Simple Salt-water Battery for Free Light
WE ARE GOING TO MAKE A SALT WATER BATERY. IT CAN BE A GOOD SOURCE OF LIGHT IN EMERGENCY OR FOR THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE LIGHT.
Supplies
Here are the materials you'll need for this project
- Aluminum (Ex. Foil)
- the carbon thing from battery (Manganese oxide)
- Wires
- tape
- String- Got mine from a mask.
GET THE IDEA
WATCH THIS SHORT VIDEO FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING
Extraction of Cathode
Get the carbon thing from the battery by striping the zinc cothing
FINISHING OUR CELL
Make sure that anode and cathode don't contact together.
Connect Your Cell to a Joule Thief
we need to boost our voltage inorder for our load in my case small led to work. A joule thief is a minimalist self-oscillating voltage booster that is small, low-cost, and easy to build, typically used for driving small loads.
