Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. BATTERY BASICS INTRODUCTION 1800 – Alessandro Volta discovered the chemical battery by creating a portable electricity source known as a “Voltaic Pile”. A Voltaic Pile is a device using pieces of silver and zinc separated by moist cloth soaked in an electrolyte (in Volta’s case, sea water) solution. Humphry Davy later proved that the electricity from voltaic piles was caused by the chemical reaction, and not the different metals, as first assumed.

Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. BATTERY BASICS Voltaic Pile In the lemon experiment, the lemon juice allows the metal plates to gain or lose electrons. Then, those electrons travel over to the other plate (via the electrolyte solution, lemon juice), forming a redox reaction. The electrolyte is electrically the same on both sides, but the reaction creates a different electrical potential on the two different plates, so connecting them shows a voltage difference.

Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. The Lemon Cell (Battery) Assembly Procedures Step 3: Using a sharp knife, make two slits on one end of the lemon, as shown. Be careful not to cut yourself! Step 4: Insert a copper strip into one of the slits and a zinc strip into the other, as shown. Use an egg crate to hold the lemons. SAFETY
