| How to build a battery at home?: WORKS! | |
| | |
A stack is a device that allows for an electrical current from a chemical reaction. In this experience we will teach you to build a homemade battery also works.
Material you will need:
Every battery has two electrodes (usually two metals) and an electrolyte (a substance that conducts electricity). In this case we will use as electrodes metals copper and magnesium. In particular, we will use a copper pipe and a pencil sharpener, which contains magnesium metal body. As electrolyte we use vinegar.
Building battery is very simple you just insert the electrodes inside the vinegar in a glass content and attach a wire to each (as shown in the figure).
must take care that the copper tubing is thoroughly cleaned. To clean you can rub it with a paper sand.
"How do you work?
function works just connect the two wires from the electrodes to a battery-powered device. The problem is that this battery provides a current very low, because it has a high internal resistance, so do not always going to get it to work. You have to choose the appropriate device: a device that requires very little power. For example:
Keep experimenting Material you will need:
- A glass bottle of vinegar
- A piece of copper pipe (of which are used for water pipes)
- A metal pencil sharpener pencil sharpener or
- Power Cables
- A device that we do operate on the stack. Good results are obtained with devices that have some musical greeting cards. You can also serve as an alarm clock of which run on batteries.

- A device for playing a song on toys babies or those who have taken up some greeting cards (musical)
- A watch batteries (used an alarm clock)
NOTE: While not used, it should be outside the sharpener vinegar to prevent a reaction. Notice that when they come into contact, magnesium sharpener reacts with the acid in vinegar and shed many bubbles. Gas is hydrogen.
can try to run other devices with this battery. Probably get a small electric motor.
can also try building other batteries using other metals and other electrolytes. The problem that you are getting is that the intensity you get is very low and you will find it difficult to operate the equipment. But if you have a multimeter (measuring apparatus intensities and electrical potential differences) on hand you can sense the current obtained.
