LOL, EMF's are Electro Magnetic Frequencies which are emitted from power lines or anything electrical but you are right, EMF's are also supposedly emitted by disembodied spirits and it hadn't even entered my mind that those pesky ghosts are interfering with my experiments. LOL
If I uses this method to harvest electricity from fish tanks, will it affect the fishes?
Another idea is to harvest electricity from the water in the tank supplying flushing water to the toilet bowl. Every flush recharges the water battery tank.

I 1st saw this on metecafe from some foreign country. There was nothing like this on youtube so I duplicated his experiment with what I had around the house & since then, as I had hoped, people have duplicated & advanced upon this.
On April of 2011 Red River College of Applied Arts & Sciences in Canada contacted me asking if they may have non-exclusive rights to this video to add to their educational programs, I allowed them to use it. I see potential in this, I'm glad others find it interesting

And there are way too many variables here. You did not use protected cathodes or anodes, you used exposed copper wiring and PLATED ZINC! Zinc ions are rushing off of that and making the water electrolytic. Also, note experiments with current show that electrolysis occours even in pure water in the real world due to the Ka of water (water turns into its own ions in order to supplant the connection, albeit not so easily in the best controlled circumstances).
I appreciate your comments & desire to find practicality & full understanding through a controlled environment but there are those of us that as long as the incoming current is monetarily free then it has practical use. If we should find old wiring laying around, old disposable metal, zinc nails or whatever it may be to then produce otherwise expensive electrical current then I am all for that.
If these draw wasted EMFs, static electricity, etc then it has a use.
I first found this experiment on metacafe from a foreign country. I had not seen this on youtube so I posted my own experiment videos on youtube. I am limited on time, money & knowledge so I had hoped many others would see this video then expand upon the experiment & they did with success. A limited mind will see no practical application of this but creative minds will cleverly adapt this into something very useful & practical.
Later after the video I added salt but the readings were exactly the same as with just plain tap.
I also tried hooking up a battery charger to see if it could be charged like a battery but nothing I did increased voltage output other than adding more cells.
@FreeGlobalEnergy charging water has an incubation period, science recenlty found out that most charge put to water can be regained, i just had 1.08 volts on dry tubes from my cell, kinda strange.
@FreeGlobalEnergy Dude I really dont want to come off as condescending, I mean the pursuit of science is the most important cornerstone of human advancement and please do it, but this is not sound science. Tap water contains a huge amount of dissolved ions, especially chlorine. If you did research on this subject you would see that "voltage" is a unique concept. So is electric "current" and there are limitations in any setup. This is what you have encountered and it is in no way conclusive.
why are you using the metal strips from a computer..id like to try this experiment and see if i can power anything with enough of those water batteries and then test to see if the amount of water effects the longevity of the batteries.....also im tempted to test the water once its dead by some other means to see what happens..like give a plant only dead water...or drink it myself...tho that may not be the smartest choice,lol..so what is that metal.nickle,steel.is there something special about it
I tried to expose this blatant scam by revealing the content of the material by posting a video here and it was getting a lot of negative feedback from experts in the electronics field who bought the plans and it does not work but the copyright holder discovered my video and had youtube remove it which became a strike against my account. Some people post that here so I block those people & delete the advertising disguised as comments.
positive+negative+water=electricity. Make it easy and very good video. Problem is, add which chemical or element can make the power stronger, that finally we can get rid of the bills? :)
Sorry to be a dream buster but Solar, Wind or tapping into energies from the universe deplete industrial profits thus depleting taxes generated to run Federal & State Governments. I have explored the depths of the Corporations who are finely woven into government & I know that when solar or other free fuel energies become main stream then Corporations will add a satellite monitored meter to the solar panel or free energy device collecting profits & taxes from sunlight...
During these last elections it came out that a senator wrote a bill for congress to tax the wind. That's because taxes are lost with wind & solar as opposed to the mining operations for coal & uranium. Taxes are generated every step of the way from taxing the mining equipment, taxing employees income, taxing the sale of the coal & uranium to the power companies then taxing the sale of energy to the consumer. Wind & solar power cut out a lot of that constant taxable income.
The major loss of endless income & tax revenue unlike Coal energy or nuclear energy, the home owner can set up his own wind & solar as to where if I built a coal fired power plant in my back yard in the suburbs then I would be shut down immediately or what would be the reaction if I installed a uranium enrichment plant in my basement? Not going to happen, therefore wind & solar are a huge threat that corporations & government unless they can regulate it & constantly profit or tax it
One might feel self empowered to do what they want bypassing the meter or ignoring the law but I have watched technology unfold & the attitudes of the citizen. When cable tv was first laid in the ground nothing stopped people from running their own cable to get free tv. slowly a legal infrastructure was built to prosecute people stealing cable plus a technology to indicate cable theft. I know people who did that but don't dare today because they will get caught & go to jail.
