charging your phone the irish way

Try using two potatoes. One positive and the other negative. Be careful not to invert the potatoes or you can produce a short circuit and fry the potatoes.

I cracked so hard when he tried to reinsert the plug into the other part of the potato hahaha...like trying another port or something.

I would rather charge my phone with a Potato than buying a charger from wish.

*a potato flew around my room before you came in-*

Okay, you must have two different electrodes for this to work. Unless you placed a different type of metal on one the prongs of your adapter, nothing will happen. You will also need more potatoes connected in a wired or jumpered series-circuit configuration to power and charge the cell phone. In each potato with the two different types of metal, (example: Zinc nail and copper penny placed inside of the potato) the electrodes, with a voltmeter, will measure anywhere form .5v to .8v for a single russet potato. Carefully examine the output voltage of your actual plug-in adapter. This will allow you to understand how many potatoes you will need in series to power up and charge the cell phone. joe.

Look at all these measly people living in 2016-2020 while I’m here in 2021

Plot twist : There was a power bank inside the potato

Potatoes don't really act as a power source, but in the first place they just go in a way that carries electricity by passing an electron current between two metal pillars. Of course not recommended, but if you really want to experiment with potatoes, you can charge electronics using a quarter of a potato boiled for approximatly 5-10 minutes.

Scientists have discovered that if you boil the potatoes for 8 minutes, it greatly increases the energy yield

looking this up in case i go back in time to the medieval period and don't have a way to charge my phone

Is someone in 2020

You have to use two magnets with copper coils around it and pierce the potato on either side.

it's amazing thanks a lot it will help us in south Cameroon where we hardly have electricity for day.

Wow thats pretty coo- *Published on April 1st, 2016*

Now do a " how to charge a battery using pickles " or how to convert a Bun into a power bank

The fact that he kept trying was hilarious!

I just got the overheating message on my iPhone 📱📱📱

Notice how this was made on April fools😭

"may be that's a unlucky side" - A law of physics even Einstein couldn't figure out

That was the longest 3 minutes of my life

It worked on my phone. Sometimes I have to ensure to seat the plug just right into the potato for it to continue charging, but otherwise, it does work.

18 million people: Interesting

*You have unlocked a new species of phones!* -THE POTATO PHONE.-

Good job giving it a try

Is anyone else scrolling the comments to see whether it worked or not?? If yes then like my comment

My mom be like : why are you wasting the potato

the charger is a power bank

Does anybody else realize the upload date of this video?........

I'm here due to a power outage. getting desperate.

I have heard of people making batteries out of lemons so wonder if that may work though it would likely take a very long time

That usb Walwart takes 119vac and converts to 5vdc. The potatoe produces a voltage about .1 to .9 with two different electrodes, but usually lower voltage than that. The get 6 to 10 potatoes with two different electrodes in each potato and connect in series. Cut the charger cord at the Walwart, and attach it to the potato battery. Plug the other end to the phone.

Amazing!

If it was real nothing would stand in my way to finally live self sufficient in the woods ^^

It won't work unless you have one copper and one Nickle pole. The acidic reaction between the two metals causes the current, it should work with a lemon as well. Try again it might work.

Learn2 Know2: In our next video let’s try to make a call with a seashell and some tinfoil! Me: 😶

Now onwards you are funny so in front of public because of you are charging mobile with potato 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣😂😆😆

Omg incredible

After keeping the charger to a potato thus it works when we keep into a pulg, please reply I want to this experiment

1923:in 2021 we will have floating chairs 2021: sitting on a broken wooden chair

BaCk iN mY DaY

YOU NEED ELECTRODES to actually make a chemical power supply. The potato contains electrolytes, which allow electricity to flow through (like lemons), but in order for there to be a voltage difference, you need materials that have differently charged ions (I think--been a while since I took chem). But even if you did manage to make a potato battery with say zinc and copper, it would be a DC power supply. Your wall socket takes in AC power. And a single potato could not supply enough wattage anyway.

i recommend lemon or orange because they have ions in acids ( H+ or protons) are part of the chemical reaction that helps to produce electricity.

