lmao cool i bet potatoes will power some CFLs
how long you think potatoes will last tho?
cause ill have to change em out every 2-3 days cause they get rotten

No, no, you need to use LEDs with a potato battery! :D
Lets see, that pic I posted... the specs are 4mA/500lbs potatoes, plus you'll need an AC inverter if you want to run your HPS off them, and change them out weekly...
If you can grow that many potatoes to power a HPS, why not just go into the potato crisps business?
ya pure water does not conduct a current. What you were seeing was an electroconductivity meter at work. they added NaCl (an ionic compound) to the water and were showing that the water now conducted electricity. As water only is conductive when it has ionic compounds dissolved in it.
reminds me of the 'water into gasoline' stories ... :D ... BUT, at least you came up with an idea from reading a science book, and there are lots of people in here that don't read anything ... keep up the research ... :thumbsup:
BOOM
no no i dont want to run a HPS off them just maybe 3 or 4 120watt CFLs
lol
No fucking around with vegetables! You have to concentrate on GROWING!!!!Go order some solar panels or a wind turbine from Northern Tool.

Harbour Freight Tools is another cool one.
And Grainger works as a great reference.
thats a badass idea, wind power
hm....i will prolly invest in that sooner or later
I'm considering putting up a small wind farm on my roof since I live alongside a long ridgeline and get consistent strong breezes. Peak output is 400w/turbine, and the grid will buy it back.
Just a hint for those of you considering wind, solar, etc. power, charging a battery and messing around with all that wiring actually reduces efficiency, it's better to hook up an inverter and run your setup directly back to the grid so your net power consumption drops.
And don't forget to get an emergency shutoff and tag your telephone pole that you have a generator! Otherwise the poor linesman coming to save you from a power outage gets zapped.
