You ever use silicone sealant? Ever notice that vinegar smell?
Most silicone sealants will release acetic acid while curing. This gives off a characteristic vinegar like smell.

What hellobruce is saying is that the video shows voltage. Voltage isn't power. Voltage times current equals power. No current was shown.edit on 23-12-2012 by almadd2012 because: (no reason given)

Sorry, missed your post. So essentially you are saying that a battery holds no power?

I have to stick by my single most important observation of the experiment. The power generated continued to increase without additional input! Duplicate and break down and explain the processes of why this is happening and your testimony to the validity or lack there of will be much more convincing as well as appreciated.
Seeming unlikely it's even a simple fuel cell. More indications that it's just an acid battery.

Exactly. If it was a fuel cell it wouldn't work but if it is just residual acid on the plastic (making it an electric cell) it would. It's falsification experiment.
It wouldn't work as there needs to be an insulator to trap the free-electrons - the bottle is making a pretty effective electron trap due to its shape.
He's measuring millivolts.
Though theoretically.....as a battery with two piddly electrodes made of the same metal will never generate more than about 1.1Volts
As Phage stated....there would be a better chance of generating a small voltage via the silicone acting as an electrolyte.

Ah! Another experiment. Go for it.
I have a fence I need painting but it takes a lot of skill. Interested?
Of course. He may have changed the time on his clock.
Nah...he wouldn't do that.edit on 12/23/2012 by Phage because: (no reason given)

Volts are rather easy to get, and quite a simple feat. No soda bottle or special chemicals needed.

Probably not. Although it would depend on what was in the bottle originally and if it had been cleaned.
