It has been done an instrument of generating electric power by using a series of Cu-Zn electrode with sea water electrolyte and with the addition of NaHCO3. The instrument was desined to charging and discharged sea water electrolyte that can be used as a sustainable alternative energy source. The first instrument with sea water electrolyte was tested in 78 hours with three times electrolyte charging every 24 hours.Voltage, Current, Power, and Illumination were generated by an instrument with sea water electrolyte, the longer used will be smaller and can only turn the LEDs of 1.2 watts for 3 days. While the sea water with electrolytes added NaHCO3, the longer used will be smaller too, and they can turn on the LED 1.2 watts to 5 days. Corrosion rate with the longer electrolytic sea water used will be higher, while the sea water with electrolytes added NaHCO3 no corrosion Occurs.