Then came satellite tv, people figured out a way to capture those waves. One guy justified his actions saying, "they bombard me with those waves therefore I have a right to them", but the courts don't see it that way. People have created dishes to collect the waste EMF's off of power lines to run their house electric but the courts ruled the waste EMF's belong to the utility company & taking that is theft. All it takes is a law, therefore my dream of FREE electricity will never be.
In my home business I use large amounts of water, I won't apply for a business lic because then all they do is tax me more than they already do for excessive water usage. This triggered a letter from the water company who commented on my large water consumption & wanted to inspect my property for water leaks. I ignored the letter. When people suddenly drop power usage public service wants to replace the meter & eventually want to know why or how you suddenly decrease usage.
If you installed solar you might be violating some code. Windmills can violate code. I was told (hearsay) that in Denver it is illegal to collect water from your gutters. I read that in California it is illegal to collect used vegetable oil from restaurants for bio-Diesel unless you purchase an expensive lic & pay taxes on the amounts purchased. It's ALL about energy & collecting revenue from the sale of fuel & energy, We will never be allowed total self sufficiency
all some people whant to do is to experiment let them do that an do not gibber about that it is fun to watch and I like it to see it on youtube as an exp
It appears that this is a simple redox reaction between the zinc (or aluminum) and copper. It has no salt bridge so if the circuit was completed for a moment, a few electrons would flow and the voltage would reduce to zero immediately. If you heard anyone got a steady current from what is shown in this video, you heard wrong. This is not "free" energy, this is the same principle that operates our everyday 1.5 V batteries, the materials will eventually be consumed.
First I tried water straight from the faucet, later I added salt and it did not increase the voltage, a person might think it should and I thought it was odd that it did not increase voltage.
A person might try lemon juice as this was what was used in batteries 150yrs ago, batteries that still work to this day in museums.
1. No, More water does not increase voltage, in fact I could use far less water and get the same voltage. One man used plastic sipping straws with an element inside and water. Each one produced exactly my readings, that means that these can be made much smaller then add more cells for more power.
2. Some have been able to run a circuit with flashing LED's for several months.
I have been told that when current stops then replace water and current returns.
Look this does not work - its nothing new, I was doing this 30 years ago at school. Sure you can get a few volts, but you get no current. The cost of stringing enough of these together to create a standard AAA battery would be more than buying an entire pack of AAA cells. Result - FAIL
this energy is temprory you have to change the water & you can also charge it by using a water pump running by the cell power (Ex: get water from the glass & then back put it in to the glass) but this thing is so expensiv coz the cathode & annode cost more then genrated power cost if we genrate it form any other soruce
yes this is true i am aslo working on this project & i spend my life's 5 months on this
in your video i see this cell genrating voltage more then ahmp's if you make the cathode & anode more strong then you can get more ahmp's & make CA & AN as close as possible coz if they are close they genrate more ahmp's but this thing desincrease the voltage you can make more voltage by adding more cell in seris but in this video you can not light up only an LED
Or you can go the cheap route and forget about the PVC housing, just use straight cans with a simple plug drain; simply solder them good so they don't leak. Buy some long copper pipe and steal a bums' shopping cart full of aluminum soda cans then your well on your way.
It would be neat to make a PVC tap-water battery. Basically 24 aluminum soda cans (with tops and bottoms cut off) are soldered together 6' tall. Then a 6'+ long copper pipe is inserted in between. There is also a water drain and a valve that is part of the PVC pipe battery housing. A tap-water battery won't generate more than a few milliamps of current but dozens of 6' tall tap-water battery can probably do some useful work while lasting many years, with minimal cleaning maintenance.
Not free energy because the chemical reaction will eventually corrode the metals but if plain tap-water or rainwater is used, the reaction will occur extremely slowly. Of course the current produced is proportional to the acidity of the electrolyte.
I found plans on the internet that claim that straight tap-water or rainwater batteries made from soda cans and copper pipe can last several years. You only have to drain the water and clean the metal leads every 3 to 6 months or so.
On ym Multimeter I can set it for 20,000 ohms for testing Circuit Boards and when the 2 are connected I get a reading back as it is set to the most sensetive level. Ignore anyone who says its an earth battery because 1. An Earth battery need to be in the ground 1 foot then stretched the length of a bus and 2. The first test was on wood the most non conductable material there is. wat if power lines run beside the water mains heading to your house and your water is more Hydrogen than water??
Very interesting, but my meter does not do that on the settings I had it on. See my 2nd vid. What you say is not true in my case. I put the pc slot protectors in the ground & got the same reading as in the glass. I went to a country location where power lines are not underground but over head, then went far beyond that. Instead of thinking of every way this could not work how about just doing the tests yourself then get back to me on any factual findings.
