Of starfruit juice, Sunarto can generate electrical energy that can turn the light bulb is turned off for a month without.The teacher dropout ITS for a long time watching electric potential stored in Blimbing wuluh. Through a series of experiments, came in the shape it is now. It is not difficult. Simply prepare the ground glass, juice Blimbing wuluh, as well as copper and zinc plates as electrodes.Because simple, Sunarto sure everyone can make it. Electric power generated can be multiplied by increasing the size. Sunarto dream now is to develop a more concise way so that the distortion power wuluh Blimbing is easy to carry anywhere. (FRI)
