Potatoes Power My MP3 Player! Amazing!

I dare you to carry that around with you!

i did it , incredible

Just stick the ear phones directly into the potatoes. They play their own music.

Actually, if you insert 2 dissimilar metals into opposite ends of any citrus fruit, potatoes, sweet potatoes and many other fruits and vegetables, you will get an electric current. Do they not teach this is school anymore?

Man your beter than an encyclopedia !!!

But keep this away from Iranian goverment or they might make a nuclear bomb out of it!

this was exacly my science fair project a few months ago, just i tried to power a christmas tree. Thats a lot of potatoes.

That would be sweet

zzzzzzzzzzzz...

how long that live ... and are they rechargeable

Light your House with 1293817239817 Potatoes !

cool idea. also you have the same iriver mp3 i got. but the idea of carring the potatoes everywhere... i don't know, maybe the girls would enjoy it. yeah, every single day i carry my mp3 player to school, the girls are asking me for it, can you lend me your "ipod"? you know

Raymond? I thought you were doing re-runs... not potato science...

but are the potatoes rechargebal also. and after we use the potatoes for the mp3, can we eat it after. or it's not tasty any more:P,

Seriously, Kipkay talks like raymond in everybody loves raymond. Soon I will post a video that will overcome kipkay's metacafe fortune.

show me some method to run a pc

you are making a lot of money with your videos, keep up the good work!!

How long ??1 hour??or just some minutes?

I use an onion to power my laptop & a watermelon to turn the T.v on. I need to do more grocery in case of a possible blackout.

it's great kip! kids today need to learn more science! Keep up the good work! 5 stars!

what is a galvinized nail?

Nice trick. You are trying to prove how galvanic cell works.
This is good but i supose you didn't go to school at the phisics
class. One of the basic condition in order a current to flow is that
the circuit must be "not open" (close).Your circuit is open because
there isn't any link between potatoes so the current can't flow.
Another mistake is that you must use different kind of metals.
Zinc is ok but the other electrode must be something else (you can
use copper). Appreciate your effort but your circuit is imposible to
work. Don't waste effort to rap ten times, is useless.(good answer for AborigenDM)

Nobody believe me when I told them that I did read "How to make the power for radio from sweet potato" from my father's note-book...long time ago!

kipkay!! you should have hooked a voltage meter to it!!

you can use lemons... penny and a nail. plus with lemons you can connect them like batteries. nail to penny... nail to penny..

Not so goood maybe It's an lodye when he didnt have editing software?

kipkay....ur a legend
but i just got one question
do u always speak like that?
cause its really kick ass
thanks :P

how could it work without any salt bridge?

Lol, you are awesome.

Ok now next time mp3 is out of batteries ill look for potatoes...

Sorry, didn't work... I did exactly as in the video and it didnt work. First of all, I think the two ends should be in the same potato. Second, one end should be a galvanized nail and the other a copper wire or a penny. Third, a lot of potatoes have to be combined to get enough power for a MP3! I think this way it might work!

I did it with normal potatoes (is there a difference?) and everything I got was miserable 0,03V between the two wires. Putting in the copper wire in one potato and de galvanized nail in the other, I got 0,56V, still not enough to power a LED... Now I need to buy wweet potatoes, but I don't think it will work with them either.

that's cool, energy from a potato, LOL!

You could make lots of money. Just sell potatoes as batteries.

Holy crap, those things powered the mp3 player AND the speakers? Very impressive!

Nice vid ! Hey those "galvanised nails" are made out of zinc I suppose , no ?

And btw how much money have you earnt so far ??:-O

my friend did a video similar to this in the fact that the video is so bad it's actually funny

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/622951/do_you_want_to_get_yourself_hurt/

the funyny thing is that it's actually so bad it's funny

the batteries is under potatoes

Use that on my Mobile Phone?

how many potatoes do i have to take for my laptop

this potatoes are HuGe
look at his arm...
each potato is like 15cm loMG !!!!!!1

oi en ise ppuniofatsis

This is impossible. It won't work. the is no complete circuit.

Thats pretty neat, could you like put the ends on your tongue and get power for it? Thatd be sweet i have to try it, nice video.

cool

he sounds just like ray from everyone loves raymond

I SWEAR YOU ARE JOBLESS PEOPLE

global warming? Solved

A brand new use for that old "BEER CAN HELMET", throw the potatos in there and keep your pockets free!

WHO KILLED THE POTATO-POWERED CAR???????

.....he sounds like kermit the frog!

All electric sercuits must be connected in circle!!! Current goes from + to -. I dont see what joins this 2 potatoes (even if they are sweet).
I would work (may be!) with one potatoe + 1 copper +1 zink nail. But it DEFENETLY wouldn powre the speackers.

im gonna try that

NOw i know!!!
that is why i see integrated potatoes when i open up my core2duo system...
man.. dun you have a patent on this? .. if so ..u shud sue ..microsoft....

