Blog Update

Since Ms Zhang suggested "how do you know if other substances produce electricity?", I will be listing the ingredients of the product (if it comes in a bottle) and the nutritional information of that product. I will also test to see if sugar has any effect on the electricity by mixing sugar and water until saturated and using the metals to see if sugar produces any electricity.

I have planned my experiment so that the first 2 weeks of term, I will be doing some background research and writing up the method, then be carrying out the experiment in the following 4 weeks (week 3-7). And in the last two weeks I will be finishing the experiment.

Fingers crossed the experiment will work properly. :)

Climate Graph

Took 4eva to merge the two graphs in photoshop... but I managed, and here it is... :D

It's not the best quality, but its easy to upload.

Questions to be answered

  1. Can normal household acids produce the same amount of electricity as a 1.5 volt AA battery?
  2. Can it produce the same amount of energy such as a 9 volt battery?
  3. How long does the “acid battery” last (hours)?
  4. Does pH effect how much electricity is made?
  5. What other materials (components) can produce electricity (research)?
  6. Which acid is most acidic?

Some of the equipment I found in the garage:
                  Multimeter                                      Digital Calipers

Equipment

The list of equipment that I need is:
  • Multimeter
  • Cups
  • Zinc and Copper
  • Digital Caliper (to measure the thickness of metals)
  • pH paper
  • Vinegar
  • Coca Cola
  • Lemon juice
  • Black Tea
  • Green Tea
  • Orange juice
  • Tomato Sauce
  • Sugar
  • Wires
  • Tap Water
  • Light Bulb and Socket
  • Measuring jug
  • 1.5 volt AA battery 
  • 9v battery
 I'll cross it off when I've found/bought them.
