**DO NOT DRINK THAT JUICE!!!** The acid reacts with the metals producing electric energy. The zinc dissolves into the lemon and there are other electrolytic processes. The lemon turns relative poisonous!!! What you can do with the juice is building a Voltaic pile Stack discs of zinc, fabric and copper and soak the fabric in the juice. Stack then to a column and you have got a voltaic pile which has a much better performance than some wire ends and small nails. The bigger the surface and the smaller the distance between the electrodes, the more power you can draw. I guess 20 to 25 13.8V piles in parallel should at least power the lights of the car.
Well zinc and copper are both heavy metals after all but they are also micronutrients. I doubt there's too much of the metals dissolving anyway. Or at least this 500 lemons worth of dissolved copper and zinc once in a lifetime won't practically do any harm.
@@infectedmushroom7544 as he said, about 15 lemons. However, you'll get almost no amperage out of it, so you can make multiple of those 15 lemon lines, and then hook all of them in parallel. You'll get still the same voltage, but way more amperage. That's what they did if you look closely.

Why cut them in half? Why not poke a hole just big enough for the wire? That should slow the oxidation and potentially improve the results of the experiment.
I've seen far fewer lemons light up an LED just fine. I think your zinc electrodes oxidized before you could start the experiment. Although, I've never seen halved lemons used. I've only seen whole lemons used. Halving them probably destroys their potential. You probably can also use other metal in the place of zinc like aluminum. Any metal with a high electrolytic potential to copper should work. An any rate, you should have done tests with less lemons on smaller loads before stepping up to starting a car.
Cutting them in half doesn't "destroy" anything or even degrade it really. Citric acid is just a *very* poor electrolyte, not to mention they aren't using very much electrode surface area whatsoever. Each of these "cells" may be capable of a few mA, let's be generous for math purposes and call it 10mA. That's very generous, as they effectively pointed out, but I'm going to assume something resembling "real" plates are used, rather than a stab of copper wire and a zinc plated bolt. A typical 4 banger starter draws 200-300A in most conditions. Let's say it takes 20 lemons in series to reach a nominal (+/- 5%) 12V. You would need 15 thousand of these *strings* of 20 lemons to get close, assuming the abilities of a single lemon as stated above. That's *300 thousand* lemons, just to have hope. The actual number is likely a bit higher just because there's so much room for error when attempting something like this. Doing it with copper wire and bolts, the number is probably in the 2 or 3 digit millions range. Gonna need a bigger garage and a copper and zinc mine to make it happen 🤣
I wonder... Copper and Zinc plates could be connected and lined up in a plastic tub, and filled with lemon juice. Similar to the structure of a car battery. If they didnt throw them out, they could use the juice from the lemons they have. But jugs of lemon juice concentrate can be bought cheap.
Instead of placing one electrode in a lemon, you can put more as if in parallel. This will give more amperage in each series. If you place the zinc and copper electrodes close to each other, the amperage increases significantly. In the video, you put them at both ends of the lemon a long distance, this is causing a little amperage. This type of battery is a variation of the world's first invented battery. In the first prototype were arranged metal circles, copper and zinc on top of each other separated by a thin cloth soaked in acid. The large surface area of the circles and the small distance between them provide enough amperage to make the battery usable. So you need to think about how to increase the electrode area in the lemon. My suggestion is to put multiple zinc nails in one half of a lemon and many copper nails in the other and tie them together, instead of just one . This will use the area of all nails. Alternatively, use zinc and copper circles and slice the lemons into thin circles and place them between the metals.

