Can we help Captain Kirk power
up his Communicator using lemons?
A lemon Penny Zinc coated screws Multimeter 2 alligator clips
1. Insert penny & zinc coated screw into the
lemon.
2. Connect 2 wires with alligator clips to the
penny and the screw.
3. Connect the Multimeter to the other end of
the two wires.
4. Measure the voltage
All batteries have a "+" and "-" side. The Lemon Battery in the picture shows
Copper = positive (+)Zinc/Steel (eg. paper clip) = negative (–)
Yes, now we can help Captain Kirk get back
to his spaceship ! Yippie!
1.5 V + 1.5 V + 1.5 V + 1.5 V =
1. Connect the penny of one lemon to the zinc screw of the next lemon.
2. Measure voltage.
3. Repeat to connect 3 lemons.
4. Measure voltage again.
( You should have one lemon with penny unconnected at one end and one lemon with zinc screw unconnected at the other end. )
Use alligator clip to connect the lemon battery to the Digital Clock.
