How Do You Make A Battery From Fruit Juice?
Fruit juice contains acid, which conducts electricity. A fruit juice battery converts chemical energy into electrical energy. To make a fruit juice battery, connect wires between coins inserted in fruit and a voltmeter. Your electric fruit salad may include a lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, apple and banana–or any fruits you choose. Record on paper the results of turning fruit into mini-power plants.

Step 6 Repeat the step by connecting a pair of alligator clips to a penny inserted
