to make something useless energy source? This question has set a combined team of British universities of Bristol.
use organic waste to produce energy is not a new issue, but the first time it was decided to use it to charge your phone. Researchers have developed a device that was compatible with one of the models of Samsung.
The heart of the invention ismicrobial fuel cell, which transforms the organic matter (in this case human urine) into electricity. Is used for bacterial metabolism. Of course, to produce energy in this way is neither easy nor efficient. That is why the work of British scientists could be considered a breakthrough.
“We have developed cell generates enough power to send messages, browse or conduct a short interview. Speaking by phone consumes the most energy, but in the end you get to the stage they manage to charge the battery for longer. concept has been tested – it works. Now we need to expand it. “
– said Dr. Ioannis Ieropoulos of UWE Bristol University, who led the work on a solution.
wrote last month of the battery, the key element is wood. Finding ways to green energy generation is therefore still the goal of many researchers. In today’s increasingly popular mobile devices any solution to quickly charge your phone is at a premium.
