Potatoes and many other fruits and vegetables can produce an electric voltage. By pushing two different metal probes into the potato, a voltage can often be measured across the two probes. The metals must be different to each other and different combinations produce a range of voltages.

Try different fruits and vegetables to see which are the most effective.
