Question:

Voltaic cell, electrolyte solutions, help please!?

Ok, I‘m in the process of building a voltaic cell for chem lab, and I need to optimize the voltage, and I can‘t use muriatic acid, or sulfuric acid, or anything ‘dangerous‘ as an electrolyte. Out of these solutions which would be the best to use:NaCl aqueous solution (salt water)Lemon JuiceWhite VinegarApple Cider VinegarEpsom Salt water solutionWhite Vinegar + Salt solutionor White Vinegar + Epsom salt solutionAlso, I‘m using copper pipe, and aluminum sheets, can I still use copper wire in the battery?For a salt bridge what‘s the best porous material I can use? I was thinking of getting bottles, pouring an electrolyte in them, setting up the pipe and aluminum sheet in the same bottle, and connecting them with a wire, will that produce electricity, or do I NEED, two separate beakers with solutions and a salt bridge? Thanks for any help!
