FRUIT-POWERED BATTERY

I.OBJECTIVES:
 Will be able to create a fruit-powered battery and determine the electrical
properties of fruit-powered battery.
 Describe the relationship between an electron and current electricity
 The goal of making a fruit-powered battery is turning chemical energy into
electrical energy, creating enough electricity to power a small LED light.

II.MATERIALS:

1.FLYWOOD
2.LEMON
2ELETRICAL WIRE
1 LIGHT BULB
1 GLUE STICK

III.PROCEDURE (Not Include waste disposal procedure)

1. GLUE STICK THE BOTH SIDES OF THE FLYWOOD RIGHT SIDE.

2. PLACE 2 LEMONS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FLYWOOD WITH GLUE.

3. PUT THE ZINC NAILS INTO 2 LEMONS.

4. PUT A GLUE STICK ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE FLYWOOD.

5. USE THE 2 ELECTRICAL WIRE CONNECTED TO THE LIGHT BULB AND SEE
THE BRONZ AT THE SAME END OF THE WIRE. PUT IT ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE
FLYWOOD WITH THE GLUE.

6. PUT THE WIRE WITH BRONZ IN 2 ZINC NAILS TO CREAT A FRUIT-POWERED

BATTERY USING THE FRUIT LEMON.

WHY NOT INCLUDE WASTE DISPOSAL PROCEDURE? Because this kind of fruit-
powered battery can be recyclable or useful
IV.DATA AND RESULTS

Creating fruit battery science projects is a great way for us to learn about the way
electricity works. A popular concept, these experiments are inexpensive and explore the
way in which the fruit's acid combine with electrodes such as zinc and copper to
produce an electric current. While the current generated by a single piece of fruit is quite
weak, variations of these science projects are available that produce more substantial
amounts of power.
We used 1 plywood, 2 lemons, 2 electrical wires, 2 zinc nails and 1 light bulb.
Our Fruit-Powered Battery experiment failed due to lacking in materials, but we have a
highly chance to make it work. We tried to follow the tutorials that we found in YouTube
but there's something we don't know about our Fruit-Powered Battery.

V.DISCUSSION

Lemon fruits have an acidic content, and the more acidic it is, the better it is for
conducting electricity. This is the reason why even though the nails were not touching
each other, the fruit-powered battery still worked! The fruit contains positively charged
ions. When you inserted the galvanized or zinc nail into the fruit, the negatively charge
ions or the electrons started to move from the fruit to the zinc nail thus leaving the
protons in the fruit, the transfer of electrons generates electricity as soon as you
attached the wires to the nails, and the bulb light up!

VI.CONCLUSION

The lemon battery is similar to Volta’s first battery, but instead of lemon juice, he used
salt water. Electrodes are zinc and copper. Lemon juice acts as an electrolyte. Citric
acid is found in lemon juice. While both salts and acids are electrolytes, acids typically
perform better in batteries.
Like regular batteries, the electrolyte in our lemon battery is lemon juice, because of the
electrolyte, this type of battery is known as a chemical battery. When zinc atoms
become ions they lose their electrons. Moving electrons are referred to as an electric
current, which is what illuminates the bulb.
