MOSFRUIT

For my Digital Systems Implementation class, I was tasked with making a MOSFET out of something that is not a MOSFET.

I was scratching my head over what to make this thing out of while grocery shopping, and came across some small watermelons.  The delicious result:

It operates as such:

• Watermelon N-channel
• Kiwi P-Channel Wells
• Pineapple insulation layer
• Canteloupe Gate/metal connections

MOSFRUITs let you control a large amount of deliciousness with a small amount of effort.
