Making a battery from a cola can

In this video you will se that you can make a battery from a cola can just using coins!

It's amazing!! The accent is very difficult but if you listen carefully you will understand.

The video starts like this:

In this quick video on "go repairs", I'm going to show you how to make a battery from a cola can and a penny. First off we need to empty the can, so put the contents into a cup and put to one side as we'll be using that later...

cola can = lata de cola
drain cleaner = desatascador


Did you understand it? Listen to this video three times and try to understand. Later leave a comment and tell me how was the experience.

Do you want to understand how the can and the coin are able to make electricity?

Here is a short explanation:

 A battery is made of two metals and an electrolyte. An electrolyte is a liquid that conducts electricity. The cola is a not very good conductor so that's why he adds salt (which dissolved in water is a great conductor). Therefore we have copper (the coin), aluminium (the can) and an electrolyte (the cola with salt). The electrolyte produces that electrons move from one metal to another and so we have electricity

Enjoy!! 😄

      Good morning! A battery is made of two metals and an electrolite. An electrolite is a liquid that conducts electricity. The cola is a not very good conductor so that's why he adds salt (which dissolved in water is a great conductor). Therefore we have copper (the coin), aluminium (the can) and an electrolite (the cola with salt). The electrolite produces that electrons move from one metal to another and so we have electricity. If you are able to make the experiment make a photo. ✌

      Maybe you can tell your parents to buy one next time they go to the supermarket. Tell your parents to cut the can, don't do it yourself. It's a very interesting experiment that you can also do with lemons.

      It's just a small battery. With a big one o more powerful one you can use lights at home or any electrical machine!! It's a source of energy!
