It is powered with a zamboni cell (according to wikipedia), and similar cells are used for battery powered applications that require large voltages, but tiny amounts of power. They show up in wearable low light imagery systems. In the video, you use an ambiguous expression. When you say nanoamperes of current, were you talking about the average current of the battery? The context of "each strike of the bell" suggests that you should be talking about the charge passed between the bells as the clapper moves from one to the other, which would be some small number of coulombs. Another long term lab demonstration is the Pitch Drop Experiment.

I found an old physics textbook, the 1892 edition of 'Elementary Lessons on Electricity and Magnetism' by Silvanus Thompson (S.P. Thompson). On pages 149 & 150 it mentions that the Clarendon laboratory bell powered by a Zamboni dry pile had been running for over forty years.

Funny joke, but in reality, one of the many things that supposedly kept it running for so long is that the bell uses such little power that the cell is drained just a minuscule fraction of a percent each time. 1 nanoamp @ 10k volts is just 10 microwatts (1/100000 watt). Your phone uses at least 4 watts of power just sitting in sleep mode (screen off).

I sometimes wish the scientists that create these marvels can see their work hundreds of years later.

Although the battery is really impressive. Making a bell ring for 178 years is about the best way to drive your friends mad, for generations to come.

The reason why this battery lasted this long is the very low current. 176 years x 365 days x 24 hours x 1 nanoamp = 1.54 milliampere-hours - that's nearly nothing. A modern phone battery (3 ampere-hours) would run over 342,000 years if the current consumption was only this low. But what really is remarkable is that this battery seems to have very little self-discharge. The alkaline batteries I bought the other day have an expiration date of 2021. Then their capacity is only at 80% even if they've never been used. That makes a self-discharge current of already 13.7 microamps - Though this capacity might even be sufficient to deliver an extra 1 nanoamp for a bell for several years.

Sally, good job on the narration. Your style is personable, and you make the topic quite interesting, while keeping it 'human' as well.

1) The bell draws 1nA of current from the 2kV battery. Power consumption is 2μW 2) It's been running for 176 years so about 1542816 hours. 3) We know that the battery contains at least 1542816*0.000002=3.085632Wh of energy. Pretty comparable to our modern day AA alkaline battery of 2000mAh.

This sounds like a premise for a sci-fi movie... Time travelers who had far superior batteries, going back to the past, only to accidently reveal the formula/technique to a person from the past. And then to "fix the timeline", they decide that rather than "simply" giving it out, they'd go overboard by actually making this battery. And intentionally make it run for so long, that by the time it runs out and people cut it open, they would have already figured out the long batteries and time travel by other means, thus letting history proceed as normal.

Never before had I seen an electrostatic bell running on a battery, that helps explain why it has lasted so long. The bell has such a high impedance, it's basically an open circuit at all times. Perhaps the amount of power inn these batteries is not that impressive, but should these batteries never have been connected to the bells, their shelf life would be outstandingly long. A regular battery in such a setting would likely not run out of power for a long time, but almost certain, it would otherwise decay before all of it's chemical energy has been released. It would get oxidized, it would corrode itself, and all that crap that you can see in any old battery that you can find lying around. Thus imo the most impressive thing about this setup is that the battery has not decayed over time, rather than it not running out of power.

176 years ago, they didn't have a myriad of battery draining apps running in the background.

Imagine how funny it would've been had the battery died mid-filming. :P

they don't know what's it made of, so probably the lazers or infrared light would disrupt the components of the 🔋 and it would stop working. of course they would know how to make these, at the cost of a artifact that has outlived thousands of people and seen countries form and fall apart, the Queen's coronation, The Beatles and Michael Jackson's Birth and Death, a whole century of history.

@@juango500 Maybe, but what's more valuable to humankind at large: a single battery that's been running since 1840, or the knowledge of how it was made; a knowledge that could enable us to reproduce it, maybe even more effectively - like with a higher output but similiar runtime. What amount of energy could that safe us?

@@sorrowandsufferin924 Honestly seeing the time and what the creators wrote, the fact it is still going is probably just because of how it is preserved, the low drain, ... Cutting it open will probably just show us the kind of 19th century battery we already were aware off.

Hey Tom, speaking of the Arctic (or more specifically, the Antarctic), you should do a video on what time zones do at their convergence points.

I'm not sure about the Arctic, but for the Antarctic they use the timezone of the country which owns the closest station. I mean, the information is out there, I just thought it'd be a good video for Tom to do.

I had always thought Leyden jars were the oldest batteries, but I guess they were really capacitors. I was actually thinking of Bagdad batteries, which could have been electrochemical batteries, but they are a couple thousand years old and are there is no confirmation that they really were used for electricity production. It is interesting to consider it though.

What a cool story, and very well told!

Perhaps the bell was very resonant, I seen similar production line electric motors show huge differences in efficiency, when taken apart and struck with a small hammer the inefficient ones ring for a few seconds while the efficient ones ring for ages.

Congrats on your transition, Tom ;) But for real, this is a great video

i love that! Amazing!

No but you can touch it and it will probably kill you. But it would drain the battery and ruin the experiment.

This is pretty good, but I like how Tom moves during the video. Great video regardless :)

Happy 180 years Battery!

Well, it definitely lasts longer than the battery in my cell phone :) Judging from the description it almost sounds a solid state battery. A battery that many firms are working as it has many advantages over our current lithium ion batteries which use a liquid electrolyte. Something that also makes them highly flammable if the separator is somehow breached. Something that makes fires in EVs very hard to put out once the thermal runaway process has started. They can also reignite even if the initial fire has been put out which is why some fire department put EV wrecks in large containers filled with water. It is very interesting to see that this old battery seems to already incorporate technology that we are now trying to reinvent.
