Want to run a web server but can’t find any power socket? No problem … if you have some potatoes.
Spud is the name for the world’s lowest power consuming web server that runs on raw potato power. That’s right Spud uses potatoes for power, about 5-6 of them and serving around 0.2 hits/sec, which means it will not survive any kind of digg effect unless it uses toothpicks
The instructions for making one are here. It uses Microchip PIC16F876 as a CPU.