You asked what if power lines running next to a water main turns water mostly hydrogen. I don't understand if this is related to the concept of the earth battery or if you changed the subject matter but either way that is an interesting concept. Have you done studies to show that this is possible?
Mostlikely the volt meter is finding it is connecting itself. Same as if you attach it to ground or any other conductor. Try it with a Analoge tester that has no batteries in it.
I would say the water and the glass as acting as a conductor / Resistor and by placing them in the same glass the meter is only getting small amount of the voltage back from the volts it itself is sending you. Ampl are what matter. Do a test with a non battery meter and test the amps. I too am looking at free energy
I already thought of that during the experiment and touched the volt meter wires to each other. Zero reading. And if you think about it, if a volt meter were to read it's own batteries then what use is it in testing anything?
One thing I point out are people's lack of imagination to see potential in expanding upon an idea. The first batteries known date back to 250 BC. That's a really long time to finally develop the modern battery on a mass scale. Alessandro Volta's first battery produced 1.1 Volts. Is it in order to say those batteries were useless or that they could not be expanded upon? The answer is obvious now that those earlier batteries have evolved into what they are now...
@FreeGlobalEnergy you can get the same energy you are making here out of a paper-clip and some coper Ethernet wire.
do this...
take a paper-clip, wrap it in some paper-towel, grab a foot of Ethernet (solid not stranded) and take one wire from it now wrap that around the paper-towel and be careful not to touch the paper-clip with the coper. get it wet and voilà, the same effect you are getting here in much less space. It's the simple concept that all batteries are made from.
You split up my 2 part comment but as I said below, the big difference is that this project comes precharged or somehow is creating it's own current unlike the AA battery. The question would then be how long would this device X400 continue to put out electricity
@FreeGlobalEnergy This will last until the metals corode, the charge comes from a chemical reaction caused by the two different metals. The corosion depends on how acidic the water is, more acid makes more power, but causes faster corosion.
Another water battery on youtube can run a circuit with a flashing LED. Is that so useless? Do you really need amps to trickle charge a battery or is a mere 7volts sufficient? the more "water cells" you add the more volts you get & just like adding more solar cells or more cells in a lead acid battery I believe with enough water cells it can duplicate the output of a lead acid battery. The difference here is this battery does not need charging. It already has a charge
This is just a battery. Impurities in the water make it act as an electrolyte and eventually it will run down just like any other battery. I fail to see how this is 'free energy'?
This depends upon your interpretation of the term "Free Energy" In 1800s Free Energy referred to radiant energy which does not defy physics. Around 1900s the meaning slowly changed to refer to created energy or energy from nowhere which does defy physics. Then there is the street term referring to Monetarily Free Energy so if I purchase a solar panel then the fuel to operate it is free of charge-Free Energy. If your metals & water are Monetarily Free then the energy is Monetarily Free
Furthermore the word "Free" is loosely termed &one needs to fully understand how the individual is using the term before getting into a heated discussion which I have both observed & been involved in.For instance a radio station announced a Free Gas card.FREE GAS, I love it. In my terminology the gas is free, it is energy therefore Free Energy to me, but anal individuals will argue it is not free at all due to the amount of energy used to create it yet I get it Free of Charge therefore it's Free
This explanation seems ridiculous to those hard nosed, closed minded, inside the box individuals but if you are going to communicate with those other than your direct peers then you must understand the different terminology in order to have a civilized conversation. There is the original term "Free Energy" created in the 1800s by scientists which is very different to the modern dictionary term that you use today, but there is a 3rd term the average Joe on the street uses.
This is some damn good shit here. My theory is that the main form of energy really needed in today's world, if not one of the three main important things for us to sustain life, is electricity. If all electricity was free, we had our own way to get free water and filter it, and could grow our own food (love meat, but not as important as grain, vegies, and fruit), then we would survive very easily without the need of work. I hope this Venus Project thing comes to fruition.
Ya um uh, not tryin to be mean here but thats resistance your reading. Not voltage. Sorry you have been mislead. Please stop clogging the internet with false hope.
With more glasses it will run a circuit with a flashing LED for months.
The same resistance flows through the ground or trees, multiplied people have run circuits or charged batteries. This is not anymore insignificant than a single lead acid battery cell or a single solar cell, the more you combine in series the more usable current exists.
Check 3:13 You can see it's Voltage (although I don't know if it's AC or DC) and the screen reads "V" wich hardly means "Ohms". Btw, this kind of battery is a typical experiment for a science class. Either with lemon, salty water or plain tap water.
I invented a breakthrough source of energy that contradicts the law of conservation of energy. I have a PROOF that there are electrodynamic phenomena that contradict the law of conservation of energy. I am looking for $6M for a prototype and patents.
Why didnt you change to amps. tells you more. for example if you have a AA battery fully charged and dead both read 1.5 volts but the amps are different. Amps is the flow of electrons past a point per second volts is based in formulas not an actual mesurement.
so the question is how much water do u really need...make the same thing but look into smaller pods of water...like a honey comb and see what happens...it would probaly end up looking like a transformer box...
