Well, they are conductors...but I don’t think they’d fit in your pocket very well.

All the apples and potatoes would cost more than just plugging it in. “Art” is not always functional.

Actually, I’ve always thought about what a hit I would be if I traveled back in time to like the 1400’s with my iPhone. But then I always realized my fame would be short-lived as my phone would shortly lose it’s charge. This would totally solve this problem!

The professor could have done it with a few cocoanuts, pennies and wires.

Take several cases of phone with ya. Pass out the phones a few at a time. Make ‘em pay for a recharge in your secret lab. Could give the phones away and receive revenue for a recharge.

The stopwatch, timer, calculator, camera, and voice recording features would be enough to get him burned at the stake.

That is awesome.
The could work in an emergency situation if you didn’t need to eat more than you needed to charge your cell phone.

Very creative. But with the new super high price of food, this contraption Doesn’t look like very practical

MNDude, Textide is correct. Don’t take a phone. Take a firearm and lots of ammo. If you do take a phone and they find the phone, the firearm and ammo will come in handy. Take transportation of some sort too for a fast get-away.

Power for the cell tower might be a challenge as well - not to mention the central office switching equipment to route the calls.
