Abstract

This paper was researched about effectiveness of the electrochemical cell which is composed of the sea water and the Cu/Zn electrode. The electric potential difference between copper and zinc finally reached 0.51 volts. Short current decreased with time. It might depend on the electromotive force decreasing. Confirmed the load resistance and electrode affect in electromotive force and electric current. The resistance which shows a maximum output power was 20[$\Omega$], and the maximum output power from this resistance was evaluated as 0.736mW. In order to calculate the energy which creates from electrochemical cell, charging voltage of the capacitor with various capacitance was investigated. It was found that energy harvesting possibility of the cell which is made of a sea water electrolyte and the copper/the zinc.
