Another energy source

Post by YersiniaPestis » Tue Feb 10, 2015 11:53 pm

I have been watching the videos for a while now and decided to come here tonight to ask you...

Have you considered making some batteries from bacteria? Many species of bacteria can create an electrical charge that can be built up and used. Look into it, it may take huge tanks to generate enough power for a house, 2 5-gallon buckets and a scoop of pond scum was required to run one led light bulb in an experiment I did.

Wow, that is cool. I fear it is way too large though. You can make a small salt water battery to run an LED. Or an earth battery.

Can you share some of the details of your experiment though?
