Description: This build was to prove the concept of a controlled weight drop to power an LED. The build is extremely simple and did give the proof that I was hoping for. I learned a lot from this build and can see where improvements can be applied. A positive experience and well worth the effort. Thanks for watching.

OUbrads | 150 year old battery teaches depolarization @OUbrads | Uploaded February 2012 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
In my attempt to learn about depolorization I made this 1860's version of the Daniell Cell. This variant is called the Gravity Battery or also known as the Crow's Foot Battery. Very simple to build, a wonderful teaching tool as well as a lot of fun. Thanks for watching.
