This is a simple voltaic pile made of three nails, copper wire and vinegar powering up a simple led.

  • hey what kind of vinegar did you use?please answer back :)

  • @zcilent you can use any kind of vinegar. in fact you can use salted wate too :)

  • I used white vinegar and my led's did not light up as much

  • @PrettyPinkPwnies maybe its because the copper wire, its better to use one that is formed by many small copper strips, so it has more surface and more power.