Keep up the good work man

Omg this is the coolest thing i’ve seen all day

It’s a good thing I didn’t bother trying this method on my phone 📲! Thanks for sharing the truth with us.

I think all depends on the phone energy and the plug.. needs to be connected only with the cable itself

You actually can do it, but it's more involved. You need a copper anode (penny) steel cathode (nail). It would take about 3 potatoes. Study up on potato batteries.

I remember this went viral

*Count of view reveals how people badly want to use organic POWER BANK* 😂😂

Even though a potato can be used as a battery it's only a DC battery it cannot create an alternate current because therefore would need to be coiled current along with a transistor to mimic the frequency of oscillation and if it was truly going to impress your phone will be turned all the way off and then connect the power cord because then it would automatically sense the voltage being given to it

Oh we just loved it .

if it didn't work in that damn video then how the hell will it work in life???

Can we have a bigger potato i want to charge my truck

Wow!😮 I like the shape of ur potato🥔

Holy smokes! this is actually real. This potato is 5 measured in voltage, an average IPhone charger is about the same. An alkaline battery is 1 VOLT. Omg your potato is majestic, With the power of 5 potatoes, you can power a door bell. Imagine a house ran on potato energy

A true masterpiece. I can’t wait for the next vid to drop!

Well, I’m not gonna say you CAN charge your phone like this but it is a fact that if you stick a steel rod and a copper rod in a potato you get about one half volt reading on a jester, oranges work better and lemons work even better. Not sure if that’s enough to charge a phone but you will get current. It’s simple science, no big deal really

0:53 "Very powerful potato" - Random person on the internet who is charging their phone with a potato.

Thank you Jacob. Very cool.

He is using mini power bank to charge phone...

You are missing the copper wire and nails

Ireland: *it’s free real estate*

1:00 the moment you voided your warranty

Super experiment do like this many more experiment all is well

*This brings a new definition to Potato Wifi*

Good effort

I have no power and this was my only hope. Awesome

Show charging battery with your phone off!!!

Now That's What I Call A Portable, Eatable, Cookable Charger

guess you didnt know apple patched this

Omg. it's actually charging lmao I'm gonna try this 😂😂😂😂😂

It made me laugh when he inserted the charger into the potato and saying it will charge I mean What the fuck A POTATO!

Nice 3mins detailed tutorial

I remember this stuff all over the internet

Charge with corndog covered in monster be energy drink

To everyone who clicked on this video, this is the part where Therapy helps. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I saw this being done with two half potatoes with one prong of charger in both halves. I hope this works.

This IS funny 😃🤗😋. U gotta plug the potato in!

Ok soooooo hahahA made my day.. Dint work..but he wants a like..👍 👍..hahaha I'm dieing here.

Como acabar com ronco quando dorme

Seeing this video!!..I should try to make a power bank with onion..

Mom: What did you do with my potato? Son: I was just trying to charge my phone with it! Mom: You what??

I would be seriously worried if you got enough voltage out of a potato to power that charger unit

All I’m saying his voice relaxes me

You could use that as your power bank

Look at the date this was posted.

Wow thanks! It's 100% working. But how? The answer is my phone was upgraded from 2 gb ram phone to 4gb ram phone.

Fun Fact: This is actually possible

Friend: Crap i dont have a charger Me: all i have is a potato Friend: alr that will have to do

You can actually make it work but you would need positive and negative wires with an alligator clip as well.

I'm a potato and there is nothing that can stop me for being a potato

He uploaded it on APRIL 01,2016!!!!! #APRILFOOLSDAY

It's a charging case man

I think u haft to use copper wire and magnets in the potato cuz at barns and nobles they have a kit were there are magnets and a watch clock and the potato actually does charge the clock

I did this in class you have to put it on the side