The answer is only a small amount. I saw vid where these guys took straws, melted the bottom, filled it with water, put a zinc nail into it tied to a copper wire then melted the top like a sealed battery then combined many of them together & could run a circuit off of it. That was the most clever home made water battery I have seen to date
can you generate a large amount of power to power an electric motor to a river canoe? A river water can be a source, since a canoe is floating on it. How about sea water?
Good question. The largest body of water I tested this in was a bathtub & the quantity of water makes no difference in current but the more zinc & copper added increases current. I can envision a large array of these that you dip in the water from a boat & it produces current. That's an interesting idea. Weather I used tap water or added salt water did not change current reading in the experiment above.
Who knew a battery could be so simple, and what's interesting about this is that I never had to charge it, the current is just there. Although I wanted to see what would happen if I hooked up a battery charger to it and it did nothing. It does not charge the system like a lead acid battery, the current is there & only increases with more zinc plates & copper wires
... two metals are anodes. 1st tap was the bridge between the incompleted circuit. then the copper wire connected the two seperate anodes. &, the energy is from the + ions donating electrons to the other atoms in the other anode. As the electrons move around it creates energy we call "electricity"
What if you created some sort of flow of water, does the output increase?
The energy being collected is clearly by the moving molecules in the water.
Is there a certain body of water or does it not matter? because if its doesn't matter have you could try putting wind on a large and shallow body of water with the conductors at opposite ends.
Does temperature change the outcome or is it all just a chemical reaction of the copper and zinc within the water?
If chemical reaction it not a sustainable energy and when you look at the bigger picture of the mining, transportation, smelting and casting of the metals its probably not a viable source.
So unless you get your material from scrap it would be pointless.
This doesn't really need to be totally Free or Sustainable energy as a solar panel is free energy but it requires resources to build the device but this water battery only needs water, zinc & copper. More electrodes adds more voltage. Imagine having electricity when your EV batteries are dead, no more gasoline for hybrids & power grids down for months due to a disaster, natural or man made.
@FreeGlobalEnergy so how exactly then do we make a battery that can power something useful? I would like to see copper, and zinc.. then add water, and generate like 5.1 volts at 700Mah.. adding antioxidants found in nature can prolong the battery life and also increase conductivity.. the only thing needed is to replace the zinc every so often, which is basically free if you live in america. (computer parts, many electronics contain tons of zinc..) you can also find some copper for free.
@LiquidChem Just ran across you comment here. Do you have any more information on the antioxidants, I added tumeric to a hho cell, amps droped in half but production seemed the same as before.
To refer to this as a water battery is incorrect. This is an aluminum air battery. The energy is not supplied by the water but by the aluminum's reaction with the air. The water is simply the electrolyte. The aluminum is the anode and the copper is the cathode. The aluminum will eventually be consumed and the battery will cease to function.
no Aluminum. look at the video. He's using a pci back plate which is aluminum. Tin foil is also aluminum. There are also Zinc air batteries as well as Aluminum air batteries. Both work on similar priciples with the anode oxidzing with air.
Yes you could (though the Al would be the anode and the Cu would be the cathode). And yes it would be cheap but not entirely practical yet (there are companies working on this Al-air cell as well as zinc-air cells). Al-air and zinc-air have very high energy densities (around 1000Wh/kg) but are not rechargeable in a conventional sense as the reactive metal would need replacing. Shelf life is also a concern. I believe there is a youtube video on making an Al-air batteries using aluminum foil.
The PC slot protector looks like aluminum but it's not. A pop can or aluminum foil will not cling to a magnet yet the PC slot protector does cling to a magnet, it's clearly not pure aluminum, I was told it had zinc in it.
yes but zinc is also a diamagnetic (or non magnetic) material. For it to be attracted by a magnet, it would either be an aluminum alloy or zinc plated steel (some are made this way). Regardless of whether or not the material is zinc or aluminum both will function in the same manner for this experiment. A more encompassing term would be "metal-oxide battery". All metal oxide batteries function under the same principles.
I used to have a water clock with a LCD for the display. It gave readings for the time, month, day, and year. There were two chambers that were each dressed up to look like red fire hydrants. When the charge ran low the screen would fade out until it was no longer functioning. Simply replace the "old" water with fresh water and reset the clock and I was back in business.
The charge lasted a couple weeks or so. The metal poles eventually corroded & got stuck.
i appreciate with this experiment.. I m thinking to modify this project in another way,,
as we know electric VEHICLE is very effective in this age so if we modify this project with salt water with some other things which is very EASY & CHEAP to find then it might be a BEST idea..
how much amps do you have? remember voltage doesnt mean anything as to how much power your getting, its amps times volts. you amps could be 1uA or less making your overall power tiny and impractical
nots not completly free , the efect weres out, i dont realy remember much from my school chemestry class but i fink one of the metals is disapearing, if i remember its the zn so after some time it will just melt , and u will get more money from the metal shop for zn than u will get from this elecktrisity
