Vinegar Battery

Download/DVD: http://hilaroad.com/video/
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.

[ScienceOnline]

Connect more batteries (cells) in parallel.

Acetic acid is a weak acid right?

[shreyans94]

you could have used an led instead of calculator..

[niddasa]

do you always have to use zinc?

[Chrispainta]

This movie is very well done, but all viewers need to draw proper conclusion from it. The conclusion is that EVEN IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH VOLTAGE FROM YOUR HOME-MADE BATTERY (no matter how you call it; lemon, vinegar, salt water or manure), IT WILL NOT PRODUCE ENOUGH ENERGY to make working many "serious practical devices" such as car. So do not be excited if you lighten a diode or a calculator. And do not think that you are getting energy from vinegar or salt water. Here it was Zinc.

any acid or alkaline will work

CAN IT POWER A LED LIGHT??

the disadvantage of this viniger bateri is that its large and has very low power.
