Successfully fabricated the device to turn water into electricity

Sun Catalix, a company that manufactures energy and renewable fuel storage equipment in the United States, has successfully fabricated a device that can extract hydrogen from water from any source: fresh water, ocean water even the urine.

When water molecules are separated into hydrogen and oxygen, hydrogen atoms simultaneously charge the fuel cell.

The operating principle of the device is similar to the photosynthetic mechanism of plants and bacteria in nature - uses the sunlight energy to produce sugar, then the respiratory cell turns the sugar into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the type of ' fuel ' that all living organisms use.

Also handy is that this device can transfer electrical energy, wind, solar light into reserve energy at low cost. The price of a light fixture is about $ 20 and is expected to be available in the next 18 months.

Professor Daniel Nocera of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), founder of Sun Catalix, says that with this device, people can light up at night with just two bottles of water.

This device also overcomes the disadvantages of conventional solar collectors that only have daytime energy content as well as electrolysis water separators that cost up to $ 1,200 / kw .

India's Tata Industrial Group invests millions of dollars in Sun Catalix to develop energy-saving lighting equipment for low-income families in developing countries.