The video is true if you know how batteries work - they need acid and 2 different types of metal, nothing really revolutionary about this video. You can try salted water, it will work better (better acid) or you can try lemons (they have acid too). The problem with this is, that even though there is almost 2V of voltage, the current you can get from it is veeeery small - enough to power a low voltage led, calculator etc. You won't be able to power an IBM-PC computer with that :).
i belove that this MAY be put into practicle use by making a circut containing capacitors nd voltage detector to charge up a small battery.yes, it will take time but who cares after all u r getting free energy out of water and some dirt cheap quantities of metal. But still ill not give it a try as i have my own dynamo :)
Totally impractical for any real effective power generation uses. There may be some nominal voltage, but this amount of current couldn't even make a useful light output from a low-intensity LED.
if you watch the video reply, adding enough glasses gives enough light to power an led or two led's in a circuit (like from a child's toy). I agree that it is not really practical for any large scale application but it can be used for some demonstrative work like lights.
It's a very inexpensive experiment to do if you already have a voltmeter.
I first saw this done in an Asian country on Metacafe, he used his tap water, I copied it and used tap water from Colorado in the US and got the same result as he did.
It seems that if the zinc deteriorates it would cease to function. The other question is very obvious since the water is is essential to it's function then if it would evaporate cease to function just as if your car battery were to vapor all it's water, you must replenish the water. But then in vid 2 the earth battery might be able to be multiplied but I never experimented beyond the video
I think approx 12V can make a bulb glow pretty bright enough....!! Why not we add more and more glasses in series make a radio work all the time....!!
Stick them in your mouth, and you will actually feel the current! (Srsly)
Anyway, I think you should look up what a Marx Generator is, and try it with this set-up. It will allow you to boost the voltage and amperes up, meaning, you could run circuits more easily.
How does copper + zinc + electrolyte = free energy? It's a copper-zinc battery. Nothing free there, except if the metals were free-as-in-beer for you. The metals are consumed, albeit slowly, and they are the "fuel" for this battery.
Sparks from dripping water is the same, the energy doesn't come from the water, it comes from the pumping of the water through the machine in a cycle.
The O²-Batteries are more interesting. They also have been around for a while (they are used in constant-enabled devices like in hearing aids) but the problem is that they are activated as soon as they get in touch with O²...
so if we were on a trip on mexico or whatever, and there were no electricity and you just then ran out of batter for your precious ipod or zune(which is 10 times better than an ipod), and there were several cups of water, and you just so happend to have some wires and zinc.... you get the idea :)
coolness, i last year took 8 plastic water bottles and did th esame thing...on water alone i was able to get 7.7 volts and .20MA.
I know its possible to get 3 volts and substantially MORE amperage if you throw some sea salt into a glass of distilled vinegar with a tablespoon of lemon juice...
Click on the video attachment then check with this guy. A long time ago I seem to remember him contacting me and saying 3 months and still going. Which means his water unit had run a circuit for 3 months and beyond, but check it out
i would suggest using distilled vinegar as the electrolyte. if you would like to calculate the voltage of any two materials look up a redox reaction table.
You mean Volta battery?...ok so if you still think that then try with two different pencils, then you will still have voltage and current, but it will not be a battery, it will be a generator without the consumption of any material. Much better if you use monocrystalline silicon and graphite. To connect more cells in series try with tin . Look for "Electricity from water" on facebook and you'll find my group ;-)
The same can be done with two or more containers of earth, or oranges or lemons. I wonder what kind of a system would one need to build in order to power something in your house to decrease your electric bill. Has anyone tried this? I will try it and will post a video on it. But let me know if anyone has any ideas on this.
You can also do this with a pie pan and some copper wire. Fill the pie pan with water place a paper towel in the bottom and set the copper wire on top of the paper towel in the water. Connect your alligator clips to the pie pan and the copper wire and you will get about a half a volt with 200 milliamps. I found that tin and copper make the best anode/cathode group. I think the electricity is coming from rust, because after about a month the voltage droped significantly but there was algae on it
The reason the "voltage" increases is because glasses are added in series which is equivalent to increasing the length in the equation "R" = con.A/L
So I suggest a thin copper wire for one electrode at least but for both probably better. The venturi priciple. ie: water flows faster in a thin pipe and slower in a thick pipe: garden hose, jet engine. Does it work in a dark room?
Suggested putting the zn cu in alternate series- one wire.
Try Cu-Zn alternations in 1 & other elctrde, 1 cup.
There needs to be a "Easy way" to step up DC Volt Amp Etc..
"Car Coil = Powers distributer ?
All you need is 12volts and 10 Amps and then slap a car inverter on it-> then you got 120V etc.. power a TV/Computer
I noticed that small items between the 2 wires get good results instead of full glasses...Cheese/earth/water/ maybe something else ? Thank you for posting :) Battery recharging it self & giving power :)
if you were picking up EMF, going to the country would not rectify this. EMF are emmitted from disembodied spirits.

