This college professor demonstrates one really amazing battery that is powered by water and paint cans. I have no idea how it works even after watching the VIDEO->

3-22-2007 in 20:46:54 at 70.132.146.221It’s static electricity build-up. But don’t get your hopes up on free power. High voltage but negligible amps (power = volts)x(amps). It’s extremely inefficient. You would be far better off harnessing the energy with a waterwheel - the source of the energy is simply falling water.

“so if we make this at home, we can get free power????” erm, in a word, NO!!! It takes you thousands of times more energy to life the water back to the starting point than than the puny milli-amps of electricity you get.

I was making a point that as materials and power requirements get lower and lower, water will become a resource.
How you got something out of it to pump your own ego, I do not know, lol. Putting words in people’s mouths won’t make you seem any smarter in a place where it’s only comments, not discussion.

This is pretty amazing
