Survival Tip: How To Make A Battery Out Of a Lemon

A quick simple way to produce an electrical current is by making a Homemade lemon battery and it only takes minutes of your time. Producing electricity is extremely beneficial, especially in times of need. All that is required is a lemon, a galvanized nail, a penny, and some copper wire. This is enough to make one battery that can produce .35 Volts of electricity. Now if you connect multiple lemon batteries together you can create a battery with more voltage. For instance 6 lemon batteries strung together can produce up to 3 Volts of electricity. Here is a video explaining step by step how to create a lemon battery and produce electricity. Enjoy. 




Making a battery can be easy if you know what you are doing. Here's a quick handy tip of the day and it might get you out of a tight spot one day. This can be used to charge electrical devices if done correctly. Many of you may also know about the famous potato experiment and the light bulb. This is very similar and can be done on a number of fruits and foods. No lemons were harmed in the making of this video. ;)

How To Make A HomeMade Battery

In this day and age electricity is something we can't find ourselves without. A beneficial skill to learn is how to make a homemade battery. This can help you in times of power outages, and can be extremely handy in times of survival. Now before we get started the supplies you will need are:

An Ice Tray
13 Metal Screws
1 Sheet Metal Screw
Copper Wire
Water

Take the copper wire and cut 14 strands to about 4-6 inches long. Now wrap the strands around the top of each screw about 2-3 times. After each nail has a copper wire strand wrapped around it, bend the copper wire into a hook formation. Now put one screw with the copper wire around it in each hole of the ice tray, with the hook of the wire resting on the wall separating the holes. In the 2 end holes (doesn't matter which end) place a strand of copper wire in one so it hangs over the edge. In the other place the sheet metal screw with copper wire wrapped around it just like the others. So far you should now have 13 metal screws placed in each hole of the ice tray with copper wrapped around them. One sheet metal screw in one hole at the end, and a strand of copper wire hanging over the edge in the hole next to the sheet metal screw. Now you should have the 14 cells hooked in series up one side and down the other. The copper wire at the end is acting as the positive terminal, while the Sheet metal acts as the negative terminal. Now place water in each hole of the ice tray about half full. The battery is complete and should now be putting off about 9 volts of electricity.

Here is a video for a visual representation on how to make this battery. Enjoy.
