Galvanic Battery, Simple method for Energy from tap water

A friend of mine using this simple method has lighted a LED and a Calculator.. using 4 cups of water plus a little salt. He also got some good amps and volts by using simple tap water but without the salt it wasn't possible to light the LED.

So energy from water is achievable through this simple method, althought it lacks power.

Maybe if we connect together more cups?

Most of us can't read the description - Maybe a translation of what he's done would help?

I made one of these last summer for fun.  It had 135 cells and kicked out about 120 volts.  The whole battery was about 3 X 9 X 9 inches contained in a wood box.  The cool thing is I made it adjustable so it could be dialed for any number of volts at different amps.  It ran for about 3 months before the metals were consumed which just need rinsed out and new metals inserted into each cell. I used air conditioning filter material to seperate the metals in each cell so each cell was waffer thin.  worked pretty good.

He just has copper and zinc in saltwater in series.  He has about 3 to 4 volts, amps depends on area of metal.

The setup in the video was:
1 copper plate and 1 aluminum plate (taken out from the back of computer boxes) in each cup

To connect the cups/cells he used a simple copper wire that connected the copper plate in the first cup with the aluminum plate in the second cup and so on..


Hugo Chavez, do you have a video or detail instructions of how to reproduce your galvanic setup?
