lily Posted July 16, 2009 Report Posted July 16, 2009 Urine: A 'Clean' Energy Source Urine-powered cars, homes and personal electronic devices could be available in six months with new technology developed by scientists from Ohio University. Using a nickel-based electrode, the scientists can create large amounts of cheap hydrogen from urine that could be burned or used in fuel cells. "One cow can provide enough energy to supply hot water for 19 houses," said Gerardine Botte, a professor at Ohio University developing the technology. "Soldiers in the field could carry their own fuel." cont'd.... Fill 'er up! Quote I'll rise, but I won't shine.

I'd love to have some urine-powered devices for camping trips and other outdoor activities - that would be a particularly awesome application. That being said, I suspect there is some deep flaw or limitation that they have failed to mention. Quote
