Pee to save energy

Home > Eco-Friendly Gadgets > Pee to save energy

 

I have often been grossed out when people talk about the possibility of surviving on their own urine. But with the way the world is progressing, it may soon be the case.

I hope your mind (and stomach) didn’t do the somersaults with the previous statement but chemical engineer Gerardine Botte came up with a means of generating energy through urine.

The Botte team reported last year that they had been able to generate hydrogen from urine and confidently stated that progress was being made towards the successful creation of such a device.

So the next time you really have to pee, make sure you collect it. It may come in handy, if you run out of gas.
