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

A potato battery is a type of electrochemical cell. An electrochemical cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy. In the potato battery‚ there is a transfer of electrons between the zinc coating the galvanized nail that will be inserted into the potato and the copper wire that will be inserted another part of the potato. The potato conducts electricity‚ yet keeps the zinc ions and copper ions separate‚ so that the electrons in the copper wire are forced to move (generate current). It’s

Not only can batteries have a toxic effect on humans but if disposed of improperly they can damage water quality and wildlife. “A battery is a package of one or more galvanic cells used for the production and storage of electric energy by chemical means. A galvanic cell consists of at least two half cells‚ a reduction cell and

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

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.

swirling above Harlem‚ Greg Ridley makes his way across the street after remembering a long lecture from his dad‚ two nights before. Now‚ he stands on the curb‚ rumbling clouds above him‚ making a decision. Should he study his math or enter that abandoned building down the street? As a flash of lightning strikes the sky‚ he walks toward the abandoned building. There he finds a old man named Lemon Brown. Before he gets to know more about Lemon Brown‚ Greg and Lemon Brown get interrupted by a couple