This was helpful , I grabbed two full sized plastic folgers coffe containers.
I then filled them with tap water
I then used 6 by 2 inch square plate of copper as anode , I used pieces of 6 by 2 inch plates of zinc coated sheet metal as cathode.
when I used a piece of steal wire to join them I got only .6xx mv
when I used piece of coper wire and second plate like you show here I got 1.7 volts
by my calculations of I keep this up , I'll be off the power grid in 2012

I first found this experiment on metacafe from a foreign country. I had not seen this on youtube so I posted my own experiment videos on youtube. I am limited on time, money & knowledge so I had hoped many others would see this video then expand upon the experiment & they did with success. A limited mind will see no practical application of this but creative minds will cleverly adapt this into something very useful & practical.

@FreeGlobalEnergy Dude I really dont want to come off as condescending, I mean the pursuit of science is the most important cornerstone of human advancement and please do it, but this is not sound science. Tap water contains a huge amount of dissolved ions, especially chlorine. If you did research on this subject you would see that "voltage" is a unique concept. So is electric "current" and there are limitations in any setup. This is what you have encountered and it is in no way conclusive.

why are you using the metal strips from a computer..id like to try this experiment and see if i can power anything with enough of those water batteries and then test to see if the amount of water effects the longevity of the batteries.....also im tempted to test the water once its dead by some other means to see what happens..like give a plant only dead water...or drink it myself...tho that may not be the smartest choice,lol..so what is that metal.nickle,steel.is there something special about it

Sorry to be a dream buster but Solar, Wind or tapping into energies from the universe deplete industrial profits thus depleting taxes generated to run Federal & State Governments. I have explored the depths of the Corporations who are finely woven into government & I know that when solar or other free fuel energies become main stream then Corporations will add a satellite monitored meter to the solar panel or free energy device collecting profits & taxes from sunlight...

During these last elections it came out that a senator wrote a bill for congress to tax the wind. That's because taxes are lost with wind & solar as opposed to the mining operations for coal & uranium. Taxes are generated every step of the way from taxing the mining equipment, taxing employees income, taxing the sale of the coal & uranium to the power companies then taxing the sale of energy to the consumer. Wind & solar power cut out a lot of that constant taxable income.

The major loss of endless income & tax revenue unlike Coal energy or nuclear energy, the home owner can set up his own wind & solar as to where if I built a coal fired power plant in my back yard in the suburbs then I would be shut down immediately or what would be the reaction if I installed a uranium enrichment plant in my basement? Not going to happen, therefore wind & solar are a huge threat that corporations & government unless they can regulate it & constantly profit or tax it

One might feel self empowered to do what they want bypassing the meter or ignoring the law but I have watched technology unfold & the attitudes of the citizen. When cable tv was first laid in the ground nothing stopped people from running their own cable to get free tv. slowly a legal infrastructure was built to prosecute people stealing cable plus a technology to indicate cable theft. I know people who did that but don't dare today because they will get caught & go to jail.

Then came satellite tv, people figured out a way to capture those waves. One guy justified his actions saying, "they bombard me with those waves therefore I have a right to them", but the courts don't see it that way. People have created dishes to collect the waste EMF's off of power lines to run their house electric but the courts ruled the waste EMF's belong to the utility company & taking that is theft. All it takes is a law, therefore my dream of FREE electricity will never be.

In my home business I use large amounts of water, I won't apply for a business lic because then all they do is tax me more than they already do for excessive water usage. This triggered a letter from the water company who commented on my large water consumption & wanted to inspect my property for water leaks. I ignored the letter. When people suddenly drop power usage public service wants to replace the meter & eventually want to know why or how you suddenly decrease usage.

It appears that this is a simple redox reaction between the zinc (or aluminum) and copper. It has no salt bridge so if the circuit was completed for a moment, a few electrons would flow and the voltage would reduce to zero immediately. If you heard anyone got a steady current from what is shown in this video, you heard wrong. This is not "free" energy, this is the same principle that operates our everyday 1.5 V batteries, the materials will eventually be consumed.

Or you can go the cheap route and forget about the PVC housing, just use straight cans with a simple plug drain; simply solder them good so they don't leak. Buy some long copper pipe and steal a bums' shopping cart full of aluminum soda cans then your well on your way.
XaeroVincent 1 year ago
It would be neat to make a PVC tap-water battery. Basically 24 aluminum soda cans (with tops and bottoms cut off) are soldered together 6' tall. Then a 6'+ long copper pipe is inserted in between. There is also a water drain and a valve that is part of the PVC pipe battery housing. A tap-water battery won't generate more than a few milliamps of current but dozens of 6' tall tap-water battery can probably do some useful work while lasting many years, with minimal cleaning maintenance.
XaeroVincent 1 year ago
Not free energy because the chemical reaction will eventually corrode the metals but if plain tap-water or rainwater is used, the reaction will occur extremely slowly. Of course the current produced is proportional to the acidity of the electrolyte.
I found plans on the internet that claim that straight tap-water or rainwater batteries made from soda cans and copper pipe can last several years. You only have to drain the water and clean the metal leads every 3 to 6 months or so.

Very interesting, but my meter does not do that on the settings I had it on. See my 2nd vid. What you say is not true in my case. I put the pc slot protectors in the ground & got the same reading as in the glass. I went to a country location where power lines are not underground but over head, then went far beyond that. Instead of thinking of every way this could not work how about just doing the tests yourself then get back to me on any factual findings.

