Lemon Battery..!!

One will accept that if i say that world today is totally dependent on the field of Electronics for almost all matters. And the electronic technology we use can be made simplified for our daily life activities.
Today i am going to show one such idea i.e. simplified battery using lemon.



Basically when two dissimilar metals are suspended in acid it forms the battery. So i am preparing a battery which is called as lemon battery.
Lemon contains citric acid and when two wires are connected across it we should get some voltage.
But the voltage we get is very small. And this experiment can be done on other items also like tomato etc which contains acid content in it. The voltage we get for different items are different. And if you ask what is use when small voltage is present as it is not capable of lighting a single bulb also?
But this voltage can be increased but connecting more and more lemons in series so that the voltage produced across them will be large enough to lit a bulb.  And i have my first video tutorial on this experiment. You can see the proof of this post by watching the below video. :)

it is not liquid if it is liquid we can use

no bro we can use it directly no need to extract liquid content from it and use. You can just watch the video also to confirm it..

Thanks for your comment. :)

Wow, that is a small lemon! With larger lemons when I did this with my kids, we were getting around 0.9V. 2 in series gave us 1.6v and when we added 2 more pairs of lemons in parallel we had enough juice to light an LED quite brightly.
