- This video shows how to generate electricity from mud or how to make earth battery or dirt battery or mud battery. This is an science experiment which can used for school exhibitions or for science fair exhibitions. This can be an award winning science project for school students in their school exhibitions.
Materials Needed :
1. Copper Wires ( Buy Here : amzn.to/3voJGMm )
2. Galvanized Nails
3. Wires
4. LED
This Mud battery or Soil battery work by harnessing the power of bacteria that live in soil. These microscopic organisms release electrons as they consume and break down sugars. As the bacteria expel energy, the battery will capture it and allow it to be reused.
The 2 most common types of bacteria are Shewanella & Geobacter. Shewanella can be in almost anywhere on the earth, and can expel energy to compounds outside its body. Geobacter is are to be found where there is no oxygen (like the ocean floor) and can respire iron compounds.

‘Dirt’ cheap electricity. See what I there? 🤣
Earth isn't an object.
It is THE MAGNETIC FIELD.
It has no edge.
It is Us.
It is the idea of microbial fuel cells
why do you need a nail on one side but not on the other???
One terminal is copper and one terminal is Galvanized nail, so you can use copper nail if you get it, i had copper wire so I used it and Galvanized nail on the other !!
@@CreativityBazaar Oh yeah! Because you need one electrode to be made of copper and the other one from tin, right? I thought that the nail was supposed to make more surface area to make more electricity so it was weird that other side didn't have that extra surface. Forgot about that weird different metals electrodes that I dont really understand
Can you measure how long those 5 glasses of mud were able to power to led? Also, is that plain water or have you included salt? Thanks.
I have not measured for how long it will give power for, may be you can try and comment here...I just tried this experiment for my viewers to help them for school exhibitions etc.
I just used only plain water ..!!
ok so the lightbulb we had didnt light up, think it has something to do with the current? right now our battery is a voltage source but I want to know if there's a way to make a current out of it like citric acids?
Try to use LED light to check. It will work. Check current reading using multimeter.
You need to discharge electricity into those five cups of clay to create your own rechargeable battery😊
Has anyone ever tried using salt water instead of normal water (freshwater)? Would it amp up the volts
Please try and mention the results here..I am sure nobody has tried it..!!
If you have multiple cups why scoop the mud with your hands? Plus if you are filling it up so much that the cups get all muddy why not scoop with that cup?
People fascinate me. Smart enough to make a mud battery, while simultaneously dumb enough to not utilize obvious logic
ok last one (maybe) but can you show me the cites and sources on how you made your research?
Just search in Google for Soil batteries or soil battery experiments..you can find many like this..!!
what is the components of clay soil that made it conductable (able to produce electricity )
Please refer Video description for required components to do this experiment...!!
@@CreativityBazaar Thank youu
@@CreativityBazaar what do you think is the reason if the light bulb didn't light up?
Check if the components are used as given in description and also connection is as shown in the video..!!
What are the important materials needed for this.
See the description or full video captions bro..!!
Why is it showing a minus number and how many milliamps is this setup producing ?
That's because the terminals of both wires were interchanged...!! But you ignore minus symbol...!! If you interchange terminals, you get positive value..!!
@@CreativityBazaar Ah ok. I can't see at what point they're interchanged seeing as you hooked the copper (the cathode) to a red wire that was then attached to the red lead of the voltmeter and the galvanized nail (the anode) to a white wire which you attached to the black lead of the voltmeter. But nevermind.
Can it power a larger light bulb?
No...it will not glow the big bulb...you need 1000s of cups may be to glow a bulb
@@CreativityBazaar noted!
Cool. Now how many more of these would you need to charge a phone. 😶
Please try it and comment here the number needed to charge a phone.
!! 😉😃
can i use step up converter ?
Not tried...you can try and comment here your observations
What if you were to try this with buckets of mud would it generate more energy?
Yes ofcourse, why not ?? Try it and give a feedback here on how good it worked...!!
How many watts I get?
What could this charge be?

@@CreativityBazaar This is extremely important to know!
It throws current like quartz watch 1 second sweep
Does this actually work?
Yes.. This works really.. This is science experiment..!!
Read the comment box. It helps
The part where the copper wire is attached to the nail should not be in contact with the mud which is the electrolyte.
No, copper should be in contact with the mud which is shown in the video..!!
@@CreativityBazaar one end of the copper should be in the mud but the end that's wrapped around the top of the galvanized nail should not.
I've just run a test to verify: 2 small earth batteries wired in series with the copper wire around the top of the nail not in contact with mud = 1.56 volts. Pushed the nail down so that the copper wire was in the mud and the voltage went down to 1.47 volts. (I wonder why?!)
With 5 batteries in series you should be getting closer to 3.94 volts.
Both copper and galvanized iron should be in contact with mud..!! I am happy that this experiment is helping you..!!
@@CreativityBazaar Yes but not at the point you're joining them together. Otherwise some of your electrical charge from battery a is leaking into the mud in battery b, hence a lower voltage.
Not really helpful as all I've done is confirm what I had already observed. It would have been helpful to know how many milliamps you were getting to see if I should use different soil for the mud. Yours looks like there's a lot of clay in it.
can I ask? why do you need 5 cups of dirt?
You can have 1 cup also.. There is no limit to cups... More the number of cups, more will be the brightness of LED or more the output voltage..!!
@@CreativityBazaar ahhhhh tyty
It would I think in theory increases the amplitude.
@@CreativityBazaar can you try the 10 or 20 cups
@v.anandkrishna7277 yes you can try any number of cups..!! Try it out and see the output
The ampere is so low you can't do any meaningful thing with it. You need space of football field filled with earth cups to just generate enough amp to run a couple of low wattage led bulbs.
You can't expect wonders to happen with school science experiments..!! This is just for school learning purpose..!! :)
Check out the patents for the telegraph line using Earth batteries. 600volts. And More. Be careful
Wire in parallel and use inverter the ampheres will then be useful. Bury deep in mud and needs to be moist also. Lining 12 up connected will give 12 VDC hook to inverter your away
thats not a fuel cell its a galvanic battery
It’s done wrong.. but the plan is there 😊
What's wrongly done here..I have shown the working model in the video...what is wrongly done ?
@ernestorizo1238 what is wrong done??... Pls you need education property.
wtf
See the scientific reason behind this working in Google.. This works really..!! Also see the video description for more information.
How come it did not light. Wasted effort!
Follow the steps showed in the video properly to see the results
Friends fake😢😢😢
nope, google it. its very real
Please try and comment here...without trying don't just spread false info...I have shown the video with working model..!! Or Google for Soil battery experiments to know the truth...!!
Suitable for Science experiments in School exhibitions
no, It is Real
