How to Make Real and Powerful Battery, DIY Battery (5 Years Lifespan)

Nickel Iron sulfuric: A battery with no electrode deterioration at all. Edison's circa 1900 batteries supposed to still work.

Awesome build. Simple, cheap and a long lasting. What more could anyone ask for?

Sodium hydroxide dissolves aluminum and releases hydrogen, and I'm pretty sure Na0H has a similar reaction with copper. By, "5 years lifespan", do you mean when stored before adding the electrolyte? ...Otherwise it seems that the aluminum, (and possibly also the copper), would be dissolved if left sitting in a solution of NaOH on a shelf for a while. Thank you for taking the time to share this. I've always been fascinated with batteries that can be made at home. Robert Murray-Smith also has some very interesting videoS on this subject as well as many other subjects in this field of study.

me: what kind of foil ? :face-blue-smiling: joy: cooper foil! :face-fuchsia-tongue-out: me: thanx :face-green-smiling::face-fuchsia-poop-shape:

doesn't Lye eat aluminum? I have used it to clean my end mills gummed up with aluminum because i just let the bits sit in the Lye and it then dissolves all the aluminum.

I am truly amazed. One amp out of a home made battery with 1,25 volts is a great achievement.

They can run indefinitely with a flow of 10-20% NaOH. But when I removed the NaOH the oxidation on the aluminum was such that it would not work again. Yes, the electrolyte turns to sodium carbonate in about 6 hours. Fresh electrolyte will keep it going. But if it dries it didn't work anymore for me. Nice clean work. Thanks!

But how did youvmake the graphite and carbon mix?

When I was young a neighbor got a new color tv. When he got it the dealer tossed in a little do -it-yourself Kit for his kids to play with. All his kids were little, so he gave it to me. It was from Burgess battery company, a make - your - own D size batteries kit. It was basically the older way they made D batteries in a kit form, enough stuff to make two. It used a metal can filled with electrolyte paste and a carbon rod down the center. I used them in a flashlight for quite some time and when they got pretty weak I took them apart, broke down and re-mixed the electrolyte with a little water as it was mostly because of drying out, and packed them back together again to use some more. Then the electrolyte was getting pretty gnarly so I couldn’t do it a third time.

Thanks for sharing, have you thought about doing any experiments with geopolymer mixtures for the purpose of making capacitors?

To all who may want to create their own battery... ...Be very very careful in doing any of this. Simple carelessness could lead to catastrophic scenarios.

Is it possible to use another material for electrolyte that is not so corrosive and mix it with some material to make a paste rather than liquid?

knowing that aluminoum works as an alternative to lead used on lead acid bayyeries is good . Thatmmeans we can replace shrinkin lead plates with aluminium plates on defective lead acid batteries and teyll work better then old days

What would be if one tries with Al(0H)3, Ca(0H)2 ,KOH, Mg(0H)2 as electrolyte dissolved in Organic electrolytic Solvent ???????

At least, this works. It's not one more perpetual motion machine, or infinite battery that doesn't work.

That’s really amazing. Thanks a lot bro.

18:00 holy sh*& i thought it was gunna fly awy

I was expecting maybe 1 volt at .250 amp. To get a solid 1.25 volt at more than 1 amp is impressive my friend. I will be building 100, 50 in series, remains in parallel. A very cheap and simple power plant my friend. Thank you for sharing.

Well done. Now if I could make a suggestion. If you make this a two chamber battery then you could just tip the electrolite into the other chamber between uses then have it return when needed. That way you will not be continually handling the corosive liquid.

Hello my friend? You need to post the names of the thing you are using. Because every time you keep saying ( copper foil ) it sounds like your saying ( cooking foil ) and cooking foil would be aluminium foil..... So this is a great video and thank you....
