Actually you do NOT have to use sulfuric acid!...i have rebuilt many old batterie's using an (epsom salt) solution, it work's very well, and last's more than 2 year's easily...i like your charcoal idea, as long as it's a good quality carbon source it will conduct electricity very well!...
AI answer... Yes, it is indeed possible to make a battery using lead plates, active carbon, and acid. This kind of hybrid battery is known as a Lead Carbon Battery. A Lead Carbon Battery combines the high energy density of a lead-acid battery and the high rate capabilities of supercapacitors. This makes these batteries excellent for applications that require both high energy density and high power density. Here is a very simplified description of how a lead-carbon battery works: 1. It has two electrodes: one made of lead dioxide (PbO2), the positive plate, and the other made of active carbon and lead (Pb), the negative plate. 2. The electrolyte is usually a sulfuric acid (H2SO4) solution, as is standard in lead-acid batteries. 3. When the battery is discharged, the lead dioxide (PbO2) on the positive plate and the lead (Pb) on the negative plate react with the sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to create lead sulfate (PbSO4) and water (H2O). This reaction releases energy. 4. When the battery is recharged, the reverse reaction occurs. The lead sulfate and water are converted back into lead dioxide, lead, and sulfuric acid. This process stores energy in the battery. The use of active carbon in the negative electrode increases the battery's power performance by increasing the surface area for the chemical reactions. This means that energy can be delivered more quickly than in a traditional lead-acid battery. Moreover, the active carbon can help to reduce the sulfation of the lead plates, a key reason for the failure of lead-acid batteries, which makes the lead-carbon battery more durable and reliable. Please note that this is a simplified version of the chemistry and reactions involved, and in practice, creating a battery involves careful control of the materials, conditions, and safety considerations. Working with lead and acid can be dangerous, so it's important to have the proper knowledge and protective equipment before attempting to make a battery.
Before you seal the top of battery filled with the carbon. Also give 2 or less amps slow charge. Prevent smoke ( sulfuric gas ) is splosive with the spark of the terminals. Very good video thanks.
Lead poisoning await you. Lead works its way to your bones. Bone marrow produce red blood cells. It's not a instant event but lead poisoning will undeniably happen.
It is amazing how many pairs of common substances will indeed function as a battery. The charge density and run time may not be as much as a commercially available battery. But it may be perfectly good for what you need it for, such as charging a smart phone during a blackout.
Desi Ideas:- liked & subscribed, an unique way of utilizing the old lead acid battery to a advantage, that to very minimum expense, just a skill, your Idea of opening the battery, utilizing old terminal lead, assembling technic, instead of battery plates using crushed charcoal+1250 sp.gravity sulphuric acid, as an individual cells, internal connector's making, opened box top fixing,are all amazing work of a professional, very innovative idea as DIY superb video Demo presentation, output voltage almost 12 volts as a household work quite suitable battery, finally an acceptable project.👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
@@desiideascreativity : Also keep all lead connections in place of the plastic battery box, cut only 3/4 of the cell compartment leave 1/4 for the electrons to move from + Positive to - negative, then fill with charcoal the cells, the reseal cover of the Battery, then last sulfuric acid as energy catalyst. Fast and not much Welding, and more for your Business. Best Regards to you.
@@Thato3700: Only sulfuric acid only to fill the cells, the acid shall be placed only one time. Then slow charge. Destil water if the level of acid go down.
This battery will have the ampere/ hour of 3 series connected small cell phone battery or maybe less . 50 times less than normal. What he should have done is to make sure no plates were shorting refurbish them and reattach them, check none are shortlisted then assemble. Battery will be close to normal.
i used to see those who repair old car batteries is by removing all positive plates and negative plates, examine the bad plate then replace with a much better plate. If your own way works well and fine, though im sure it wont be a strong power like spinning the to start an engine.
it a great idea . from scrap can you said how long it last with the lead ligh bulb on or dc motor on. you shoud sale them all ready made with out the acid that way you can ship it an cheaper so poor people can have something efficiency an cheap .hope you understand my writing
Ne razumem čime je čovek preko levka napunio ćelije, i koju je kiselinu sipao ili je to bila destilisana voda. Da li tako formiran akumulator može da da struju od 50A
This battery design was un safety and porous. Crabon dioxide and sulfer gasses produced both gases are dangerous and pourus beside proppability of explosion while charging. انتبهوا يااخوان هذا البطارية سامة وخطيرة.
Uhhh no......... That doesn't even make any sense. Where's the separators on each cells ?? Why are the electrodes shorted ?? There are no chemical reaction with this setup. How does this even work ?
