Leran to recondition 12 Volt bateries At this link.

Boy ! Did I mess up. I said point zero 6 volts. I meant Millie amps. Increasing the size of the plates increases the amperage.
I hope everyone knows that there is a chemical reaction here and it will not run forever. The galvanizing will turn black and the battery will stop producing electricity.
I am going to let the LED run 24 hours a day until it quits .

Day #1 3/18/08 Started 1:20 PM.

Day #12 3/30/08 Stopping test 8:30 AM.

Salt water battery is still lighting LED, But just barely.
It started off with 4 volts & 6 mille amps and is now down to 2.2 volts and 1.79 mille amps. And ran 24 hours a day for 12 days.

Learned;; Each cell has a set voltage. Increase volts by wiring cells in series. Increase amps by increasing surface area of copper and Galvanized plates .

Conclusion; Yes, In an emergency situation. One could build a salt water battery that could power an emergency radio. Recharge small rechargeable batteries. Hearing aids. Pacemakers. Etc.
It is not a bad thing to learn how to do.

PS; Let's see Myth Busters screw this one up.

  • 1 man 5 cuos

  • @madsaalborg My brother (whead68) one man 10 small buckets  30 LED lights.

  • will try this using gallons instead of cups. Wish me luck! Good info vid.

  • @hawkblade09 Check out mt brothers ( whead68 ) And good luck to you

  • 5 cups for a LED light? how much voltage do 5 cups generate? *for my experiment. thanks :)

  • @meggiitots22 5 cups  just under 4 volts Check out my Brother's salt water battery

    11 cups 30 LEDs ( whead68 )

  • I cook my coffee using this system!

    One thousand cups in series!

    Works like a champ!

  • Science! Fuck yeah!

  • I found out that aluminium and RVS make the highest potential.

    These two metals also last longer in salt water !

    I got 0,856 Volt in one glass.

  • Good for people living nearby ocean ;)

  • @RHEAD100  I created this project for my daughter in school science exhibition. I think my kid will get prize for that. Thanks
