With our economy today, many people are using fuel. So as a way to
save more peoples money, working on this alternative way of getting electricity
in citric acid would be of a great idea.
The two metal components are electrodes, the parts of a battery where
electrical current enters and leaves the battery. With a zinc and copper setup, the
electron flow is out of the penny (copper) and into the nail (zinc) through the
acidic juice inside the lemon. In the exchange of electrons between the zinc and
the copper over the acid bridge, copper accepts two electrons from zinc which
accounts for the current.
Once the Fruit-Power Battery is connected to the LED, youve
completed a circuit. As the electrical current passes through the LED, it
powers the LED and then passes back through all of the lemons before getting
to the LED again. By the way, an LED is polar sensitive. That means an LED
will glow only if the current is flowing through it in the right direction. If you
hook up the LED and it doesnt glow, switch the alligator clips attached to its
legs. That should do it.
Low cost, high thermal and electric conductivity, easy fabricating and
joining, and wide range of attainable mechanical properties have made copper
as one of main materials for lead frames, interconnection wires, foils for flexible
circuits, heat sinks, and traces in PWB in electronic packaging. However, unlike
aluminum oxide, the copper oxide layer is not self-protect so the copper is
readily oxidized. Copper oxidation is considered as a serious reliability problem
in microelectronic package. It produces cracks at Cu-Al interface on the copper
interconnection wire, causes delimitation between the copper lead frames die
pad and molding compound, and induces poor adhesion between the copper
lead frames and molding compound.
