How to Make a Potato Powered Clock MacGyver Style

Please visit www.macgyverstyle.webs.com. In this video I manage to power a clock with nothing but two potatos. In order to make this you will need two potatoes, a triple A battery powered clock, bare wire, galvinized nails, and leads, which you can find at radio shack.

thats not a lead thats just an ordinary clip connector you moron

@apocalypse5656 Clearly, you are a fanaticist for accurate names. Google leads (electronics) and you will find ones with clips.

@MaplePreview Why don't you ask the intelligent people who did it correctly. Maybe they can get you on the right track.

I couldn't keep track of what happened after 8:20, what is the yellow, green and black wire and what did it do to help? MSG!

[Rodecpt0]

@poopsiclesss the color of the wire doesn't matter. All you have to do is make sure you get the connections between the copper wire and the galvinized zinc nails right
