Construction part one- battery

Now we are going to start on our building process. The first step is to attach the copper wires to both positive and negative poles of the battery. 

The copper wires Yucen brought are covered with rubber. Therefore, we are going to use the pliers to cut the rubber off at the end of the wires. 

During this process, we need to be very careful about not cut off the copper part, and not hurt ourselves. 

The battery we have got is AA battery, which has a flat surface at both poles. In order to attach the wires to battery,  we decided to curve the top end of the copper wires by using the pliers. The result is shown in the photo above.  

Next, we were trying to tape the wires to the positive and negative poles of the battery with a insulated rubber tape. 

Then, this is the finished product of our part one process. This will be functioned as a  power generator for our matchbox microphone.
