You can make a battery out of both a lemon or a potato - if you want to see how just do a net search on "potato battery" or lemon battery.

In science we have been conducting an experiment to see which of the fruits/vegetables creates a larger flow of electrons- for us it was the potato so it may make a better battery than the lemon.

u make it by putting a penny in a lemon and a nail on different sides, then use a battery meter to see how much electricity the object has.

Potatoes actually are stem tubers, that means potatoes develop in large stems that thicken into a tuber. The tubers hold starch. Starch helps generate electricity. An average potato has a PDH of 5. (A scale for measuring acidum.) To get the electricity out, you must make a chemical reaction. Nails are covered in zinc, which reacts with the acid from the potato to get electrons from the chemical reaction. The potatoes acid is positively charged hydrogen. Protons from the potato traveling from the nail flow through a wire to the clock. You need two different metals to make the chemical reaction, like copper and zinc. One must be positively charged to pass positive. The opposite goes too. That’s how potatoes generate electricity.

The same with a potato battery potato's have more power than lemons and are easier to make.
