>And how about batteries with household chemicals (ie not sulphuric)

See If you can find a copy of "Things a Boy Can Do With Electricity" by
Alfred Morgan (1951).  This has plans for batteries, rectifiers and 
photoelectric cells, all in jars with very basic chemistry.  Nothing with
gain, however.

Lots of other delightful things too!
