Cactus can also generate electricity

French scientists at the National Center for the first time produced electricity from a cactus that could light a light bulb.

This is an important invention. A normal small cactus planted in a sand pot on a balcony of the Science Research Center in Paris, but unusual in that it is a "small power plant" that can provide clean electricity thanks to two electrodes implanted with enzymes.

French scientists have taken advantage of the metabolic photosynthesis process of cactus leaves, in which plants will turn sunlight into chemical energy. This is due to chlorophyll chlorophyll leaves.

It absorbs sunlight and produces its energy chemical reactions, which turn carbon dioxide (CO ₂ ) and water (H ₂ O) into glucose and oxygen. Scientists have generated electricity from these two processes, directly from the cactus and have not harmed them.

In principle, "green currents" are created directly from cactus leaves. This is a revolution and the word "energy tree" is a completely new concept, but to have the power used for daily life in this case is very far away. However, it is 100% clean bioenergy./.
