Purchase: hilaroad.com Creating a battery from a lemon is a common project in many science text books. Successfully creating one of these devices is not easy. This video demonstrates how to construct and use a lemon battery to light an LED and operate a calculator. hilaroad.com

very nice video, thanks
Super! Thanks for sharing.
how does that work? good though
this is a great project can i use it ???? l0l
Can you use a cu and a zink
plate instead?
cu and a Zn
does it work with just the juice
that was excellent. . thanks for showing this experiment
would it iron and copper work? hehe im doing this as a last minute project hehe
i tryed with 20 lemons =) LED = lit up well
Thanks so much! actually, i’m doing a investigation like that, a little bit different, but this video hepls me so much!! so thank you!
yes.
it works well
so you can cut up a lemon so it represents 4 lemons?
awesomr light saving teqnik
thanks man ! i get a A star for my Science Project ! ty So much ill rate 5/5!! ty!!!
You Rock!!
If it is a normal 1.4V bulb, instead of an L.E.D, will it still light up?
PLS HELP!!
how about oranges?
im going to use this for a science project
you can do the same thing with potatoes.
Alternative energy is urgent use it!
If a lemon produces 1 V, and your bulb needs 1.4V how many lemons will you need to light it up?
Ok, so Zn is being oxidized to Zn 2+, 2 electrons travel through the lemon using citric acid as the electrolyte, but what is happening at the copper terminal? there is no free Cu 2+ to be reduced to copper metal, so what is being reduced?
hmm, will the positioning of the penny and nail matter? meaning the nail on one side, and the penny exactly 180 degrees away…?
the calculator requires less lemons, doesnt the calculator contain current inductors, to increase the current flow?
The position of the metals don´t matter.
The calculator´s LCD and CMOS technologies use very little current. No special parts are necessary to power a calculator with lemons
Normal lights (tungsten) require far more current then LEDs. So a normal light would require far more lemon’s to light up.
so wait… if lemons make electricity.. and there are cars that run with electricity, we could run those cars with that electricity instead of using and producing cars that run with gasoline.. that would be a great way of reducing CO2 in our air because we would also have to plant billions of lemon trees which would of course make photosynthesis.. that would be awesome let’s do it!!!
