Fruit Power

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this investigatory project is to get electrical energy from fruits and to see which fruit can produce electrical energy and to test if that electricity will be enough to light up a bulb.
Making electricity from fruits is based on the same scientific principles on which all modern batteries work.The result of this investigatory project is successful because we follow the procedure properly and we find a fruit that can produce enough electricity detectable by multi-meter. We conclude that those fruits containing high acid can produce electricity.

Purpose:

The purpose of this investigatory project is to get electrical energy from fruits by experimenting. To see which fruits can produce electrical energy detectable by multi-meter and to test if that electricity will be enough to light up a bulb.

Procedure:

Making electricity from chemicals of fruits is based on the same scientific principles on which all modern batteries work. You insert copper tube in an acidic liquid and produce some electricity from the chemical reaction between your electrodes and electrolyte. The electricity produced in this way can be displayed with a multi-meter than can show millivolts. It may also be able to power up a 1.2 volts light bulb. Making electricity experiment can be used for many different science project.

Result:

The result of this investigatory project is successful because we follow the procedure properly and we find a fruit that can produce enough electricity detectable by multi-meter.

Conclusion:

Those fruits containing high acid can produce source of electricity.
