  • In Homemade Metal Air Battery - Part 1 video are shown three easy made metal air batteries,... Aluminium Air Battery, Iron Air Battery and Magnesium Air Battery. In construction I use simple materials and I make cells in same way for observing the voltage of each cell. I show the voltage of all three metal air batteries with alkaline electrolyte KOH and neutral electrolyte NaCl. The materials are easy to find in the store or on internet.

    Ten plus years ago I set myself the challenge to invent simplest and best battery a child or anyone can build for almost no money. My answer was to take empty can of beans, take old metal sharpener (they are usually made of magnesium of Al-Mg alloy), tie wire to that through hole and twist tight (optional, seal exposed copper part of wire with glue), then fill can with half sand putting the sharpener about 2/3 down inside the sand. Then for cathode, jam a lot of steel wool on top of sand and seal on lid so that it compress the steel wool strongly. Make holes in the lid and pour in saturated salt solution. Rusting steel wool acts as air cathode with some catalytic properties. Make positive contact to case and negative wire through hole of lid.

    why are aluminium KOH batteries not rechargeable if Al(OH)4− + 3e− ⇌ Al(s) + 4OH− / it is a reversible reaction. why is it called an air battery? does it have to be without a sealed container? what if it was in a sealed container what would happen?

    • @cayrex
      @cayrex  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes it is reversible, but in what conditions. It is needed a good amount of power to reverse. Metal air is called because they need air to operate. Other battery chemistiys have metal oxides which are more limited in capacity for example. Metal air cells need to be open, or better to say,.... they need to have some hole that the air can go in to react. Most of the time the air cathode is made from activated carbon, some catalyst and teflone layer. By hearing aids zinc air batteries have also holes for air flow, but before use the hole is covered. If you seal the metal air battery you will limit the oxygen and for that reason you will limit the capacity.

      @samosdolphins123 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@cayrex I think I understand professor. So the Aluminium is oxidised by the KOH in air using the oxygen in the air and i suppose this produces some aluminium oxide everytime the battery is in use ? if that is true then i realise whats happening, aluminium oxide ofcourse is very difficult to reduce back to aluminium (as in bauxite to aluminium production) - this would lead to its degredation and would not be a valid rechargeable battery is that right? sorry to deflect from this video but in reference to your other video the zinc bromide battery which is really amazing, would it be possible to use two graphite electrodes with activated carbon instead of zinc ? if so, would this have the same perfromance as the zinc anode? i saw another one of your videos where you mentioned that if we use dual graphite battery then the electrolyte must be a liquid solution, or organic solution.
