Microsoft teamed up with Carphone Warehouse and artist Caleb Charland to wirelessly charge a Lumia 930 using apples and potatoes



From Neowin:
The achievements of the team are on display outside the massive Westfield shopping centre in Shepherd's Bush, West London. The two companies worked with science enthusiast and artist Caleb Charland on the installation, which is described as a 'magnificent charging art piece'.
