How many oranges does it take to power an iPhone?

Next week, how many potatoes does it take to power a Toyota Hybrid?

Greg - is this video for real? If so how long is the life of the orange battery, and does it still drain quickly in gps mode?

The potato battery may just solve the acceleration issues Toyota has been experiencing - hehe.

The iPad will run on grapefruits.

And it's carbon neutral!!! Global warming is over!!!

Sorry to disapoint all of you, but the energy the orange battery produced came from the zinc that was inserted into it. That zinc was not produced in a carbon neutral way. (neither were the oranges for that matter).

If you leave the fruit on the tree, does it charge longer?
