INTRODUCTION

We say that Vinegar is useless because it is just used in the kitchen but Vinegar can be made from almost anything which contains sugar or starch. It is made from many different things; fruits, grains, roots even wood. In the technique called FERMENTATION, it can be made directly from sugar but is best made by first converting the sugar into alcohol and then turning the alcohol into vinegar. The conversion from starch is a little trickier, but the process shares a lot of similarities. We all know that the world is now facing an energy crisis and everyone is trying to do something about that. Now you can show everyone that electrical energy or electricity can be made from air and vinegar. After all, vinegar are freely available everywhere. If you wanted to save money from paying large amount of bill , this product will assure you
That even a small amount of vinegar will not be wasted because this product is made of
Vinegar .

In this study , the researcher discovered that Vinegar is not just for preserving food or to use as a salad dressing. There are many healing functions that you can use it for. It cleans and sanitizes, it deodorizes and is a natural way to get rid of ants, other insects, and unwanted weeds. It is of course used in pickling but it also helps to kill unwanted bacteria like ecoli when you marinate meat.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This Study “ VINEGAR BATTERY” is beneficial for the following people :

Benefits of vinegar
There are many ways to utilize the virtues of vinegar. Vinegar is not just for preserving food or to use as a salad dressing. There are many healing functions that you can use it for. It cleans and sanitizes, it deodorizes and is a natural way to get rid of ants, other insects, and unwanted weeds. It is of course used in pickling but it also helps to kill unwanted bacteria like ecoli when you marinate meat.
Since then, this accidental discovery has been of great advantage to all of us and we cannot imagine a day without vinegar.

Discovery of Vinegar
There is no official record about the invention of vinegar and it is considered as an accidental discovery. However, there is much folklore that surround about how people discovered vinegar.
Legend states that a courtier in Babylonia discovered wine that was formed from unattended grape juice. This lead to the eventual discovery of vinegar. History also states that before 5000 BC, a civilization of ancient Babylonia used vinegar as a cleaning agent. The Babylonians later discovered that vinegar slows or stops the action of bacteria that spoils food and so they started using it as a preservative. They also used it as a condiment.
Another legend that surrounds the discovery of vinegar includes that Caesar's armies used vinegar as a beverage. The Egyptian queen, Cleopatra, demonstrated its solvency powers by dissolving precious pearls in vinegar and won a wager that she could consume a fortune in a single meal.
Helen of Troy apparently bathed in vinegar to relax. Hannibal, the famous African General, used vinegar to help his army cross the Alps. According to the writings of Titus Livius, a historian who lived around the time of Christ, obstructive boulders were heated and drenched in vinegar to crack the boulders into small pieces in order to allow them to be easily moved away
