Pee-Powered Cell Phones In Our Future?
We love finding new uses for urine, particularly if this by-product can help the cause of improving communications. So it’s a good thing we came across this item in Cellular News. It seems that physicists in Singapore have developed a battery that can be powered by human urine. Originally developed for health care kits, these batteries use urine as it power source charge. Upon discovering this new invention, the folks at Cellular News said “we naturally couldn’t pass up the opportunity to comment on such a product being used for those ‘emergency’ phone calls when your conventional battery had died.” We say yes, you could have passed up the opportunity to consider these pee-powered batteries for cell phone use.
