Onion Powered iPod

An environmentally friendly iPod user used an onion and energy drink mixture to power his iPod. Owen Louis, dug two holes in his onion and poured the energy drink mixture in and put his USB cable in to charge his iPod. He got the inspiration when he was watching TV on his laptop and iPod and thought how much energy he was using. His friend showed him the experiment as a laugh but he toke it seriously and has been doing it ever since. He claims that this is a green way of charging your iPod. The science behind it is that vegetables contain ions when reacted with energy drink cause a charge, so almost all vegetable could be used to charge iPods. Although some people don't find this way green or they think it could damage there iPods battery life I think this is a pretty interesting experiment that can be taken farther.
