charge your phone with your urine.

Smart phones require power to use. And we all know that they can't run for more than a day. So, you've to take charger while travelling and you've to search for the socket.

Here, is the solution that you can charge your smart phone with your pee. Amazed right....????

But how.....?????

Researchers have been working on this concept. You can now charge your phone with your pee. Yes, you can give power to your smart phone. Of course, you may had a doubt that, how can we carry urine while travelling.... Right...!?????



World wide there are 2.5 billion people with out access to safe sanitation. In attempt to address this need The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is funding research on the topic: ' create the next generation of sanitation technologies '. As part of the Grand Challenges Exploration Scheme, the intelligent Bio Energy group were awarded a phase-1 grant for the project ' urine-tricity: electricity from urine '.

Urine-tricity successfully demonstrated the charging of a commercially available mobile phone, using microbial fuel cells ( MFCs ) fed with real neat urine. Urine-tricity++ follows on a phase 2 of the project, with the aim to develop MFCs into a mature sustainable energy technology with a direct application in everyday life that could change the way people perceive waste and energy.

The proposed work is all about electricity generation, whilst cleaning the urine 'fuel' and producing clean water in addition to fertilizer, and is focusing on small-scale MFC units, which have been shown to be more efficient and energy-dense. The continuous flow nature of the MFC technology facilitates continuous growth of the constituent biofilm organisms, which clean the input, and can be subsequently used as fertilizer. In essence, the more powerful the MFC is, the greater are the rates of urine utilization.
