What Do You Need To Make A Potato Battery. Strip Copper Wiring to Fit Penny. Three pieces of copper wire.
This project is easy bizarre and makes a sweet science fair project or chemistry experiment. To make a potato battery each group needs. How to make electricity with potatoes.
To start off you need to get a regular household potato and cut it in half.
Because a household potato is relatively large we do not need the whole thing and we can use the two halves to make two voltage sources. Insert one copper and one zinc electrode into each of the potatoes as shown in Figure 4. The lemon battery is similar to the first electrical. Cut the potato in half then cut a small slit into each half large enough to slide a penny inside.
