    **DO NOT DRINK THAT JUICE!!!**
    The acid reacts with the metals producing electric energy. The zinc dissolves into the lemon and there are other electrolytic processes. The lemon turns relative poisonous!!!
    What you can do with the juice is building a Voltaic pile
    Stack discs of zinc, fabric and copper and soak the fabric in the juice. Stack then to a column and you have got a voltaic pile which has a much better performance than some wire ends and small nails. The bigger the surface and the smaller the distance between the electrodes, the more power you can draw.
    I guess 20 to 25 13.8V piles in parallel should at least power the lights of the car.

    I've seen far fewer lemons light up an LED just fine. I think your zinc electrodes oxidized before you could start the experiment. Although, I've never seen halved lemons used. I've only seen whole lemons used. Halving them probably destroys their potential. You probably can also use other metal in the place of zinc like aluminum. Any metal with a high electrolytic potential to copper should work. An any rate, you should have done tests with less lemons on smaller loads before stepping up to starting a car.

    • @MadScientist267
      @MadScientist267 Před 6 měsíci

      Cutting them in half doesn't "destroy" anything or even degrade it really.
      Citric acid is just a *very* poor electrolyte, not to mention they aren't using very much electrode surface area whatsoever.
      Each of these "cells" may be capable of a few mA, let's be generous for math purposes and call it 10mA.
      That's very generous, as they effectively pointed out, but I'm going to assume something resembling "real" plates are used, rather than a stab of copper wire and a zinc plated bolt.
      A typical 4 banger starter draws 200-300A in most conditions.
      Let's say it takes 20 lemons in series to reach a nominal (+/- 5%) 12V.
      You would need 15 thousand of these *strings* of 20 lemons to get close, assuming the abilities of a single lemon as stated above.
      That's *300 thousand* lemons, just to have hope. The actual number is likely a bit higher just because there's so much room for error when attempting something like this. Doing it with copper wire and bolts, the number is probably in the 2 or 3 digit millions range.
      Gonna need a bigger garage and a copper and zinc mine to make it happen 🤣

    Instead of placing one electrode in a lemon, you can put more as if in parallel. This will give more amperage in each series. If you place the zinc and copper electrodes close to each other, the amperage increases significantly. In the video, you put them at both ends of the lemon a long distance, this is causing a little amperage. This type of battery is a variation of the world's first invented battery. In the first prototype were arranged metal circles, copper and zinc on top of each other separated by a thin cloth soaked in acid. The large surface area of ​​the circles and the small distance between them provide enough amperage to make the battery usable. So you need to think about how to increase the electrode area in the lemon. My suggestion is to put multiple zinc nails in one half of a lemon and many copper nails in the other and tie them together, instead of just one . This will use the area of ​​all nails. Alternatively, use zinc and copper circles and slice the lemons into thin circles and place them between the metals.

    1,5A is way too low for engine to start, you should chack amperage of 1 lemon before starting project to see if there is a point of buying 70kg of lemons.
    Your math is also off by x1000, you had 1500mA, not 1500uA...

    • @StofStuiver
      @StofStuiver Před 5 lety +2

      Which means youd need 60 of these sets to get to 90 amps. Not 66.600.
      Also they could increase capacity with decent zinc rods and not cutting the lemons in half, so the water doesnt evaporate quickly.
      And it would be a lot better to solder all joints and get thicker cable for the 2 main leads, bc they will lose quite some energy

      @@Techie1224 that's amperes per HOUR tho, a car starter can pull about 300A at once. In fact car batteries are made for this instantaneous huge peak that is easily 10x their rated hour capacity, but ain't gonna resist many full cycles (from full to empty).
      I think a normal car battery can even resist short circuits without damage if it doesn't last longer than a normal cranking time.
      If they measured the short circuit current flowing they would know how much cranking amperes they have available, and I think that's what he did and reached like 1.5A only, probably because they oxided so quickly during the making of the battery itself.

    For anyone thinking about measuring amperage that way, don't. Usually you'l blow the fuse in your meter, and possibly damage the power source. When measuring current, you should be measuring what is supplied to a particular load. Hooking the supply directly to the meter short-circuits the supply, which usually results in popping something.

    • @Kalvinjj
      @Kalvinjj Před 5 lety +1

    could press the juice out of the lemons and put it in a big container then get a big piece of zink plate and a copper plate and dunk that in the container the moment you want to start the car , that you can do in a second and xhould give you the peak power for the time it takes both plates to oxidise , might need quite a few plates in parralel to get the juice out of the juice

      Normal car battery has 10-13 mm thick connector... I know it's not same as radius what equals as the contact area, but it won't need really thick plates... Once the surface oxidizes, it doesn't matter how thick the plate is as the surface acts as an insulator.

    Instead of the tiny wires, use sheets of zinc and copper. The more plate area you have, the more current you should be able to get. Also, the distance between the plates affects how much current you get.
    You could also get the juice from the lemons and make a proper battery: Zinc, paper divider, copper, paper divider etc. and then fill it up with juice. You could do it with about ten or twenty lemons I'm guessing.

Of these applications, they are most commonly utilized for increasing horsepower in street vehicles and race applications. While the first practical centrifugal compressor was designed in 1899,[1] centrifugal superchargers evolved during World War II with their use in aircraft, where they were frequently paired with their exhaust driven counterpart, the turbosupercharger."
