In this study citric fruit lemon was used for generation of electricity. The lemon fruit can be used as such or in crushed form. In order to achieve higher voltages, we connected more number of fruits in series. For higher magnitude of current we have to connect lemon in parallel and for increased voltage and current we have to connect lemon in series parallel combination. Here we used citrus fruits, wires and electrodes for performing the experiment. The out is connected to LED to check the output. Output voltage is measured in various conditions using Multimeter. The various conditions under study are raw lemon, ripe lemon, aged lemon. The assumption was due to ageing the magnitude of voltage and current decreases. It is found that raw and ripe lemon gives better output voltage compared to aged lemon. More the age of the lemon lesser is the magnitude of voltage. This method can be used not only for power generation using citric fruit lemon but also after power generation it can be used as natural manure. More over this method does not cause any pollution or global warming. As the magnitude of the current and voltage is small the output can be used for working of devices which operates in low voltage and current thereby reducing the usage of pollution causing batteries.
