Hey guys, today we are going to look at a strange artifact called the Baghdad battery. The Baghdad battery is a 2000 year old battery which is capable of producing electricity. We all know that the batteries were invented just 200 years ago in 1800 by Alessandro Volta. But history books are wrong and they hide facts about ancient technology.
We are going to recreate this 2000 year old Baghdad battery and see if it is capable of producing enough power to light up light bulbs or to power motors, or if we can do anything useful with it. So let's go back about 80 years ago and see how the Baghdad battery was found. In 1938, a German archeologist called Wilhelm König found a dozen jars outside the city of Baghdad which is now the capital of Iraq. Now, these jars were about 5 inches tall and they had a very unique setup. The jars contained a copper cylinder, actually a copper foil rolled up to form a cylinder and the center of the copper cylinder, there was an iron rod put inside. They had used a bitumen to make a stopper to make sure that the iron did not touch the copper. This is a very unique set up and the entire metal arrangement was put inside the jar, like this. And here is the most interesting thing, these jars had traces of grape juice or wine inside them, and these metals showed serious signs of corrosion, because of the wine or grape juice. This recreation is going to be very similar to the original one. This is a clay pot just like the Baghdad battery jars and here is a copper cylinder and I am putting in an iron rod. Now, the only difference is that between the copper cylinder and the iron rod, I am putting in a cork stopper. Now, the ancient Baghdad battery had bitumen. I couldn't find bitumen, but the only reason why this stopper exists is to separate the copper and the iron to make sure that these metals do not touch each other. So, the choice of the material does not really matter. But this is the only difference between the ancient Baghdad battery and what I am doing now. So, you can see the set up, and I am going to use this as another stopper so it doesn't fall inside.
The next step is to pour grape juice. So here, I have made some grape juice and I am gonna pour this inside. And then, we are going to put the whole thing back into the jar. Now, the copper will act as a positive terminal and the iron will act as a negative terminal and the grape juice will be the electrolyte. Believe it or not, once you add the grape juice, you can actually hear the chemical reaction.
