Another example of the use of vegetables for the benefit of humanity offers designer from Israel Seagull Shapiro (Cygalle Shapiro), the creation of which was shown at the exhibition Milan Furniture Fair. So, incredible desktop LED-lamp is quite a can be powered by ordinary … tomatoes!

According to the author of the project, lamp power can get by connecting electrodes to the tomatoes and the ongoing chemical reaction between acid, zinc and copper. This project is not only the lighting function, but a demo, clearly showing the way, how, and where the receipt of necessary energy.
Although such a "tomato" lamp uses organic source of energy, still the amount of vegetables needed for the work of one such lamp is very high. Another important point is that the lamp will operate up until tomatoes spoil.
It is unlikely that such a concept ever to appear on store shelves and will be in demand. Soree, such a thing belongs to the category of art, to which now include a good half of all sorts of stuff from industrial designers.
