[admin]

Wiring up a lemon to produce electricity works. Insert copper into one end of a lemon, zinc into another, connect the two points by wire and you can power a low-output source of electricity, with a typical lemon putting out just under a volt. It’s a great science experiment for kids, is low-buck to do […]