Put the lemons in a container, add yeast, make wine and destillate it to alcohol. Then drive your car on it. It would be interesting to see how much alcohol you could get and how far you could drive...
Plus aren't they configured wrong? Appears to be a series configuration and if that were the case I believe they would be maximizing voltage instead of current. Youd want to find the 12v mark of the series configuration and then repeat that in blocks and connect them in parallel to give you the higher amperage
With this lemon you can charge a phone but difficult to start a car. But you got a really a good team to help you. You can make lemon pickle, it has a good sales in India.
Try using flat blades of metal strips instead of screws and use super rough sandpaper to roughen up the surface and quickly plunge it into the lemons so you have maximum surface area!
For anyone thinking about measuring amperage that way, don't. Usually you'l blow the fuse in your meter, and possibly damage the power source. When measuring current, you should be measuring what is supplied to a particular load. Hooking the supply directly to the meter short-circuits the supply, which usually results in popping something.
true, and the saddest part of this video was that it actually didn't pop anything, since the short circuit current was so low (so, helpless in starting the car)
Yes,lithium ion batteries can create an awful lot of current when tested for amps. Unless you like damaging your batteries or risking a battery fire, only test the voltage.
@@phasm42 hehe, yep! Hope it's got a fuse..! It's actually the correct way to measure the short circuit current, for example for solar panels. But you should be aware what you are measuring before you try it.
1,5A is way too low for engine to start, you should chack amperage of 1 lemon before starting project to see if there is a point of buying 70kg of lemons. Your math is also off by x1000, you had 1500mA, not 1500uA...
Which means youd need 60 of these sets to get to 90 amps. Not 66.600. Also they could increase capacity with decent zinc rods and not cutting the lemons in half, so the water doesnt evaporate quickly. And it would be a lot better to solder all joints and get thicker cable for the 2 main leads, bc they will lose quite some energy
@@Techie1224 that's amperes per HOUR tho, a car starter can pull about 300A at once. In fact car batteries are made for this instantaneous huge peak that is easily 10x their rated hour capacity, but ain't gonna resist many full cycles (from full to empty). I think a normal car battery can even resist short circuits without damage if it doesn't last longer than a normal cranking time. If they measured the short circuit current flowing they would know how much cranking amperes they have available, and I think that's what he did and reached like 1.5A only, probably because they oxided so quickly during the making of the battery itself.
this is probably the most efficient thing hes ever done on this channel 54: *sees my comment* "is that a challange?" *next video*: TODAY were making a v10 PRIUS
could press the juice out of the lemons and put it in a big container then get a big piece of zink plate and a copper plate and dunk that in the container the moment you want to start the car , that you can do in a second and xhould give you the peak power for the time it takes both plates to oxidise , might need quite a few plates in parralel to get the juice out of the juice
Normal car battery has 10-13 mm thick connector... I know it's not same as radius what equals as the contact area, but it won't need really thick plates... Once the surface oxidizes, it doesn't matter how thick the plate is as the surface acts as an insulator.
Great experiment, at least you tried it. I tried it with LED's and the result was very disappointing, series parallel with a few lemons only yields in a few mA's. any bigger load then a LED the voltage drops rapidly. Using the lemons. Make some nice lemon ice blocks out of it.

Instead of the tiny wires, use sheets of zinc and copper. The more plate area you have, the more current you should be able to get. Also, the distance between the plates affects how much current you get. You could also get the juice from the lemons and make a proper battery: Zinc, paper divider, copper, paper divider etc. and then fill it up with juice. You could do it with about ten or twenty lemons I'm guessing.

If turbocharger works on principe running air into engine, just why not use compressor 😂 Pls do this. And pin me up. Love your vids! Greetings from Slovakia! ❤️
Big ship engines use compressed air to start, but the pressures there are about 30 bar. For a car, preferably diesel, they would need to inject the air directly to the cylinders. Quite a modification on the cylinder head...
"The centrifugal supercharger is used in many applications including, but not limited to, automotive, truck, marine, aircraft, motorcycles and UTV's. Of these applications, they are most commonly utilized for increasing horsepower in street vehicles and race applications. While the first practical centrifugal compressor was designed in 1899,[1] centrifugal superchargers evolved during World War II with their use in aircraft, where they were frequently paired with their exhaust driven counterpart, the turbosupercharger."

