Worlds first urine-powered battery

[Conga]

The urine-powered battery was able to generate a voltage of about 1.5 volts – with a corresponding power of 1.5 micro-watts – using just 0.2 millilitres of urine, says Lee. And if a second droplet of urine was added 15 hours after the battery was first activated, the replenished urine could generate still more electricity.

The battery is currently suited for use with disposable devices – it is not yet ready to power laptops or iPods. "But if, for example, we place a small cellular phone or transmitter on a plastic card, the chip will work as a disposable biofluid-activated means of communication in an emergency,” Lee told New Scientist. “In this case, the size will be less than that of a credit card.”

I bet those German perverts really would like that .

Yep just the kind of battery you need under the hood of a car on a hot summer day.

Very interesting. I enjoy hearing about new and inovative ways to generate electricity. I had this one idea about how to generate a low yeild nuclear device just using magnitism. Pretty interesting stuff science is.
(I'm taking physics this year.)
