the larger pill bottles available from my local pharmacy to build higher capacity batteries that are rechargeable and CHEAP. I ran a loop close to the power lines to get about 18 volts through a full wave bridge rectifier, and a buck- boost circuit to charge them all. So it costs nothing to recharge them. I also ran a small mesh wire screen behind the newer power meter to shield me from broadband over power lines interferences. The power company complained, but there is no law that says I cannot do this so they are stuck with it. As long as it doesn't touch the meter or the drop line, there is nothing they can do. I got so tired of the nasty harmonics that BPL caused, I installed the mesh shield as a self defence measure. Great video!
The problem with people who dont understand electronics making batteries is that they never measure the internal resistance and the current, which renders the battery useless. It's not just the voltage thats important. If the internal resistance is too large you wont be able to power anything.
I think... if you solder all the zinc washers together and then solder all the coppers together, you can then keep them immersed in electrolyte (using your waterproof container) to get more amperage, but lower voltage of course. Chain 10 together to get perhaps 10-12 volts? at the higher amperage. Lemon juice might be a better electrolyte. You might be able to charge it up when it runs down. (you will prob want to put cardboard or plastic mesh in between every part of it ? ) Did you ever get a reading on amps output ? Watts = V x Amps.
Hello very nice videos your are making Is there a possibility to make a video for making a really battery for use in photovoltaic (of grid situations) With a very big capacity? The dimensions and the weight it is not at all critical or problem there's on lot of space Thank you very much for your time
"because here in Britain we have rules of personal freedom similar to communist china" I am a proud brit and am in no way insulting anyone, just thought this was funny.
Great video 👍🏻 quick question though, I always thought that batteries were just a way to store electricity, and if I’m right the battery shown in this video is giving out a voltage/ electric current, is that because of the electrolytes in the paper? or am I just really confused? 😅
Batteries store chemical energy and it's the reaction of these chemicals that produces the electricity (they swap electrons). Electrolytes allow the electrons to pass from one chemical to the other (the elecricity bit). Hope that helps. :)
@@GoRepairs i know this might sound really stupid but i'm very curious about it, are the chemicals always producing electricity, and if so is it "going to waste" when not being used?
@@firenagy8831 Yes the chemicals are still reacting once the battery is assembled, whether you use it or not. The reaction just lessens over time, as in this case, the metals oxidise and the paper dries out. Waste is a subjective term, but if you are worried about that then with my design you could just disaassemble it to stop it reacting and reassemble when required. Hope that helps. :)
Hey I loved your video. I built one as you instructed here in the video. I used 12 cells in series and produced almost 10 volt. But I couldn't run a toy car motor with this voltage ,it would be a great help if you could suggest me what should I do more to run a small motor. Thank you in advance.
What if you fill the tube with electrolytes? Will it ever run out, like do the electrolytes get used up (other than the drying out)? Can it be recharged?
the battery largerly depends on the paper or cardboard being damp with electrolytes. once it dries out the battery is no longer usable for a temporary period until you change the paper.
Greetings Northern Chappy. Most interesting video - I am after a way of making voltage when at sea in a small boat - lots of electrolyte all around. Any ideas for a longer lasting than cardboard disk? What happens if you put several of the electrolyte-soaked disks together to hold more? May I suggest that you speak a tad slower for the foreign johnnies who aren't familiar with your speechstyle? But ta, good video.
Depends what you mean by better? If you want a stronger reaction then use a stronger acid, if you want it to last longer, then you'd have to test which of the two lasts longer.
Not saying I condone melting coins, but if one were to do this and lived in the U.S. then you want to pay attention to the year of your penny. They aren't all copper after 1982, just a small amount.
You clean the zinc washers to get rid of their oxide then add more acid/salt water to the paper/card board. You can keep this up till the zinc washer is worn out
Make a car battery out of allium then do in series.. It's a 13 volt battery should start a car..running a small fan it's been running for a hr down to 6.30 volts..so a 12 volt battery becomes a 6 go green people and 3%

You could also do it with Brawndo (sports drink)
Brawndo's got electrolytes, brawndo has what plants crave.
Cause Brawdos got lectralites.

