"Power plants"
2006-11-11 23:15:16 · answer #1 · answered by Anonymous · 0⤊ 1⤋
A lot of plants have "potential" that can be harnessed as a battery (see, e.g., the potato clock link below). I have some friends who did a similar experiment with cow parsnip (Heracleum lanatum) to good effect. But as far as any sort of "electrical eel" of the plant world, where a plant could send out a shock, I don't know of any.
And, of course, plants can be used to produce electricity through burning/decomposition.

i haven't got a clue, i wouldn't have thought so, if so they could be the answer to the energy shortage. the only way i can think of it if you burn them and heat water and turn a turbine( a power station).
