Abstract

Chapter I
Introduction

Background of the Study The researchers conducted the study about using Vinegar as an alternative battery.

Vinegar is our main ingredient. Vinegar is a liquid consisting mainly of acetic acid (CH3COOH) and the acetic acid is produced by fermentation and oxidation of natural carbohydrates, is called vinegar; a salt, ester, or acylal of acetic acid is called acetate. Vinegar is now mainly used as a cooking ingredient, but historically, as the most easily available mild acid, it had a great variety of industrial, medical, and domestic uses, some of which (such as general household cleanser) are still promoted today. Vinegar has plenty uses around our home, outside of sauté pan.
Many of us are aware of the many ways that vinegar can clean just about anything, from your windows to the outflow pipes of your air conditioner. However, how many of us realize the health benefits of vinegar?
Fifty years ago, a daily dose of an apple cider vinegar and honey tonic was used to ease arthritis pain. During the last thirty years or so when many "wonder" drugs came on the market, they replaced many of the home made remedies of our grandmothers. As we keep exploring ways for improve health, we are starting to see some medical professionals supporting those old time cures of the past. This is not to say, we should get rid of drugs, but at least, they are qualifying what our grandmothers always knew. And if I have any choices in my life, it will be to go as natural as possible with my health.
Vinegar is a weak acid. History goes back to Hippocrates' time when it was used as a medicine and antiseptic. Here are some areas that can help you by using vinegar in your health.
1. Insect bites or stings will be soothed quickly by pouring vinegar on it.
2. Pour vinegar on sunburn
3. If you drink a teaspoon or so of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water to help with digestion, bowel functions, cholesterol, and even preventing ulcers. With the latter you might have to help a little with the stress of course.
4. Salicylic acid is what you use on warts. Vinegar is acetic acid and works in the same way, however more gently.
5. Just 5% of vinegar mixed in a solution of your choice, can kills 99% of bacteria, 82% of mold, 80% of germs (viruses).
6. A teaspoon or two of vinegar will cure hiccups.
7. Two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and honey mixed with enough hot water to melt the honey has been known to help with headaches and weight loss.
8. Bathing in some apple cider vinegar can help with urinary tract infections. I read someone who didn't have a bath tub, used a used cotton ball with apple cider vinegar and swabbed the urethra and it took care of the problem.
9. Apple cider vinegar has helped skin conditions from eczema to aging brown spots.
10. Apple cider vinegar helps fight against food cravings.

The Vinegar Battery
• How long will it last?

The battery is basically oxidation and reduction. After the metal has been reduced or oxidized (copper and zinc), the battery stops working. Depends on how much current you're drawing from it - the higher the current draw, the less it will last.

Objective/s: This study determined the effectivity of Vinegar as a battery. Specifically, its objectives are the following:

• To be able to power the LED bulb
• To be able to describe the parts of a complete circuit and explain the path of electron flow

Significance of the Study

This research project is important in order for us to know that vinegar can be an alternative battery. People can enjoy the benefits of vinegar in every aspect from sauce and air freshener and etc.
