In brief

You’ll build a simple lemon battery to generate a tiny amount of electricity—no lemons required for the actual power. This classic experiment is perfect for curious learners who want to see basic electrochemistry in action.

Description from the creator

Hank shows us another SciShow: Experiment! This time he's tackling what may be the most cliche, well-known and misunderstood experiment of all time: the lemon battery. The take home message in this one is: the electricity is NOT in the lemon. Just that delicious juice.
