Solder the 4 cell in series to the led, respecting polarity according to the scheme.

Put 1 drop of lemon juice on each cell.

And voila', enjoy one hour of free light ;)

Here are some considerations about this battery design:
-wire the copper strands very close together for better results;
-if you enclose the whole battery to reduce evaporation, the led will light for longer time.

We will see 10 different designs, each one with its pro and cons.
