when i did an experiment, the grapefruit had more electricity than a lemon —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.9.171.178 19:45, 26 January 2008 (UTC) The voltage of this battery is higher than an Zn/Cu electrochemical battery
Lemon oil aroma does not influence the human immune system, [44] but may contribute to relaxation. [45] An educational science experiment involves attaching electrodes to a lemon and using it as a battery to produce electricity. Although very low power, several lemon batteries can power a small digital watch. [46]
The Baghdad Battery is the name given to a set of three artifacts which were found together: a ceramic pot, a tube of copper, and a rod of iron. It was discovered in present-day Khujut Rabu , Iraq in 1936, close to the ancient city of Ctesiphon , the capital of the Parthian (150 BC – 223 AD) and Sasanian (224–650 AD) empires, and it is ...

Schematic diagram of a copper–zinc voltaic pile. Each copper–zinc pair had a spacer in the middle, made of cardboard or felt soaked in salt water (the electrolyte). Volta's original piles contained an additional zinc disk at the bottom, and an additional copper disk at the top; these were later shown to be unnece
Galvani, and his nephew Giovanni Aldini, used the frog galvanoscope in their electrical experiments. Carlo Matteucci improved the instrument and brought it to wider attention. [ 11 ] Galvani used the frog galvanoscope to investigate and promote the theory of animal electricity , that is, that there was a vital life force in living things that ...
