@@JoelCreates Can you ignite a potato with potatoes? If you manage to use a spark of the potato battery to light up a potato on fire you might be able to cook a potato using burning potatoes
To add an extra pinch of accuracy, you could just eat some potatoes before pedaling the potato oven. Therefor at that moment you would be powered by potato, and you would basically be a potato energy converter. Breaking down the potato energy to turn into kinetic energy, then into electrical energy, which is then converted into heat energy to cook another potato!
@@randallmokjialung3592 I'm no diet expert, but I'm pretty sure you only really start burning your fat reserves once you enter starvation, something that wouldn't happen if ur stuffed up on taters o.o
You should be able to power yourself off of potatos, although I'd guess you should eat a steady supply of them for like an hour beforehand, then do some light exercise, so that your digestive system is always processing them, and putting the glucose into your blood throughout the process. Then, as long as you didn't tire yourself at all, you should be running exclusively off of the extra glucose being put into your blood by digestion. (The exercise is to clear any none-potato derived energy from your muscles).
Pretty sure it's the acid in the potato that is essential in making the potato battery work. Think lemon battery. Powdered potato is probably really low in that acid.

POTATO POWERR!!!!!!!!!!! 🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔 Thank you so much for the effort put into this video, You seriously deserve more than a million subscribers, Happy Thanksgiving to anyone reading this!
While some may call this a failure, I found this absolutely fascinating. Really helped to grasp the scale necessary to pull off something like this. What if you used the potato battery power for a heat pump instead? Like an air conditioning unit, compressing and expanding gas to take away heat from an environment and put it into the potato
I would assume the air in the potato mixture was your biggest issue. Hence, when applying more pressure things improved. Drawing a vacuum for each cell before sealing up to remove the air would be a neat next step
Now these are the questions that must be answered to progress humanity. Can potatoes cook a potato? Who knows. Great video idea as always Joel, always a treat when you upload.
Potato is love, potato is life. The path of the potato is not always easy for those who choose to walk it. The starchy tuber sees unlimited potential it its many eyes. All hail the spud.
I think he just went about it in the wrong way. What if he just used them in the place of firewood instead to fuel a fire to cook the potato. I bet he would have had much more success.
This video reminds me of when you go to a store to buy a specific item and its out of stock and the salesman tries to distract you to sell you something else!
Haha, cool cool. As far as the potato battery, I think it's entirely possible to improve it by adding some salt into the mashed potato 'electrolyte'. Hey, I dunno for sure, but I'd love to see a follow-up comparison video when/if you get around to testing something like that.
@@JoelCreatesi mean, you're using so many parts of technologie that, I'd say it's a potato(plus many other parts) batterie. If your main component is the potato I'd say it's a potato batterie, which yours is, so I'm guessing if you added some chemical ingredients it wouldn't be bad, but again that's a personal question. Bro I'm typing about a potato imma stop
Sir you didn’t just cook a potato with a potato, you cooked my potato brain that’s made of mashed potato compressed into potato by cooking a potato using a potato
I think you're really onto something here. Imagine creating a oven like this but a bit larger, and it uses like a water or windmill to generate the small amount of energy needed to cook.
i was eating potato chips whilst waiting for my hashbrowns to cook in my oven whilst watching this (eating potatoes whilst cooking potatoes and watching a video about cooking potatoes with potatoes)
It's like opening a beer without a bottle opener. The trick is to either take a table, some type of thin cutlery or idealy another beer if you have one.
What I love about Joel, Louis, and Basically Homeless is that they are like the newer version of William Osman, Peter Sripol, and BackyardScientist (and michael reeves). Its like a new generation of makers in a sense but not.
the funniest thing about the potatos being replaced with AA batteries in the beginning is that, even a single one of those batteries would produce like 20x the output of a potato. the massive battery he produces later on has the power of like, a 9 volt battery, and lasts significantly shorter.
It's astounding that eating a potato and pedalling a bicycle is immensely more efficient than a giant battery of potato electrolyte, copper, and zinc. If a gram of TNT equates to one Calorie (kilocalorie), and a hand grenade is around 57 grams of TNT, and medium potato is around 110 Calories, then a medium potato has the energy of approximately two grenades. Except released much slower-your mitochondria has protections in place to keep metabolism from becoming combustion, lol. Memorizing the metabolism cycle was one of the hardest parts of college biology (as if the entire thing wasn't hard), but gosh it was amazing to learn.
I thought for *sure*, to tie it all back together, you'd be eating potatoes while pedaling. That's the only thing that makes sense, right? Because then you would still be baking the potato with potato power. But that didn't even come up!
You burn enough energy pedaling to make a potato, to regain a little over what you lost. You have invented the unlimited energy glitch. Hats off to you
Since the oven is superinsulated, a lot of pedaling time could also be saved by getting the oven up to temperature, even a lower one, and then leaving it for a couple hours
Bike pedals are reverse threaded (lefty tighty, righty loosy) so they don't come lose while pedalling. Whoever assembled the bike put them in the wrong sides.
I legit thought you'd start eating only potatoes from the point you decided to pedal, so that it really would be potatoes powering you, powering the oven.
My god people in 1970 thought there would be flying cars but here we are wondering if a potato can cook a potato
Human’s have gotten smarter over time, that’s all!
We first need to figure out self driving because humans still can't be fully trusted with a normal car.
We’re only a short few millennia away from potato powered flying cars.
😂
Well when people’s goals are now to be influencers. It doesn’t exactly move mankind forward.
The line “boil um, mash um, stick um IN A BATTERY” just got me too well.
i read this as he said it lol
Lotr reference
You can probably get more energy by burning the potato, rather than using it as a battery.
he isn't even using the potato as the battery, just as the electrolyte, the energy comes from the metals!
Probably
@@JoelCreates Can you ignite a potato with potatoes? If you manage to use a spark of the potato battery to light up a potato on fire you might be able to cook a potato using burning potatoes
He technically did that by burning the potatoes consumed earlier inside his body to produce the energy that went pedal-cooking the latter potatoes
then you technically only need one potato! it cooks itself
"where are the potatoes?"
Thanos: "gone, reduced to mash... I used the potatoes to cook the potato. It nearly heated it"

The best part of this is that if you fail to cook a potato, you can still eat it. It’s just a raw potato.
Raw potatoes might be poisonous though, or at the very least wreak havoc on your digestive system. Would not recommend.

Potatos can finally be charged with assisted man slaughter, this is very poggers.
But can you cook a potato with the potato that you cooked with a potato?

I heard both irish and russian music throughout this video
You should try again, but with a different chemical reaction. Use potassium nitrate to burn a potato and cook another potato.
