That could be a big potato battery bank? According to google a 200g potato give off about half a volt (0.5v) and 0.2mah
current would stay the same at 0.2mahI am not an electrical engineer, what could we do with this? | ||

The energy comes from the metal electrodes not the potato. Potato is just an electrolyte carrying current between the cathode and anode. | ||

Thinking about wattage is more useful. We'd get about 2MW so you could run 20k-ish homes (1kW average across a day) for a short time until the potato energy is depleted. You'll also need to buy the metal electrodes. | ||

I think it might better to produce alcohols from it and then burn the liquids and gasses. | ||
