Nice job man! I am just starting to explore electronics at 15 years old, and you are an inspiration for me to keep with it!

Thanks! But what ever you do, never give up, specially when you fail. Use your failures as your guide and try and try again, later on you will succeed.

You might want to try some Borax and see how that works out. I'll have to try this sometime. I expect you would also do well to try recharging it too, although if you're using water obviously that's not in short demand. Just some ideas to play around with.

The battery is actually not powered by the water. The water and dissolved salts are merely the electrolyte. He's consuming his anode. The title of the post is misleading. It should say, aluminium foil powered battery.

That's a very astute observation! I realized this too when i started reading this "ible". I would think gatorade or powerade would work very well too, as each are chock full of electrolytes.
