Urine-powered generator unveiled at international exhibition

Run_to_da_hills

Being from where its coming from surely this must be taking the piss.

Could you imagine the peggy dell off this thing after a few weeks. :eek:


"Four African girls have created a generator that produces electricity for six hours using a single liter of urine as fuel.

The generator was unveiled at last week’s Maker Faire in Lagos, Nigeria, by the four teens Duro-Aina Adebola, Akindele Abiola, and Faleke Oluwatoyin, all age 14, and Bello Eniola, 15.

So how exactly does the urine-powered generator work?"

• Urine is put into an electrolytic cell, which separates out the hydrogen.
• The hydrogen goes into a water filter for purification, which then gets pushed into the gas cylinder.
• The gas cylinder pushes hydrogen into a cylinder of liquid borax, which is used to remove the moisture from the hydrogen gas.
• This purified hydrogen gas is pushed into the generator.

Ah piss off will ya?

Awww!

Literally gives the steam off yer piss

You blast the machine with piss

My piss is staying in my nappy alright.

Hande hoche!

Wonder when the first one will explode?

And people thought the Wii was revolutionary. I wonder which lucky soul gets to put in the fresh "fuel".

Googles ''Four African girls, 1 litre''

They're obviously just extracting the urine

I guarantee the government is already looking at ways to raise the tax on it

Run to the Hills you are slipping. Don't your realise its all a big conspiracy by big energy to discredit local energy production strategies?

Yes I will be rich.
I love beer and the more beer I drink the more urine I produce.
Its a win win for me the more I drink the richer I become.

Hello ther kin Sirs,

My daughter is one of the clever ladies in the fine article you have been reading. I am happy to say a large private corporation has offered us a great sum of money for this product, iver 100 million dollars US. However I need an agent outside my country. If one of you fine honest gentlmen would pm me your bank details to hold the mone for me I will of course offer great compensation.

If it helps my father was once a great king, so you know you can trust me..

I look forward to hearing from you friends.

Two pages and not one person saying well done to the girls just smutty jokes abut urine.

Well if i had discovered it i would have wet myself with excitement.

That will be the me the next stage, a nuclear powered version that works on cum.

Vinny, leave the house, you don't need the tinfoil hat.. It's ok out here.

Yes but beyond the OP, which is generally just a copy and paste about some nonsense gathered from the bowels of the infected internet zone. One should never go there.

Like Ennis but with wider streets.

Youre confusing loophole with poophole

The trucks these days use P1ss to clean the exhaust fumes:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_exhaust_fluid

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is an aqueous urea solution blended with 32.5% high purity urea and 67.5% deionized water. DEF solution is used in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) to lower NOx concentration in the exhaust emissions of diesel engines.[1]

So next time you see that 'Adblue' pump at the Garage, you can blast your diesel tank with some pi$$

Urine is put into an electrolytic cell, which cracks the urea into nitrogen, water, and hydrogen.

But the really interesting bit is this
http://www.ohio.edu/ceer/research/urea.cfm

Theoretically, the cell voltage for the electrochemical conversion of urea to hydrogen is only 0.37 V, whereas water electrolysis, a popular electrochemical method to produce hydrogen, requires 1.23 V to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.

Urea at present is around €300 per tonne

Fair play to those girls. This is just the kind of inventions Africa and the world needs in times like these.

It could be connected to an outdoor toilet...or a public sewage system out of the way...

Fair play to them..well done

Anyone know what degree of pollution it causes?

Urine ....will it become more valuable than oil?

And will it make us value people more as they now produce a valuable commodity...

We need to drink more water..

This is great!!

I hope they get a price...THEY SHOULD THE NOBEL PRIZE
