In this day and age electricity is something we can't find ourselves without. A beneficial skill to learn is how to make a homemade battery. This can help you in times of power outages, and can be extremely handy in times of survival. Now before we get started the supplies you will need are:
An Ice Tray
13 Metal Screws
1 Sheet Metal Screw
Copper Wire
Water
Take the copper wire and cut 14 strands to about 4-6 inches long. Now wrap the strands around the top of each screw about 2-3 times. After each nail has a copper wire strand wrapped around it, bend the copper wire into a hook formation. Now put one screw with the copper wire around it in each hole of the ice tray, with the hook of the wire resting on the wall separating the holes. In the 2 end holes (doesn't matter which end) place a strand of copper wire in one so it hangs over the edge. In the other place the sheet metal screw with copper wire wrapped around it just like the others. So far you should now have 13 metal screws placed in each hole of the ice tray with copper wrapped around them. One sheet metal screw in one hole at the end, and a strand of copper wire hanging over the edge in the hole next to the sheet metal screw. Now you should have the 14 cells hooked in series up one side and down the other. The copper wire at the end is acting as the positive terminal, while the Sheet metal acts as the negative terminal. Now place water in each hole of the ice tray about half full. The battery is complete and should now be putting off about 9 volts of electricity.
Here is a video for a visual representation on how to make this battery. Enjoy.
