Urine Luck If This Battery Dies
from the not-that-kind-of-juice dept
Physicists in Singapore have developed a new battery fueled by human urine, intending it for use in disposable health-care kits for rural areas. The mind boggles at all of the other potential applications, though, and as Cellular-News points, out, could bring a whole new meaning to "emergency" phone calls. Think of all the products it could power, like the Sony PisSP or the Apple iPeed.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
