   why does the nail need to be galvanized? iron conducts electricity just as well, no?
   and what else is, if we use silver instead of the galvanized iron, would that increase the voltage of the battery?

   thanks science online youve just finished my investigatory project and by the way those electrolytes make the electricity

   what if u put a lemon in vineger and then connected the wires?

   and if the lemon didn’t rot would it keep producing electricty?

   Another question: What would happen if you put two pennies and one nail in a lemon and plugged all three in?

   I aswell have a Science Project to do. But I did not know what to do, and this video put that right in my head. It’s a nice description, and it gave me my idea.

   But how many lemons would you need to fully power a light?

    Today I was just told I had to do a Science Project on Static or Current Electricity. And I decided to make a Lemon Battery after my mom suggested it. But hell, I did not know how. So I googled it and found this video. Thanks for this! Now I just have to go find some lemons… a few nails… a light…

    hmm, this would be awesome to use at school, if the chance passes by. thanks

    I’m doing this for my science experiment…it seems very intersting.

    wow this is so cool i am going to do this for a fair

    Isn’t 3.5 volts enough to run a portable CD player?

16. ivanUshline - March 30th, 2009 at 9:05 am

    COOL

    haha when life hands you lemons make a battery good stuff

18. Hyperclink - March 30th, 2009 at 9:05 am

    I Saw this in school.
    this is very interesting(:
    yeahh thanks for the science upload.

    if you make a short circuit by connecting the plus and minus, will the lemon heat up?

20. cheetah219 - March 30th, 2009 at 9:05 am

    any galvanized nail will do or just go down to home depot and ask a guy to give you zinc metal. lol its not that hard to obtain.

21. Bistro223 - March 30th, 2009 at 9:05 am

    when life hands you lemons…make a battery! cool vid thanks!

22. Icefishermans - March 30th, 2009 at 9:05 am

    great informative video. thank you.

23. Rudeascute - March 30th, 2009 at 9:05 am

    Thankyou … This really helped me with my science home work..

24. solange808 - March 30th, 2009 at 9:05 am

    thanx i neeeded this bad for my physix assignmentl we have to make an electrochemical cell lol ty!

25. solange808 - March 30th, 2009 at 9:05 am

    OMG thank you sooo much i can finally do my assignemt and i wont fail yay
