Using urine to create electricity, by the way, clean up all germs in the urine

Have you ever imagined that the biological liquid in your body that you release every day will bring light to mankind? And yet, they even work to treat waste and stop harmful organisms through the drainage network.

The use of microorganisms in urine as electricity has recently been rated highly in terms of ideas and applications. This is a very useful biological solution in the era when the world is avoiding using fossil-based fuels.

But without stopping, scientists decided to go one step further. They decided to research and apply this technology to destroy pathogens in urine. This step is becoming more and more attractive and attractive to the developing technology world.

This biotechnology can also kill pathogenic microorganisms in wastewater.(Illustration).

The research team from the University of West of the United Kingdom successfully researched and demonstrated that just building a low-cost urinal could provide enough electricity to help light up small apartments.

The experiment, supported by the non-profit organization Oxfam in 2015, demonstrated the potential of this project in areas of disaster, natural disasters, refugee camps - places where light is lacking. The night makes people who live in this place very vulnerable to theft, attacks and even rape.

At the same time, this biotechnology can also kill pathogenic microorganisms in wastewater, opening up a host of other potential applications for remote areas or for scarce cities to make Clean waste.

The project research director explained: 'The main character of this project is microbial cells capable of generating electricity. During growth, bacteria that eat organic substances in urine help them grow. At that time, their bodies will produce a certain amount of electricity - urine power '.

Studies have shown that, in addition to the ability to generate electricity by producing energy during growth, microorganisms also have relatively good disinfection because they produce hydrogen peroxide (old oxygen) glass into water and atomic oxygen), has a very good antiseptic effect.

The antiseptic feature gives the West University team a new stream of ideas - application of this feature to clean up waste. In order to prove this idea feasible, they chose a fairly common and dangerous intestinal bacteria strain - Salmonella bacillus - capable of causing typhoid or food poisoning symptoms, for testing.

After giving a certain amount of Salmonella through systems containing urine microorganisms, the output data gave unexpected results - Salmonella levels were significantly reduced.

The project "electricity urine" was implemented in 2015.

Researchers were really excited about the results of this experiment. They have created a stable ecosystem in which we can treat waste, generate electricity and stop harmful organisms through the drainage network.

In fact, microorganisms in the urine have effectively killed bacteria, which have reduced the amount of pathogenic bacteria below the level they can harm humans. Although bacteria cannot be completely removed from the wastewater source, it is only a matter of time for scientists.

To enhance people's understanding of the project, founded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the team integrated their technology into public birth houses and placed them at the Glastonbury music festival in the UK. National.

Energy is generated from the toilets used to provide electrical panels at the festival. This plan is to handle more than 1000l of urine and has provided electricity for a set of 10 information boards.

This technology is being researched and developed around the world. Then there will be days you will no longer have a headache with electricity bills anymore because . your own urine!