You asked what if power lines running next to a water main turns water mostly hydrogen. I don't understand if this is related to the concept of the earth battery or if you changed the subject matter but either way that is an interesting concept. Have you done studies to show that this is possible?
FreeGlobalEnergy 1 year ago
Mostlikely the volt meter is finding it is connecting itself. Same as if you attach it to ground or any other conductor. Try it with a Analoge tester that has no batteries in it.
I would say the water and the glass as acting as a conductor / Resistor and by placing them in the same glass the meter is only getting small amount of the voltage back from the volts it itself is sending you. Ampl are what matter. Do a test with a non battery meter and test the amps. I too am looking at free energy

One thing I point out are people's lack of imagination to see potential in expanding upon an idea. The first batteries known date back to 250 BC. That's a really long time to finally develop the modern battery on a mass scale. Alessandro Volta's first battery produced 1.1 Volts. Is it in order to say those batteries were useless or that they could not be expanded upon? The answer is obvious now that those earlier batteries have evolved into what they are now...

@FreeGlobalEnergy you can get the same energy you are making here out of a paper-clip and some coper Ethernet wire.
do this...
take a paper-clip, wrap it in some paper-towel, grab a foot of Ethernet (solid not stranded) and take one wire from it now wrap that around the paper-towel and be careful not to touch the paper-clip with the coper. get it wet and voilà, the same effect you are getting here in much less space. It's the simple concept that all batteries are made from.

Another water battery on youtube can run a circuit with a flashing LED. Is that so useless? Do you really need amps to trickle charge a battery or is a mere 7volts sufficient? the more "water cells" you add the more volts you get & just like adding more solar cells or more cells in a lead acid battery I believe with enough water cells it can duplicate the output of a lead acid battery. The difference here is this battery does not need charging. It already has a charge

This depends upon your interpretation of the term "Free Energy" In 1800s Free Energy referred to radiant energy which does not defy physics. Around 1900s the meaning slowly changed to refer to created energy or energy from nowhere which does defy physics. Then there is the street term referring to Monetarily Free Energy so if I purchase a solar panel then the fuel to operate it is free of charge-Free Energy. If your metals & water are Monetarily Free then the energy is Monetarily Free
FreeGlobalEnergy 1 year ago 2
Furthermore the word "Free" is loosely termed &one needs to fully understand how the individual is using the term before getting into a heated discussion which I have both observed & been involved in.For instance a radio station announced a Free Gas card.FREE GAS, I love it. In my terminology the gas is free, it is energy therefore Free Energy to me, but anal individuals will argue it is not free at all due to the amount of energy used to create it yet I get it Free of Charge therefore it's Free

This explanation seems ridiculous to those hard nosed, closed minded, inside the box individuals but if you are going to communicate with those other than your direct peers then you must understand the different terminology in order to have a civilized conversation. There is the original term "Free Energy" created in the 1800s by scientists which is very different to the modern dictionary term that you use today, but there is a 3rd term the average Joe on the street uses.

Good question. The largest body of water I tested this in was a bathtub & the quantity of water makes no difference in current but the more zinc & copper added increases current.

Does temperature change the outcome or is it all just a chemical reaction of the copper and zinc within the water?
If chemical reaction it not a sustainable energy and when you look at the bigger picture of the mining, transportation, smelting and casting of the metals its probably not a viable source.

This doesn't really need to be totally Free or Sustainable energy as a solar panel is free energy but it requires resources to build the device but this water battery only needs water, zinc & copper.

To refer to this as a water battery is incorrect. This is an aluminum air battery. The energy is not supplied by the water but by the aluminum's reaction with the air. The water is simply the electrolyte. The aluminum is the anode and the copper is the cathode. The aluminum will eventually be consumed and the battery will cease to function.

Yes you could (though the Al would be the anode and the Cu would be the cathode). And yes it would be cheap but not entirely practical yet (there are companies working on this Al-air cell as well as zinc-air cells). Al-air and zinc-air have very high energy densities (around 1000Wh/kg) but are not rechargeable in a conventional sense as the reactive metal would need replacing. Shelf life is also a concern. I believe there is a youtube video on making an Al-air batteries using aluminum foil.

yes but zinc is also a diamagnetic (or non magnetic) material. For it to be attracted by a magnet, it would either be an aluminum alloy or zinc plated steel (some are made this way). Regardless of whether or not the material is zinc or aluminum both will function in the same manner for this experiment. A more encompassing term would be "metal-oxide battery". All metal oxide batteries function under the same principles.

The video is true if you know how batteries work - they need acid and 2 different types of metal, nothing really revolutionary about this video. You can try salted water, it will work better (better acid) or you can try lemons (they have acid too). The problem with this is, that even though there is almost 2V of voltage, the current you can get from it is veeeery small - enough to power a low voltage led, calculator etc. You won't be able to power an IBM-PC computer with that :).

can that water battery last forever?? or it will run out of energy until all the water has vapored.??

It seems that if the zinc deteriorates it would cease to function. The other question is very obvious since the water is is essential to it's function then if it would evaporate cease to function just as if your car battery were to vapor all it's water, you must replenish the water. But then in vid 2 the earth battery might be able to be multiplied but I never experimented beyond the video

I think approx 12V can make a bulb glow pretty bright enough....!! Why not we add more and more glasses in series make a radio work all the time....!!

