is electricity made of electrons?

>> No.1970051

no, are you serious?

>> No.1970049

Is there no god?

>> No.1970066

not necessarily

depends what you mean by electricity

you could have a flow of protons and you'd have an electric current

That shade of red does not look good on a Caucasian blonde woman.

>> No.1970072

It's made of differences in electrical potential

>>1970066you could have a flow of protons

HOW?

Supercollider. You can thing of protons as ionized hydrogen.

pH gradient across the membrane of a mitochondrion. Negatively charged particles on one side. Protons on the other. Current of protons flows in a current through ATP synthase, releasing energy (converted to ATP) in the process.

so how do i pick out the electrons out of atoms and make electricity?

Rub a ballon on your hair.

You've just removed electrons from their atoms.

Alpha radiation is a flow of He2+ atoms.
A hydrogen with no electron is just a proton.

>>1970091
i believe the original way was to rub amber (ηλεκτρον in greek, which is sort of pronounced "electron") against something

>> No.1970107

ya but how do i make tvs and stuff work with it

>> No.1970117

>>1970107

Run a permanent magnet through a large copper coil. There, you've stripped electrons from their atoms, making electricity, and you've made enough to do practical work.

INB4 magnet herp

>>1970117
no i mean like a machine where you put stuff in and it can be anything cuz theres electrons in everything and the machine just picks out the electrons and makes electricity so i can watch tv for free

Is energy made out of mass?

>> No.1971124

You guys are soooooo dumb. I was just at the store the other day and bought some electrons and made electricity just fine.

E = mc^2
