Potato Batteries: Veggie power! Data and Analysis Background The battery was invented around 1800 by Alessandro Volta in Italy. It has become an indispensable part of modern life. Why are batteries so useful? Because they convert chemical energy into electrical energy. You can use this electrical energy to light a flashlight‚ to start a car‚ or to listen to your favorite music. We made a simple battery out of a potato by placing in it a zinc strip and a copper strip. At the zinc strip‚ the

Make a Battery from Potato Introduction: Batteries generate electricity through a chemical reaction between two different electrodes and one electrolyte. Use of Copper and Zinc electrodes and Sulfuric acid as electrolyte is a proven method for this process. We are wondering if we can use any other liquid as electrolyte? This gave us the idea of using a potato as electrolyte. After all a fresh potato has a lot of juice that may serve our purpose as electrolyte. Problem: Can Potato be used

Connect one end of the white wire to one of the nails and then place the nail into one half of the potato. 3. Connect the other end of the white wire to the battery holder inside the digital clock. 4. Connect one of the pennies to one end of the black wire then put the penny into the same half of the potato as the nail with the connected to it. 5. Connect

Chapter 1 The Problem-And It’s Background Potato as an alternative battery for scientific calculator is the chosen topic of the researchers. The researchers thought of many topics but the topic about the scientific calculator get their attention. They thought that scientific calculator is very useful to students especially to 4th year students. A scientific calculator is a type of electronic calculator‚ designed to calculate problems in science‚ engineering‚ and mathematics. They have

scalloped‚ but how about taking the place of a car battery? If a potato can replace a AA battery and light up a light bulb‚ who’s to say multiple potatoes couldn’t serve the same purpose in a car? Potatoes use the acids within them to start a reaction between the copper and zinc wires on either side of it. This reaction causes the flow of electrons passing through the wires and using the positive and negatively charged electrons to power the bulb. Car batteries also run off a positive and negative charge

A battery‚ which is actually an electric cell‚ is a device that produces electricity from a chemical reaction. In a one cell battery‚ you would find a negative electrode; an electrolyte‚ which conducts ions; a separator‚ also an ion conductor; and a positive electrode. Batteries are made of magnesium dioxide‚ graphite‚ electrolytes‚ zinc oxide and a paper soaked in an electrolyte solution. All of this is sealed in a insulated tube for safety. http://answers.ask.com/consumer_electronics/other/what_are_batteries_made_of

Environmental Impacts of the Battery The creation of the battery was invented in 1859 by a man named Gaston Plante. Over the years as technology advances so do they batteries adding different materials like nickel‚ zinc‚ lead‚ graphite‚ carbon and toxic acids such as acid‚ magnesium dioxide‚ and hydrochloric acid making it one of the most helpful inventions known to mankind. Throughout our everyday lives a lot of things we use require a battery. The disposable battery converts chemical energy into