Stick them in your mouth, and you will actually feel the current! (Srsly)
Anyway, I think you should look up what a Marx Generator is, and try it with this set-up. It will allow you to boost the voltage and amperes up, meaning, you could run circuits more easily.

How does copper + zinc + electrolyte = free energy? It's a copper-zinc battery. Nothing free there, except if the metals were free-as-in-beer for you. The metals are consumed, albeit slowly, and they are the "fuel" for this battery.
Sparks from dripping water is the same, the energy doesn't come from the water, it comes from the pumping of the water through the machine in a cycle.

The O²-Batteries are more interesting. They also have been around for a while (they are used in constant-enabled devices like in hearing aids) but the problem is that they are activated as soon as they get in touch with O²...

Copper and zinc batteries have been around for a while but it is a nice reminder btw works better with an acid.

Isn't that just some kind of chemical change? I expect it to run out in, at most a week or two.
wilram217 2 years ago
you would think so but in part 2 I put these in the ground & still had the same result.
Under vid 1 check out the video in the video response section. You might want to ask him how long he ran his circuits for

as far as using the ground where I live aluminum is just about gone in a month if its thin

I've read you can raise the voltage by adding salt and sand

Make sure you see the video response section. That guy actually ran a circuit off of this experiment.

so if we were on a trip on mexico or whatever, and there were no electricity and you just then ran out of batter for your precious ipod or zune(which is 10 times better than an ipod), and there were several cups of water, and you just so happend to have some wires and zinc.... you get the idea :)

a laptop,(for the zinc protector) any solid core wire (or stranded but cant be zinc)
and some water, then yea!

coolness, i last year took 8 plastic water bottles and did th esame thing...on water alone i was able to get 7.7 volts and .20MA.
I know its possible to get 3 volts and substantially MORE amperage if you throw some sea salt into a glass of distilled vinegar with a tablespoon of lemon juice...
RamoneTalarico 2 years ago
you may increace easy the Voltage just adding more cups with electrolit, but the Amperage would be still very low.
I believe there is a way to get more Amps

Good experiment!!
Hey, if you load it, will it get exhausted??
If not, its true free energy!!

Click on the video attachment then check with this guy. A long time ago I seem to remember him contacting me and saying 3 months and still going. Which means his water unit had run a circuit for 3 months and beyond, but check it out

Thanks!!

hey you do know its realy "cheap" energy
you pay for tap water
and wire
and a voltage meter
and the zinc
and the cups
lol

congratulations, you made a battery
i would suggest using distilled vinegar as the electrolyte. if you would like to calculate the voltage of any two materials look up a redox reaction table.

You mean Volta battery?...ok so if you still think that then try with two different pencils, then you will still have voltage and current, but it will not be a battery, it will be a generator without the consumption of any material. Much better if you use monocrystalline silicon and graphite. To connect more cells in series try with tin . Look for "Electricity from water" on facebook and you'll find my group ;-)

A FMMC meter measures conductivity not amps not voltage -- and digital display meters are based on these Fixed-magnet-moving-coil meters.
So electric theory is wrong. Which is a good thing, because now we can start a better electric theory.

maybe if you could power the newman motor with this kind of electricity you might be able to power a home
SteveMontuno 2 years ago
The same can be done with two or more containers of earth, or oranges or lemons. I wonder what kind of a system would one need to build in order to power something in your house to decrease your electric bill. Has anyone tried this? I will try it and will post a video on it. But let me know if anyone has any ideas on this.

You can also do this with a pie pan and some copper wire. Fill the pie pan with water place a paper towel in the bottom and set the copper wire on top of the paper towel in the water. Connect your alligator clips to the pie pan and the copper wire and you will get about a half a volt with 200 milliamps. I found that tin and copper make the best anode/cathode group. I think the electricity is coming from rust, because after about a month the voltage droped significantly but there was algae on it

the value is same with vinegar..
but if i put a glass of water with half of copper and another one with half of zinc,do the voltage will increase?Please reply me.
babengmantol 2 years ago
The reason the "voltage" increases is because glasses are added in series which is equivalent to increasing the length in the equation "R" = con.A/L
So I suggest a thin copper wire for one electrode at least but for both probably better. The venturi priciple. ie: water flows faster in a thin pipe and slower in a thick pipe: garden hose, jet engine. Does it work in a dark room?
Suggested putting the zn cu in alternate series- one wire.
Try Cu-Zn alternations in 1 & other elctrde, 1 cup.

what if you would use salt water or leamon juice in the water?

rainmanp7 aka cryogenics
There needs to be a "Easy way" to step up DC Volt Amp Etc..
"Car Coil = Powers distributer ?
All you need is 12volts and 10 Amps and then slap a car inverter on it-> then you got 120V etc.. power a TV/Computer
I noticed that small items between the 2 wires get good results instead of full glasses...Cheese/earth/water/ maybe something else ? Thank you for posting :) Battery recharging it self & giving power :)
