What is the best fruit to use to power a clock?
A lemon. A pickle if you have another choice. Seriously.
What are the purposes of the potato clock?
A good purpose would be to see if the energy from the potatoe ca n really tell time and so that way if it does tell time how long it will last

Who invented the potato clock?
William A. Borst invented the potato clock in 1983. He was helping his step daughter with a science project when he remembered a high school physics demonstration where a battery was formed by inserting two metal probes into a potato. After recreating that demonstration, he was looking for some electrical device that could be powered by such a small amount of energy. He found a digital clock module in his workshop that required a very small amount of current but the required voltage was greater that a single "potato battery" could supply. He then connected two of the spuds in series to increase the voltage supplied to the clock module. It worked. He was able to operate the digital clock module using two potatoes. At the time all this took place, William was a partner in an auto repair business. Wondering how long one of the Potato Clocks would run, he setup an experiment to test the longevity of the spud batteries. While this test was going on, a customer who happened to work for a local newspaper came into the repair shop. After inquiring about the unusual clock there at the shop, the local paper ran a story about it. This story ultimately went out OJ the national wire services and the Potato Clock story was out. He never made much money on this product but enjoyed the attention that it brought to him for a time. The rights to manufacture ended up with Skilcraft Corporation who manufactures the clock today under the name of "The Two Potato Clock". Now you know the real story of the potato clock. Best wishes to all who read this. --William A. Borst, Inventor.

Raw, It will last just about forever. But if it is baked, you should eat it within a week.
How long did the first powered flash light last?
Not flash light, just a regular light!
How much voltage does it take to power a clock?
My big kitchen clock runs on a single AAA cell. That's 1.5 volts. My son has a solar-powered watch. The solar cell is a lot less than 1.5 volts. I used to have a clock in my office that ran on the voltage between two needles stuck into a potato. I had to get rid of it after a long weekend when the clock was stopped and the office was full of fruit flies. But the potato was not a tremendous voltage source. I don't know what's the smallest voltage that a clock has ever run on, but it's obviously a lot less than one volt.
