#Potato power: the spuds that could light the world Mashed, boiled, baked or fried? You probably have a preference for your potatoes.
Still, Rabinowitch and his team have discovered that actually launching potato power in the real world is much more complex than it first appears.
Their cost analyses suggested that a single boiled potato battery with zinc and copper electrodes generates portable energy at an estimated $9 per kilowatt hour,
Which raises an important question why isn the potato battery already a roaring success? In 2010, the world produced a staggering 324,181, 889 tonnes of potatoes.
why haven governments, companies or organisations embraced potato batteries? he simple answer is they don even know about it, reasons Rabinowitch.
Despite all this, some are sceptical of the feasibility of potato power. n reality, the potato battery is essentially like a regular battery you buy at the store,
says Derek Lovley at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. t just using a different matrix.
Basically, some people might not want to show off their potato battery to impress a neighbor. Still, it cannot be denied that the potato battery idea works
and it appears cheap. Advocates of potato power will no doubt continue to keep chipping away e
