Fruit Battery
Project Title:
Fruits and vegetables have voltage?

Problem & Purpose:
The purpose of the experiment is to understand how battery works and find out which fruit and vegetables that we eat can be used as an alternative way for a battery source.
I become interested on seeing how batteries where used to power up my flash light and toys.
The information from this experiment will help kids like me to power something for a short period of time and take our thoughts forward in the world of science.

Hypothesis :
My hypothesis is that lemon and orange which contains more juice compared to other citrus fruits will generate more voltage that would be enough to light a simple low voltage light bulb for a very short time.

Materials :
Items needed
Quantity
Lemon

Procedure:

1. Gather all things needed for experiment.
2. With the help of the adult, remove plastic coatings at the end of all wires with scissors.
3. Gently roll each fruit on a table to soften it or squeeze it with your hands. The purpose of this is to make the juice flow inside the fruit without breaking the skin.
4. Take the white cable and tie one end to the Zinc metal contact and the other end of the Copper metal contact.
5. Take the red cable and tie one end to the Copper metal contact.
6. Take the black cable and tie one end to the Zinc metal contact.
7. Insert the metal contacts to the fruit.
8. Watch fruit generate energy to

    For the COAXIAL CABLE I would do the same first few steps by getting the correct length of cable that I would need. Then you would use the cable stripper and stripe off just over a half inch of the outer jacket. I would then insert the center conductor into the center pin. I would crimp the pin twice with a ratcheting crimper. I would then put the connector onto the end of the cable. The barrels of the connector should slide under the shielding. Push the center pin until it clicks into the connector. Slide the ferrule along the sleeve down the cable so that it pushes the braided shielding around the barrel of the connector. I would then crimp the ferule barrel twice, once at the connector side and again at the jacket side. I would then remove it from the crimping tool and examine it. I would check to see that the connector is securely attached to the end of the cable. If I did it properly I shouldn’t be able to move. With…

    Many coins in the pile will make the most electricity. If there are more coins in the pile, then the more electricity it can produce, because the more electrons you have, the more electricity you will get. Batteries are expensive, but you can make one for exactly 24 cents! In this experiment, you will make your own voltaic pile using pennies and nickels. In the data, we will see if the number of pennies and nickels will affect the number of voltage and current.…

    The Working of Wires

    INTRODUCTION Electricity is usually invisible. Except for lightning and sparks, you never see it in daily life. However, light bulbs and a magnetic compass can show you when something electrical is happening. By observing their behavior and making a few assumptions, you can begin forming ideas about electricity. This type of thinking is called “building a model”. INVESTIGATION ONE: WHAT IS NEEDED TO LIGHT A BULB? 1.1 Activity: Lighting bulbs in a loop Insert three D-cells into the battery holder (as in Figure 1.1), and insert two ROUND bulbs (not long bulbs) into a pair of sockets. Use three wires to connect the sockets to each other and to the two “terminals” of the battery holder: 1) the spring inside the case near the red spot, and 2) the metal post on the outside of the case near the blue spot. The bulbs should light and be of similar brightness. The battery, bulbs and wires now form a “closed loop”.…

    When we are kids our parents tend to teach us how important is to eat fruits, what they don’t teach us is what comes along with that. That is for us to experience because only the ones who do, are the ones who can really take something out of it. I am a fruit person; I can say that I like them all but every time I try eating strawberries something interesting happens to me. I am like a little girl looking for what is there to learn about fruits in her first day of kindergarten, but all at the same time, using my five senses.…
