Purpose: To try to charge an ipod or other electronic device using Gatorade and an onion.

Hypothesis: I think the Gatorade will fully charge the device because of the electrolytes in the drink.

Variables:
1) Independant Variable: The size of the holes in the onion.

2) Dependant Variable: How fast the onion absorbs the Gatorade. If I make the holes in the onion bigger, the Gatorade should absorb faster.

3) Control Variables: The amount of Gatorade used (2 cups) and the size of the onion.

Materials:

Large onion
2 cups of Gatorade/Electrolyte drink
Ipod with Usb charger
Screwdriver
Shot Glass
Measuring Cup
Towel

Procedure:

Step 1: Use the screwdriver to poke a hole into one side of the onion all the way into the middle. Twirl the onion around and repeat the process to the other side. This will allow the liquid to travel freely through the onion.

Step 2: Place the onion into 2 cups of Gatorade. Make sure that the holes are submerged. Let the onion soak for about 20 minutes. It will start to absorb some of the drink and will likely sink to the bottom. It should of absorbed about half the liquid.

Step 3: Take the onion out of the fluid and dry the outside with a towel. You want to get off all the excess fluid. Place the onion on a support (shot glass)

Step 4: Firmly press the USB cord into the top of the onion. It will take a couple seconds for the power to travel through the cable. The ipod should begin charging.

Results: The first couple times the ipod never charged. But after i left the onion in the Gatorade all night it finally worked.

Conclusion: My hypothesis was correct. The Gatorade charged the ipod.

Application Statement: If you can’t get to a computer to charge your ipod or if your broke down and your ipod is out of charge, you can try this.
