@@Vivelehive basically if you look in the periodic table of elements,youll see metals in different groups. Metals like to lose their valence electrons which is their outermost electrons to form cations. And generally metals at the bottom of a group lose their electrons more easily. Also as you go from group to group the metals lose their electrons less easily. Which is why group one metals react explosively with pretty much anything. Sodium and potassium literally explode in water. Go figure. For example when silver and zinc are used. Silver is in group 11 and zinc is in group 12. Silver is more likely to lose an electron than zinc. And thats exactly what happens.
Pretty cool, Dave! By the way, for those who didn't know, the word *battery* can be used to describe *an array of similar things* , which can be used for example to describe a group of similar artillery/cannons. After watching this video everyone can draw the conclusion that a battery is *an array of similar stacked cells* , but a lot of the batteries today are actually single cells instead.
@@dedchannel952 he show people how to make the battery so people can make their own battery its mean they can have free battery without buying battery from battery manufacture
I really wonder what goes through someones head when the dislike a video like this. How mad at the world do you have to be to thumbs down a cool science project lol
2 dissimilar metals and an acid...lemon juice works too. You can also revive a dead car battery with aspirin and distilled water. Great vid. Might actually do this just for the hell of it. Love home science projects.
+DaveHax what if you did more than 9 can you do more than 4 volts? and how long does this power last after the vinegar is gone from the cardboard pieces of paper?
That is extremely useful my stupid tv has no buttons on it so if the batteries in the remote die I cant use the tv. Now I can. I wonder how long it will last?
Your video was so much better than the instructions in Colin Iggulden's 'Dangerous Book for Boys'. Thanks...I was on the verge of giving up as I am not a scientist of any shape or form...I can now do this with my grandson...
I was very happy to find this youtube video-channel.I wished to thanks to your time for this glorious video!! I undoubtedly enjoying every little bit of it and Ive you bookmarked to take a look at new stuff you youtube channel post.
OMG IT ACTUALLY WORKS, EVER SINCE I THOUGHT BATTERIES CAN ONLY MADE WITH COMPLEX CHEMICALS IN A FACTORY, BUT LOOK AT THIS! Astounding, Dave. What you made is so amazing. Also is there actually a mAh tester. So I can test how long it'll probably last. Estimation.
+The Cantonese Guy i did tht my freind asked why i said i was to lazy to go buy batteries he said "but you will make your own fucking batteries" me "pretty much"
Geez nice way to make assumptions. I don't have kids, but I know of people who have had their kids spend their silver quarters and dimes when they did keep them in a safe place. It's a notice for parents to be careful if they have collectible coins in the house and decide to do this.
For some reason, our battery is only getting 2 volts and we got 5 volts just once in random. Our LED 1.2 volt led is not lighting up either although we have enough volts in the battery. We learned that it might be because of current, but how do we fix that? Thanks
+Erin Howarth The copper suffers a bit too, but not as fast as the aluminium like Donald said. So it will work for a while by just adding new acid and foil.
+Erin Howarth copper and aluminion will both slowly drain, you also have to dip the battery in vinegar ever so often, because the cardboard will dry out
How long will it last? Also a question: suppose you tape it somehow so good that vinegar won't be able to flow out of the battery - does this mean that this battery will never ever run out of power?
nah the vinegar will dry out eventually or corrode the metal enough to make it not conductive. vinegar is chemically known as acetic acid, it still is one of the weakest acids, but it still can corrode things over a long period of time.
infinite power generation is not possible. eventually the copper will corrode or be depleted and the batter will not produce as much voltage as it used to.
I'm curious the economy of power production versus electricity production methods. Like if someone wants to scrap enough and aluminum essentially getting the items for low to no-cost, could One supplement their power consumption with these on-site devices?
+daduncker2.0 Although it produces quite a high voltage, unfortunately it's not high amperage, so it doesn't have much power, it's ok for very small current draws though like an LED or a remote control.
+daduncker2.0 ,The 12v battery in your car does not "power the car",it simply powers the starter to turn over the engine.The alternator takes over from there.
If you make earths crust as your dielectric and electrolyte by nailing dissimilar metals into earth and then connecting them in series and parallel combination for good amount of volts and amps, you will have unlimited power since earth is a natural highly electrically charged capacitor powered by thousands of lightning bolts hitting earth everyday. Nikola Tesla was doing similar with his Tesla tower, taking electricity from the earth and discharging it in the form of lightning bolts from the top of Tesla tower.
Yes he did but he also got more energy out than he put in because he got it from inside the earth. Earth is a highly electrically charged capacitor. Ionosphere plasma is the positive terminal, air and earths crust is the dielectric and metals inside the earth is the negative terminal. Also there is more to Tesla towers than what's generally known, research electrical engineer Eric Dollard on it. Check videos: Eric Dollard - Longitudinal Energy (Scalar Waves - Mutual Induction - Wireless Transmission of DC) Eric Dollard - The Tesla-Marconi Wireless System Also youtube search "Birkeland Currents". Earth is electrically connected to the Sun and cosmos via birkeland currents.
That is why batteries are called "Pilhas" in portuguese which is the same word for "Stacks" which is actually pretty accurate because a battery is made from stacks of different materials
Eventually , all the mass from one side of the electrode will deposit on the other causing the current not to flow.Thus eventually your aluminum should deteriorate , the reaction occurring here is Al(s) -> Al3+(aq) +3e- E=1.68V Cu2+ +2e- -> Cu(s) E=+0.34 Overall Reaction: 2Al(s) +3Cu2+(aq) -> 2Al3+(aq) +3Cu(s) E=2.02v As you can see the aluminum will be used up and more copper will form.Thus this system wont be infinite instead it will be used up.From the standard reduction table we should have around 2.02 Volts per set i think he was using 5 sets and because of the inefficiency he was producing around 4 volts.
it really doesnt need to be copper, I dont think so. any two different metals in that solution will have the same reaction,Copper however is a terrific Conductor of Electricity.
It makes “cents” that the tv remote worked because he had 4 volts from his battery and the 2 AA batteries would make the remote run at 3 volts... 4 > 3
This actually makes sense. Overcharged metal ions separated by electrolytic solution with undercharged metal on the other side. Amazing
what do you mean by undercharged metal? the aluminum? do you think one could use other metals like lead to still make a battery like this?

If they are single cells, they are not batteries. Batteries are more than one cell stacked together.
The copper serves as electrodes, aluminium foil as terminals and the vinegar is the electrolyte, Amazing idea!!👏👏👏
Can aluminum foil be used as a replacement for zinc in this battery?

Eventually , all the mass from one side of the electrode will deposit on the other causing the current not to flow.Thus eventually your aluminum
should deteriorate , the reaction occurring here is
Al(s) -> Al3+(aq) +3e- E=1.68V
Cu2+ +2e- -> Cu(s) E=+0.34
Overall Reaction:
2Al(s) +3Cu2+(aq) -> 2Al3+(aq) +3Cu(s) E=2.02v
As you can see the aluminum will be used up and more copper will form.Thus this system wont be infinite instead it will be used up.From the standard reduction table we should have around 2.02 Volts per set i think he was using 5 sets and because of the inefficiency he was producing around 4 volts.
