Microsoft teamed up with Carphone Warehouse and artist Caleb Charland to wirelessly charge a Lumia 930 using apples and potatoes



From Neowin:

The achievements of the team are on display outside the massive Westfield shopping centre in Shepherd's Bush, West London. The two companies worked with science enthusiast and artist Caleb Charland on the installation, which is described as a 'magnificent charging art piece'.

Many of you may remember, from your school days, being able to generate electrical current from a potato. This works because potatoes are excellent conductors filled with electrolytes that facilitate the flow of electric charges, and the same applies to apples too.
