How Does it Work?
Two different metals have an electronegativity
difference
Immerse these metals in fluid with free floating ions
Ions will be attracted to one metal electrode causing
a potential difference
Creates a very tiny amount of energy
Electricity produced by difference in electrode
potentials
Water is good, Salt Water is better, Vinegar is
best
More electrolytes = bueno!
