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.
