"Why can I get electricity with potatoes and apples?"


People can not hide surprises in "the world's huge handmade natural material batteries" with a height of 2.5 meters and a width of 6 meters.


Phosphoric acid contained in vegetables and fruits serves as a "battery" by placing the role of carrying electrons between copper and zinc as a natural electrolyte.


The demonstration to wirelessly charge the Lumia 930 using 800 potatoes and apple is an attempt created by collaboration between artist Mr. Charland and Microsoft.
