How it works
1) The metal strips and potatoes make a simple battery that creates electricity to operate the clock. Each potato works as a device called an electrochemical cell. They convert the chemical energy stored in the metal strips into electrical energy . Two potatoes are enough to make electricity to run the clock.
2) Because of the chemical properties of the metals, tiny particles charged with electricity (called ions) move between the two strips of metal. This flow is an electric current.The potato contains moisture that allow the current to flow and keeps the metals from touching. Electric current also flows along the wires between the zinc and copper strips and the clock. This current provides enough voltage to power the clock.
