Dear sir/madam,
We are having a science fair project and I have decided to do an 
expiriment on generating electricity from fruits and vegetables. 
I have tried the expiriment FOOD BATTERIES. When i hooked up a 
potato to a multimeter, I got 1.3 Volts, the same voltage from a 
AA battery. When I hooked up a .4 Volt light to the potato it 
did not work. But when I hooked up the light to a battery, it 
worked fine. Please try and help me!!
