Make Electricity from fruits
Introduction:
This project is one of the most famous

electricity projects that can be performed successfully by most students in the age of 10 to 16. Since the same method is used to get energy from many fruits and chemicals, this project has many names. Following are some of the other names or titles for this project:
Fruit power or fruit battery
Convert Chemical energy to electrical energy
Potato battery or Lemon battery
Procedure:
Making electricity from chemicals is based on the same scientific principles on which all modern batteries work. You insert copper and zinc electrodes in an acidic liquid and produce some electricity from the chemical reaction between your electrodes and electrolyte. The electricity produced in this way can be displayed with a multi-meter that can show millivolts. It may also be able to power up a 1.2 Volts light bulb. Making electricity experiment can be used for many different science projects. Following are some additional research that you can perform in relation to making electricity from fruits and chemicals.
1. Experiment to see which fruits can produce electricity.
4. Replace electrodes of your kit with other metals such as coins, nails to see which other metals can be used as electrodes.
2. Experiment to see which fruit juices can produce electricity
5. Test to see if such electrodes can light up a bulb.
3. Experiment to see which other liquids such as detergents and drinks can produce electricity.
6. If you have access to a multi meter, check to see how many volts electricity is being produced by fruits.
Material and equipment:
Material and equipment that you need for this project are:
Copper Electrode
Zinc Electrode
Multi-meter capable of measuring low voltages
Flashlight light bulb 1.2 Volts
Screw Base or socket for light bulb
Wires
Alligator clips
Board for mounting the base and the bulb (optional)
You can purchase the material locally from a hardware store or buy it online. Make electricity science kit of MiniScience.com contains all the above material
Make electricity Kit: $28
When your science project is making electricity, the biggest challenge is to see the product of small amount of electricity that you produce. Make electricity kit can make it easy for you to complete your project.
Make electricity science kit contains all material that you need in order to successfully experiment making electricity by a chemical reaction. Some chemicals are harmful and dangerous! that''s why we recommend you to use household chemicals such as acetic acid (Vinegar), baking soda, fruits and fruit juice.
WARNING
This kit contains small and sharp objects. keep it out of reach of small children. Adult supervision is required.
The purpose of this science kit is to simplify the process of finding and purchasing material that you need for your experiments.Analog Multimeter does NOT need battery in order to test voltage and current. You will need a battery to test the resistance.
