Charge Your iPod With An Onion And Gatorade

Filed in archive General Cool Stuff by Dameon Welch-Abemathy on November 11, 2007

This video reminds me of a potato-powered clock I saw as a kid:

I can't even begin to explain how unpractical this is. If you have your USB cable for your iPod, you can likely find a spare computer to stick it in. At least one can hope.

Maybe if you're traveling with your iPod, your laptop croaks, and you can get to a grocery store to buy the necessary items, it might be worth it. Seems an awful lot of trouble to go through, if you ask me.

What do you think about this? Leave a comment below.

Obviously it isn't supposed to be practical, its just a cool experement.

It's a hoax. Don't try it because it won't work.

Inoculated Mind is right, I had to take the hit and test it out.

great experience, but no one will use it

It didn't work both times I tried. I wasted a USB cable, and now I'm screwed for the science fair. Thanks Household asshole.
