Customer service be like,"have you tried turning the potato off and on?"

Try using two potatoes. One positive and the other negative. Be careful not to invert the potatoes or you can produce a short circuit and fry the potatoes.

*1966:* In 2016 we're gonna have flying cars! *2016:* Trying to charge a phone using a potato

charging your phone the irish way

Potatoes don't really act as a power source, but in the first place they just go in a way that carries electricity by passing an electron current between two metal pillars. Of course not recommended, but if you really want to experiment with potatoes, you can charge electronics using a quarter of a potato boiled for approximatly 5-10 minutes.

Okay, you must have two different electrodes for this to work. Unless you placed a different type of metal on one the prongs of your adapter, nothing will happen. You will also need more potatoes connected in a wired or jumpered series-circuit configuration to power and charge the cell phone. In each potato with the two different types of metal, (example: Zinc nail and copper penny placed inside of the potato) the electrodes, with a voltmeter, will measure anywhere form .5v to .8v for a single russet potato. Carefully examine the output voltage of your actual plug-in adapter. This will allow you to understand how many potatoes you will need in series to power up and charge the cell phone. joe.

You have to use two magnets with copper coils around it and pierce the potato on either side.

Look at all these measly people living in 2016-2020 while I’m here in 2021

I cracked so hard when he tried to reinsert the plug into the other part of the potato hahaha...like trying another port or something.

Plot twist : There was a power bank inside the potato

it's amazing thanks a lot it will help us in south Cameroon where we hardly have electricity for day.

Wow thats pretty coo- *Published on April 1st, 2016*

I would rather charge my phone with a Potato than buying a charger from wish.

It worked on my phone. Sometimes I have to ensure to seat the plug just right into the potato for it to continue charging, but otherwise, it does work.

*a potato flew around my room before you came in-*

Scientists have discovered that if you boil the potatoes for 8 minutes, it greatly increases the energy yield

Omg this is the coolest thing i’ve seen all day

looking this up in case i go back in time to the medieval period and don't have a way to charge my phone

The fact that he kept trying was hilarious!

It’s a good thing I didn’t bother trying this method on my phone 📲! Thanks for sharing the truth with us.

i recommend lemon or orange because they have ions in acids ( H+ or protons) are part of the chemical reaction that helps to produce electricity.

Thank you Jacob. Very cool.

Is someone in 2020

A true masterpiece. I can’t wait for the next vid to drop!

I have heard of people making batteries out of lemons so wonder if that may work though it would likely take a very long time

It won't work unless you have one copper and one Nickle pole. The acidic reaction between the two metals causes the current, it should work with a lemon as well. Try again it might work.

Now do a " how to charge a battery using pickles " or how to convert a Bun into a power bank

Good job giving it a try

Even though a potato can be used as a battery it's only a DC battery it cannot create an alternate current because therefore would need to be coiled current along with a transistor to mimic the frequency of oscillation and if it was truly going to impress your phone will be turned all the way off and then connect the power cord because then it would automatically sense the voltage being given to it

18 million people: Interesting

I just got the overheating message on my iPhone 📱📱📱

That usb Walwart takes 119vac and converts to 5vdc. The potatoe produces a voltage about .1 to .9 with two different electrodes, but usually lower voltage than that. The get 6 to 10 potatoes with two different electrodes in each potato and connect in series. Cut the charger cord at the Walwart, and attach it to the potato battery. Plug the other end to the phone.

I'm here due to a power outage. getting desperate.

That was the longest 3 minutes of my life

Is anyone else scrolling the comments to see whether it worked or not?? If yes then like my comment

Notice how this was made on April fools😭

Learn2 Know2: In our next video let’s try to make a call with a seashell and some tinfoil! Me: 😶

Keep up the good work man

You actually can do it, but it's more involved. You need a copper anode (penny) steel cathode (nail). It would take about 3 potatoes. Study up on potato batteries.

Well, I’m not gonna say you CAN charge your phone like this but it is a fact that if you stick a steel rod and a copper rod in a potato you get about one half volt reading on a jester, oranges work better and lemons work even better. Not sure if that’s enough to charge a phone but you will get current. It’s simple science, no big deal really

*You have unlocked a new species of phones!* -THE POTATO PHONE.-

Oh we just loved it .

the charger is a power bank

All I’m saying his voice relaxes me

*This brings a new definition to Potato Wifi*

After keeping the charger to a potato thus it works when we keep into a pulg, please reply I want to this experiment

Does anybody else realize the upload date of this video?........

