Could houses be powered by URINE? Scientists generate electricity from bacteria in human waste
British scientists have already proven they can charge a phone using urine to feed microbial fuel cells
They are now working to scale up their innovation with the aim of providing electricity and sanitation to communities in remote and poor areas
The research, undertaken by scientists at The Robotics Lab in Bristol, is backed by the Melinda and Bill Gates Foundation
The notion that homes could be fuelled by human waste, might not be an appealing thought, but it could transform people's lives in developing countries.
British scientists have already proved they can charge a phone by using urine to feed microbial fuel cells.
And they aim to scale up their innovation to provide much needed electricity and sanitation in the form of a clever bathroom system designed to be used in remote and poor areas of the world.
