Plugging into the power of sewage
19:00 10 March 2004
Exclusive from New Scientist Print Edition.
Celeste Biever
 
The waste you flush down the toilet could one day power the lights in your home. So say researchers at Pennsylvania State University who last week revealed they have developed an electricity generator fuelled by sewage.

Even better, the device breaks down the harmful organic matter as it generates the electricity, so it does the job of a sewage-treatment plant at the same time. Penn State's microbial fuel cell (MFC) harnesses chemical techniques similar to those the body uses to break down food - but diverts the electrons liberated in the reactions to produce electrical energy.

"There are extraordinary benefits if this technology can be made to work," comments Bruce Rittmann, an environmental engineer at Northwestern University in Illinois.


Keep on shitting.  ;D

Didn't there used to be a website called welikepoo.com? It seems to have disappeared.  :(

Are there any other good websites out there devoted to faeces?

not i.  but my friend did a project on pseudomonads and aeromonads in faeces for part of the degree we were doing at the time (i got the good bit, for a change - boring, but no shit involved).  the range of colours in the specimens she got were unbelievable - from white, through the usual suspects, to green, black, etc.  the day she got the blue specimen, we were all hysterical - it didn't help that she was hungover that morning.  oh, how we laughed.

I remember Caitlin once shouting for me to come to the bathroom cos her poo was bright blue and she thought she was really ill- turned out to be a bottle of blue pop my mum had given her the day before  :laugh:

Not quite sure of your logic there since the majority of pop bottles are clear  :P

Yes I did, not a blue bottle of pop- the pop was blue, the bottle was clear.

Usually blue or purple pop makes my daughter's poop green, not blue.  It was a little alarming the first time I saw it.
