Want to know how to create a battery out of fruit? Chemical Engineers can convert the chemical energy stored in a fruit to the electrical energy needed to power a device such as an L.E.D. light bulb. By using electrodes such as galvanized nails and copper nails, a flow of electrons between the two sets of metals is created and generates electricity. Graduate students from our department will demonstrate this practical example of how we might power modern devices using acidic fruit sources.
