A LEMON BATTERY

This can only provide an extremely low power.

Use copper and zinc (or galvanised iron which is zinc plated)

Each lemon gives about 0.6 volts.

I have seen a circuit where it powered a single transistor radio for a few days.

Only try this in a country where lemons are cheap.

For higher voltages buy more lemons.

Are oranges better than lemons?
