The movie which I tried charging the super car's battery using the power of lemon is being released

Besides squeezing and making a dressing, lemons are used for flavoring tea with slices, processing into lemon peels and marmalade using leather, using zinc and copper as batteries and using it as a battery There is a use. Mr. Mark Rober , an engineer and YouTuber, is challenging a project to charge a super car's battery using a variety of lemons.

Lemon powered Supercar - WORLD'S LARGEST Lemon Battery - YouTube

"In order to generate electricity to operate a certain beast, I have to do a challenge," said Rober, who is challenging to charge the battery with lemon this time.

"That beast is the Volkswagen supercar battery"

"This super car is a racing car that will knock out and win the new record of the electric car class of Pikes Peak International Hill Climb and can rush up a course of about 20 km in total length with an altitude difference of about 1400 m "

"But there was no detailed instruction from the Volkswagen racing team on how to charge the battery," Rober said, although Volkswagen's racing team has been asked to charge the battery, until the charging method It is revealing the fact that it was not specified.

"So, when I charged the battery with a lemon battery , I thought that it was cool."

However, Mr. Rober alone calls YouTuber's William Osman as an assistant, because it is impossible to construct a huge lemon battery enough to charge the super car's battery, and two people work on it.

Mr. Rober said that "The lemon batteries we make this time will arrange the lemon in a disorderly manner and will not make the wiring look like stinky," he said, not saying it will not be a lemon battery that looks like the image below, which is not good.

"So make a rack with thin zinc and copper boards set on the wood ... ...."

"We did wiring for efficiently obtaining electricity from the lemon set in each rack."

And the rack for the completed lemon battery is the image below. The rest is just setting a lemon in this rack, but Mr. Rober tells us, "How to collect large amounts of lemon was a challenge," he reveals that he had not thought of ways to collect lemons.

So Mr. Rober and lemon in his backyard ... ...

Succeeded in preparing a total of 1232 lemons by acquiring "a large amount of lemon not goods" obtained by negotiations with local farmers.

And Rober set a lemon in the rack with Mr. Ottoman ......

A huge lemon battery is completed. Mr. Rober self-praises "This is the world's largest lemon battery".

However, a problem has arisen here. When we measured it with an ammeter, it turned out that there was only 300 mA of output and it was not at a level where it can be very charged.

Mr. Rober said, "I am giving up charging with lemon batteries that I have spent in a couple of days and I switched to Plan B," he said that there was another plan in the way to charge the 48 kWh battery behind himself I reveal it.

"Prepare wheels and aluminum plates, brushless motors, wheels (tires) for skateboarding, pulleys ... ...."

"I made a zip line that can charge a drill battery"

Mr. Rober gathered the children "The lamp attached to the pulley is charging status of the battery, we need to fully charge it," planned to charge the battery attached to the pulley by letting him play on the zip line explain.

Mr. Rober, who succeeded in attracting children's interest, started charging by placing the children on the zip line.

By playing with the zip line, the battery level gradually increases, but at the same time the physical strength of the children also goes away ......

Mr. Rober acted on children with lemonade used lemon batteries as lemonade.

Mr. Rober seems to have succeeded in supplementing the physical fitness of children with lemonade because it had "rule to drink one cup of lemonade" every time he gets on the zip line.

After that, full charge of the battery for the drill is completed by letting you play with the zip line many times.

Mr. Rober took the battery for the charged drill "We got the power to use the lemonade and the physical strength of the child, the super car can run two soccer fields (about 200 m). However, in order to run the actual race, we need to get the power to run the 198 field further, so we will move to Plan C. "We will clarify that Plan C will supplement the shortage of charging.

"The one used in Plan C is the power of the sun"

"The one that produced petroleum, coal and natural gas we normally use is also a source of all energy because there is a theory that it is photosynthesized leaf fossils bathed in sunlight in the past."

"In addition, since sunlight warms the air, it brings about changes in atmospheric pressure, so wind blowing and rain is allowed, so wind and hydro power generation is also possible."

"Furthermore, because we eat plants and herbivores that gained energy with sunlight, we can live by virtue of sunlight and can be said to be the origin of all lives."

"Immediately, I installed 24 100 W solar panels on the roof of the garage, but there was only one problem."

"That is the same as the error made by NASA, when NASA sent a solar-powered spacecraft to Mars in 2004 ..."

"The solar cell that is the power source has been covered with dusts and I can not obtain power and it has become inoperable."

"There are many dusts in the area where I live, and there is a possibility that it may fall into the same problem as a prospecting machine, so we convoked future engineers to get a solution"
