New discovery finds potatoes could keep the lights on for more than a month

With the advent of low energy LEDs, a single potato has the potential to keep a room lit for more than a month. Researchers like Haim Rabinovitch study agricultural science to find alternative energy solutions. While the concept of a potato battery is nothing new, Haim’s group has found a way to charge the potato allowing it to release energy for a substantially longer period of time. Take a look at his impressive findings with the video below.
