Gross Tech Alert: Human Waste As Source of Electricity
Get ready for the Microbial Fuel Cell. From F2 Network, "Scientists have developed a device that generates electricity from human waste.The Microbial Fuel Cell devised by American researchers at Pennsylvania State University uses bacteria to break down waste, liberating electrons in the process. Normally the electrons would power respiratory reactions in the bacterial cells and be combined with oxygen molecules. But the MFC wrestles the electrons away from the bacteria and uses them to power a circuit."
