aluminum can and copper wire batterys

[The Observer]

B-Rad,

Thanks for the post.

I have had one pill Jar lighting an led for around 40 days.
New water filled 1/2 way about once a week.
It is losing some "running voltage" I call it.
From above .5V   to    below .5 v.

I believe the zinc coating from the steel bolt is leaching into the water...
   therefore I am transitioning from a  Copper-Zinc setup  to Copper-Steel setup.

Best Regards,

This thread about homemade batteries made me come up with a cool experiment.

One of my favorite alleged free energy devices is Ben Schwartz's old rod generator prototype.

I know how their claimed to work but not the materials used to create them. But it should be possible to create a working replica as a water battery, although the power output is far less.
