- May 2012 - We passed one million page views - thanks and Join already :-) September 2010 I am pleased to report that my essay titled A NEW METRIC WITH APPLICATIONS TO PHYSICS AND SOLVING CERTAIN HIGHER ORDERED DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS' has been published by Physics Essays published by the American Institute of Physics and appeared in their June 2010 quarterly. 40 years ago I took an honors degree in applied mathematics from the University of Waterloo. My interest was Relativity and my last year there saw me complete a 900 level course under Hanno Rund on his work in relativity,as well as differential geometry(pure math) and of course analysis. I continued researching new ideas and knowledge since that time and I have prepared a book for publication titled 'Paradigms Shift'. I maintain my blog as a day book and research tool to retain data and record impressions and interpretations on material read. Do take this moment to join my blog and receive Four items of interest daily Monday through Saturday. Since my topics are usually unique or at least obscure, the ads running through adsense are often interesting and worth dipping into while also supporting this blog in a small way.

This is seriously interesting. The experiment uses a couple of conductive plates that would certainly work to leave the potatoes unfit to eat, but it is likely possible to use other types of plates. One should likely be graphite in any case.
There is enough produced energy to be truly useful and allows surplus electronics to trickle down into places one would least expect them. It starts of been a great way to recharge that cell phone.
There are other uses for spent cooked potatoes such as mash for producing alcohol. My point is that it is unlikely that waste potato starch will go unused if it is been produced daily.
The fact is that potatoes are presently under produced in favor of more palatable alternatives. Yet it is simplicity for a subsistence farmer to produce and store a ton of product. It simply demands a little more labor which limits any desire to produce a spare ton or so. This could quickly change all that.
The surplus cooked potatoes should make excellent pig feed.
Potato could provide electricity to millions
More than 1.6 billion people in the world have little or no access to electricity and most have no way of accessing modern electrical technology, such as like electric lighting, mobile phones or televisions.
But scientists at an Israeli university say they have made a remarkable discovery in relation to the potato which may bring electricity to millions of the world's poor.
