You can also generate electricity using lemons and other fruits ;) nature is interesting and full of amazing potentials. Unfortunately, we will need to plant a whole lot of potatoes to get even a small amount power. Still it demonstrates many possibilities using nature.

indeed, just what i had to say about it :) . If you learn more about the history of electricity you wouldn't be so surprised about the potatoes ability. But after all: you can't know everything in this world, so it's nice that people can be surprised by things that for others are so normal.

It really is a great news. Now in the wrld we are facing so many problems making electricity & If we could make electricity from potato in bulk quantity it is good. There is a bad side also. No one will be able to eat potato because its price will go up like OiL.

Ha ha ha ha ha... we did this kind of experiments when were were in school doing science experiments. It some ions in the potato that is able to transfer a weak flow of electrons that creates the current. Interesting, isn't it?
