@angelastella @lowqualityfacts If you put enough electrodes in series you can get some voltage, and now I'm wondering just how many volts you can get from a single potato.

Now THAT is an interesting question. It depends on how close and how far apart you can space electrodes, and there's no way to find out but by experiment.

And zinc and copper* and voltmeters... this shit is gonna be huge, alright!

@angelastella @lowqualityfacts heh I was just looking up electrical potentials and thinking lithium copper setups

Lithium is a bitch*. It's no wonder it took two hundred years of electrochemistry to tame it.

*I'm a bitch too, but the good kind of bitch, as in "you pay me, we fuck, I forget all about it".

@angelastella @lowqualityfacts I've electrochemically refined sodium before. Lithium would be a fun challenge.
