The Botanical Gameboy
We Make Money Not Art directed me to this interesting Botanical Gameboy today. Just like the experiments you used to do in science class where you would power a clock or something using lemons, these lemons actually allow you to play a game of Tetris. Could lemons get any cooler, honestly?
From the site:
Botanical Gameboy was an experiment conducted during Playshop. This was an attempt to power a gameboy by harvesting voltage from lemons 9 lemon trees. We designed a custom game: Count Volta to live on the gameboy. Through this experiment, we found that we would need 48,000 lemons to power our gameboy, thus we demonstrated the wonders of powering small devices and controlling video playback speed by squeezing lemons.
Neat!
