You can make a Volta style battery using slices of fruit, coins (copper -
more exactly bronze) and zinc plated mild steel. You make a vertical stack
of them. You can get pretty high voltage for a short time (certainly
enough to bite you, especially with wet hands). I saw this once in a book
about science fair experiments (for kids). The original recipe used
blotting paper soaked in lemon juice instead of fruit slices. Volta used a
strong acid afaik.
