Lemon battery. Too weak to power much, but demonstrates the principles.

Basic potato battery. Second simple concept. Strong enough to power small clocks. (Though this set-up can power a sound system.)

A simple FAQ on food batteries.

And water clocks in brief, just 'cos. (Along with this funny bit from the maniacs at ThinkGeek.)

(Also: coconut saves the world! Yay!)

In other wanderings...commercials are getting scary. (For anyone who doesn't get that? Try watching this first. Oh, and just FYI? That's not Jennifer Beals dancing, that's Marine Jahan, seen here dancing on her own.)

(She's not to be confused, btw, with Slavitza Jovan who played Gozer the Gozerian in Ghostbusters. Just so you know.)

batteries, winter, time, science
