Best Answer

An electric current can be made simply by dipping two different metals into the salt water so that they are not touching each other. You can try this with a "copper" coin and a "silver" coin and measure a small voltage between them using a voltmeter, but you will get a better result by using a piece of pure copper and a piece of pure zinc which should give a voltage of about 1 volt.
