In 1936 in the village of Khuyut Rabbou'a, near Baghdad, Iraq; a collection of objects belonging to Parthian era (2000 years ago) was discovered by a German archeologist Wilhelm König and later it was called Parthian battery. This battery consists of a clay pot (protective cover), an iron rod (anode - negative pole) and a copper cylinder (cathode- positive pole) sticking through asphalts. Researchers believe that copper sulfate ,wine, lemon juice, grape juice, or vinegar was used as an acidic electrolyte solution to generate electric current.
Possible uses of Parthian battery
- Power supply for gold plating.
- Electrical shock for pain killing.
- Using jar to protect from magic.
