Generate Free Electricity with a Potato: Simple Tips to Charge Your Phone

Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash the potatoes and dry them thoroughly.
- Cut each potato in half, making sure the cuts are clean and even.
Insert the Metals:
- Insert one zinc nail into one end of each potato half.
- Insert one copper wire into the other end of each potato half.
- Make sure the nails and wires do not touch inside the potato.
Connect the Potatoes:
- Arrange the potato halves in a line.
- Use the alligator clips to connect the copper wire in one potato to the zinc nail in the next potato. Repeat this process to link all the potato halves together, creating a chain.
Complete the Circuit:
- At one end of the chain, you’ll have a free zinc nail and at the other end, a free copper wire.
- Attach an alligator clip lead to the free zinc nail and the other end to the USB cable’s negative wire.
- Attach another alligator clip lead to the free copper wire and the other end to the USB cable’s positive wire.
Charge Your Phone:
- Plug the USB cable into your phone.
- The electricity generated by the potatoes should start charging your phone. Keep in mind, this is a very low power source, so it will charge slowly and may not fully charge your phone.