Ok brilliant show man....but i don't think i will
carry potatoes with me......
Keep it!

though i would like to meet you on the street with the potatoes in ur arms just jogging. :))

they thought about a way to put the power of a bag of potatoes in a small box to carry with...... and they dicovered the battery; now we want to find a way to take power out of everything bigger than a football... hihihi- not to carry with only to have a hole in every french fries you eat???

Come on Kipkay, of all the great videos you've posted, you had to include a hoax!

Just like that Mysterious1 guy who posted "Candle Power - Who Needs Batteries" and filtered out all the debunker comments (including mine), are you turning into a magician?

good job Raymond!!

how that is possible?

...he has earned more than $15000 from these videos... his pretty much abt to pay off his mortgage from this stuff... Now thts wt i call a hustler...

This is real people, we had this in school at 10th grade in Norway, the potatoes does not make alot of power.
And for those who think this is just some fake stuff, because if this was true, all people would use potatoes to power a light boulb or an computer , then its wrong because as i said a potato does not make enough power to power that things, then you need alot of them.

This is real, and its a good video to show you how to do that, and we all know we dont go with 2 potatoes in our pocket to power your mp3 player.
Thats why we have batteries =)

I thought I'd make Sweet Battery Pie... ugh- a bit to acidy for my tastes.

How did that work? for the potato battery to work, the potatoes would have to be linked to create a complete circuit. I see he used 2 potatoes because theoretically, 1.5V DC is the max voltage you can get from a single cell. And if im not mistaken, the little mp3 player he had takes 2 AAA right? So what part of the potatoe is the negative pole? the Nail or the sour cream?

first, energy from lemons and now from potatoes... I'll now buy vegetables and fruits instead of batteries so that i may eat them after use ;)
I'll try this soon :D

for all them poor people who find their iPods' battery lasts about a minute, just carry a couple of potatoes around

this is so cool... except that nobody's gonna carry the potatoes around

have to get off my ass one day and actually try one of them.
Well done. Keep up the good work.

they look like disturbed penisses

+ and - ? right potato is - left + :))))

why arn't U Electrocuted when you get next to an outlet, Next time at least connect the two potatoes togeather.

If this is to work, it would take several potatoes linked is series. Electricity doesn't magically flow through the air. Come on, pick up the potatoes and lets see the electrodes piercing the potatoes from the bottom. Maby you have magic Air where U are and electricity flows through the air. Why arn't U electrocuted when you get near an outlet fool.

You all really think that potatoes are powering his MP3 player? That answer is a big N-O. If you remember in the video, he says he has some trusty speakers, right? Those speakers are plugged into an outlet and that is what is really powering the MP3 Player! Ha!

Isn't the circuit supposed to be closed?! I mean a wire linking the potatoes...

but y din't he mention bout how long it lasts

i got an idea from it, with little experiement it may be able to run a car

I don't see how this works you don't have a full circuit the potatoes aren't connected to each other. The only reason it is playing is because there is some stored energy in the mp3 player probably from a cell battery because that set up would not work.

is that real??or trick??

unvilibable

I can't believe it. Imagine how God created things for many purposes like this. This is AWESOME!

why dont you just move to Idaho! ;D

they got a lot of good potatoes for ya!

thanx for the video though.

How does it works??????
That's cool!!
Now I will buy 1 Kg of potatoes instead of batteries :P
5 stars man :)

Did this in like 10th grade science class, just not with an mp3 player as they didn`t exist yet

you too kipkay...this is our skool band...they are quiet ...
we just need some money to promote them...PLEASE WATCH...

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/617466/our_school_band/

this is passout skool band...PLEASE WATCH!!! they are quiet gud

Good choice with the iRiver. They rock. They're bigger ones beat iPod any day.

Galvanized nails contain zinc , and this is what should react with th potatoes and produce energy but I don't think it wil produce enough and so fast . I believe that the speakers are the source of energy and you're tring to fool us .

DAMN WHERE DO U LIVE NEAR A NUCLEAR REACTOR ????

onions are more power than potatoes

I Found out how to get free ipods,xbox,ps3 etc... on www.freepay.com without going through the offers and stuff Simply send me $2.00 on Paypal ecko_gunit@yahoo.com and i wll email you how! REALLY WORKS

This is how they teach the 3rd world countries to make nuclear bombs....holy shit.....sweet potato bombs...you get a -1 dude...its stupid!!!!

This is just a way of making money out of stupid people !!!!!!!!Stop watching this stupid video.......It will never work people!!!!!!!

ppounia

i have see it before

what ive dune is takun tu sweeet putatas n powered this heer duhickey wit tu speeekas.

So you went to ninth grade too?
