Wonders shall never end. Sometimes this invention blow our mind,
right??? Read this and then i really want to hear what do you think about it???
Scientists working at the Bristol Robotics
Laboratory have described the “breakthrough” finding of charging cell phones
using urine as the power source to generate electricity.
“We are very excited as this is a world first,
no-one has harnessed power from urine to do this so it’s an exciting discovery.
Using the ultimate waste product as a source of power to produce electricity is
about as eco as it gets,” Dr Ioannis Ieropoulos from University of the West of
England UWE), Bristol, an expert at harnessing power from unusual sources using
microbial fuel cells, said.
“One product that we can be sure of an unending
supply is our own urine. By harnessing this power as urine passes through a
cascade of microbial fuel cells (MFCs), we have managed to charge a mobile
phone. The beauty of this fuel source is that we are not relying on the erratic
nature of the
wind or the Sun, we are actually re-using waste
to create energy,” said Ieropoulos.
He said so far the microbial fuel power stack
that scientists have developed generates enough power to enable SMS messaging,
web browsing and to make a brief phone call.
