Can you cook a Potato with a Potato?

You can probably get more energy by burning the potato, rather than using it as a battery.

[@iankellogg]

he isn't even using the potato as the battery, just as the electrolyte, the energy comes from the metals!

Probably

[@virgurilla4084]

@@JoelCreates Can you ignite a potato with potatoes? If you manage to use a spark of the potato battery to light up a potato on fire you might be able to cook a potato using burning potatoes

[@33blue]

He technically did that by burning the potatoes consumed earlier inside his body to produce the energy that went pedal-cooking the latter potatoes

[@jeremymcadam7400]

To add an extra pinch of accuracy, you could just eat some potatoes before pedaling the potato oven. Therefor at that moment you would be powered by potato, and you would basically be a potato energy converter. Breaking down the potato energy to turn into kinetic energy, then into electrical energy, which is then converted into heat energy to cook another potato!

[@deathofallthingspotato9919]

You should be able to power yourself off of potatos, although I'd guess you should eat a steady supply of them for like an hour beforehand, then do some light exercise, so that your digestive system is always processing them, and putting the glucose into your blood throughout the process. Then, as long as you didn't tire yourself at all, you should be running exclusively off of the extra glucose being put into your blood by digestion. (The exercise is to clear any none-potato derived energy from your muscles).

I would love to see a revisit of this where you do a full in depth analysis of what makes a mashed potato battery more efficient, maybe you make the potatoes yourself, heat them up, add salt to the mixture, add citric acid to the mixture, that way you can actually revisit the oven and say you've done it

[@fgbhrl4907]

Pretty sure it's the acid in the potato that is essential in making the potato battery work. Think lemon battery. Powdered potato is probably really low in that acid.

While some may call this a failure, I found this absolutely fascinating. Really helped to grasp the scale necessary to pull off something like this. What if you used the potato battery power for a heat pump instead? Like an air conditioning unit, compressing and expanding gas to take away heat from an environment and put it into the potato

[@JoelCreates]

Thank you! It would be cool to research various electric heat generation methods to find the most efficient

I would assume the air in the potato mixture was your biggest issue. Hence, when applying more pressure things improved. Drawing a vacuum for each cell before sealing up to remove the air would be a neat next step
