Woooow: Pair of Socks It Could Generate Electricity Using Urine

Pair of Socks It Could Generate Electricity Using Urine

Most of us consider the urine as a waste disgusting, because urine was dumped in the toilet and we clean themselves after passing urine. But for the survivors, the urine can be a thing that helps when emergencies, such as avoiding themselves from dehydration. Even urine can be used for non-consumable such as this one technology.

Reporting from Ubergismo, Monday (12/14/2015), a team of researchers who are members of the University of the West of England has successfully developed a pair of socks that can mengasilkan electricity from human urine. So how does it work socks so as to generate electricity?

First of all, the urine will be collected in a sock. When the user goes to him, those stockings will force the fluid circulating through a tube integrated. Then the tube will carry urine to the microbial fuel cell that contains the bacteria. These bacteria will consume the nutrients from the waste of the human body and ultimately generate electricity.

The amount of electricity produced is not much, and will not be enough to power a home, but enough to power a wireless transmitter or to send a message every two minutes. It is very meaningful to the survivors who need to broadcast emergency messages when the phone is off or out of battery power.

For now, the technology applied to socks this is not perfect and requires further research and development before it is finally available at camping equipment stores / outdoor. On the other hand, this technology proves the existence of other ways to menghsilkan electricity from something she had never imagined before. (rez)Hopefully this article useful and can inspire all audience.
