In this short but fascinating video “The King of Random” (Grant Thompson) shows us how to make a small battery from really basic materials! It works well enough that it can be used to power an LED light or a calculator! This is one neat trick that anyone can try at home. A battery can be made in the same way with more pennies, which will increase the voltage, so it’s possible to use this simple idea for all sorts of devices. It could even help you out if you’re looking for inspiration for a science project!


There are two methods to try here – the second avoids using power tools so it can be done anywhere, in true off-grid fashion! 😉

All you need are some zinc washers, pennies, tape, cardboard, vinegar – it doesn’t sound very promising so far but very little skill is involved and it works really well! In fact, within a few minutes you will have a small battery that can power an LED for 17 continuous days!

UK pennies are made from copper as well – with a steel core since 1991 – so these would work just as well as the US variety for making your own battery.

The method used here is based on the very first “official” battery ever made – the “Voltaic Pile”, invented by Alessandro Volta over 200 years ago! Copper and Zinc discs were stacked in alternating pairs with felt or cardboard discs in between that were soaked in salt water – the video shows us that vinegar works just as well as an electrolyte.

I say “official” because there are legends and documents which allude to the fact that batteries might have been used in ancient times. These are controversial and disputed by scholars, but make fascinating reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baghdad_Battery


There are lots of other simple ways to make electricity at home – we found a site with lots more information about the science behind batteries and clear instructions on how to make all kinds of battery cells easily at home, including one that uses a glass of coke! Here’s the science part: A battery cell works when it is connected through a device (such as a light bulb) because the zinc electrode gradually dissolves (and produces positively charged ions) in the liquid electrolyte – a balancing negative charge flows through the wire to the copper electrode at the other end of the battery, giving electrical power to the device it passes through on its way there. Hydrogen gas is also produced at the surface of the copper disc.

This Crazy Off Grid Device Literally Makes Drinkable Water From Fresh Air:

According to NASA, the U.S. is expecting a 100-YEAR LONG MEGADROUGHT.

It's already begun. Ask the farmers in California. They know.

Every survivalist knows that water is of critical importance. You NEED an independent water source that you can count on!

As an interesting "survival rehearsal" - imagine that you turned the tap on right now and nothing came out. How long would you last?

But what if there was another water source literally hidden in plain sight. That's right, I'm talking about the atmosphere!

The amazing thing about getting water from the natural moisture in the air... is that it is ALWAYS available.

This gives you real water security!

😳 What Tinnitus Does To Your Brain Cells (And How To Stop It)

After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.

As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Even more interesting: The reason why top army officials are not deaf after decades of hearing machine guns, bombs going off and helicopter noises…

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...

Lost Ways Of Survival Video

An amazing discovery in an abandoned house in Austin, Texas: A lost book of amazing survival knowledge, believed to have been long vanished to history, has been found in a dusty drawer in the house which belonged to a guy named Claude Davis.

Remember... back in those days, there was no electricity... no refrigerators... no law enforcement... and certainly no grocery store or supermarkets... Some of these exceptional skills are hundreds of years of old and they were learned the hard way by the early pioneers.

We've lost to history so much survival knowledge that we've become clueless compared to what our great grandfathers did or built on a daily basis to sustain their families.

Neighbors said that for the last couple of years Claude has tried to unearth and learn the forgotten ways of our great-grandparents and claimed to have found a secret of gargantuan proportions. A secret that he is about to reveal together with 3 old teachings that will change everything you think you know about preparedness:

Do not, I repeat do NOT do what these lunatics did! Can you spot the "fatal mistake" they made?

There's a general belief that if you bury a shipping container you can create an awesome root cellar / storm shelter / survival bunker.

But is a shipping container strong enough to handle the pressure?

I Can't Help Showing This Off:

If you haven't heard of Claude Davis yet do yourself a huge favor and watch this video.

One of the smartest guys I ever had the pleasure of meeting, Claude set-up a unique prepping system that changed his life forever.

I already tried it myself and let me tell... you I was completely blown away... His surprising tactics could make your life easier and give you the peace of mind you deserve.
