I just got a crazy idea. I think it should work. What if you made an electric shock from tons of potato batteries (go here: http://pbskids.org/zoom/activities/phen ... ttery.html) that was enough to ignite some hairspray. It shoots spuds and its powered by spuds. haha

That would be one sh*t load of potatos. Like a couple thousand, and they would go bad eventually cause you cut them. But what ever if you have the time try it.

how many volts does a bbq lighter create? I found one site where this guy powered a small sound system. But it kinda was a sh*t load of potatoes.

10,000 with a pzeizo.
it would be better to use those potatos as ammo.

A stungun, or camera circuit runs on a matter of a couple of batteries. (A 9V or two for the stungun, an AA or AAA for the camera flash).

You could use a potato battery or two to run a camera flash circuit if you wanted. It would be a nice novelty piece.
