    Cave Jonson would be proud.

    Eeewww. Someone is still using i-products.

  3. merito says:

    How many milliampere-hours has lemon?

  4. Disco Harvey says:

    Just because you can? Or are 17 lemons cheaper than a $2 USB wall charger?

  5. asunachan says:

    Alright, I’ve been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade – make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I’m going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

    Actually it’s not the lemons providing the energy, it’s the dissimilar metals that make the wires. The lemons just provide the electrolyte.

    I didn’t know you could wire lemons in series. What do you do when one goes bad?

    • Thomas Ryan says:

      They don’t really stop being conductive until they dry out.

      The acid in the lemon acts as a catalyst between the zinc and copper. The reaction will last as long as catalyst lasts.

      Even if the reaction stops the fluids in the lemon should be able to continue conduction electricity so the connection won’t be interrupted.

    So, can I crack open a bunch of batteries to make kludge lemonade? MMMM so tart it zaps your tounge!

  9. Well… you’ve got to factor in the internal resistance. I usually have a lemon next to me, and my meter on the other side of the room. Now I don’t have a lemon (It’s on the tree. Outside. and its raining) and my meter is next to me. Otherwise, I’d test the resistance of the lemon and the voltage produced and calculate the loss across the 17 lemons (which I am going to assume have similar resistances). Though the resistance drop is very little, the voltage produced is too. I once generated .5V across a pickle. Then I zapped it with 7.5kV at 30mA. Then I eated the pickle.

    When life gives you lemons…. make batteries. God now you made me want to stab my meter into lemons… and make lemonade! Oh well… I’ll just test my own resistance… 167.2 kohms.

    Lulz.

    How many lemons does it take to fully charge an ipod? Is that enough? What about potatoes? How many potatoes would it take?

    Lemons running Apples

  12. Me says:

    It’s an Open Source project, isn’t it? Forks are coming…

  13. Itchy says:

    when life gives you lemons, you recharge your apple XD
