12:29 – A “urinal” that generates electricity from … pee. And ‘the invention made by the University of West England in Bristol, England, in collaboration with Oxfam that uses microbes that feed on urine and whose biochemical energy is converted into electricity. The experiment of “Pee Tower” aims to “export” the technology that lies at the urinal in disaster areas or in refugee camps.

The “power” of urine – The special cabinet, installed near the bar of the university campus, at the moment is just a prototype that uses urine to generate electricity that illuminates the interior thanks to cell Fuel microbiological (MFC). It is a bio-electrochemical system that generates current by mimicking bacterial interactions found in nature.

A sustainable system for the price of a few pounds – The urinal was made along the lines of those used in the camps by Oxfam, to make the experiment as realistic as possible and the mechanism that turns urine into energy is visible through a screen. Ioannis Ieropoulos, director of the Bristol BioEnergy Centre of the University and head of the project, points out that such a system is economical, sustainable and is of practical use for humanitarian agencies. “A stack of this type – he says – it costs a pound. A small unit like the one used for this demo could cost no more than 600 pounds.”
