Now you can use Lemons to
power your next QRP Rig . Working DX around the World with free power .You need
several Lemons in series to make up 12 volts.The wires got to attached secrely
to the electrical contact so the current can flow to your QRP Rig.To make up a
lemon battery it take one pure copper stip and one pure zinc stip . You have to
stuck the copper and zin into the lemon, attacheding wire to them .You don't
want the copper and zinc to touch inside the lemon.
The electric current come
from the chemical reaction between the acid in the lemon, and zinc metal.The
acid oxidizes the zinc making positively charged hydrogen and that causing the
electrons to flow from the zinc to the acid.The copper pickup the positively
charged and completes the circuit.
Wind power works the best of
all I have finded that if you inshall the wind alternator in back of the mic, as
you talk into the mic the wind turn the Turbine alternator produces enough power
to run the Rig and trickle charge battery. But I have find that if you talk to
long ,you will over change the battery and damage the Rig from over voltage.So
you will have to install some type of voltage regulator to maintain the
necessary +/- 1 Volt .
Sun power work , but only in the day time ,At night the battery will run down if you are on air too long .But in tests I have run, with QRP rig power and changing the battery all week long and only use the Rig a little at night and week ends it worked ok..But Now if you live in KL7 LAND with sun 24 hr. a day for 6 months a year you have it make, and Use windpower for the long 6 months of night.