I like that you still managed to make the video entertaining even though you kinda knew it wouldn't work.
Next video : Starting a lemon with 1000 Ladas
Can a battery made from 1000 lemons start a car?
I save you some time: NO
Thanks!
I paused at the ad and scrolled for this comment. 👍 Thanks
Probably he used too small of the mass like a screw.
Came straight to the comments for this.
Maybe one extra lemon will help???😋
Macgyver would have done it with a potato, chewing gum and duct tape. :D
Then Jack O'Neill would of used it to run the StarGate
I'm going to have to throw a thumbs up at this just for the pure genius of this experiment. XD
Bottlenekced by the zinc and the copper, you could had made much more with way less lemons. Your per cell resistance was too damm large.
This guy is some kind of Russian MacGyver is awesome
*Cave Johnson wants to know your location*
that's because of:
the distance between the zinc & copper on each lemon.
the surface area was too small.
you guys could definitely start up the car with a 1000 lemons if you put plates instead of wires and scrows/nails and if theyy were close to each other.
Legend says, the next day, their new lemonade stand made millions...
Shop burns down
Fire department report: it looks like the source of the fire was lemons. Rofl

What about using the lemon juice to see how much voltage you can get from that like from a gallon or 2
Its insanely funny to watch this one! Awesome!!! Nice Job!!

I was looking for this comment
So this is why that street in Azerbaijan had all those people selling lemons in The Grand Tour...
When you are measuring current you need to put something into the circle so it doesn't short it 😂 thats why it was dropping so quick
So glad these guys are keeping it real instead of faking it for views.
This is gold right here! Better get you lemons when shit goes down.
8:30 He "measures amps" by short circuiting the battery. xD
10:19 He tested the battery by having one wire in his mouth and one in his hand. :D
Oh god I don't know if I should cry or laugh. :S
No he didn't short circuit the battery, I watched it many times...
@@WhiteEuphoria74 have you used a multimeter? when you measure current the power is supposed to pass trough to the load, he put the wires to the positive and negative leads.
@@Jeffthermite Yes I have used multimeter many times and I know what you mean when you mention short circuit.
At the same time it is very common and possible to measure battery amps with a multimeter.
In a short circuit you basically get infinite amps even with a small battery. Go ahead and do this with a fresh 9v battery, i triple dare you :D

There may be too much voltage drop from each connection maybe the wires should have been soldered and try it in a beaker of juice from 1000 lemons squeezed
You can make 1000 Moscow Mules and have one heck of a garage party.
I always enjoy these videos,this channel should have way more subscribers,such under rated channel
Man: I once started a car with one thousand lemons!
Kids: ? Da faq
if only Heisenberg had 1k lemons 2start the RV
LOL
LOL, "JUICE" in the battery, haha! I see what you did there!
Love all your videos, keep it up!
Maybe you'll get more voltage out of big grapefruit's! I'll take mine mixed with vodka. 🍸🥴👍
Connect up all the wiring first through plastic sheets & connect to the vehicle then quickly push the whole lemons over the electrodes
It's Russia. You need to use potatoes and use magnesium instead of zinc. Wire them in parallel. You can start your car with less than 1000 of them, probably closer to 200 😊
So glad you guys did this anyway. Reminds me of the old "mr wizard" tv show when i was a kid.
If turbocharger works on principe running air into engine, just why not use compressor 😂
Pls do this. And pin me up.
Love your vids!
Greetings from Slovakia! ❤️
Big ship engines use compressed air to start, but the pressures there are about 30 bar. For a car, preferably diesel, they would need to inject the air directly to the cylinders. Quite a modification on the cylinder head...
"The centrifugal supercharger is used in many applications including, but not limited to, automotive, truck, marine, aircraft, motorcycles and UTV's. Of these applications, they are most commonly utilized for increasing horsepower in street vehicles and race applications. While the first practical centrifugal compressor was designed in 1899,[1] centrifugal superchargers evolved during World War II with their use in aircraft, where they were frequently paired with their exhaust driven counterpart, the turbosupercharger."
Air compressor= high pressure and low debit, super/turbo charger= medium pressure in high debit
Compressor- low volume high pressure, turbo- high volume low pressure 👍
audi and volvo actually have exact that
They answered the question in the first 10 seconds of the video. I love it.
Love this channel please keep the videos coming!!!
7:00 car quickly approaches and almost bumps Vlad from behind... Vlad doesn't even twitch!!!
I caught that too. Balls of steel.
