∙ 13y agoYou can use a potato as a battery/power source in a very low voltage circuit. Simply pierce one side of the potato with one electrode and the other side with another electrode, completing the circuit. It produces a very low voltage, enough to power say, a calculator display. A lemon will produce slightly more. Alternatively to produce electricity you could MASH and distill the juices from a potato to produce an alcoholic beverage(pocheen usually) then extract the alcohol(ethanol) and burn that in some kind of generaror to produce electricity.
