Question: Can you make a potato battery?

Answer: Yes , usally it would take a galvanized nail or a penny. All you will need is a potato zinc copper and a wire. The battery will not produce enough electrical current to power a house, but maybe a small flashkight or a miniature led.Using ordinary hook-up electrical wire, you can use the potato to create a voltaic cell, which will power a VERY small bulb. A side note here about voltage & current. This process will produce less than 1.5 volts DC (AA/AAA battery). However, producing 1.5 volts does not necessarily produce enough current to make the lamp actually power up to full use.
