Instructions

• To start the procedure I used Zinc coated 3.5
  inch nails and Copper out of a neomex electrical
  wire. 
• Testing the voltage of one grapefruit gave me .78
  volts and basically no amps. 
• I linked four grape fruits in a parallel circuit
  and it gave me a little over 1 volt.  Linking
  four grape fruits in a series circuit gave me 3.3
  volts. 
• I used an LED light because it only required
  volts.  I was lacking in current and amps, so the
  halogen bulb didn't work. 
• To see the bulb better i placed a black cylinder
  around it.  Wires were cut to correct lengths and
  soldered to alligator clips.
