Lemon Fruit as Alternative Batteries

I. Introduction
Lemon `citrus limon` is an example of citrus fruit. As we all know, citrus fruit like
lemon can help us to cure cough and relieve the pain of colds. However, we still don`t
know what the chemical components are. According to the past researchers it contains
positive and negative ions, acid, nitrogen and water. As far the researchers know,
lemon can be an alternative battery to light small bulbs. They tend to use it in daily
class experiment and activity.
This proect will be revised, the researcher will try to observe the result if the
investigator will use bigger or more than one lemon to light a flourescent or a bigger
bulb. At this moment, the researcher still don`t know the result, but one thing is for
sure it will light if the experiment and methods are accurate and precise.
II. Methods
1. Set the lemon on a flat, level surface.
!. Insert the galvanized nail through the lemon peel and into the center of
the lemon making sure that the point does not exit through the other side.
3. At the opposite end of the lemon, using the paring knife make a small slit
in the lemon peel.
4. Insert the penny into this slit and continue to push until only aout a
!uarter of the penny remains aove the peel.
". In order to see the amount of voltage created y the lemon attery, a
voltage meter is re!uired.
#. Attach the red $ire clamp to the penny and the lack $ire clamp to the
nail in order to see the lemon attery at $ork.

IV. Implication


Lemon can be used as an alternative source of energy to light a bulb. This makes
sense to those people who are experimental and eco friendly. *sing `citrus limon` is
one of the simplest way to produce current. +oreover, citrus fruit like lemon is easy
to find to market. #ot like other materials, hard to find and very rare.

The investigator tried three set ups to prove if lemons can lighten up a bigger bulb.
At first, it`s not easy to set up two lemons, much more than three. The researcher put
it together and tested it by voltage gauge, voltmeter. -ou`ll notice the big difference of
a lemon compared to two lemons. And as a result, more lemons are preferably to use
because of high voltage and it can light bigger bulbs.
