What is this supposed to be?

>> No.1271819

Why are you making it so complicated

Also, what metal?

>> No.1271849

i'm not sure what metal. i found it in my garage. looks like silver, probably isnt though. i found this set up on a web site. how could i make it simpler?

How about good old copper + zinc in tap water?

No, you're going to need an anode and cathode to get a current flowing.

>> No.1271880

lol it does look like tits. i did try it but i dont know if its working. i know i can test it with a lightbulb but where do i touch the wires to the bulb exactly?

the site said that the aluminum would dissolve into the water once the circuit was set up. as the aluminum dissolves the electrons in it are supposed to flow. or is that completely wrong

so is it right or not?

>> No.1272065

okay so i tried this and seems like a fail. i'm gonna go to canadian tire and get wire and metal and stuff. what combination of metals would give me the highest voltage? what metal should i use for the wire, as in which one transfers electricity the fastest? does the thickness of the wire matter? does it matter how much of the wire will be touching the metal pieces in each half of my cell? i'm just starting out so some help would be appreciated. and i know i can find this all out in google but i like finding it out from actual people instead
