Potato Power?

WALHT: Investigating the use of vegetables as a power source, using potatoes
we investigated their energy and the strength of that via the use of a voltmeter.


WP - Whole Potato
H - Halves


1 wp (2h) - 1.68 volts
2 wp (4h) - 2.99 volts
3 wp (6h) - 4.60 volts
4 wp (8h) - 5.91 volts
5 wp (10h) - 7.34 volts
6 wp (12h) - 8.69 volts
7 wp (14h) - 9.68 volts



Overall the amount of volts (energy) can vary depending on the size of potato.
This is because when I my second tests, the reading on the voltmeter was different - it had about 0.50 volts difference. However the average amount of volts inside one potato is about 1.3 volts, but bigger potatoes might contain 1.5 - 1.6 volts and smaller potatoes might
contain 1 - 1.3 volts.
