Bacteria Powered Batteries
Researchers at Binghamton University in New York created a Bacteria Powered Battery. The researchers said their aim is to make batteries will run for week with a little amount of bacteria rich liquid.
They used a piece of chromatography paper and a ribbon of silver nitrate under a layer of wax. The anode was made of a conductive polymer on the other half of the paper and a reservoir held bacteria-rich liquid. The cellular respiration powered the battery.
The batteries expel 31.51 mW at 125.53 mA with six batteries in three parallel series and 44.85 mW at 105.89 mA in a 6×6 configuration.
So, how the batteries will be used? Yes, not to run your car or even phone. But researchers believe these batteries can run glucose sensors, pathogen detectors & can keep small electronics alive for weeks.
