Charge Your Car Battery with Wine

 
part 1
Kip shows you how to charge a battery with red wine.

What You'll Need:
Car Battery
Red Wine
Funnel (or a sheet of paper)

Steps
1. Pop the battery caps off
2. If you dont' have a funnel, make one out of a sheet of paper
3. Gently pour a little red wine in each of your battery cells.

Why does it work? Because red wine is an acidic liquid it allows the electrons to flow freely between the negative and positive battery terminals, which should provide enough energy to start the car.
