PLUGIN' POTS

Power providing plant pots

This project conveys the idea that coexistence between nature and energetic production is possible.
When these plant pots are plugged to a lamp, they light it up. The power comes out of the soil. Two electrodes, of zinc and cooper, are placed in each pot and generate the power by electrolysis.
