  • The bleach battery will last until the aluminum is corroded away. About 3-4 days.

    The black device in question must be the Radio Shack multimeter

  • Is aluminum better than zinc?

  • @TheLazetrajkov 500 mA will kill you but only if it goes straight across your heart. The problem is that 2v isn't enough to send the full 500mA through your heart since your body has lots of resistance. When he measures the current of the battery he is measuring the current going through the meter when it's being short circuited, or when it has no resistance. That's useful because it determines the maximum current it can put through any circuit. In other words, it's no where near deadly.

  • 4:30 half an amp? that's 0.5. that can kill you right ?

  • @stnacestnca then you did wrong i am doing it for a science fair and i got 1st place it does work ok you mess up on it do it right then send me and the guy a sorry message ok if you could do it right lol lol lol

  • great video i was looking on how to make my !!paint on batteries!! get more amps with 3 finger sized cells i could power a small LED normally!!!! i am going to use bleach now thanks! my batteries are a dry cell battery with corn starch and lemon juice mix! each cell produced 1volt. i dont know the apps because my amp fuze it blown on the meter.

  • I have an IDEA!! Power a 12v Inverter and then run a PC- and film this- maybe even use the webcam to film this!!?? Just a idea..MANY would get the TRUE picture then

  • Dies ist ein neues Zeug
