This experiment investigates whether different fruits can generate electricity. We hypothesize that while fruits can produce electricity, only acidic fruits will do so effectively. Using lemons, oranges, tomatoes, mangoes, apples, and bananas, we tested each fruit with copper and zinc nails to see if they could light a bulb. Despite our expectations, none of the fruits generated enough electricity to illuminate the bulb, except for the lemon and orange, which were most promising. Future experiments may explore larger fruits or different setups to improve results.

Fruits Can MakeElectricity QUESTION HYPOTHESIS MATERIALS PROCEDURE Simon Tovar Cabrera Cadavid Sara Carmona Angel Nicolas Villada Millan PICTURES CHARTS AND TABLES RESULTS AND CONCLUSION
QUESTION Which fruit produces the most amount of electricity? Which fruit produces the least amount of electricity? menu
HYPOThESIS We think that fruits will make electricity, but only a little bit, and that only the acid fruits will make electricity. menu
MATERIALS • Lemon • Orange • Tomato • Mango • Apple • Banana • 6 copper nails or screws (about 5 cm long) • 6 zinc nails or screws or galvanized (about 5 cm long) • Light bulb with wires. menu
PROCEDURE 1.Either roll the fruits on the table gently or squeeze the fruits with your hands gently. DO NOT BREAK THE FRUIT OPEN. You want to get the juice flowing inside the fruits. 2. Put one zinc nail and one copper nail into the fruits. The nails need to be 2 inches apart. Don’t put the nails through the fruit. 3.Wrap one wire around the zinc nail and wrap the other wire around the zinc nail. 4.See if the light bulb lights up. 5.Try this with each fruit. 6.Write down the results on the chart on the other page. menu

RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS None of the fruit produced any energy, although the lemon and the orange were supposed to help the light bulb light up. WE know that the lemon and the orange were suppose to work but we think it can work with bigger fruits or some other light bulb . Maybe the fruit became rotten. we know that acid in fruits can make electricity. menu
