Can potato produce electricity

Answer 1

To create a "potato battery", insert two different metals, such as an iron nail and a copper nail, into the potato, then connect the two nails with copper or aluminum wire to a low-voltage bulb or voltmeter or similar device. You won't get much power for too long, but you could make lots of potato batteries and attach them in series to get more power (voltage), or in parallel to get more current (amperage). Or, you could burn a bunch of dry potatoes, and use the heat energy to run a turbine, which could produce electricity, albeit, indirectly.

Answer 2

~0.5v 0.1mA unboiled

~1v 1mA boiled

P.S. Don't use this site for science. I put the correct answer in (which BTW the previous one was blatantly wrong, with over 20 people apparently saying it's correct, it seems like all the fake science answers have this problem ... with the exact same amount of people agreeing ... hmm...), THEN was told I had to register. After trying to register it failed, but I could sign in anyways. After signing in it erased my answer (seriously, my answer was there, I could see it during my entire registration, upon finishing the page promptly refreshed and erased my answer), luckily I assumed this was a shltty website and backed up my answer. tl;dr most people who are actually qualified to answer this sort of question rarely bother with crap websites like this.

Answer 3

a potato can indeed produce electricity. that is if you have a copper and zinc rod. the citric acid in the potato will serve as the pathway for the electrons of zinc to flow to copper. since there is flow of electrons that means that there is indeed electricity..

Answer 4

It can conduct electricity because of the electrical currents inside the potato.

Answer 5

Yes. Stick a wire in it and then the wire on a mini light, do it again with the same light, the light will light up.

Answer 6

The copper and zinc make ions.

Answer 7

it has a high pH level...

Answer 8

Yes my house is powered by potatoes.

Answer 9

yes
