Investigatory Project I. Problems and Setting A. Introduction Batteries‚ years ago‚ have taken the world by a storm and have since than became a necessity in one’s household. Sadly‚ even though they are tremendously useful‚ batteries have drawbacks‚ such as semi- affordable costs‚ limited shelf life and pollution. I had an idea on how to make an alternative to this that would not only work like the real thing but would also be healthy to our environment and light in my pockets

Lemon Battery creating a battery from a lemon is a common project in many science text books. Successfully creating one of these devices is not easy. Batteries consist of two different metals suspended in an acidic solution. Copper and Zinc work well as the metals and the citric acid content of a lemon will provide the acidic solution. Batteries like this will not be able to run a motor or energize most light bulbs. It is possible to produce a dim glow from an LED. The picture at the top

voltage of the battery (6V) and the number of coils‚ can pick up paperclips? IV = voltage of the battery DV = number of paperclips Constants: trials‚ number of coils‚ battery HYPOTHESIS: If the amount of voltage (IV) is increased‚ the number of paperclips (DV) will increase as you pick them up. This is because the higher the voltage‚ the stronger the energy produced in the coil around the metal rod. EXPERIMENT (PROCEDURE): Materials used: 6 volt battery Coils Partner(s)

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

you should first understand that not all batteries will be the same. Flooded cell lead acid batteries are the most commonly found in electric and gas golf carts‚ and you can also find them in utility vehicles and electric vehicles. If you have another battery type like Gel‚ AGM or Lithium‚ the chemistry will require a specialized procedure that differs from those that have been outlined. Understand Batteries Having a basic understanding of batteries and how they work and behave can give you a

SIMULATION FOREGROUND READING Back Bay Battery‚ Inc. Overview The battery industry is enormous‚ with worldwide revenues of approximately $45 billion. It is highly fragmented with at least 20 major manufacturers in each technology segment. Because of the wide range of applications of batteries‚ companies have tended to specialize in a particular technology or market application. Disposable batteries‚ such as the widely available carbon-zinc and alkaline cells‚ are available in standard sizes

Battery cages How have the demands of consumers influenced the way farmers manage their egg industry in Australia? Battery cages are cages in which farmers use in the egg industry to house hens. Around 8 to 10 hens are confined in the space about the size of a cabinet drawer. The eggs are laid onto wire cage floors and roll to the front of the cage for collection. Battery cages are stacked in rows on top of each other‚ so within a single building‚ hundreds of thousands of birds are housed. The

ACID) AS ALTERNATIVE BATTERY Battery or more precisely‚ a cell – is a device in which the reaction between two substances can be made to occur in such a way that some of the chemical energy is converted to useful electricity. Since its invention‚ the battery has become the most common power source for many household and industrial applications. There are many ways to construct a battery‚ as well as ways to control its generated output. This Home-made Vinegar Battery is a battery that is constructed
