The Fruit Battery March 19‚ 2007 7th grade Abstract My objective was to determine which fruit would make the battery for a clock. Procedure 1. Gather all things needed for experiment. 2. Wash hands for safety. 3. Take the clock module and place fruit in the two holders. 4. Remove plastic coatings at the end of all wires with scissors. 5. Take the black cable and tie one end to the Zinc metal contact. 6. Take the blue cable and tie one end to the Zinc metal

Using Fruits ( Lemon‚ Orange ) As Battery Purpose To demonstrate how an electrical current can be generated using citrus fruits (such as lemons or limes) that is strong enough to power a small light bulb. Additional information Batteries are devices that store chemical energy and convert it to electrical energy. Consisting of one or more voltaic cells‚ batteries come in various sizes and forms and are integrated into most electronic and portable devices. Electrical current is the flow

Battery Power Kevin McDonald Question How much power can I get from a tomato‚ a orange and a lemon and can it light up a small light bulb? Hypothesis If I put a copper nail and a zinc nail in a tomato‚ orange or lemon it should be able to power a small light bulb. Materials *few different citrus fruits *copper nail *galvanized (zinc) nail *LED light or opaque light bulb with a 2 inch lead *crocodile clip or electric tape *micro ammeter Procedures Step 1.Prepare your fruit for the

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.

ABSTRACT A Fruit battery is a device used in experiments proposed in many science textbooks around the world. It is made by inserting two different metallic objects‚ for example a galvanized nail and a copper coin‚ into an ion bridge (for example a lemon‚ a potato or paper soaked in salt water or acid). The copper coin serves as the positive electrode or cathode and the galvanized nail as the electron-producing negative electrode or anode. These two objects work as electrodes‚ causing anelectrochemical

10. Errors and Redesign. Throughout this experiment a number of random and procedural errors were apparent; these errors could have affected the results of the experiment in a number of ways. One experimental error that occurred during the experiment was that some flies became stuck in the food source and died. The main cause of this was the fact that the fly vials were stood up (vertically) before the flies had fully recovered from the anaesthetic. This could be overcome in future experiments by

A battery‚ which is actually an electric cell‚ is a device that produces electricity from a chemical reaction. In a one cell battery‚ you would find a negative electrode; an electrolyte‚ which conducts ions; a separator‚ also an ion conductor; and a positive electrode. Batteries are made of magnesium dioxide‚ graphite‚ electrolytes‚ zinc oxide and a paper soaked in an electrolyte solution. All of this is sealed in a insulated tube for safety. http://answers.ask.com/consumer_electronics/other/what_are_batteries_made_of

Environmental Impacts of the Battery The creation of the battery was invented in 1859 by a man named Gaston Plante. Over the years as technology advances so do they batteries adding different materials like nickel‚ zinc‚ lead‚ graphite‚ carbon and toxic acids such as acid‚ magnesium dioxide‚ and hydrochloric acid making it one of the most helpful inventions known to mankind. Throughout our everyday lives a lot of things we use require a battery. The disposable battery converts chemical energy into

POTATO BATTERY Abstract a. Purpose To lessen the consume of electric charge b. Procedure We insert copper and zinc electrodes in to the potato‚ close but not touching each other. We use Clip leads to connect our electrodes to the Multimeter to measure voltage between two electrodes or current passing through the multimeter. For this experiment we removed the shell of a broken AA battery for our Zinc electrode. (Make sure to test your multimeter by connecting its Positive and Negative