The problem with people who dont understand electronics making batteries is that they never measure the internal resistance and the current, which renders the battery useless. It's not just the voltage thats important. If the internal resistance is too large you wont be able to power anything.
@Paulo Constantino - Exactly.
Yes, it's annoying when they don't show the current or resistance.
Exactly, like who wants a battery that has 3 volts but produces for example 0.1mA
Exactly the kind of comment I like.
Please kindly tell me how to solve that
Thank you

This video was so Informative, thank you!
I'm glad you liked it.
Can it be recharged, thanks for the innovative lecture
Love the video
Is this kind of battery rechargeable?
no
Defiantly is
sweet return of the how to videos!
:)
this was very good and gets me and others thinking about this stuff
superb very nice. its Amazing ideas thanks bro

Like the use of the PVC
What's the proper chemical balance for battery fluid?
Are they coated or soild copper/zinc?
What’s the ingredient? Looked for a part 2 but didn’t find it.
Brilliant. Thank you.
How many Volts did you get?
Which electrolyte u have used??

use 100 dollar paper
Buy a battery
You could make multiple battery packs and run them in parallel, that will keep your voltage the same and deliver more drive
@@robertoseaturdl6104 drive? Current.
@@Nekuzir surely thats what he means
how do you keep it small but get more voltage out of it?
What if you fill the tube with electrolytes?
Will it ever run out, like do the electrolytes get used up (other than the drying out)?
Can it be recharged?
JSanchez ElOnce yeah the zinc Washer oxidises? Idk the spelling
Bluecatdk oxidizes close enough lol
can u charge it?
Can I increase the votage?
does the battery work? you should connect it to something and show the power discharge in a time lapse.
There might be a good voltage, but probably not a good current.
What is the long part with teeth in the middle ??
Can it be charge?
Is this battery rechargeable? what do mean by using the battery over and over again?
No.
How long can it last
It did not work.
Did i do something wrong or i have to charge it first?
can you use thinner washers?
Good to get concept but useless.. get good volts but bad current and even volts drops by time very quickly..
informative video
How do you know which is positive and negative?
Zinc is the anode or positive and copper is cathode or negative.
Can this battery be charged with a steam turbine?
the battery largerly depends on the paper or cardboard being damp with electrolytes. once it dries out the battery is no longer usable for a temporary period until you change the paper.
Breaking bad anyone 😆
Shit

Haha same!! Let me know what you find. I discovered adding FSI to the salt water gets rid of the excess water for more storage
ya see in America you get shot r holding something like that
Yeah, but if this cannot really power anything for long enough, then it's basically useless. What all have you tested it on?
how much life did you get from it
anazing ; tnx 👍
Can I charge it
How long does the copper "washers"/coins last ?
forever until you grow old
Do you mean the metal or the battery?
pc7zz 1. The water in the electrolyte is ripped into hydrogen and oxygen. 2. The zinc gets oxidised
Is lemon juice a better electrolyte?
Depends what you mean by better? If you want a stronger reaction then use a stronger acid, if you want it to last longer, then you'd have to test which of the two lasts longer.
@@GoRepairs oh i see, do you have any recommendation on an electrolyte that is powerful, lasts long and is not expensive? Or there isn't such thing?
I wouldn't recommend anything more powerful than the vinegar and lemon juice we've mentioned unless you know what you are doing.
I always forget how to make something
really fast
Is it chargeable
No
Yes. Just add more electrolytes
@@dantakeoff how? More salt water?
@@harrisonmarszalek6031 Its not like theres a shortage of salts water:}

Can it run a motor
yes it can run a motorcycle
yes, 3 volts can run a moter
@@danagage7009 hahaha
Don't forget you can put your weed in there too !!!
Is it rechargable?
No.
Can you charge these batteries? And if you can, how would you?
You clean the zinc washers to get rid of their oxide then add more acid/salt water to the paper/card board. You can keep this up till the zinc washer is worn out
Voltage is meaningless. How much of mAh it can provide? if its output is ~3mA at 3.5V, then you'd need 10 of these batteries just to power one LED.
Add penny battery super capacitor to small hho generator portable small torch.
What happens if the paper dehydrates??
pee on it
The battery will lose efficiency and may stop working (can be resolved by adding electrolyte again).
u can make any size battery with baking soda water and vinegar. good luck in trying to figure it out.
defacing coins is also illegal in the U.S. stupidly enough
Should i make 100 dollar for 50 volts?
