    Using only vinegar and a few simple materials it is possible to construct a working battery. This video explains how to construct, and use, a battery like this to power a calculator. A good science project as part of an introductory electricity course. This project can be used as a science fair project.

    Connect more batteries (cells) in parallel.

    I was explaining what the difference would be if you used an ocean of vinegar instead of a jar. The ocean wouldn't make the cell/battery any stronger, but it would make it last longer.

    I just picture myself in school
    do you have a battery , Ahh no don't worry i got my vinegar Jars & bunch of nails
    thats totally awesome
    i like those experiment
    GOOD JOB!!!! i want more!

    I don't know about power but I think it has something to do with current vs voltage.

    Okay, 2 vinigar batteries are able to power a Caculator. So homemade batteries are able to power an electronic device other than a light bulb.

    awesome video! Someone please test out how long does the vinegar battery last for?? maybe forever?? please post if anyone has tested this out... thank you!

    Using electric potentials, you can calculate which electrode is + and which is -.

  • @flaminzblaze

    do u need the same two metals in both batteries in order to join them? like joining a regular battery and the vinegar one?

  • @cryvsspy
    @cryvsspy 17 лет назад

    How much vinegar will determine how long it lasts, and the rate at which the voltage will drop as the concentration of reactants (yes the acidity (H+ ions)) decreases during operation. Larger volume will equal slower concentration decrease.

  • @spazitude80
    @spazitude80 17 лет назад

    does it matter how much viniger there is in the jar? Also how does a battery lose its energy what happens? Does it just lose its acidity or something?

  • @firedude201234
    @firedude201234 14 лет назад +2

    any acid or alkaline will work

  • @LMF5000
    @LMF5000 17 лет назад

    depends on how much current you're drawing from it - the higher the current draw, the less it will last

  • @Hadra568
    @Hadra568 15 лет назад

    Did the battery lose strength (from .984 to .89 volts) just due to evaporation?

    It's good to see something like this on youtube, but I suspect that it appeals to those of us who are already geeky enough to search it out for ourselves.

    how would u increase the current with the vinegar battery?

  • @funkymunky8787
    @funkymunky8787 17 лет назад

    Obviously doesnt last forever. The battery is basically oxidation and reduction. After the metal has been reduced or oxidized (copper and zinc), the battery stops working.

  • @LMF5000
    @LMF5000 17 лет назад

    erm, by "electrolyte" I meant the acid in the vinegar. If you allow the battery to run for some time, you'll notice that the one of the electrodes will dissolve, and the vinegar will lose its acidity.

  • @g2g144
    @g2g144 16 лет назад

    its just the 2 metals, and the acid from the vinager creating the volt.....its REALLY hard to explain

  • @LMF5000
    @LMF5000 17 лет назад

    it can't possibly last forever... as curent is drawn from the battery, the electrolyte gets depleted. When there's no more dissolved electrolyte, the battery won't supply current any longer.

  • @firedude201234
    @firedude201234 15 лет назад

    well in a lead acid battery the sufuric acid inside turns to water as it goes through the chemical reactions of creating electricity and when you charge the battery you reverse the reaction creating sulfuric acid
