Potato radio

Hi guys,

Does anybody know what's the story of a Potato radio!??

Making radios out of potatoes. Am I correct?

Using the potato as a battery?

If this is what you're talking about, the energy isn't really coming from the potato but from the metal electrodes.

A seqrch for "potato battery" yields lots of hits. It's a short jump from there to a potato-powered radio.

Well, my cousin wanted me to help him to build a potato radio as a school project. His teacher suggested him to make one and said him that a potato is one thing more than a battery! He told him that a potato is a capacitor, resistor and even a diode!
I do know what a potato Battery is. I remember that have seen a potato Defibrillator capacitor some where too.
But it seems the teacher wanted something more than a radio, powered by a potato. He wanted an edible radio!! lol
