[Lowfer] Great idea for experimenting...

Yah, but... show me the money! IE: voltage, current, and amount of time 
before she looses her power. Not sure but this could be yet another Lowdown 
article in the making! What's say John D?

In one battery project that I came across, the author stated that if the 
potato battery couldn't power a small light bulb or LED, try powering a 
digital watch. Now that watch is a real power-hungry device!

Bill A

BTW, Lewis, who was supposed to learn from that project? Can't say I'm not 
highly guilty of a little parental 'over-involvement' too :)
