Making a Lemon Battery Light an LED - Full How-To

This is a complete step by step instruction guide for how to make power out of lemons. As seen in the video, it also works with potatoes, apples, and actually lots of other fruits and vegetables. NOTE: Unlike many textbooks suggest, you will never be able to light a typical incandescent light bulb with lemons. You simply can not get the amperage and the wattage to power it. To light something, you have to use low wattage LED's like i did.

i don't think the clips matter very much but it is very important what kind of LED you use. I can't recall exactly which type I used, but you need to find the lowest voltage LED's you can. Even more important that the voltage however is the current that the LED requires. You also need a very lower current (low amps) LED, because the circuit does not produce much current.

@simmy2109 The LED's probably won't directly have information printed on them about their current rating (amps). Look instead for LED's with very low numbers of Watts. Low Watts will mean a low voltage AND a low amperage, so it is exactly what you want.

btw thats series not paralell

@JrabbProductionsRS good point..... typo i guess

lemons in mexico are 3.60 volts

what are the wires called?

[CognitiveNetwork]

100 batteries in series... Cause of death... electrocution by lemons. Heart failure.

But in Norway, 1 lemon is more expensive than a package (x2) of 1,5 V batteries.
