This document summarizes a student project that uses osmotic energy from salt water and magnesium to generate electricity. The process involves using magnesium as the anode and aluminum as the cathode placed in a plastic tub with a saltwater electrolyte. When magnesium dissolves in the saltwater, ions are produced that create a flow of electrons between the anode and cathode, generating a current that can power devices like light bulbs. The project highlights advantages like being renewable, environmentally friendly, using abundant resources, and having applications for energy storage and vehicles.

5. Introduction..
• Our project is concerned with energy
production from Salt Water, by ratio 4:1
(Water : Salt)

6. Process
• Magnesium + Water+ Salt+ Oxygen=Current

7. Requirements..
• Magnesium Plate
• Aluminum Cane
• Salt Water
• Connecting Wires with clippers
• Digital Multi-meter
• Electric Bulb
• Plastic tub

8. Why Magnesium And Salt Water?
• Magnesium
• Light Metal
• High milting point
• No corrosion
• No CO₂ production
• Salt Water
• Alternative source of
fuel
• Environmental friendly
• No fuel cost
• No damming of water
required
• Cheap

9. Basic Concepts??
• In this arrangement Magnesium is used as anode,
aluminum is used as cathode and salt water as
electrolyte.
• Since during discharging of electricity, the current
flows out of cathode terminal. That’s why
aluminum is used as cathode in this case.

10. How Process Occurs??
• First of all Salt is dissolved in Water and
“Ionization” occurs.

12. What Happens Next??
• During chemical reaction Mg lose 2 electrons
(Mg⁺²) because Chlorine (Cl) is oxidizing agents
since they tend to remove electrons.
• Water dissolves in ions and (OH⁻¹) and (H⁺) is
produce. As a result Mg(OH)₂ is produced. While
the generated hydrogen ions tends to move
toward aluminum Cathode, and due to these
motion of ions (electrons + protons) Current is
produced.
