A salt water battery generates electricity by using two different metals (such as copper and a nail) immersed in salt water, which acts as an electrolyte to conduct electrical current; multiple cells connected in series can produce sufficient voltage to power an LED light.

Can Salt Water Create Electricity? | Salt water Battery Experiment
Added:Hello, little engineers.
Do you know >> [music] >> we can take electricity >> [music] >> from water >> [music] >> using a special secret ingredient. Let's go to the video.
>> [music] >> Welcome to the Action Science Innovation Lab.
Hello, little engineers. Today we are going to do salt water battery. For that, we need safety glasses. We can put it [music] on for safety.
And water, bowl, salt, [music] nails, copper metals, crocodile clip, yeah.
And LED light and multimeter for checking the voltage. To make salt water, first we need water.
Three spoons of salt.
>> [music] >> Some salt fell down, so let me take it.
I'll mix it.
>> [music] >> Okay, take >> [music] >> a bowl.
We made this salt water.
Okay, now we have to pour it. But how it will work?
>> [music] >> I'm so excited for it. Okay, let's pour it.
We pour [music] it.
Okay, we have to take the two alligator clips.
>> [music] >> Okay.
And take a alligator clip and >> [music] >> press it.
Wait.
And put it >> [music] >> Really good and take another I'll get it clear and Press down and put it on the Uh nail.
Okay, okay, we need two different metals. One is copper, one is nail.
[music] Okay, now let's put down over here. They both should not [music] touch.
I will don't touch.
Okay, they [music] are not touching.
Why it's not working?
Wait a minute.
Let me check with the multimeter.
Now we are going to see whether current is coming or not. Okay, let's Okay, it's in point 30.
We need three old. It's not enough.
[music] Like the battery inside it lot of small things.
Like that we need more cells.
We need two metals in one bowl just like this.
One over top, one copper [music] over here and one uh nail.
Then >> [music] >> I have to put copper over here.
And like that we have to do.
Oh.
>> [music] >> Finally we have to put it over here and put it over here.
We have to check it's touching or not first. Otherwise [music] it will go in minus.
Okay, this version.
Don't touch, Aisha.
He is Let's check the old now.
Coming >> [music] >> now.
>> [music] >> Let's check if working or not.
It's working. Can you [applause] see, guys?
Hope you all enjoyed this video. Like, share, and subscribe [music] to Daksh's Innovation Lab for more fun experiments.
See you in the next video. Bye.