Some people think that it is fake .. But I guess they did not study physics in school or never hear about lemon or potato battery... This experiment is correct but this type of battery (calling supper capacitor would be appropriate) have very low energy density maybe just 1 to 5% as compared to normal lead acid battery... I suggest him try to use Activated carbon with carbon black to increase its energy density and Internal resistance.. Also increase the size of lead preferably in plate shape.
@@MrChimstar like led acid batt over all ;) ...initial charging. forget the coal...it is a ordinary car battery with low Ah.... just enugh to light a 2w led for some time...is good enough for many ;) sorry...my english is bad!
What use would be a battery without enough amperage? This is like making a battery for school work, the ones that are connected in series or parallel but that cannot move a toy car.
If a box is pressed slowly by some arm , inside heat can rise because of pressed air inside and if the arm stop pressing so that the box dont break, box being locked whit brackets so that it remain pressed , heat from walls could be used to heat water or air and produce energy
I know in Taiwan they recycle a lot of stuff circuit boards etc. ===== What kind of Amps can you get out of that battery 🔋? ==== I was going to try and buy a dry cell 📱. I like the idea of a compressed carbon. ===== There's this one company that sells a dry cell you can put it in any way you want upside down sideways and it doesn't matter. ==== Clean your cells with a little bit of laxative. === I was experimenting with CLR to clean a battery plate and when I got back to it Splash kicked it over 🐎💨💕🔋🔥 👋😎💨 Bryan Dr Howard said on a regular battery if you're stuck in the middle of nowhere . Shake your battery may be that will break loose that short in the bottom. =≠=== Personally , a gigantic fish tank battery leaps room for the crud to fall to the bottom. === To make sure it doesn't have sulfation
these batteries work but not for high current application, or in other words these are not a high current batteries as others like lead acid, lithium-ion or lithium iron phosphate. for example first crank car engine needs around 400Amp to start which only can be provided by high current batteries. in term of batteries more current mean more time. let say 12v 10amp hour give you small time to use while 12v 100amp hour give you more time to use it.
Does anyone know what handling lead with your bare hands can lead to? I worked for a battery manufacturer...none of this is a good idea. Your long term health is at risk.
i don't believe. charcoal is a conductor, and there is no separator. you have a dead schort between anode and kathode. and both are only the tiny lead rods.
what about using bases like sodium or potassium hydroxide as electrolyte. Additionally what is the Ah Rating for a battery like this? I really want to do PEV's like my emoto/scooter using this concept that I can just re-roll my vehicles battery vs spending an arm and a leg to buy another 72v/ 20Ah lithium battery.
In this way the capacity of battery will decrease and you can use it only with applying a considerable derating. Also the voltage of fully charged battery must be near the 14 Volts that in this case was 12 Volts.
Lets add some radioactive radium into the coal mixture of acid and watch the battery light the led bulb continuously for the next 75years in a Pakistan Science Museum! 🐱👍🏿
Somewhat iffy on belief. But! Since I do know that no matter how you make a basic battery. Each Cell is always approximately 2 volts, its very easy to just take a small jar and make 1 cell. Charge it and see it you get approximately 2 volts. The for the great idea. Don't care if it starts a car. But would run some lights around the yard for fun.
You can assemble those finger sized lithium ion batteries which your can find rated 3.7V at 2000mAh (2Ah). There are some with a higher amperage up to about 8000mAh. If you can find these, you can work out the math for the setup you want to build, and determine how many of such batteries you'll need - first in series, then in parallel. Be sure to test out your purchases before connecting them. To expatiate, if you're looking to make a 12V battery system from the 3.7V/2Ah, simply connect three in series to get 11.1V at 2Ah. 4 in series will be overkill and the batteries will suffer overcharging due to the unavailability of suitable charge controllers, unless you can get a variable charger sort of. Experimentally, 3 of such batteries in series work for a 12V system. If you're gunning for a 24V system, then a set of seven in series will suffice. Once you have gotten the required voltage in series, you can place them in parallel to the amount of amperage you want. For example, if you want a 12V/100Ah setup, you will have at least 50 rows of the threes mentioned above that are at 11.1V/2Ah as the amperage adds up for cells connected in parallel while voltage adds up for cells connected in series. Fifty rows of threes mean 150 cells each. Of course, this will be way cheaper than a LiFePO4 battery but could provide similar function, just that you will have to apply a lot of caution and probably build it with the potential hazards in mind.
Be mindful of the fact that lithium does not like to be overcharged, so you will have to apply a battery management system to control its charging and discharging. Such circuits can bought online, and they can be easily configured.
A battery is actually supposed to carry 12.4 volts or 13 for load draw. This is actually OEM manufactures. Also altering or modifying batteries goes against any safety protocol. Do not try this at home.
Unfortunately your average customer expects a reasonable number of amps and volts for some time. And at the same time. And rechargeable time after time. This battery is going to fall short in every way.
