Now, the question is, can you use a zinc penny on the bottom or would the copper plating interfere with the electrolyte function? If that is the case, how easy is it to remove the copper plating?
In any case it is useful to know for an emergency power source since little LED bulbs take so little power.
Maybe someone here will try a few variations on building a 1.5 volt power source.
