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.

Electrical conductivity with salt water

Good
If you had to make an electronic device and were being followed
worried that wireless signal jammers could sabotage your wireless remote control activation device
then decided to build an old school analog device that ran off an alarm powered by C or D cell batteries
could you construct a improvised battery to generate the spark?
LOL
Who got shown this in Physics class? Anybody?
i saw this experiment of a small sized battery capacitor , charging it causes it to produce pressure like its being inflated it hardens up and in a serries they act together sort of prventing a sudden discharge so as it all discharges in sync .its strange science behind this. but discharges extremly slow in comparisen to chargeing .a fantasy science projectno less
i have a cell battery. im using salt water in each cell and zinc and copper. i have about 15 cells and i get about 14 to 15 volts but i get no amps/current… so a small christmas light didnt light up
can I use any citric fruits?
what if i use iron and lead instead of cooper and zinc nail
I BOUGHT A LEMON AND I WANT TO USE IT! xD
This saved me from a bad grade on the science fair. Thanks SciShow.
Faker than shit
This guy is so stupifying.
i got hear from a play list on my friends youtube Chanel called school
their name is Sk1p1ng
okay, hold on a second, every video I see about this topic gives different explanations to what the heck is going on.. so let me ask, is this science accurate and if so, why have 10% of viewers disliked the video ?
big blunder big blunder by magnus
So being English I made a strange cell first of its type in the world yes and you and I know we have thousands of videos of battery's more than any time on earth. only one has to change the world I have a solid nylon electrolyte. how it works is the question very few can answer and may be just a few understand please help lots of it.
I Love this video. Because I love science And can help me too:):):):):):):)
well im usin this 4 my science fair cuzzz like why not
how to how to positive energy and negative energy push each other
poratu sikhata
Where do you get the zinc from
this was a trashiest video ever.
How does this work without a separator? And since it does, then why is a separator used in batteries?
HAHAHAHA!! Play this vid on 0.50 ;D
bullshit
starburst stream!
