How do you make a pickle glow with a battery?

In: Science Experiments [Edit categories]

Answer:

You need quite a bit of electricity to get the pickle to glow (generally on one side only). It takes a lot of electrical current to make the sodium ions excited. It usually requires running AC current directly from a standard household outlet, which is very dangerous. This is one demonstration I won't do as a teacher, but show a video of it instead.
