| Dr. Ioannis Leropoulos at Urine Lab |
British scientists at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory and the University of West England (UWE) disclosed their chemical achievement in a paper of The Royal Society of Chemistry Journal of Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics.
Dr. Ioannis Leropoulos led the team that made the first urine powered Samsung cell phone using Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs). Dr. Leropoulos said that the urine powered Samsung phone was able to send an SMS message, browse the Web and make a brief phone call. Dr. Ioannis said that eventually their MFCs will be able to store enough energy to make long cellphone calls, which require more energy than their MFCs can produce at the present time. MFCs are efficient at converting urine into energy at no cost. MFCs are able to turn organic matter (urine) into electricity by utilising the metabolism of living organisms. These microbes digest the urine and convert it to electricity that can be stored in a cell phone battery.
The research scientist are looking for additional partners to help fund and develop toilets that can charge electronics with their MFCs.
I made the video below to inspire all who urinate to help promote this unlimited, renewable, stable and free energy source. Enjoy!
