    This is not …
    This is not instructions on how to make a solar cell. There is no photovoltaic reaction. What you’ve made is a battery. (dumbass)

    Is there something else I could use insted of cooper?

    Because I can’t find foiled copper anywhere.

    yes. but it’s a battery, not a solar cell, unfortunately =( And it costs more to make then the worth it puts out in energy.

    Will it work with a gas oven? Cuz I live in the country and we use propane instead of electricity, so that way if the lights go out, we can still cook food lol.

    sorry..im repairing…with Al = 0.560V ;)

    replace clean Cu …
    replace clean Cu sheet and put in Al or another metal.wire is enough too..you will getmore tension (0.050V before, 0.254V after ;) .)BUT.sheet you put in couldnt be too big.if will, than it will behave like Resistor…no voltaic collector and tension will get low…try ;) PS: Try some thing with lemon acid from fresh lemon .sun is not important .but amperage is too low for power something.Ive got cca 3.5V.but less like 30mA (it depends on size of metal sheets).good luck have ;)

    lool”:D i tried it…..its running, but….little strange:D. i made it from 1.5x3cm Cu plates ….tested under 12V 35W point light…… in smooth state its giving cca 0.035V …… strange is that its one moment getting higher, one moment its getting zero… …and then, i turned light on, polarite changed and take same voltage …… loooool?:D

    i think it is a battery that just charges better when warm,as for the energy to bake the copper if u only did it when cooking on the hob will not be wasting so much energy

    Would making about 10 of those and coonecting them all work for greater voltige?

    To say that in less words, salt is an electrolyte. :D

    it’s to act as a …
    it’s to act as a transporter for the ions when electrons are produced from the copper it’s left with Cu2+ ions which have to go to the other copper plate and yeah that’s where they build up.. im uming that because that would be in a normal redox equation.. though yeah just got out of high school so i dont see how this is renewable without putting a powersource in to reverse the reaction.. in my mind it’s more like a rechargable battery but hey what do i know

    Any idea’s on how to do anything on a larger scale?

    Btw, why salt water?

    Nice vid dude.

    This is good info man! Check out this lady who has installed her own solar panels on her house, she`s almost off-grid!

    those of you …
    those of you looking to power your entire house with this, remember youre still using a lot of energy to oxidize (or reduce, idk) the copper with the stove… very cool DIY project though

    No, actually you …
    No, actually you can generate a significant amount of energy using these generators.
    You can easily power smaller appliances with these panels. And if you put more panels, and build your system well enough, you might notice a significant decrease of the power bill.

    hm, great vid, but i guess you should need like a football stadium filled with those sheets to generate enough energy for one house.
