Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

I know that electricity can be produced by fermenting banana peels for a long time but what is the exact procedure to do this n what is the chemical reaction behind the generation of electricity? How are electrons dissociated because of which electricity is produced?

Hi there,

Here is a link to the Science Buddies project description for making batteries from fruits and vegetables: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p010.shtml

Here is a link to another website, with some How To videos: http://www.perfecthowto.com/how-to-prod ... ana_peels/

Hope that helps!
