Beer Battery
The above video and photographs on this page are the documentation of my successful experiment in which I completed an electrical battery using beer as the electrolyte.
In short: A beer battery. Electricity generated from beer!
The equipment I used; A test tube rack I built myself, test tubes, a beaker, a galvanometer, a resistor, crocodile clips on wires and a Light Emitting Diode.
The electrical cell's construction was based on the voltaic pile invented by Alesandro Volta in 1800, it consists of zinc and copper electrodes immersed in an electrolyte, or beer.
Preparing the cells ...
Success!
Drinking your electrolyte is not advisable
but we'll have none of that health and safety malarky in my Lab!
