“Pee As You Go?” – Urine Can Charge Smart phones, Apparently

When we found this article we were so pleased, having searched for over a year for this, discovering it on this site was an exciting time for me.

Scientists functioning at the University West of England (UWE) in Bristol, United kingdom, have found out a way to recharge a cell phone with Human pee.

The team have been in a position to charge a Samsung smart phone by placing the fluid through a surge of microbial energy cells. Using this method, enough energy is generated to send text messages, browse the World-wide-web and even make a short phone call.

According to the scientists responsible, the next phase is to completely recharge the phone with pee…I assume cleaning their hands immediately afterwards.

Dr. Ioannis Ieropoulos has worked for a long time with microbial fuel cells; he is thought to be a guru in harnessing energy from unusual options. The potential purposes of his work are very interesting from an environmental perspective.

Dr. Ieropoulos said, “We’re very excited as this is the world’s first, no-one has harnessed energy from pee to try this so it’s an interesting finding. Using the final waste product as a source of power to provide electricity is almost as eco as it gets.” Eco-friendly technology is, obviously, the good doctor’s main area of interest.

The microbial cells work as a energy converter, they take the natural matter directly into electricity, via the metabolism of live bacteria. The electricity is the by-product of the microorganism’s natural life phase, meaning that as they ‘eat’ the pee, they create energy the energy that powers the mobile. Now that is what we call ‘pee as you go’.

Bathroom humour aside, the team have engineered a world first, as nothing as large as the phone battery has ever been charged using this process before.

There is, at the present, no plans to promote this technology on a sizable scale, but maybe someday we could be signing a ‘P’ mobile agreement, the trick, as they are saying, might be pissistance.

PS – I’m apologetic about this one. The work and its implications are actually astounding. All credit to the UWE team. However, I constantly needed to do one to those ‘And Finally’ type stories and now I conclusively get to. Please forgive me, one and all.
