Hi Daniel

1) What is the material of that paper clip? was it platinum? Maybe not, cause
you mentioned that the (-) electrode corroded.

2) Why the voltage was 45 volt instead of 81?

3) How much they paid for 9V batteries? $2? or $3 or $5 if then it going to be
$18 to $45.  How long the batteries last?