My mom be like : why are you wasting the potato

"may be that's a unlucky side" - A law of physics even Einstein couldn't figure out

YOU NEED ELECTRODES to actually make a chemical power supply. The potato contains electrolytes, which allow electricity to flow through (like lemons), but in order for there to be a voltage difference, you need materials that have differently charged ions (I think--been a while since I took chem). But even if you did manage to make a potato battery with say zinc and copper, it would be a DC power supply. Your wall socket takes in AC power. And a single potato could not supply enough wattage anyway.

Amazing!

Ireland: *it’s free real estate*

Nice 3mins detailed tutorial

Wow!😮 I like the shape of ur potato🥔

I remember this went viral

Now onwards you are funny so in front of public because of you are charging mobile with potato 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣😂😆😆

I have no power and this was my only hope. Awesome

Now That's What I Call A Portable, Eatable, Cookable Charger

I remember this stuff all over the internet

Omg incredible

طريقة ممتازة وذكية أريد الآن تجريبها تبدو الطريقة لشحن الهاتف ناجحة كم أنكم أذياء ..شكرا لكم من فضلكم واصلوا بنشرها

I think all depends on the phone energy and the plug.. needs to be connected only with the cable itself

Super experiment do like this many more experiment all is well

If it was real nothing would stand in my way to finally live self sufficient in the woods ^^

BaCk iN mY DaY

That’s a magnificent potato

Can we have a bigger potato i want to charge my truck

1:00 the moment you voided your warranty

This IS funny 😃🤗😋. U gotta plug the potato in!

I think u haft to use copper wire and magnets in the potato cuz at barns and nobles they have a kit were there are magnets and a watch clock and the potato actually does charge the clock

You are missing the copper wire and nails

Charge with corndog covered in monster be energy drink

It will work but you need copper and zinc to mix with the sugar, water, & acid in the potato to make the electric charge. Stick a copper nail or penny in one side and a zinc nail on the other. It’s probably going to need more than one potato to produce the voltage necessary for a phone. The more potatoes the stronger the voltage so you’re going to have to form a circuit connecting the nails and pennies by wrapping wire around the nail.. google it 😂 Too much to type & I don’t want to make it confusing because it’s not. Just have to have positive and negative and form a complete path. Boiling it will make a better charge too.

Very fancy charching mobile with potato

Holy smokes! this is actually real. This potato is 5 measured in voltage, an average IPhone charger is about the same. An alkaline battery is 1 VOLT. Omg your potato is majestic, With the power of 5 potatoes, you can power a door bell. Imagine a house ran on potato energy

guess you didnt know apple patched this

Seeing this video!!..I should try to make a power bank with onion..

Look at the date this was posted.

Show charging battery with your phone off!!!

I just enjoy the comments 😋😋😋

0:53 "Very powerful potato" - Random person on the internet who is charging their phone with a potato.

This is going to be helpful if it works because our current may go off because of the cyclone yaas

For anyone wondering... weather it worked in the video or not. It didn’t. Don’t waste your time.

1923:in 2021 we will have floating chairs 2021: sitting on a broken wooden chair

The video I saw did not include the plug-in part. Maybe try just connecting the end of the cord itself or the USB part and put it into the potato, without the plug in connector.

Thank you for trying.

He is using mini power bank to charge phone...

Omg. it's actually charging lmao I'm gonna try this 😂😂😂😂😂

No way man i like this

You can also do the same thing with Tater Tots and French Fries. Just make sure that you add Ranch Sauce and Ketchup after you have deep Fried your iPhone. It's tastier that way.

Ok soooooo hahahA made my day.. Dint work..but he wants a like..👍 👍..hahaha I'm dieing here.

You can actually make it work but you would need positive and negative wires with an alligator clip as well.

potato: man I didnt do breakfast this day

Thank you

This quarantine really is interesting

He uploaded it on APRIL 01,2016!!!!! #APRILFOOLSDAY

I saw this being done with two half potatoes with one prong of charger in both halves. I hope this works.

Wow thanks! It's 100% working. But how? The answer is my phone was upgraded from 2 gb ram phone to 4gb ram phone.
