    Still requires you to buy specialty parts to complete. Sure, its a nifty idea. But so is trying to make a V8 engine out of soda cans. You'd still have to buy some parts to make it work right. Let me know when you can do it from just the store bought items.

      Oh, Oh!
      I've got one. Take a lemon, a piece of zinc, and a piece of copper...
      well, you know the rest.

      I know, it's not much. But it's hundreds of times more interesting than this article.

      It's like saying "We've used a band aid to hold together this light bulb, battery, and piece of wire. look! we can show you how to make a flashlight out of a band aid!" Quite deceptive indeed.
