The awesomeness is that the orange is also acting as the battery.

Zinc nails + copper wires + citric acid = small electric current.

Didn't you ever make a lemon & penny battery as a kid?

Science....lost on some people

Awe. I thought the payoff was going to be that he saved it, ended up facing the correct way and continued on his way.

How much power do you honestly think that little orange could produce? Enough to power a light bright enough to make the wedge glow? Think about it.

I thought about it. You're embarrassing yourself.

It's producing enough power to light up a small LED. What it lacks in output is made up for with a long exposure time.

The orange wedge isn't glowing, it's translucent. Some of the light is passing through it.

yeah... 14 hour exposure time

also, if each of those cells was set up in parallel, it should produce an ok amount still right?

edit: also are the nails holding the oranges up? or is it something else

How much power does this LED use to get that bright again? Even a Maglite LED takes more more, by far, than that little orange can produce.

Doesn't matter how many cells you make the orange into, the orange only has so much potential.

What you are saying is like taking a battery and breaking it up into 10 pieces and that you would get 10 times the power. Sorry, doesn't work.

I rest my case. Took trick photography to make it "awesome".

Huh? The orange doesn't have any potential. The cell is the copper wire and zinc nail, the orange is just an acidic electrolyte.

I would think a chemical engineer would understand electrochemistry.

Sure it has potential. Everything does. You think that there is enough electrolyte in an orange to generate that kind of power?

It not all about the wire and the nail, the orange is a big part of the equation too.

Try it with a drop of acid and see what happens. Don't expect much, at all.

Trick photography? You're not nearly as smart as you think you are.

I am trying (without success) to find a post in this thread about a terrible fitness site...

Anyone know the one I am referencing? Basically some puggly dude's poor example of his workout routines?

Actually, it delivered more. IIRC, the car went off-road and flipped with some follow-up aftermath video from on-lookers.
