So there seems to be a new type of battery that should solve a bunch of energy problems if implemented in proper ways. I haven’t been able to trace this to it’s source, but it’s funny and intriguing enough to mention.
Apparently some scientists in Asia successfully created a battery where one of the main active ingredients is urine.
… a piece of paper in a solution of copper chloride and sandwiched it between strips of magnesium and copper. This sandwich was then laminated between two sheets of transparent plastic. When a drop of urine is added to the paper through a slit in the plastic, a chemical reaction takes place that produces electricity.
This battery produced 1.5 volts of elecriticy (the same as a AA battery) for 90 minutes. Imagine a day when your house if powered by your normal evening and morning urinations… Or when your electric car gets you around thanks to your drinking habit…
The kicker, it works equally as good with blood, semen and tears. Those are some dedicated scientists.
