The potato is just the electrolyte. The energy comes the oxidation of the metal electrodes.

This is peak human ingenuity.
GlaDOS can run on just one potato.
This has me wondering if baked potatoes or raw potatoes create more power.
Apparently, boiling is the superior option.
Tenfold increase in energy yields by boiling.
And if you keep replacing them, you can create a continuous power supply. Hot swap potato power!
I was in a band called Hot Swap Potato Power. We played a mixture of bluegrass and nerdcore.
That sounds so very made up....but goddamnit I want to believe!
After you boil them, is mashing them preferable? Or does that ruin the whole thing?
Gotta stick 'em in a stew
I wont be impressed until the entire circuit including the wiring is made of potatoes and it runs doom eternal with ray tracing, 16K
Screw Doom Eternal; I want to see it run Portal 2.
Sure....but can it run Crysis?
The potatoes weren't baked to start.
Touché
Thank fuck, I thought that's a bunch of C4 and you're trying to smoke a whole village.
Ringtones? On my calculator?
