尿液发电（Urine power generation） Urine is a waste that is excreted by our body, which contains 95% of the water and 5% of the metabolites. The urine is treated as a fertilizer for the crops. In the eyes of chemists, urine is more than just fertiliser. It can be a valuable new source of energy, even if it is used for electricity generation! According to statistics, people worldwide excrete 6 trillion and 400 billion liters of urine a year, and researchers say urine is a potentially alternative energy that has so far been neglected In fact, urine is not only a fertilizer that can be fed on crops, it can also be a raw material for fuel cells. In 2009, Potter, a scientist at the Ohio University, obtained hydrogen from electrolytic urine for fuel cells. This provides power for the car, as well as for appliances such as household appliances. A cows urine can provide enough heat for 19 homes, Potter said. Soldiers can use their urine as fuel and theyre easy to carry around on the battlefield.. The power of a refrigerator sized urine fuel cell is about 1 kw. Professor Christian Keni, a chemist at the University of Georgia, said: a chicken farm produces enough electricity through the urine of a chicken to keep it running properly.. Researchers from the University of the West of England described the use of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) to generate electricity directly from urine. The study is published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society for chemical medicine in the near future. The team is working on whether untreated urine can generate electricity through a microbial fuel cell and calculate the amount of electricity produced by the urine when using a microbial fuel cell. In the experiment using microbial fuel cell made of acrylic and 25 ml of cathode and anode bottle, a small water pump and the electrode 11 connected by a water storage bottle, untreated urine as a reagent injection recirculation storage bottle, injection volume of about 25~300 ml or between lower vol
