You may know potatoes as a good source of potassium, but did you know they can be used to power an alarm clock. With this Potato Clock Science Experiment Kit you can generate enough electricity to run a digital clock by pushing the zinc and copper electrodes into the potatoes causing an oxidation/reduction reaction that is converted to low voltage. The clock is also capable of running the clock from tomatoes, lemons, apples - even soft drink or beer. BYO Potatoes!
