Matthew Robbins and I created a battery out of 10 cent coins, Zinc washers and cardboard soaked in Vinegar.Our question was to find out how much energy copper coins generator to do this we stacked copper coins cardboard and then zinc washers for my first battery i used 15 copper coins. Then I connected a volt meter to each end of the batter. We got a high voltage of 7.65 volts but sadly the battery only created a low current. Our oringal idea was to use the battery to power a small light bulb or a calculator but after that failed we decided to power a LED.
Positive
A positive of doing this experiment was that it was a lot of fun and it was great learning about how different metals create different levels of electricity.
Minus
We had a few distractions as there was a inappropriate group working near us. Our battery didnt have much current.
Interesting
Ten cent coins create a lot of voltage but now a lot of current. Also Despite having a lot of voltage the LED still didn't glow very bright.
