Make your own solar cell
|
Titanium dioxide paste is made and applied onto the glass. |
The paste is spread evenly on the glass in a thin layer (ca. 10 micrometer). |
|
The titanium dioxide layer is heated (not on the picture) and colored. |
Graphite from a pencil is applied on the other glass plate. |
|
Both glass plates (electrodes) are clamped together. |
A drop of electrolyt moves between the glass plates by itself. The cell is a life! |
|
A series connection is made by applying cables. |
And connected to a pocket calculator or sound module. |
The working principle of this solar cell is explained here.
