Serious alternative energy: Charge your iPod with an onion and some gatorade

Looking for weird and creative ways to use less power but still keep gadgets like your iPod charged up? Well I think we have a winner! McGyver would even be proud of this video demonstrating how to charge up your gear using nothing but a USB cord, an onion, some Gatorade, and a screwdriver.

The whole thing only takes a couple minutes to set up (besides letting the onion soak) so I think I'm totally going to give this a shot! Do you think it works on cell phones too? Because I have a friend who can't seem to keep anything charged -- maybe having this option would help?
