Matouq. Veggie Power! Making Batteries from Fruits and Vegetables Project Kit Available! Order Your Project Supplies Abstract Did you know that you can get electricity out of a potato? In this project you will learn how do build a simple battery using a variety of different fruits and vegetables - REALLY! You'll be able to figure out things like:

1.1 What is a Battery? A battery is defined as being an electrochemical cell that has the ability to turn chemical energy into electrical energy. All batteries contain an anode, cathode, electrolyte and a separator. The difference between distinct types of batteries are the materials used as the electrodes and electrolyte. There are two types of battery categories in which all batteries can fall under, the primary battery which is a single use battery cell and the secondary battery cell which can

Make a Carrot Battery This activity uses a common carrot and two different metals to make a enough electricity to run a small digital clock. Materials: Two Large Raw Carrots; 2 Pennies; 2 Large Galvanized Nails; 3 pieces of 6" long wire; Small Digital Clock (Tandy (Radio Shack) or Maplin - "Stick-on Timer" £3.50/ $4.99. The digital clock can be extracted from an inexpensive alarm clock or it can be purchased from an electronics store. Slice of about 1 inch from each carrot and discard. Place

amounts of water trapped in the mineral structure by polar attraction. CHAPTER II Review Of Related Literature The Baghdad battery was the foundation of this project and Baghdad batteries were built by Ancient Parathions. There is still no exact proof on where the Parathions were able to use it since there were no wires found for the electric current to flow. The battery is composed of a clay pot, a copper tube enclosing a half inch metal tube and an asphalt stopper as a resistor. Inside the

The use of electricity may go back further known as the Parthian Battery. The battery dates back to the Parthian empire and is believed to be 2,000 years old. However, the battery is known from its creator Alessandro Volta (a chemist and physicist and pioneer of electrical science). Volta is known for voltaic electricity (same as volts) and for many other things. The basic property of a battery is that two objects work as electrodes, causing an electrochemical reaction which generates voltage. 5]

Batteries are essential for the wireless heart monitors to operate. A battery is composed of electrochemical cells that convert stored chemical energy to electrical energy and consists of a cathode (the positive terminal) and an anode (the negative terminal). The battery needs to connect to the external circuits of the wireless heart monitor, and electrolytes move and cause the electrolytes to act as ions and preform work. There are two ways in which batteries can behave: a primary and a secondary

Potato Powered Clock Theory: Potato as a Battery Hypothesis: Potatoes have starch in them which is a natural sugar that can be broken down naturally for a release of energy and generate enough power to run a digital clock. Problem Statement: Can ordinary potatoes power a digital clock for more than 24 hours? Variables: * Independent Variable – Potato * Dependent Variables – Clock, connection wires, copper and zinc plates Materials Needed: * Digital Clock with 2 Wires

many/cents are useful to make energy. The question that is being studied in this experiment is that how many layers of cents make a more powerful battery. The topic of the experiment is A battery that makes cents. A battery that makes cents is an energy reaction that happens between cents. Will more layers of cents make a more or less powerfull battery? It is important that our question should be answered because our question is an important part in our experiment. The people who should be Interested

what battery lasts the longest. I will also try to determine if the cost of the battery has anything to do with the power it has.I think the Duracell battery will last the longest. I also believe that the more expensive the battery the longer it will last.Battery companies market their products by making impressive claims about how durable and reliable their batteries are. But which battery lasts the longest? Will a more expensive, brand name battery really last longer than a generic battery? Materials

Batteries are machines that turn chemical energy into electrical energy by combining different chemicals. (What is a battery, n.d). The difference alkaline batteries and other types of batteries is alkaline batteries are not reusable while of the other battery types are. (What are Batteries, 2014). Despite how many times the various battery types can be used, they are all made of the same chemicals. When electrons flow in the battery, it creates an electrical current that powers things. The battery
