Based on a science fair project:
A potato clock can run for quite a while depending on variables. Two .4 lb potatoes and two one pound potatoes ran a clock for 284+ hours. Lesson learned from this science fair project was to start the project ASAP. The larger potatoes lost power at 561 hours.

∙ 6y agohow are potato clocks use and how do they work???oh and how do they use the energy
An electrochemical battery stores chemical energy that changes into electrical energy that runs electronic equipment. There is a chemical reaction within the potato battery that causes the electrons to move. The electromotive force within each potato is the ability it carries to move electric current. In an electrochemical cell, such as the potato battery, the copper wire makes the electrons move in the potato, causing energy to move into the clock.
