After enjoying a meal of baked beans, I started thinking about using beans as fuel for generating electricity and can imagine a string of hopper cars loaded with beans rolling down the tracks.
In a similar example I recall reading about a small power generator fed by decaying vegetation. It is a real device and seems like a must-have for any part 15 radio stations with ample greenery on campus to feed the generator. If I can find a source for the device I will post it here.
Would bean power make sounds? Rather not think about that.
Saw this on facebook today...
Facebook is full of stuff like this. There's someone that in a video takes 2 potatoes and sticks a quarter between the two and lights a 120 volt LED 60 watt replacement bulb. Or another gets a speaker, wraps a wire around the magnet a few times and does the same thing.
And wrestling is all "real" fighting....This is nonsense. Don't believe this. you are smarter.
...This is nonsense. Don't believe this. you are smarter.
Yeah I've seen some of the nonsense presentations like your talking about before, but this isnt in that class..
This is more along the line of using a nail and a coin or whatever and sticking them in a potato to light a led bulb.. that type of thing is real.
I'm sure enough energy could be drawn from a potted plant to power a small radio, - consider the foxhole radios and crystal radios, their only power source are the radio waves itself, - So yeah, I could see how the minuscule power emitted from a plant could be harnessed, after all a potato is a plant too
How about a clock? $16 on Amazon

You said "This is more along the line of using a nail and a coin or whatever and sticking them in a potato to light a led bulb.. that type of thing is real."
Come on, you can't believe that is real.
I do know that if you stick a copper and zink strip of metal into a lemon the acidity will work with the copper and zinc to make a very low power battery and it "may" work a digital LCD clock as it only needs a minuscule amount of power but it would only work for a very short time. The potato "may" work also but lemon is better. But a light bulb, that goes into a 120 volt socket? You know better!
A small LED, maybe if you get 10 lemons, a copper and zinc in each one and connect in series you may get enough power/voltage for a single small LED but it wouldn't work for long.
You mean wrestling isn't real?
. But a light bulb, that goes into a 120 volt socket? You know better!
Who said anything like that? I certainly didn't, not even an indication of anything like that
All I said is I could see how could power an AM radio since they dont absolutely need power to work anyway. Case in point are crystal and foxhole radios.
Did you actually read what I said before ridiculung?
Im just looking for talking points. I guess I've been talking too much The forum has been rather lifeless for the most part with exception to us three.
But I did think a "plant radio" wasan interesting concept
