For my experiment I am using a copper wire, a zinc screw and lemon and for some reason when I hooked it up to the voltmeter it didnt work. Any ideas as to why this happened?

That gives zero volts because the "batteries" are pointing towards each other. They have to all point back to front.<br /><br />So instead you have to use metal-pairs to join the lemons. Twist a short copper wire with a short zinc wire to form a wire that's half-and-half. Use many of these paired metals to join the lemons.<br /><br />Also, the metals must go in the same direction all through the chain. Start at one end and make sure it goes zinc-copper, zinc-copper, for every lemon. For the ones on the end, use the opposite metal (so each end lemon still has a zinc and a copper.)Bill Beatyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550984316407115834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763358098426655968.post-13802015365501264292008-06-06T10:13:00.000-04:002008-06-06T10:13:00.000-04:00Wow..Nice..
