C Battery Light Source
One The Bench – Barebones Light Source
Lab Work – C Battery Barebones Torch Video
Side projects: cleaning up some old solder welds, and built a small light source, see the barebones torch video. I thought I would put together a simple video showcasing how to make a small device that lights up a room using just a C Battery, Paperclip and a lightbulb see more…
I came across this video sometime ago and also saw it pop up in an at home science experiment. This is a simple little experiment with a C battery. Honestly, I would assume you could make this small flashlight with most electronics ‘sized’ batteries. Again, this is just an assumption of course, as I didn’t try the experiment with a difference size myself.
So, choose a battery, grab a paperclip and untwist the metal. Untwist/twist the paperclip so that it can touch both poles, positive and negative, and do the same for a twist around the bulbs base. This will allow the battery’s charging poles to pass the required electricity to light the bulb. Voila! Light in a pinch. For more at home experiments or ‘light in a bind situations’, you can always see our video playlists, or check the video category on our website.
