The Bio-Battery - Power for the future. (So easy a 10 year old can do it.)

Step 8 Preaparing the Wiring.

1. Utilizing an old phone cord, the red and black wires were striped out and prepped to be used on the box.

**Info Note** The wiring itself can actually act a resistor. if the wire is thick and is a long piece there is more resistance to the current (water) flow so not as many electrons flow to the light. Therefore the light is dimmer than we would like.

2. In order to reduce resistance, the wires in a telephone cord were used. Telephone cord is solid copper and is very small.

**Info Note** Solid wiring transfers electrons more easily than braided wire, like speaker wire for example. Couple that with the low voltage we are using and the very small size of the wire reducing resistance even further so we get the best flow we can.

3. As you can see in the picture below Holly has to drilled two holes in opposite sides of the box (one hole on each side). These holes will route one positive wire and one negative wire. Remember again the red wire is Positive "+" and the black wire is Negative "-."
